@Anti-Matter Physical media will NOT last forever. The gaming companies already know digital is much cheaper to produce. It's only a matter of time.

PC gaming is a digital only media. Console gaming WILL follow suit.

I'm all for digital only. As the oldest of 5 in my family, it saves me the trouble of having to keep track of physical game cartridge. I care about the game, not the shell it may come in.

Let physical cartridges die and digital media take over. ^^

@Paddle1 oh, I'm aware. Tech has gotten smaller and more efficient in years but I'm not expecting anything major. I'm fine with seeing the new Switch handheld with more RAM and a better CPU. That would be more then enough for 1080p gaming. Nintendo has always been able to put out great First party titles with less hardware.

This is believable. Nintendo loves using last gen's tech. It cheap and it works. No need to worry about "red ring of death" issues that you see in the new tech.

If possible, I'd love to see a new playable race be added. I know it would be hard and has to be tied to the lore somehow, but I'd think it would be cool.

I rather they just keep updating Splatoon 3 longer. Keep adding weapon kits and maps. ^^

So much copium in the comments. XD

As for a possible Switch 2, it doesn't surprise me that it would use PS3/Xbox 1 specs. Nintendo always uses last gen hardware. This is because they know it works and keep it cheaper then it's competition. I don't think I've ever had a Nintendo console or handheld suffer the "red ring" of death before.

@EarthboundBenjy No product can last forever. From a developer point of view, just making the product and see how it goes is all that matters. Sides, the app is free. They aren't making money off of it.

If pulling from one product to another help makes the main product better, I'm all for it. The Pokemon TCG app is fine but it could be polish to a better product. So Kudos on them. ^^

Sweet, Tenacity got a buff. I use that on some on my main weapon build. This'll be fun. ^^

I'm all for game devs protecting their games from piracy. But Denuvo sucks. Killing performance for protection isn't the way to go...

I'd be happy if they made a new FFCC game from the ground up. It can be the latest in the FFCC series. This way, they don't have to worry about messing an original. This new game could also have working multiplayer from the start. : P

@Anti-Matter Games known for its multiplayer. But if ya want to ignore that component, I guess you can.

This Switch 2 is gonna be like the New 3DS. It will have a faster CPU and maybe a better GPU. Which I am fine with. Oh, and more RAM. That will help. The NS is still a strong console. It just needs new hardware specs.

Give another wave but with less Sword characters. There are SO many sword based characters...

@MooseTinsel Games got bigger. It makes it hard for download play to be a thing anymore.

We all saw this coming. It was only a matter of time. As for the UK, they will either cave or not get any games from Activision Blizzard. Microsoft makes plenty of money to NOT rely on the UK market.

Huh, interesting. Nice to see a change of stats. No idea if this is good or bad though..

Ah, this game was so much fun. The control scheme took some getting used to but so does Splatoon. Both games are very fun. Would love to see this game on the Switch. ^^

@Dazman And someone's appears to be in denial.

@Moonlessky I take it the game still runs pretty bad? 30fps I can live with. But if the FPS is still dropping and the game is running slow, it's not worth it. Sad...

Nice to know we don't have to worry about new accounts.

Say what you will about the age of the Nintendo Switch, it works. New tech in the Sony and Microsoft consoles (and even PC) is always buggy, glitchy, crashy, etc. I have not once any issues with my Nintendo console. No red ring of death or data breach *****.

@Dm9982 ah, that's what you meant. You left out the "online" in your post. PSO and PS are two different acronyms in the Phantasm Star series.

As for PSO2, I enjoyed the game a bunch. I have thousands of hours in that game. But that's with base PSO2. PSO2:New Genesis is a different game. Miley will vary but it change a lot compared to what PSO and PSO2 was.

@Dm9982 They did a port of Phantasy Star Episode 1 on Switch. Gave it some QoL. Mainly to it's UI.

Heha, doesn't surprise me too much that Bowser Jr. Is a teen. They are Koopas. So their age and growth will be different from humans. Hell, they could grow up to be in their 100s and look 40 or something.

@Axecon It's already confirmed that the Koopaling aren't not his biological children. Nintendo themselves reconned it. If anything, they are Bowser's adopted children. Who are probably older then we thought.

I always assumed the Koopaling were one year apart. Ludwig is the oldest and Larry is the youngest.

@Nintendancies That's competitive shooter for ya. Gamers love to sweat. : P

FFCC was my first into the series. Gameplay was fun but I loved the lore that was behind the spin off. I still want to get the switch version, if only to experience the story again (despite the caravaning not being exactly the same : p)

@Wheatly Since you clearly missed the point, I'll say it again. Us disagreeing with Nintendo's decisions is irrelevant.

