Sorry, but the Future one's got to go! Worst ones in the whole series imo. PAST is my choice first, PRESENT would be my second choice.

I like the premise of these games, but they can get really tedious.

I'm really enjoying Bō and enjoying the level of challenge that it provides! I hope they can find a publisher that is able to help out with any and all post-launch needs. Best of luck!

Please stop calling it "AI". It is not intelligent, it is just very fast at searching and compiling. If you tell it to search for something that never existed or make something that is completely original, it will not produce anything. It is a tool, but not intelligence.

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Stay gone!

Soul Reaver and Sould Reaver 2 were great games, imo.

I would love to see them on a Nintendo Console!

I really enjoyed 3 houses, but it was so boring doing all the building BS in the academy that I grew to dislike it about halfway through and then begrudgingly finished it. I have yet to finish Engage, but it is by and far much more "engaging" than the tedium of 3 houses.

@poudigne I doubt it will be less than $24US. But why waste your money or time on this and not just go and get one that can charge up to four(4) Joycons and that works just as well if not better?

@Andee You forgot something...

Nintendo Exec: "Brilliant! We can literally sell hundreds by doing it that way."

@poudigne $21US it literally says that in the second paragraph of this article:

"This new accessory will be arriving in Japan on 17th October 2024 for 3,300 Yen (around $21 USD)..."

@FishyS There are like 5000 different external joy con charging docks for less that this device costs. Most plug into the USB port on the switch dock and charge up to 4 joycons at a time.

Here is a link to an amazon search for this type of device:

https://www.amazon.com/joycon-charging-dock/s?k=joycon+charging+dock

I have had the Hori version for about 5 years and it works great!

@marcelominucelli The Shredder's Revenge game is not really the same as this roguelite. Shredder's Revenge is more akin to Final Fight and other "Beat'em Ups". So, not really the same type of game to compare to.

@Andee I would dare to use the word "horrible" to describe KH and I have a great disdain that Sora was added into Smash Ultimate. Bionic commando would have been a better choice imo. But in reality, I didn't direct the game, nor make any choices about it's roster so I will just have to continue to destroy anyone who plays as Sora when I'm playing.

I'm curious about the human worker in one of those shots, he is just nonchalantly pushing a hover cart and ignoring the impending doom from the multiple space pirates behind him. His confidence is stunning!

@Axecon While the combat isn't as engaging in Xenoblade the whole game is more engaging than KH series.

@garfreek I've attempted, on too many occasions, to enjoy the KH series and it has always been an exercise in futility. They are bland and boring, or they get to that point rapidly. The only one I put notable hours into was 3DS Dream Drop Distance, it was fun and the way to traverse the worlds was cool, but only for a limited number of hours. Then it turned to ash in my mouth and lost all flavor. Kudos to anyone that enjoys the series, but it is just not fun and any character outside of the disney characters, is just ugly, in design, and boring. The DS entry looked like it had promise, but every cutscene (that I endured) was no less than 15 minutes and it was always boring.

Again, I applaud anyone that enjoys this franchise and hope that you continue to enjoy it.

Note: I was enticed to play the KH games because of a great friend and even his die-hard fandom for it died after KH2.

I absolutely loved this game on the SNES!
My friend and I rented it from blockbuster video just on a whim and I saved up and bought it after that. Loved the sequel as well!

@DarthXenos I like the look of that one, but still who in their right mind would think that is a real sword/weapon? As I said before daft!

@Not_Soos it sounds exactly like this:
https://minikatana.com/products/master-sword?_pos=1&_sid=40ca7c47a&_ss=r&variant=40691765379153

A mini replica of the Master Sword, they also have one that looks like the decayed MS from TotK. I have a couple of the AoT swords from this place and unless you are actually daft, they would NEVER be mistaken for an actual threatening weapon. I can hear the arresting officers now, "Ats a Reahl Sord, init? Arrest'im, he's a fret to Sociehtee!" UK officers saving people from themselves.

Anybody else notice that they spelled their own @website incorrectly?

"@Consolevaritions.com" < LOL

@dark_potato - you nailed that one. LMAO

I must be the only person that did NOT enjoy dig at all.
But Heist, that wins it for me and this sequel is exactly what I want to see.

This made my year! I wonder if this will be a dual release like BoTW was, you know on Switch and Switch(2)? Either way, I can't wait!!

