20 docked 80 handheld.

I loved both modes. Handheld is just so good for picking up and playing without being stuck in one place, or when the other half is watching tv.

However I do think docked mode is great for being able to appreciate the beauty of games like BOTW and Odyssey on a big screen.

The great thing is I am able to get more gaming in than I have done for a long time with both modes available. I find myself choosing the Switch over the PS4 and PC a lot of the time because it is so much more accessible and flexible, therefore fitting in with a busy lifestyle.

Crash bandicoot was really brilliant game at the time and having played this on the PS4, I can confirm it is still great. An 8.5 for me if you’re wondering 👍

Unfortunately when up against a certain plumber who revolutionized 3D games, you are up the creek (see what I did there) and will always be remembered as second best. But that is not a slight against Crash; Mario 64 was just that good and no game has ever done what Mario 64 did for 3D let alone future expectations for any game.

However I feel Crash has a special place in anyone’s game collection and really do hope this series gets properly revived with the treatment it deserves!

Mario 64 will always be king, but you can still enjoy Crash as well as Mario ☺️

So the Switch is a pretty dam powerful console.

I have a PS4 and have waited for this version; graphics aren’t a big deal to me, so long as they are decent and servicable. Therefore I am very happy with the amazing job Panic button have done with this superb port!

Now that would be awesome! AC in handheld mode would be so good.

I really like the new relationships and support that Nintendo have with Ubisoft and Bethesda. I honestly didn’t expect this so early on in the Switch’s lifecycle.

Hopefully this plus the continued success of the Switch will be enough for other developers to come aboard the Switch train 🚂

Got to say this game really interests me. I loved Tribes: Ascend by Hi-Rez studios and was gutted they discontinued it. Playing Fortnite a lot at the mo, how does this compare in your opinion guys in the funness factor? I know they are two very different games but really only have time for one shooter atm.

I thoroughly enjoyed the online beta weekend, so this will be a buy for me!

Saw the title and excitely thought we were getting a sequel to Freedom fighters; before reading it correctly 😂

This looks great though!

This is better suited to mobiles. Picking up a game to play 5-10 minutes here and there is something best suited to a phone as you always have it in your pocket.

Played it on my phone and enjoyed it for a few days then it became stale for me.

BUT Bethesda are giving the Switch great suport so I can’t really knock them, especially as this is free to play.

I’m really enjoying it so far.

I think it really is what you make of it. I like playing it stealthily and using the land for cover. I feel if you went in guns blazing and got killed in the first couple of minutes every round it would get boring quickly.

I can understand the hype.

A free game which does microtansactions right.

@JayJ

Cities Skylines would be so good on the Switch!

@Anti-Matter

Sims 4 would be a perfect match for the Switch.

Good news. I agree with Reggie.

The more of a success the Switch becomes, the harder it becomes for 3rd party developers to ignore it.

Although I have a PS4, I really do prefer playing 3rd party games on my Switch. Granted the graphics will never be the same, but I just like the portability. If a game had a similar release window on both platforms I would hold off for the Switch version.

@Sgt-Jack-V

He would be very welcome!

This looks awesomely fun! Good job Devolver.

Great news. Looks really good and I have heard great things. It will be nice to have a multiplayer shooter like this on the Switch.

I really enjoyed the first season. Great animation, voice acting and story.

More is good. Longer/more episodes per season would be welcome.

A shame, I played PES 16 and I really did prefer it so much more than Fifa. I know PES went through a long stint of being sub par to Fifa but they really have come back and reclaimed the top spot. If only they could sort out the licenses.

Nice one.

Now NBA street and the other BIG EA sports games would be very welcome 👍

Looks good. With this and a core game coming next year, Nintendo and Gamefreak are really doing it the right way.

Spot on!

Yes, I believe they will be a runaway success.

I think this is brilliant move by Nintendo. Not only are fans getting their wishes answered with a core Pokémon game; they are also getting another Pokémon experience as well as ANOTHER free Pokémon game.

Well done 👍

This looks really good!

Looks good to me!

