The style is identical to the sonic cd intro ....... which is definitely the best iteration of Sonic ever and whatthey should carry on using from this point.

This update came out over 24 hours ago??

And yes I'm waiting for Switch. I back it on Wii U, I want it on Nintendo and I'm waiting for it on the format it is supposed to be on.

This should have been on Switch

What does it look like in game?

I'll be buying them

@timson72
It was totally the right decision at that time.

Even retrospectively, ex-Rare staff stated they had gotten complacent and considered themselves above their position. rareware actively pushed for them to be sold, 6 months after the sale to Microsoft, there was huge sellers remorse throughout the developer.

The Nintendo and Rareware relationship had broken down quite a bit and during the acquisition, so many staff left Rareware that Microsoft never really bought them, they just bought the name. Hence all the games from Rare ever since are nowhere near the quality of what we al know Rareware was.

@CheezIt Fail to see how the Switch is overpriced.
Especially when the joycons themselves are £80 for the £280.
£200 for a fully mobile/home HD console to that spec? the sheer amount of hardware in the switch is close to an iPhone which people happily pay £500+ for. where is the disgust coming from for literally this abundance of tech is something at this price point?

Got a New 3DS XL so no mileage in me picking one of these up

@Bread-Not-Toast Fox own them, not Marvel.

@Nintendian so wrong about street fighter. Awesome game and playing the best version of street fighter (II) online whenever wherever puts a whole new appeal on it.

I genuinely play this game more than anything else at the moment

no downloadable demo when I looked

Just bought mega man x collection for my PAL gamecube and a free loader disc so I'm good for quite a while till they get their ass in gear

He's completely right in everything he says.
This game was the best game ever to have the Disney franchise linked to a video game and was a brilliant game.

Completely overlooked and completely underrated.
I'd love love to see this released on the Wii U virtual console. I stillnown the collector edition with the figurine but would love to add it to the virtual collection and have it side by side it's sequel on my gamepad

Pre-ordered all three.

Thank god. Been monitoring my email like a hawk for this since the mini SNES debacle.

This is a good day

@Namelessd damn right skies of Arcadia.
It was far from a complete list, more of instantly saleable high quality AAA titles at their disposal that they continue to ignore.

@bitleman that statement makes less than no sense.

Are you suggesting Sega should continue to make garbage?

Sega are a broken and fractured version of themselves nowadays and have no chance of ever going back to their former position.

They have self destructed at their highest level of management for too long.

Turning point for Sega is simple.

They should have commissioned Shenmue 3 a long time ago.
They should have made a Golden axe game akin to Shadows Of Mordor by now to cash in on the love for Game of Thrones.
They Should make Streets of Rage 4, using the play mechanic of Batman Arkhangelsk Asylum set in a locked down city akin to escape from New York and include online multiplayer for up to four people to play through.
They should make Virtua Fighter 6
They should make Panzer Dragoon Drei
They should make a PROPER sonic game. I cannot believe that they screw their flagship mascot year in year out when Nintendo seem to nail it for Mario with every completely different take on how to evolve those games.

I could go on with Sega but they just don't seem to have any idea about their own IPs or have the talent to develop them anymore.

What the hell is Sega's problem?

@thesilverbrick you are complete miss reading the definition. A series is a sequential order or related factors.

Captain America is a series.
Avengers is a series.
They do not combine to make a series.
Star Fox, Star Fox 64 are a series.
Assault is a stand alone game.
Adventures is a stand alone game.

Star fox is defined by the play mechanic established in the initial game. A forward progressing space shooter. A play mechanic repeated in the second game in the series, Star Fox 64.

Rare made a an RPG for gamecube, that Nintendo substituted the lead character out for Fox McCloud. This established an entirely different type of game and had very little bearing on the Star Fox formula. Adventures is barely even classed as a spin off as it is merely a re-badging of a completely different game altogether, if anything it presented he possibility for a whole other series that never received a sequel, so never became a series.

If you cannot understand that basic concept then, fair enough, all games with the same character in are all the same series, yes.

@thesilverbrick my definition of the word series, isn't mine, it is the actual definition of the word series. It's not there to be disagreed with, it's just fact. You and the wiki "keyboard warrior" race sadly don't have juristiction over the definitions of words and what your understanding (or lack) of their meanings are.

Not really sure why you're getting upset either? Unless you are just surfing to look for arguments you're not equipped to enter into?

@thesilverbrick that's right, they are not series.

Mario galaxy is its own series. Mario world games are there own series, paper mario is its own series.

Metroid primes is its own series, metroid is its own series.

Pilotwings 64 IS pilotwings 2, Nintendo chose to use the '64' moniker for series titles on that hardware, same as they employed 'super' to titles on the SNES.

Not really sure what you're finding so hard to grasp

@thesilverbrick assault isn't a "star fox" game. Same as Mario Strikers isn't a Mario "game" course it means it's not part of the series.

Part of the same franchise obviously, but a series means an actual sequence and order by its very definition.

