Good times!

I remember back then that I didn't even want an N64. I had been seeing magazine articles of Final Fantasy VII and it was making me really want a Playstation. Everywhere I looked, there was some article on FFVII. I then started saving up my money and telling my cousins that I was gonna get a Playstation, but they kept telling me "Nah, get an Nintendo 64. They're better."

The day finally came that I was gonna put a Playstation in layaway, but as it turned out, Walmart Super Center that I went to was sold out. The lady working in the electronics department was nice enough to call over to the other Walmart Super Center across town, but they were sold out, too, so instead of waiting, I decided to put an N64 in layaway.

I got it out about 3 months later along with the only game that I was able to buy to go with it: WCW/NWO World Tour. I did end up getting other games, but I was still jealous of people who were able to get a PSX and play FFVII.

Then I started seeing a lot of articles on the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The hype surrounding that game, in my eyes, was similar to that for FFVII, but I remembered playing one of the older Zelda games on NES and how I didn't like it. The controls just seemed too slow for me.

I ended up pre-ordering Ocarina of Time at BestBuy, but only so that I could tell people "Yeah, I have that game." in case anyone asked. At that time, I still would've rather been playing FFVII, so when the day came for me to go get my copy of Ocarina from the store, I brought it home and just placed it on top of my TV for at least 2 whole weeks while I played my other games like Diddy Kong Racing & WCW/NWO Revenge.

It wasn't until after beating - finally - DKR and getting bored of my other games that I finally decided to put Ocarina of Time in and give it a shot. Unfortunately for all my other games, Ocarina of Time ruled my N64 from then on. I mean it literally vary rarely came back out of that cartridge slot.

You know, every time I see these sales charts I can't help but feel sorry for Xbox... such a powerful console still trailing behind Nintendo's 2DS in sales lol

Of all the names on this list, I've only heard of GaoGaiGar, Getter Robo, Gunbuster, Votoms, Aura Battler Dunbine, G Gundam, GunXSword, Expelled from Paradise, Cowboy Bebop, Capt Harlock, & Magic Knight Rayearth. However, I've only seen G Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, & the CG animated Capt Harlock movie, so it strikes me as kind of a weird decision to put Cowboy Bebop and Capt Harlock into a game full of giant robots.

@MeloMan Masahiro Sakurai just Thanos-ed everyone except Kirby which kinda makes sense if you believe the fine folks over at ScrewAttack.

Whether Dreamcast or Naomi, we should at least be getting Crazy Taxi. Whatever they go with, if we get Shenmue on Switch, I'll be a happy gamer.

If it's not Sumotori Dreams, then I don't want it.

@Quarth RE4 is one of the best games that I ever played. Of all the GameCube games that I ever had, RE4 is the one that I held on to the longest.

I'm just curious as to how big the save file is gonna be. If a silly basketball game's save file size is 5GB, then the size of a save file for an open world space combat game must be outta this world lol

@darkswabber don't forget Jazz Jackrabbit

@Shiryu lol yup!

@Shiryu Everspace seems awesome! I'd love to play that and Rebel Galaxy Outlaw when they both come to Switch.

Also, when I get a Switch...

Good article.

Didn't they just recently announce a new Batman game? Will it be cancelled, too?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

@Mach_Rider I loved the NES TMNT game & the Simpsons Hit & Run!

@KingMike I remember Wild Cowboys!

Of course I care about Starlink and Daemon X Machina, but of all the new announcements, Luigi's Mansion 3 is the only one that I'm hyped for. I don't care for Final Fantasy or Animal Crossing. I was actually hoping Nintendo would show more about Metroid Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3. Maybe they'll show at TGS, but I doubt it.

As somebody who's never played a Doom nor a Smash, I still think that'd be pretty awesome. I'm also wondering, with Nintendo and Microsoft being all friendly where cross-play and Minecraft are concerned, I wonder if Microsoft would be open to trying to get Master Chief into Smash.

