Great idea and I'd love to see it done again, but none of the games particularly appealed to me on this occasion.

Monster Hunter is always good, and Ori was a nice surprise. Hades is great but already have it elsewhere. Very excited for Balan Wonderworld but the Switch version looks awful so I'll definitely be getting that for another platform.

Sniper Elite, Rune Factory, The Long Dark, PGA, Empire of SIn, Disgea and Fitness Boxing all looked dire. So a mixed bag for me, with more bad than good.

Sadly I'm one of those that gets completely put off by the name "rogue" in anything. Immediately makes me think permadeth, procedurally generated, twitchy gameplay, all that kinda stuff. I'm sure there's more to it but the ones I've played have put me off.

Better, but not "miles" better, no. They're still wonderful games, but they've had the absolute bare minimum done to them and that's a shame whichever way you shake it.

@Balta666 Happy bithday!

My gut feeling is Mass Effect for this one, and of course the Monster Hunter gamer that's been no-so-subtly rumoured. Although with Monster Hunter World being compatible for PS5 I'm not sure I can get particularly excited about a Switch game, but we'll see.

Not expecting/hoping for anything too specific, just happy to see some new announcements. Fingers crossed they're decent ones. We'll see.

I need this in my life.

Y'know, the more I look at these, the less I want them. When it was announced I was pretty caught up in the hype but I think I might cancel to be honest. Much more excited for 3D World.

Fully expect Galaxy 2 to become available when the game goes off sale in March and all the titles become available individually. It'll be prived somewhere around £30 at least, and we'll all buy it anyway because by that point we'll all feel like we need the "complete set".

Odyssey, 3D World and Galaxy are the top ones for me. They're all great games but if I was going to choose a "least favourite" it would be Sunshine. Still good though, not knocking it.

I refuse to buy this for the awful name alone. Design looks horrible too. No thanks.

Considering that the "remake" looks absolutely terrible, I really wouldn't stress about it.

Sold, but buying it on PS4 this time around. Can't wait to try it out!

@FlaviusFire Ah interesting. I'll probably have to wait and see, not completely sold on the format but if the supporting story is good enough I'd be tempted.

Haven't felt compelled to play a Dynasty Warriors game before but this one looks great from what they've shown, for sure. Does there tend to be any exploration/wandering around in these or is it just fight after fight?

Apart from Galaxy 2 seemingly being missing (unless maybe it's hidden away after you finish the first one or DLC something) the 3D collection is fantastic. Very excited to play through them again.

Definitely keen on that Mario Kart AR/toy thing as well - would be great fun in the office at lunchtimes!

If this was released overseas I'd maybe pick one up for the novelty, but this is a really, really disappointing game lineup and I can't justify the import premium to get one.

The journey for this announcement was one heck of a trip.

"URGH really? The original Mario Bros, again?"
"Oh it's a Game and Watch, that's novel."
"It's also a clock!?"
"It has a G&W game as well?"
"...I need this."

Awesome news! Definitely getting this again, so glad there's some new content to go along with it.

Possibly the worst one so far, sadly. I don't mind the smaller Directs in general so I'm not too annoyed or anything but I'd really like to see Nintendo make some big announcements soon - it's well overdue.

I really, truly hope for the day that Sega figures out how to successfully use their back catalogue and IP. But it is not this day. Really sad - Sega Ages had some nice highlights but they need to be more ambitious with the titles they release.

Expecting it to be more relevant to the PS and Xbox crowd, which is fine with me, looking forward to it. Nintendo have their directs, and don't need much else IMO.

Too many to choose from! Bought A Short Hike as soon as it went up but also tempted by Raji, Hades, Takeshi and Hiroshi and Manifold Garden. Only disappointment for me was that I was kinda hoping to see more of Eastward, but oh well.

@JHDK That's a staggeringly ill-informed perspective.

@sixrings Ah apologies, just saw your comment on its own out of context. I agree, rabid fanboyism is never a good look.

@sixrings I get the comment thread stuff, but to me a developer giving constructive criticism to a distribution platform is far from entitlement. Nintendo could definitely improve it.

Lost it when he jumped out of the painting at the end 😂

Brilliant.

Looks like a dream come true, can't wait to visit! Will probably be waiting a couple of years though.

A bit of a disappointing announcement, IMO. No slight on Pikmin itself but when we're desperate to see some quality reveals from Nintendo, a re-released Wii U game just doesn't really cut it.

