For it to be scrapped and replaced by something actually cool... I keed, I keed! It will most likely sell a ton if they manufacture enough to go around.
Pikmin 4 was like a fever dream. I steamrolled it in like 10 or 11 days. I haven't been hooked that hard since Mario Odyssey, which I 100%ed in i think two weeks.
We have the Nam 1975-style scaler scroller from Konami at our local arcade. It's pretty fun!
Highly unlikely but it would rule if they threw in a couple shooter levels to spice things up. GIJoe is all about dem badass guns and vehicles, after all.
So you're saying there are people out there getting paid like 2-3x more than me to sit in a cubicle playing Switch all day, just because they could afford to go to college. What a bunch of crap!!
I initially read the fresh, new proplay thing as "we used the actual players for motion capture" and I was like, Zen Nippon Puroresu Featuring Virtua on Sega Saturn says hello!
I have a Sharp Twin Famicom Turbo and a few gems. It's pretty rad: Battletoads (with easier difficulty) Crisis Force Duck Tales 2 Gun Nac Turtles Manhattan Project Yume Penguin Monogatari
It's a big, important weekend I guess! The two most influential parts of my childhood--the Famicom and Metallica Kill Em All--turn 40, and I'm laying drums down for a record. It's all coming together...
I largely ignored the series until I got hooked by the XI S demo. The cutscenes are the best looking graphics I've seen the Switch pull off! It's awesome that Mario RPG is getting the same treatment.
Anyway, I played through the full game, but stopped short of all the post-game stuff. It was essentially a 300-floppy-disk-deep 1980s computer text and menu navigation adventure when you strip away the awesome visuals.
It was badass, but 80 hours at that point was enough for me. Stoked for XII!

Re: Memory Pak: Making Contact With The "Ungoogleable" Game I Couldn't Quite Remember
Mostly old educational PC stuff from elementary school computer class in the 90s, but I'm pretty sure I remember all of it.
Spelunx
Odell Down Under
Kid Pix
The 'Munchers' series
The 'Super Solvers' series
The 'Trail' series
But the MECC educational giant floppy disk jams for green screen Apple ii, those I would have to dig around a bit to come up with a title.
Oh dang, I just remembered Glider! Now that's a tasty jam.

Even if it doesn't get there, the Switch still did pretty well without being an EA Sports / porn DVD machine.
