@masterLEON elbow are back spin kick are all there. Just seems to have delays for repeat punch

Major bugs need fixing in this. Like you can’t seem to attach anyone without being hit.

Can’t keep a string of punches to floor an enemy without them getting afew back every single time. Not like the arcade version at all. Needs fixing fast

I’m most excited for Mega Man X Collection finally getting a PAL release and on the best gaming platform made to date.

This actually looked more amazing thr longer I watched it

Day one.... again

@Octane wow. Unbelievable

@Octane for that!?

[removed]!!!!! I just bought this in PS4 last week! If I knew it was coming to switch I would have waited and bought it in that!

They really need to start announcing games so we know what is and isn’t coming this year.

Talk talk TV store please. My entire digital movie library is on that and only way to watch is some Samsung smart TV’s or Xbox One

@iLikeUrAttitude you literally can’t tell the difference with Doom unless you sit there intentionally scrutinising the screen for differences. When you’re playing the game, you wouldn’t know, I own it on all three formats and love thr Switch version the most just because of how much more accessible it is and how totally insane it is that’s running like that on something so small.

Is this game actually any good though? I watched a YouTube video of it earlier and it looked damn boring

There was a HUGE list of games missing from yesterday’s direct considering it was a 2018 preview direct, albeit a mini direct.

The rumblings and hints were for a Direct in Jan, which wasn’t the mini one. January 11th’s broadcast date would mean a January main Direct still has 20 days left to count as a January direct... that would certainly fit the hints, the rumours and the 20 day max broadcast day gap table above.

Well there’s 5 games in that Mini direct already. How much is the next Main Nintendo Direct gonna cost me!?

This and Heatseeker were brilliant arcade style games

The Wii U was an incredible idea that really showed what Nintendo’s next major idea was. It was amazing and also a shame at the same time. You could see the seed of the future but there wasn’t enough tech there to grab the attention of gamers and developers.

The switch is essentially a fully mobilised and fully functioning Wii U.

The Seitch is literally the single most impressive gaming platform ever conceived and is where video gaming should be headed. If the PS5 is yet ANOTHER graphical upgrade to the same tired format it will be short sighted and very very disappointing.

Graphics have now reached the knee of a tangential curve; needing a greater input compared to the incremental rise in output and should no longer be the focus for ever generation. The cost of chips and programming time based purely on graphics need only be revised every 7-10 years before you’ll see any worthwhile improvement from the hardware.

The PS5 should really be looking to copy the Switch format in everyway but using mobile hardware chipsets in 3 years from now and deliver a Switch with PS4 Pro visuals and 4K docked capability.

The final necessary step in video gaming is for crossplay on ALL online multiplayer games.

All of the above

@Prizm well spice my sausage, I never knew that.

But that's just pedantic, irrelevant and doesn't change the point I was making. Nice fact though.

@YummyHappyPills this will Be to say what is coming from Jan to Summer. They don’t tend to do huge announcements of games that are miles off. They are leaning towards unveiling the imminent schedule to keep interest streaming month to month.

I expect it will be some games finally dated and priced along with a few big third party surprises in line with Doom and LA Noire like at the end of last year.

NHL 18, Battlefront II, Madden 18 and Battelfield 4 from EA would do for me .

@Bustacap what!? We logging on today just to buy this

They’ll all come out in due course as and when required.

I quite like it. Massively remaniscent of the megadrive/snes era, each boosting when they hit the next big benchmark in cartridge tech.

Anyone remember the “24 MEG” proudly emblazoned on the cover for Earthworm Jim that we’d fonally made it to 24MB storage capacity?

You never know, with microelectronics and transistor technology reaching new levels of ”wow!” You never know what else they couldn’t squeeze into a Switch Cart, before the end of the Switch’s lifespan you could see a “Super FX Chip” type upgrade to certain games, as opposed to a One-X and Pro approach that wants you to buy a whole new console at twice the price for sod-all real upgrade. Much prefer cartridge based gaming to discs.

If developers haven’t fully adopted the 32gb carts yet, can’t see any real rush on the 64gb carts. I think once third parties deliver their second wave titles in 2018 and they are confirmed as being in 32gb carts, and they make a profit, then there’s a requirement for the 64gb carts.

Nintendo games themselves won’t rewuire 64gb for a long time as their compression programmers seem to close to working genuine voodoo on how much game they can squeeze into such a tiny space.

Captain America and the Avengers
Karate Champ
Two Crude Dudes
Joe & Mac
Windjammers
Robocop
Road Blaster

Windjammers is my all time favourite neo geo game that I’ve wanted to get a digital release every year and has never been.

