I think it's a generation thing.
Kids today have no idea what art is, aside from AI generated art.

For us older folks who appreciate art, it's amazing that a person made all this themself and not some soulless bot.

As long as the 'Switch 2' can play anything around 60 fps and not under, I won't complain.

For a moment I initially thought it was Nintendo themselves who jailed this fan.

Not only did Nintendo thought this wasn't possible, but also expect their DMCA ninjas to appear to purge this abomination!

It's like calling 'Fortnite' retro.

The word 'Retro' has lost all meaning in the gaming culture.
It was originally meant for something nostalgic that came out 20 or 30 years ago.
The Gamecube fits this title, but Shovel Knight does not.
In another 10 years he will finally earn that title.

To no surprise of anyone.
Any contest involving art or writing in 2024 will most likely be AI generated. Tis a shame.

I've never played the original Dragon Quest games even though I grew up during that era. Pokemon was just more fun for me and therefore any opinions I have are biased.

Recently I tried playing through the first three, but couldn't play for long because of the dated visuals.
These HD remakes makes the gameplay look much more bearable and engaging, I might try these games again.

It's so tempting, but I'll probably get this as a collectors item rather than play it.

I'm thinking Nintendo is not just protecting their IP anymore.
They're on a power trip and they know no one and nothing will stop them.

Wouldn't be surprised if they targeted Lego fan models next.

Yay! Now I can play all the shovelware games onto the Switch 2!

It's weird waiting years for an indie game to get a physical release, but it pays off when it actually happens.

It's unlikely but I'm still waiting for physical copies of 'Everhood' and 'Steve Jackson's Sorcery' which I hope will release sometime before the end of the Switch's lifetime.

Another tip: Don't buy Pokemon cards from people who used to be 'bank robbers'. I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!

Just as I thought would happen. But since there's hardly any big game forecast for their current console this year, it's possible their trying to build up hype for their next successor, which shouldn't be hard.

Finally! This is exciting news.

Bring on the leaks!

@CodyDogg Sorry, I have no idea. I would say contact their customer support but even my questions have gone ignored.

@HandheldHaunter Only First Press Games would do that.

Nintendo is definitely going to win the hearts of the public by issuing out DMCA to a decades old sandbox game that can still run on my Windows 7 laptop.

We can't even use Nintendo's characters which we can simply port into the game of own will? What's next, banning GIFs?

This type of draconian activity will only leave a bad taste in people's mouths who are not familiar with the greatness of our lord and savior, Nintendo, and will only encourage people to continue pirating their stuff. Color me shocked.

Limited Run Games has gotten a little better (although still debatable) as they've started posting an estimated ship date.

The only place to stay away from is 'First Press Games'.
You'll wait years before you receive your order.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Only a 3 year lifespan?
Even Netflix on the 3DS lasted much longer than this!

The Pokemon company is really sending the message that they don't care about the fans or the community, only their IP, and it'll only hurt them more.

I for one enjoy Pokemon rom hacks, as I grew up in the GBA era, and some of them are even better than the main releases for the Switch.

Banning "community forums" isn't going to change my mind or respect them any more.

When Peter Jackson was making 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, there was similar opinion due to his previous film history (Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners).
People assumed it would bomb, but it did not and happened to be one of the best films ever made.

I don't know much about this no name director, but when it all comes down to it we'll just have to wait and see.

Sure, and in the next few years after the Switch 2 is released and the old one is discontinued, these same people will start saying that the original Switch is now "retro".

Good thing most of us got the physical game when it came out. Another point why physical media is important!

I'm good with the delay. This way there'll be more time for devs to make new games for the next console.

Meanwhile.. bring on the leaks!

Planned obsolescence marches on!

I've never seen so many Xbox articles on a Nintendo fansite.

It's like the editors are trying to send someone a message.

2024's theme is basically lay-offs and the rise of AI.

Could there be a connection?! Hmm...

A mob the same, if not worse than Witches?

Just great!

Does this mean we'll get a 'Souls-like' Octopath spinoff?

Announcing a "Switch 2" early this year would hurt the Switch's future sales. I'm willing to bet $20 the next cosole will be announced in the Fall and will drop sometime December 2024. with chances it'll leak in the Summer.

In the meantime, Nintendo is going to milk the original Switch for all it's worth this year.

Shining Soul I & II and LOTR: Return of the King were my favorite Diablo-like games growing up, although I highly doubt they'll be added.

I want to believe.

Oh wow! Bug fixes and long waited updates planned for 2024? This is the best (late) present ever!

/s

Just finished the survey, but I noticed something rather humorous.

There was no mention of any 'Pokemon Mystery Dungeon' when listing their games. Hmm..

A big fan of Explorers of Time, perhaps a remake would be cool.

Delayed to spring 2024, I wonder why?

Switch 2 confirmed!

The 'Game Awards' is a crappy replacement for E3 if it means cutting off game devs and directors from their speaking time during their awards.

Whoever hosts these types of shows don't care about game Devs or even the games itself, except only the advertising and money it makes them. The whole thing's a scam.

While Lego has featured weapons in the past, such as blasters, rifles, revolvers (etc), this is the first time I've seen them promote an actual shooter game.

Lego used to have a policy of no depiction of real life guns or military sets, except when they can silently monetize it.

If anything like the Mario movie, the Zelda film could be a mash-up of references to past games, memes, and Americanized humor.

Basically, there would be no plot, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ganondorf started singing to Zelda near the end.

@PtM No, just tired of the Hollywood formula.

Never would have imaged that the fanboys of Nintendo in this chat would be so toxic towards the Zelda voice actress. Wasn't the Zelda franchise the most highly acclaimed game of the year?

While you say it's your 'opinion', it really sounds like you're all misogynist manchildren screaming of immaturity.

Let people do what they want without prejudice. I highly doubt she will be in the film and only replaced with another generic American celebrity.

This reminds me of the 3DS support for Netflix, back in the day.

@Fangleman32 Just a saying. I'm sure there's talent in that genre, but I could never get into that kind of music.

But if I was stuck on an island, it'll be better than Country.

Just like they always say:
Music is like candy, you throw away the rappers.

Everything's stable except navigating through the EShop.