@NewAdvent

Yeh agreed, definitely best case scenario. Nobody cansay gamefreak are being lazy, they are bringing 3 new Pokémon games out! That is crazy good support for a system this young.

Looking forward to these games!

I personally see this as GREAT news. Getting a Pokémon game this year (and a free one) AND a core Pokémon game next year is more than anyone asked for and more than anything we have seen on a home console before.

Great news 👍

Yikes! That is crazy. Very welcome news for the Switch and developers on the fence as to whether or not bring games to the Switch.

Played the first on PC and the sequel on ipad. Great games. Definitely a better experience when handheld for me, so it will be perfectly at home on the switch!

@ThanosReXXX

That’s pretty cool. Makes sense about the inards being the same for Nes and Snes.

I like the look of that topic. See you on there!

@ThanosReXXX
Now that is interesting, I never knew that the other mini’s could play N64 games!

Also looking at your earlier comment about your list of 20 games for the N64 mini. I just had a look at all the games I would love on a mini, which don’t include Rare game and the list is really awesome! I think there are actaully too many that I’d want on it to fit onto it! 😄

@gatorboi352

Gotta say I am with you on that one. A new N64 controller is a very very cool prospect.

An N64 mini would be a dream for me! As others have already pointed out, a deal between Microsoft and Nintendo isn’t unthinkable. Even Without the Rare games there are more than enough games for me (though they would be very welcome.)

The graphics do not bother me one bit. As @ThanosReXXX mentioned, they are really not as bad as people think. I actually like the N64 graphics and the nostalgia they bring to me. Gameplay and story are more important to me.

I also think that part of the allure of these mini consoles is the form itself. I would much rather have a miniaturised version of a console than a disc or digital bundle of them.

Yes, it will be harder to make than the other mini’s, but as shown with the other mini consoles there is a huge demand for them. It makes sense to me, considering Nintendo will not be continuing with the virtual console.

@zionich
Darkest Dungeon is great. I agree with the pick up and play aspect, it just works so well with this game. I play 20-30 mins each time.

Enjoy

I am excited for this game. The atmosphere seems spot on.

F-Zero. Yes please.

Sounds like something only Nintendo could do. I am always happy for new takes on their franchises!

Personally I would love Starfox Adventures 2. Unlikely, but one can dream.

Rocket league for me this weekend.

I never used the virtual console so I cannot comment on it. However I feel it would be hasty to judge the service based on the first details. It will improve in time.

Played the first on the PC and the sequel on my iPad. Both very good games, but I definitely prefer the handheld nature for this type of game and the Switch is perfect for this.

I love things like this. Awesome idea and the pictures look great!

Brings back great memories of Final Fight for me. Sound like a winner just for the multiplayer aspect.

Looks great! Can’t wait .

I love the feel of this. Hopefully it hits it’s target!

V excited for this. Looks like it will have a great atmosphere!

@MischiefMaker

Thanks for replying! That sounds awesome. It just looks like such a fun game. I will be purchasing very soon 🙂

It makes massive business sense to Nintendo. And we all want Nintendo to do well.

It is also for great for younger gamers, people who can’t afford a switch and many other people for differering reasons. It isn’t harming the switch; if it was, Nintendo would have stopped producing it.

I like my 3DS and even though I haven’t played it in a while, I still have games like Luigi’s mansion 2 and many others I have yet to play. I will also be playing the remake of the original LM, even though I have played it to death on my gamecube.

Still haven’t played either of the Splatoon games. Want to get the new one. What is the community like? Lots of people online still?

Great to hear 👍

showing up on the Nintendo website and then coming down sounds like Nintendo will do their own announcement or it will show up at E3.

@LexKitteh

Me too!
So so so under appreciated!
Those feels I get thinking about it 🙂

@Ralek85

Your first paragraph is spot on. I agree that as you get older you lose these amazing feelings you had as a kid. Which is a massive shame. Maybe a bit of it is nostalgia, but I rarely if at all get those feeling looking back at games I played in the last 10 years or so.
