Syndrome

@Captain_Toad Yes, the story is a bit of a letdown compared to the previous games(especially the villains) but the gameplay is better than ever.

The coolest video game news i've read for quite some time now!

I myself don't like this decision although it's completely understandable from a bussiness point of view. SE saw the the big profit that can come from the Switch's huge user base and decided to port games that otherwise wouldn't be possible, like GOTG and KH3(maybe?) and went with cloud version and didn't bother wasting resourses on actually developing a port. Minimum effort for the maximum profit. The only way that this can be mitigated is by people voting with their wallets aka not bying. But we all know that it won't happen

P.S. If this and GOTG sell well don't be surprised if you see announcements similar to this one for games like Tomb Raider or FFXV in the future

Don't like it. Doesn't feel like Metroid in the slightest. But as said above if it helps sales in Japan then so be it.

And it's been 2 and a half years since it was REALLY announced😉

Mass Effect. The remastered trilogy coming out in a few months was a huge oportunity. Maybe with the (rumored) revisioned hardware?

You know it's not a TRUE port whishlist if you don't have Persona 5 and Nier Automata in it

This game is NOT coming out in 2020. Some people really need to start tempering their expectations.

Does this mean that console launch has aligned with pc launch? Nice

@DanTee @dewokkel I'm a complete idiot. I thought the title said Metroid Prime 4. Disregard my previous comment.

I don't care what 2K or everybody else SAY. I care for what the DO.

DQ Builders 2 on Switch and Overwatch on pc.

A minor query. Why 8 games? Which one is the eighth? Unless you consider X2's expansion a game.

Some of them, like the classic marine suit, are nice. That unicorn nonsense though....No, thanks.

@Toy_Link Exactly. Most ppl vote based on their preferences and what's trending(Fortnite, Smash) rather than reasoning.

Daemon X Machina and Dragon Quest Builders 2

And this game will launch on mobile devices? Impressive.

That's one big addition. Like Smash level big. Kudos.

This is literally like Ultraman, which i'm so excited about. And i hope i'm wrong but i do have my doubts of it releasing on Switch though...

@raven89 I know. I'm just pointing out why CDP has that kind of market value. It's not just because of Witcher.

CD Projekt also owns GOG. It's not just the 7 games they made.

@mesome713 The fact that they restarted the production of MP4 doesn't negate the point i'm trying to make. They handled with class what was already a bad situation which they created themselves by being greedy in the first place.

@mesome713 Maybe Nintendo got greedy and pushed for the announcment at the Game Awards to keep up the momentum from E3. They also got greedy with other titles like MP4 and let's not even talk about Pikmin 4.

Daemon X Machina and Super Metroid on SNES Online.

Some people really need to seek professional help. Asap.

Isn't Platinum also making Babylon's Fall? Maybe it's some news on that one. It doesn't mean the announcement is necessarily related to Switch.

Daemon X Machina(Switch). Truly underrated game especially for mecha fans. Also some random arcade matches in Overwatch(pc).

@impurekind That would be cool. I don't know how many Nintendo fans would actually buy it but i'm pretty sure a lot of Transformers collectors would.

DQ Builders 2 on Switch and a few matches here and there in Overwatch on pc this weekend.

Telling fanboys to "move on" is like asking the sun to set in the east.....

They probably wanna optimize Frostbite for more future FIFA half-arsed releases.

@MrMetroid While your statement might be true that wasn't my point though.

@YozenFroghurt Ask Sony fans the same question about 3d party exclusives like Bloodborne and Persona 5. I believe you'll arrive at the same conclusion.

@Nintyfan HZD is not 4y old(barely 3) and hasn't gone multiplatform yet. There's only a rumour looming around for a pc port. Just to clarify a couple of things.

@vyseofhr What you described are console fanboys in a nutshell. You'd be surprised.

While i'd be happy for more ppl to experience their great games i don't see Nintendo letting off IPs such as Bayonetta and Astral Chain. W101 was a "unique" case as Platinum themselves stated.

@westman98 I both agree and disagree. They are big names by themselves but nowhere near as huge as the "big 3" of Nintendo IPs(Mario, Zelda,Pokemon)

@Dang69 Just a couple of months ago Retro hired their lead character designer and a few days ago their lead external enviroment artist. They also still have job listings open for major spots in the dev team like lead graphics engineer, lead technical engineer and lead animator among others. This indicates that the game is way too early into developent cycle, probably into conceptual phase. Even if all these people were hired today it would still need 2-3 years for such a game to be developed and tested properly. So yeah, i don't think people in general understand how far away is the day when we see MP4 in retail.
I don't claim to be an expert in these matters btw. It's just my opinion which i've formed after puting the little pieces of info together. I might be wrong. But i highly doubt it.

Metroid Prime 4 isn't coming anytime soon(as in like 2-3 years from now) no matter how many times you put it's name in these types of articles for clickbait purposes.

Personally i don't care about portability. I use my Switch as a home console(with a few rare exceptions) and i only play games that were meant to be played on it with optimal performance. And i'm perfectly happy with that. It's what i bought it for. Every AAA third party title is played on my pc as i believe that these games shouldn't be played in handheld. You're loosing too much of the experience they offer. As is the case with many Nintendo games(i.e. BOTW, Astral Chain etc). My stance on portability is this: just because it exists as an option it doesn't mean it's worth it in every single case.
Just my 2 cents.

@BenAV The Turing Test is also a great game imo.

You're asking for P5 which i believe at this point has been all but confirmed that it's never coming to the console. So yes, you are begging.

@Nomad Actually, they've already done it twice with Metroid games too. First with Zero Mission and then with Samus Returns.

Tbh if you add Third Strike in the mix there are quite a few wierd ass characters that could fit in MK(Necros, Twelve, Q). But if there was ever a crossover i highly doubt they would go for c-tier fighters instead of the more recognizable ones. But the real problem as others have mentioned are the fatalities. Capcom wouldn't want their characters being ripped apart and humiliated in every possible way. This is the same reason why we'll also never see a Nintendo character in MK.

@YozenFroghurt No. The Hearthstone player introduced it by using one of their platforms. Blizzard responded. They didn't provoke anyone out of nowhere. And this is the final time i speak of this in this site. Let's focus on games.

Plz, leave China and Hong Kong out of this. This is a gaming site where ppl should discuss about games. There are other platforms and ways to make your political statements if you wish to do so.
Thank you and have a nice day

@TheAwesomeBowser I'm willing to bet that won't be the case. As cool as it looks the game feels more like an expansion to OW1 than a true sequel. It runs on the same engine and most of the assets(heroes, maps, skins etc) will be transferred from the first game. So i hope it's not that far down the road.

@Toshiro_Baloney Have you even played a Halo game? The lansdscapes and vistas in these games are some of the most memorable i've seen in video games over the years. The major difference between the two is that Metroid has a bit more color(which is understandable since it's a Nintendo franchise). Even some of the enemies like the grunts and jackals have similar design aethsetics with the space pirates f.e.

@Jim_Purcell It runs at 1080p, stable 30fps on very high settings on my gtx 970 and 5 year old AMD proccessor. Plus, as you mentioned, it's UE4. I'm pretty sure with a bit of twinkling here and there it will run just fine on the Switch. It's also very bug-free and well optimized.
All in all a very solid 3d party port and an excellent addition to the sytem's ever growing library.

@Ragdoll72 Ok, that makes sense.