Very much the same, just one of those games that doesn't land with me on pretty much any level. But there's plenty of other games to play at least!

Makes sense really, just a shame the in-game monetization is so awful, but hopefully they'll address that one day. Haven't played since probably January this year but I'll be tempted to pick it up on other platforms if I can keep my current items etc. It's a fantastic game so I'm sure I'll get the urge to play again at some point.

I'd definitely be prepared to pay more, but it would have to be for a game that I thought really deserved the extra expense, with a certain level of production values or massive gameplay scope. So something like The Last of Us 2? Absolutely, I'd have paid a bit more for that. Can imagine something like Cyberpunk costing that much too, and if you're into that game, I'm sure it'd be worth it.

But if I'm brutally honest, I can't think of any games on Switch that would justify that price tag. In fact I've avoided a lot of first party titles because of price. As a result, Switch is a mostly secondary gaming platform for me that I've mostly used for playing smaller indie titles.

Tried the demo and was bored of that after a couple of fights to be honest, so I doubt a week long trial will convince me any differently.

SMTV is interesting but apart from that...oof. Wans't expecting much but that really was very brief. Micro more than Mini. I don't really mind but I do have to wonder why they don't just keep stuff like this for a bigger presentation.

Have to admit I know nothing about Bakugan, just vaguely recognize the name. The gameplay footage didn't look especially exciting, though.

Seems a bit pointless, just a cartidge for the sake of it.

It looks amazing! Hoping to have another Japan trip the year after the Olympics, so hopefully 2022 or therabouts. Hopefully this will still be going strong by then!

I'll preface this by saying I'm a relative Zelda newbie and haven't played OoT to completion. But this really just looks like a boring generic ranch from any old game, hard to imagine from a neutral perspective how it could be considered such an iconic location for the series. But as I said I don't get the significance!

A new game would be much better. MHW would be horrible on Switch, IMO. Barely runs on the base PS4/XBO as it is.

@russellohh you’re quite right that investor is the wrong word, but you’re not a customer either. You’re a backer and Kickstarter are careful about their phrasing there.

I haven’t paid more than retail price for anything I’ve kickstarted, which has included three games and probably three or four books so far. All have been cheaper than retail price (at launch anyway). It’s not something I’d do all the time but for the right project it’s a useful tool. That said, I don’t think the Wonderful 101 was the right project, especially as they admitted they didn’t need the money to do it and we’re basically using it as a preorder. That’s what put me off backing in the first place and that gut instinct has proved correct, sadly.

This is the potential problem with Kickstarter, got to pick your investments wisely and consider some extra costs cropping up. I've backed a few games so far and haven't been disappointed yet, but I'm definitely careful about which ones I pick after seeing a few pan out badly. It's still a great platform when done right, but you have to be careful.

Definitely picking up the Joker one, looks great!

I think it'd be a shame if they stopped completely - I really enjoyed Super Mario Run and play more of Mario Kart Tour than I do MK8 on Switch. With the right game and the right approach it's a wonderful way to play games. Sadly I don't think Nintendo got the balance right, but would have liked to see them keep trying rather than give up completely, personally.

Just makes you think what a proper open world game on flagship consoles would be like, doesn't it? Either way it looks nice enough, for the right price I'd be willing to grab it but I can't see myself paying £40-50 for it.

I adore the Game Gear. My first ever video games console. But this is really, really crap. Too small, not enough games and $50 EACH!? I would love something like this done right but big nope from this Sega fanboy.

@Swiftstorm Agreed, have bounced hard off Skyrim, Fallout and Dishonoured for the same reasons. Should have loved them but just not a big fan of first person game, sadly.

@johnvboy Ditto. Didn't like it at first but all of a sudden it clicked and I'm having a great time with friends and family that don't own a Switch. Don't need to spend money to get new stuff either.

Really bounced off this game when it first released but these days I've been back on it a lot more - great fun for quickly having a few races with friends. The monetization is all a bit crappy but it's easy enough to just ignore unless you're determined to top the leaderboards every week.

Always enjoy a bit of Paper Mario and this looks like another really charming entry in the series. And surely they can't just tease Metroid like that without having something on the way, right? RIGHT!?

...what. ARGH.

OK I'm going to boot up the game now just to try this out. Mind blown.