Instantly looking forward to this

EDIT: having watched the video, don’t like the camera angle, looks slow and less action packed than Windjammers and also not as good. Still looks worth a try though. Just wish somebody would port Windjammers

pre-ordered instantly from Game UK, get my reward points!

@w00dm4n smackdown 1 on ps1 was god awful and what you see in recent WWE games in a descendent of that trash.

People want to make a QUALITY wrestling game. They need to start with No Mercy and work from there. The last greatest wrestling game ever made

While I liked breath of the wild I preferred the more story driven Ocarina. Would like to see something more like that, where upon completion you are rewarded with full reign of the open world

All my RGB starts come from Retro Gaming Cables. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

I backed this!!! And then waited insanely long to make sure I got whatever Nintendo version. Glad I did and this is amazing

Yeeessssasss!!!!!!! Best announcement this year!!!! 3rd strike on switch!!!

@Danpal65 the innovation isn’t to dabble into mobile gaming, it is to make the whole home gaming platform fully mobile. Giving the greatest freedom, accessibility and flexibility to your favourite hobby.

No more waiting for the TV, no more waiting till you get home, no more waiting till all your friends are at their screens in their house, all coordinated, you can all log in and team play literally anywhere, anytime

Switch is the only innovative and valid platform this gen and consumers are recognising that.

Sony’s, play it cool, we don’t need to worry about Nintendo as Wii U was a cataclysmic failure, attitude may start to wane.

The Switch is an awesome piece of gaming hardware and now Sony’s ears are open it’d be worth putting money on how long it will take until their next copycat brain fart happens to play catch up, just like the “Move” incident.

@Moon I had same issue with bomberman so returned it. That got fixed and I rebougjt later on. If 2K want to make a success of themselves on switch, can’t see them not fixing bugs

@Bunkerneath they sent replacement cartridges it free of charge for that and it was the best wrestling game ever made to this day. WWF No Mercy

Physical release is out at Game stores in UK for £34.99 on December 12th

I backed it so just waiting in my download code now

Mega man x collection all the way!!!!!!

Won’t be employing this, neither will I be turning on the welsh accents. This game demands to be played with full Japanese voices and it is sacrilege to not download or indeed turn them off all together!!! Infidel!!!!

Whhaaaaaa!!??? Why did I read the WWE 18 post before seeing this!?!? Best news ever!!! And exactly what I wanted announcing at this stream!

It would have been nowhere near as good.

This is new news, but why are people banging on about Sweet Home like they themselves are making some big revelation????

2 and 4 are the best Res’

Utter shame. I never got into previous xenoblade games, despite owning them. The 100+ hours aspect always put me off. I presume I’m missing out.

This time I thought, I’ll go for it, bought the collectors edition and played and finished episode I at the weekend..... absolutely awesome game and already looking forward to prequellig I and X once I finish this.

Cannot recommend it enough. The storyline, characters, worlds, action and graphics are second to none. I just think this type of game will always have accessibility issues when it comes to attracting the general market and will remain a niche style of game.

Ideally though Mega Man X full collection on all formats would be amazing followed by all new Mega Man X 9

It will be commemorative panini stickers or something else as crap

@GC-161 hahahaha

@GC-161 no. That’s your opinion not a fact.

The fact that pretty much all games use the camera and control systems employed in Ocarina of time that did not exist in Mario64 is the point.

Yes Mario64 was one of the most ground breaking games ever, but the complexities developed in Zelda are what remain as a blueprint for most of modern gaming. Fact

@carlos82 by that same train of thought breath of the wild is a Wii U game that was ported to Switch. But you class BotW as a Switch game? All over the place, or changing the argument where it best suits you.

Twilight was a wii game, blatant fact. It hasn’t a limited run and muted release on GameCube so not to annoy fans that had waited and didn’t buy wii in day one. Exactly the same as BotW.

Neither was a port, twilight on Wii was actually and enhanced version and played better than the GameCube version also.

@MoonKnight7 was got smacked when this announcement dropped, to which I instantly thought ...... yes please.

Now I have it... it is more awesome than I thought it would be and I my most played switch game to date

@diwdiws ?? Eh? No. That would equate to $40-$50

@GC-161 I think you’ve totally mis understood anything I’ve said.
Mario continues to be one the most successful and consistently high quality franchises ever.

The point I’m making is that Zelda revolutionised the 3D exploration in gaming worlds, more than any other game, that is still evident in games reading today.

The gaming industry owes more to the leaps made in Zelda than in Mario. Fact.

@Aurumonado it so doesn’t and I have played this game to death