Nintendo can do whatever they want with their IPs. That include NOT giving us what we want or what sounds like a good business decision. We can complain all we want but if they say no, then it's no. Aka, irrelevant.

Nintendo can do whatever they want with their IP. That includes releasing legacy content or not. The fact that we don't agree with this decision is irrelevant.

I actually enjoyed playing Black Ops 2 on Wii U. The dual screen play was so much better over traditional split screen. I would love to see such a feature make a comeback. ^^

Can't wait for Advanced Wars. I wish for it to do well. Been waiting for this game for a long time. ^^

@Il_Nintenditore For me, yes. As I will never understand why one will not give a game a chance because of an arbitrary feature. Bots are not required. It's a luxury, not a necessity.

@Il_Nintenditore Your point? Bots in a multiplayer game isn't a requirement.

@Il_Nintenditore Doesn't need any. It's not a solo game. It's a multiplayer game in the competitive e-sports scene (small one but still).

One of the reason's I love Nintendo. I know what to expect from them. Games looks good and gameplay is great. ^^

Fun game but sadly, hardly anyone was playing it online. Couldn't even get my friends to try out the game..

@Daniel36 Heha, I'm aware of what kind of game it is. I have the GC version with all the GBA to GC link cables to go with it. My friends and I played it a lot growing up.

Despite the slow and tedious gameplay, I still enjoyed it. I even tried the demo for the FF:CC remastered. It was fine but yes, it could have been so much better.

Hmm..may be tempted to get the Crystal Chronicles Remaster edition. One of my favorite game on the GC. I know the Switch version was rather butchered but I'm still tempted to get it for a cheap price.

Aliens for me. Bigfoot isn't real at all. Just some myth for the desperate. Nessie I don't know much about. Sounds and looks cool but I doubt to be real.

Heha, nice. Looking forward to playing this game again. ^^

@DanijoEX Probably because shooters are simpler and easy to work and patch compared to an open world RPG. Splatoon 3 is a competitive shooter. Which would get more support over a monster vs monster game like Pokemon.

That's just how I see it. I could easily be wrong.

Even if it wasn't much, I knew what I was buying. I'm happy to go back to the Splatoon 1 city. ^^

Kinda reminds me of a Clan System in other games. This will be interesting to see how it will be used.

The Direct was good. Found some nice surprises that I wasn't expecting. Looking forward to seeing the Splatoon 3 DLC Expansion. Can't wait to get my hands on the Tales of Symphonia Remaster and Baten Kaitos 1+2 Remaster. ^^

The MLP Power Pros that came out is a fun game as well. For $1, it's a steal.

@anoyonmus Hence why it shouldn't be surprising. It's basic economics. Prices go up as the years go by. Let's just be glass it's not up to a $100 a game. Cause you know very well they can do that.

@GoshJosh Things getting expensive is nothing new. Why complain about something that we know will happen? Especially when nothing can be done about it in the first place.

@Bratwurst35 Pretty much. It shouldn't be a surprise to know one. We as humans want things to be like this. Nothing is gonna change that. XD

Gaming has always been an expensive. Anyone complaining about paying any $60-70 for a game these days shouldn't be getting into the hobby in the first place. Common sense.

I never cared much for the series as it was WAY too slow of game. With Monster Hunter Rise, the series got a much needed upgrade with it's faster gameplay. I'm glad to see this game doing so well. It's one of my favorites. ^^

@Hero-of-WiiU Peer to Peer base, like most online games. If one connection is bad, it's all bad. Nintendo DOES need to do better with their net code, but they only do so much. A good net code can't make up for a gamer's bad ISP.

@nickeddowes I can see that being a thing. They already have a Switch Lite, so the Switch "Heavy" would be the TV version only. Seeing this form factor is VERY Nintendo.

Maybe it would be a bump up in CPU/GPU specs but I won't hold my breath. Nintendo isn't one to play the power game. They let their 1st party IP do the talking instead.

@Cineologist There is. Rewards for gold, silver, bronze, and participation.

Can't wait to play this game on my Switch. While the lack 60 FPS does suck, it's not a game killer. 30 FPS is just fine.

Better than having a Pokemon game running at 2 FPS. Cringe

Nickname pokemon can be fun. Not very creative but I call Sandshrew Koopa and Squirtle Haru. Simple but I like em. : P
