@MrJuancho That’s true, though there will still probably be a lot of people with the Octo Expansion that pick Octoling in the Splatfest (though, as @Shard1 mentioned, they could have just skipped everything).
@BigKing Yes, but in order to play as Octoling, you need to have beaten the very difficult Octo Expansion, so the people who pick Octo have a slight advantage in that regard.
I’m kind of meh on the whole thing (though I’m excited for the upgrade the app will get), but if they add GBA games to the Classic Games Collection, I’d be all over this
@OctoInk20 I find it kind of ironic that you’re calling him arrogant. Also, if someone enjoys something, let them, there’s no point in wishing something to fail unless they have actually done something morally wrong.
I think Dark Samus could be cool, but I’d also like a Metroid character not ending in “Samus,” but I don’t know who (not Ridley). Also, I would rather have an ARMS character in there that’s not Helix (or Spring Man for that matter), maybe Min Min because of her kicks or Misango for his Monado-type ability
Flinthook’s art style is gorgeous, and the Spider-Man-like rope swinging looks interesting, but I’ll probably hold off on it unless it gets a physical release.
With Meat Boy, Axiom Verge, and Furi out and Owlboy and Rivals of Aether on the way, I want to go all out with the indies but the Switch storage size is so puny I have to shell out more money for an SD card because I’m almost out of storage. I love this system, but that storage size is a real problem
@ShadJV I’ve seen those, but most of them seem to be made before any tournaments (some even before launch) and don’t include the new characters, so I just disregard those.
I want the competitive scene to grow, because it’s interesting seeing people master a game and push it to its limits as far as skill. Also I’m dying for a Tier list.
In my opinion, the only time the series dipped in quality was X&Y: the story was bland, yet there was a lot of it, the Megas were broken, the game was painfully easy ( limiting gymleaders to 3 Pokémon is one of the worst decisions in the series), and the villains were the worst in the series. I do think the series picked up after this with Sun and Moon though, because I found myself actually caring about the characters and plot, and the difficulty was largely fixed.
@Nico85 I’ve always thought of him as a half-clone of Spring Man, because of them sharing two abilities (perma-charge under 25%, and creating a shockwave after charging that deflects incoming ARMS).
@Nonno_Umby That’s true, I probably should have thought of that before commenting
Honestly would’ve preferred a unique character, rather than an palette-swap clone that was already a boss character. He’s also the SECOND clone of Spring Man (though Max Brass was more different), and the second boss-turned-playable.
New Ranked mode means everyone’s at C- for that rank, which means at the beginning people of ALL skill levels will be at the same rank in that mode. I’m scared
I honestly think that a straight up boost gameplay Sonic game with no gimmicks (no Classic/Werehog Sonic etc.) would be really helpful for a few reasons: 1) It would let Sonic team focus on one singular style of play, allowing it to be more polished. 2) It would help with Sonic’s identity because you don’t spend half the game in another play style, like the Werehog. 3) It would highlight flaws in the formula that Sonic Team could fix with later entries.
@Drac_Mazoku It’s more about the principle. They’re downgrading a game to 30fps on a console that can handle it at 60 and, like @Snaplocket said, it’s just lazy.
@LUIGITORNADO Haha, you caught me. I wrote it at first, but it didn’t sound right, so I checked, and it said BotW was 30. Point still stands with MO though.

@Not_Soos The theme is “which came first the chicken or the egg?” Pearl is Chicken, Marina is Egg.
Re: Shopkeeping RPG Adventure Moonlighter Will Go Physical On Switch In 2018
Really wanted this game already, and this physical version (not to mention the beautiful box art) is just icing on the cake.
Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty 2018 Could Be Black Ops 4, And It Might Be Headed To Switch
I’m personally not interested, but this will probably be good for the system. Also, the gyro-aiming is tempting.
Re: Flinthook Swings Onto the Switch Digitally and Physically in 2018
The pixel art looks amazing, but I don’t think I’ll be interested enough to pick it up
Re: Feature: The Most Exciting Indie Games Coming to Nintendo Switch In 2018
Hollow Knight, Moonlighter and Owlboy for me. I might consider Shovel Knight, but I own it on 3DS already.
Re: Lola Pop and Misango Face Off in the Latest ARMS Party Crash Event
The one time my main is chosen, I won’t be near my Switch. Just my luck.

Re: Poll: Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?
I want a top-down 2 player co-op Zelda game in the vain of Four Swords. It would be perfect for the Switch, because of the two joycons.
Re: Random: Check Out Tobu Tobu Girl, a New Game Boy Release
I would buy this if it was on Switch for a few bucks. Looks charming, and games that focus on a single mechanic are always interesting.

Re: Review: Sonic Forces (Switch)
I honestly think that a straight up boost gameplay Sonic game with no gimmicks (no Classic/Werehog Sonic etc.) would be really helpful for a few reasons:
1) It would let Sonic team focus on one singular style of play, allowing it to be more polished.
2) It would help with Sonic’s identity because you don’t spend half the game in another play style, like the Werehog.
3) It would highlight flaws in the formula that Sonic Team could fix with later entries.