@Captain_Toad What beat-em-up's did Konami do?

I thought it was pretty good, over all. I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy. I tried FFVII and FFX and just didn't like them, but since is an Action RPG instead of being turn-based, I might be inclined to try that out. The rest of the FF games don't interest me in the least. I did lol pretty good at the end, though.

I thought it was darn funny when they started showing Isabelle and was like "ah, they're gonna do it. Animal Crossing for Switch." Then all of a sudden, Isabelle gets a letter and throws the mail at the screen and says "They wan't me for Smash!" then they started showing gameplay of her in Smash Bros. Ultimate! I was like "lmao, Nintendo just swerved everybody!" lol. Then they showed the actual announcement for Animal Crossing 2019.

I've never played any Animal Crossing game, but I was happy to see that Nintendo did actually announce it for 2019 for those that are fans of it.

I think the only full Ubisoft games that I've played are Rayman Legends, ACIII, & ACIV on Wii U. Before that, I only played demos of Assassin's Creed on 360 and ZombiU. I really enjoyed them all, but ACIV is my favorite.

@ThatNyteDaez I read that this app also features comics made in the UK, so it might be there.

@Not_Soos I believe it was called Tubi TV

@Mordridakon I think the same thing every time I see a picture of their building. It doesn't look anything like you'd expect from the company that created Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Metroid.

Looks cool, but this might be the better way to go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxJ0juxJ_Fg

@Sakura I could be wrong, but it seems like I read somewhere that you don't actually need the toys. You can unlock the ships in-game.

I had been enjoying Breath of the Wild on my Wii U up until the point that the game just stopped working. No scratches or smudges... just quit working.

I haven't got to play either of the Splatoon games, yet, but I'd really like to.

It's pretty funny reading through the comments on Nintendo sites since the launch of the Switch. During the Wii U days everyone complained about all the droughts. Now people are complaining about there being too many games lol

@ReaderRagfish a lot of classic anime shows have this art style.

I have Grandia 2 on DC. I still have yet to finish it.

I've not played any Starcraft games. They just don't hold any interest for me, but doesn't the Switch already have support for keyboards? If so, what's stopping Hori or some other 3rd party from making a mouse accessory for the Switch?

So many M rated games coming to the Switch. Nintendo's getting bloody this generation!

I loved Forsaken and Descent! I'll definitely be getting this when I get a Switch.

@Bizzyb Alright. Thanks for the info.

My avatar is a gif I made from the first trailer for Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes.

@Bizzyb Thanks for the reply. That kinda sucks, but it's nothing new. I don't know how much that'll impact my wallet since I don't have a Switch, yet. I do have a Wii U, but I've only ever downloaded demos on it with the exception of Super Mario Bros, so I never needed an SD card for it.

@Nincompoop I haven't played it yet, but from the "Let's Play" videos I've seen I believe Paladins is more like a poor man's Splatoon 2 and Overwatch.

Do the SD cards have to be formatted to work with the Switch?

I know Zoids was based on a line of toys, but it still turned out to be a pretty good anime so this Ingress anime has a chance to be alright, too. Then again, people do love giant robots, no matter the media.

@ilikeike I heard that Square has set aside an in-house team - or something like that - for doing Switch games, so I doubt they would outsource their stuff to any other 3rd party developer.

@Ralizah can't you just imagine if you could do that, though? I wonder how much money Id Software would have right now if they could sue everyone that made an FPS game after Id created the FPS genre.

@mgnoodle It would be pretty cool if Microsoft would at least allow Banjo-Kazooie to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

This! This is great writing! Good job @Damo

@brunojenso For me, personally, on-ear and around-ear headphones are much more comfortable than ear-buds.

This game looks awesome! Every time I watch this trailer, I see a side-scrolling Deadpool, just... you know... without Deadpool lol

@Inkling Yup. Wii U only got 1 Fifa, 1 Madden, and 1 NBA.

@Monkeyofthefunk I'd like to see that and Sea of Solitude.
