Personally, I’ll skip any console that doesn’t have BC at this point. Between standardized architectures, emulation, and streaming there’s really no reason not to have BC. If they want to sell to me and my friends, then it absolutely must be backwards compatible for at least the digital library.

I’ve been playing through The Champions’ Ballad this week and thinking “there’s no way Zelda can get better than this.” 😂 Glad to see I was wrong. Can’t wait to finally finish up BotW and jump into TotK in a week or so

Seems a little late to be asking these questions. Unless they’re planning on throwing together some last-minute trailers, I don’t see the value in a survey so close to release.

I like to think I was the deciding factor because I bought XB3 and the Season pass last week. As if there was a metric they wanted to hit and I was the one that pushed them across the finish line. You’re welcome, devs!

Hahahah we really are so fat 🥲. Good on Nintendo for being the change they want to see in the world.

It’s always so hard to predict what Nintendo is going to do. I will say that Nintendos lineup looks terrible to me every year and every year they manage to surprise me with great stuff

Do you get Nintendo gold rewards points when you redeem one of these store credit codes?

Nomura was the character designer for Crisis Core, but WAS NOT a writer. Might want to correct the review?

I personally don’t see myself ever subscribing to Switch Online to play the older games, but I’d certainly buy them piecemeal if they were offered that way. As far as general backward compatibility, like playing Switch games on the Switch 2, I’ve decided that I won’t buy another system that doesn’t have this functionality. If the Switch 2 or whatever comes out and it can’t play my switch games, then I’m done with Nintendo and I’ll spend my money on a Steamdeck instead. I invest way too much money on my game libraries for them not to come forward to the next system.

Thanks! Metroid isn’t really my thing, so I picked up Triangle Strategy instead

Betting on Mario+Rabbids 2, Bayonetta 3, Persona, Nier, a handful of new indies, and something Zelda.

After writing all that I realize it almost sounds boring and I’m always surprised at how good the Directs are. 40 minutes is a lot of time to fill and Nintendo usually has some surprises. So I’m probably wrong on everything but Zelda 😂.

Persona, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Tactics Ogre are my top choices for sure. I’d be happy with any of these.

@Rika_Yoshitake When they originally announced it they said it would cover the entire FF7 timeline including Before Crisis, Crisis Core, FF7, Advent Children, and Dirge of Cerberus. They also said they would release it episodically, So presumably it’s going to be massive.

@Talv Not to give too much away, but Crisis Core was a prequel to the original FF7 that was exclusive to the PSP.

Hoping this means a persistent digital ecosystem. I need to know my digital switch games will be playable on whatever “console” they do next.

@Anti-Matter There’s a white version too!

@frabbit Same here. I was ready for it to be over around the halfway point. I forced myself to see it all the way through, but I wish I’d just played bayonetta or Nier Automata again...

@Crono1973 Also you have to contact Nintendo Support to access your data? Like what??

@DK-Fan Gamecube Wind Waker sold a lot more than 3 million copies, so nah. https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda

@DK-Fan GameCube and Wii U combined total sales were 35m. Wind Waker and HD combined total sales were 7m. 20% of GameCube and Wii U owners bought Wind Waker. Switch has sold 55m units. 20% of 55m is 11m. So 20m switch owners didn’t buy Wind Waker before and a lot would probably double-dip. Assuming ~ the same percentage of people want WW on Switch as wanted the original/Wii u version, 8m isn’t that much of a stretch. I’m with you on 2D Mario, though. 2D Mario all the way

Wind Waker HD needs a switch port. I have to imagine it would sell more like 8M copies at least
