This is 2018. Switch Online. Get it together already.
I'm still buying it, but my 2 family members who I play online with will definitely pass without online gameplay. Every time Nintendo releases a multiplayer game without online they loses 2 sales from my family. Every time.
I'm totally looking forward to this game, but I agree with others that it needs an option to switch to retro-style pixel art. Sonic Mania got it right.
Unless they have unlimited access to the majority of Marvel, DC, IDW, Darkhorse and Image comics for a flat low monthly rate, then no... this is not the Netflix of anything.
If Sony made another portable I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. After the way they 100% dropped support for the Vita half way through its life, and relied on 3rd parties to support their system every since, I would not trust them at all with a new handheld. Unlike Nintendo, who supports their products until the dying end, Sony will completely abandon their own products the moment they fail to meet profit predictions, regardless of how it affects their customers. Screw that. Sony would have to show me years and years of dedicated AAA support for a handheld before I would even acknowledge another portable system from them.
@JaxonH Yeah thanks for the feedback. I actually pre-ordered Generations Ultimate, it's been siting on my Switch desktop for over a month. I started playing it already, just finished my first hunt this week. It's definitely a step backwards for me compared to World, but I'm gonna give it a fair shot and put as much time as I can into it. I am pretty stoked to have an HD portable version of MH.
I've put in 500 hours so far into World, and counting. It's the best game I've ever played.
I've tried several previous MH games, but World is the first one that really clicked with me. Even so, it took me 250 hours into the game before I truly grasped how to play it and all it's many features. I wouldn't call that hand-holding, even if it is easier to understand than past entries. It's definitely a commitment, but the payoff is so satisfying, there's nothing else like it.
I honestly believe it's worth buying a One X (or whatever console you prefer) just to play World. It's that good.
It’s gonna be hard to get into this game after World. Especially considering I’m a master bowsman in World, while the bow and arrow controls in Generations are a massive pre-historic step backwards. I pre-ordered the game anyways; looking forward to Monster Hunter on Switch; I just don’t expect it to be anywhere near as amazing as World.
This is as good as it gets for Night Trap. A true deluxe edition. If you were ever a fan of this super cheesy Sega CD game, it's definitely worth picking up for the Switch. It's worth it just for the documentaries, they're great. I'm actually going to try to beat this game for the first time ever. It's so bad it's good.
Damnit they don't already have someone working on this? What kind of a multi-billion dollar company is this? I was really hoping they'd roll out a new UI with paid online. At this rate it's gonna be 10 years before we get FOLDERS!!! I swear I'm going to throw my Switch in the trash if we don't get folders soon. Not really... but come one!
What's the point if these articles if they're not accurate? We're better off just going to the eshop. Maybe you guys should stop relying solely on the official press release and actually look at the eshop listings before publishing these articles. Every week you list stuff that's not out until next week, or already came out the week before. Useless.
There's so many of these smaller arcade cabinets being released all of a sudden - I absolutely love it! Tiny Arcade, MyArcade, New Wave Toys, Arcade1Up, NeoGeo, and now Numskull are all making various mini arcade machines. I'm particularly excited about Arcade1Up's forthcoming 3/4 scales cabinets, those look so dope.
It's only a matter of time before the Switch gets a true arcade cabinet that you can slide the screen into, with actual joysticks and Bluetooth connectivity - al la iPad with iCade. I'll be all over that when it releases.
@Djgoa it's not offensive, it's just dumb. A cheap marketing ploy to draw in pre-pubescent teens. The game would be better off without it - more serious. Has nothing to due with being a prude.
As a Neo Geo and fighting game fan I'm definitely looking forward to this. I like the gender bender Terry! Although I could do without the busting boobs and sexualization of the characters. Don't see how this aethesthic appeals to anyone other than immature teenage boys.
Thank you for reporting this. The gaming community needs to put pressure on Nintendo to change their policies and not support slave labor. This is a good start.

SNK Heroines and Broforce.
Two awesome games that were released this week, yet were not included in the poll. Instead you include games that came out last year.

Far Cry. Bring it.

@adam9431 Samurai Shodown for sure. The first 2 games in that series are the best.

Re: Sony Interactive Entertainment Asia President Says Switch Has Had A "Positive Influence" On Games Market
@EightBitMan The Vita hardware was NOT solid. Those stupid touch screen buttons on the back. And no L3 and R3 buttons. Please..
I owned 2 Vitas over the years, both the original OLED and the newer version... they both sucked.

Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Is Really Happening, Thanks To The Team Behind The Wonder Boy Reboot
Hell yeah!!!!!! So excited about this. Hopefully they give us a pixel-graphics mode with old skool graphics a la Sonic Mania.
Re: Review: Night Trap - 25th Anniversary Edition (Switch eShop)
This game makes me want some of the other Sega CD "classics" ported over to Switch with HD treatment.
Ground Zero Texas, Sewer Shark, Tomcat Alley, Prize Fighter, and Road Avenger would all be dope.

Re: Review: Prehistoric Isle 2 (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
This is a surprisingly good shmup. The mix of shooter-action and dinosaurs is awesome. Never played this one before now, but I love it.
Deserves a much higher score IMO.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Feature 103 Unique Stages
Bummer that PAC-MAZE (from 3DS) was cut. That was one of my favorite stages and was hoping it would be included.

Re: Mario Tennis Aces Version 1.2.0 Adds The Much-Wanted Mission Retry Feature And More
Swing mode online or gtfo.
Can't believe this isn't an option. The only game in the history of games where motion controls truly make sense, and yet it's not an option. So dumb.

Re: Hori's D-Pad Joy-Con Controllers Are Eating Up That Precious Switch Battery Life
Better off just buying a modded joycon with a dpad off of eBay. That's what I did. Works great and still has gyro.
Re: Sonic Mania Plus Becomes The Highest-Rated Sonic Game In 25 Years
Good, hopefully this encourages them to drop all other attempts at Sonic and only focus on neo-retro incarnations like Sonic Mania from now on.
Same goes for Streets of Rage, they need to make part 4 but do it old school retro style just like the original Trilogy.