Resident Evil 1-7 are "res evil" games, umbrella chronicles is not.

Etc etc etc

Total mistake. On activisions part.

@thesilverbrick

Star fox has only had two main entries in Star Fox and Star Fox 64, all the others were spin offs. After star Fox 2 is released then yeah I'd agree a new one would be Star Fox 4

Pilotwings only had 2 main titles and a handheld version in 3DS which I wasn't including.

Golden Sun..... haven't played it since 2 and had no idea they'd released one in 2010 on the DS. So yeah, would be Golden Sun 4

@ZukutoBen

(Nintendo) Games that need to make a return on Switch:

F-Zero
Metroid - Done
1080 3
Wave Race 3
Luigi's Mansion 3
Golden Sun 3
Star Fox 3
Pilotwings 3

Third Party series that need to return to Nintendo hardware

EA Sports
Call of Duty
Final Fantasy
Castlevania
Street Fighter VI
Soul Calibur
Capcom cross over fighting games

@ZukutoBen Yes I have, and while they aren't bad, 1080 avalanche is a better game and probably the best snowboarding game ever made

@RadioHedgeFund it's ok, but it isn't 1080 which was the best snowboarding game ever made

I hope they still release this. But to be fair, when I saw this for the first time on the PSN store for PS4.....it made me want 1080 3 to be developed for Switch.

@Folkloner you may want to read the article again as it's stated release dates and price drops aren't until June 30th and July 1st, so no, they won't be there today.

Bomberman discounted is very tempting

@electrolite77 I don't need to look anything up. I think you might though, I've not mentioned the Wii U gamepad once.

Went down to game store as they still some allocation spare in store. Got one preordered now. Increased supply from Nintendo? What a load of rubbish. Come on

Sold out in 25 minutes is ridiculous, couldn't pre order as I was driving

Out of stock already

@LUIGITORNADO it is and always was ugly

Wow!!!!!!!!

@electrolite77 what are you talking about?

@electrolite77 neither am I playing down the PS4 to benefit the Switch. I am putting down the PS4 as somebody has owned a PS4 for the Last 3 years and bored of how appalling a console is. I've played playstation for the last 20 years and by a clear mile the PS4 is their worst iteration yet.

By contrast The Switch is Nintendos best yet, and in my opinion it is THE single best piece of gaming hardware yet. The potential for how much it can hangs gaming forever is immense.

@electrolite77 games are games no metter what they are on.

As a piece of hardware, the PS4 bring nothing new to the gaming community, except for a "share" button. The PS4 has stripped away more features from this gen since PS3 than it has brought new features.

PS4 is Sony's worst console yet.

@electrolite77 the PS4 hasn't brought about those games, third party developers have and those games would have been just as good on PS3. Uncharted 4!!! As good as it was Uncharted 2 was the best one and was on much weaker hardware, but a superior format to PS4.

THE biggest innovation of the last 15 years is the Switch. The potential for the explosion in online multiplayer gaming using such high powered mobile hardware has really opened up and changed how we can all approach online gaming.

I was at work last week, had a dinner break; within 1 minute i was online playing somebody in America on Arms. Not a mobile version, the full home HD software.
That is mindblowing.

Once the user base goes up, potentially you can add CoD, Battlefield, Madden and Monster Hunter into that online arena. You've got something industry changingly huge

@SomeWriter13 I'd include playstation with that. Sales figures say otherwise but the PS4 is THE most unremarkable console Sony has ever made. It's brought nothing but shinier graphics and a stripped down version of all the services found on PS3, truely awful machine.

@SomeWriter13 AR is way more advanced, more realistic, has way more applications and nowhere nearly as destructive to your eyes as VR

@PlayedNSlayed I think there's s chance capcom are working on monster hunter for Switch, but it won't be a spin-off game and E3 next year will show Monster Hunter 5 and it will be on Switch.

THE greatest console ever made with THE strongest library of any format ever made. It is the ONLY retro collection I have never sold and is still hooked to me TV even today.

@Damo Zelda Amiibo Breath of wild and twilight princess re-stock released on official website

ALL EA Sports should be cross-platform multiplayer

Mega drive
Saturn
Dreamcast
Downloadable on Switch.
I'd buy in day one

I think dialling back the hardware performance of a video game console so that you can make it fully mobile is probably the biggest and most evolutionary step gaming has taken since we saw Mario 64 running as the first leap from 2D Super Mario World, or the first time you played online using PSN. Making your home console playable anywhere at all gives you ridiculous freedom over how and when you game. Never in history has your gaming been so readily accessible, literally 24 hours a day.

If we don't see this shoot through the roof in terms of success then the market is nonlknger interested in gaming, but rather in marketing/advertising/EA sequels/What Sony tell them to buy.

@daveh30 @Jessica286 damn right. Literally the only EA game I would full price day one buy on Switch. HUT and EASHL account for 90% of my hours in a year. Taking that full mobile would be mind blowing my awesome