Looking forward to this, but that was a slog to watch! No images of the remake, no video, not much substance other than the technical challenges and answers to the question, "Why remake this game?" or "Which game would you want to remaster?"
Not what I want to have to endure if you are talking about a game, show me the game... even if it is gameplay from the old version.

@Poco_Lypso I'm with @Ulysses on this one, how is a female protagonist "woke"? Did you play the Horizon games? Not really all that "woke" imo. Also, the character could have a BA moveset and become a great main for Smash players and potentially bring more weapon variety to characters.

@N8tiveT3ch Not totally untrue in what you said. But since the massive increase in digital only games "purchases", IPs have been able to move from platform to platform since the "purchaser" doesn't actually own anything and the company "selling" the games digitally have very low cost:income ratios, if they know how to monetize properly. This can open the flood gates for lots and lots of cross-over ip usage. In essence the contract you agree to when purchasing a digital agreement is so commonplace now that within the games industry these contracts are almost the same, speaking from limited experience in collaborative game making and working with other game devs to utilize and "showcase" their IPs. It isn't a long process to get approval, unless you are working with Nintendo and that requires blood sacrifices fort-nightly, oathes under blue moons and wearing only sheepskin undergarments for them to consider a collab.

@Glasso Oh, don't I know it! I grew up in the 80's and Mega Man box art was wild af and never even came close to depicting anything contained within the game.

I like the look of most of these, but am in no way intrigued or interested in the "UFO 50" ones. I have an NES, I had one the year after it came out. Last time I checked this is 2024, please stop with the unabashedly boring pixel art "retro" games. Not all retro games are worth emulating. Be original, as a lot of the above titles are, and bring stories to life in this medium, sans low-res pixel stuff. PLEASE!

Anybody else feel like the promo art for games makes them seem so much more awesome than they look in the trailer?

@N8tiveT3ch KH is not fun. Sora seemed more to placate the whiney KH fans. I've attempted to enjoy all of the KH games so far, even the DS/3DS ones and they just fall short of being enjoyable. A movie, or mini series show, would suit the franchise better imo.

Perhaps the original Playstation (pre-actual Sony Playstation) and Nintendo console deal that "fell through" will remind everyone of the low possibility of Aloy being in Smash. Not to say I don't want her in there, because I certainly do. But other than this Lego crossover, they aren't the best of friends, Sony and Nintendo. If they can put aside their past differences, which this Horizon game may be the beginning of, then we could maybe see a better video game future where there are crossover character usages, but doubtful that we will EVER see Mario or his likeness appear in a Playstation game with consent from Nintendo. Just my thoughts on it.

Loved the Horizon Games! My Daughter is a massive fan of Aloy, so this is an instant "get" for me.

This looks great for my little one! She is enamored with Princess Peach right now, but it requires a little too much "micro-muscle skill" for her little hands.

@Oppyz666 Hahahaha, yes, but not entirely. Continue to say "delusional", but the games (ScarVi) weren't given enough time baking in development to be released in a fully functional form on the Switch. Have they gotten "better" due to updates, sure, but not nearly to the point they should be. I have all of the games you listed and each of them has their own picadillos that cause hiccups during gameplay, loading, saving, online play, etc.
You completely missed the point of my post about the possibility of this "prediction" being correct. "Flawlessly", you say, no, not flawlessly at all. I made the statement based on my experiences with the games in question. Not enough dev time to consider them "finished titles".

@Druidsbrook The environments were just bland to me. And nothing seemed very polished and ready for sales.

Ok, so let's just think about this for a second...
Scarlet and Violet Released in 2022 (The console they released on wasn't really powerful enough for what they released, so they have spent 2 years "fixing" them), The Switch came out in March of 2017 and the first actual new Gen Pkmn Games, Sword and Shield , was November of 2019 - 2 years after switch release. Switch2 is due to be announced later this year with a tentative release in early 2025. So, a 2026 Release for the new gen of pkmn games isn't a bad guess(Most Likely November to garner the highest volume of rapid sales during the holiday buying season). We will see interum games prior to the next gen in Legends Z and probably a Scarlet/Violet Updated Edition that runs far better than the current version for Switch1. These are just thoughts of mine based on past releases and not any "insider" knowledge. History repeats itself and the video game industry is not exempt from this.

I don't mind the save game being deleted, that's an interesting idea. The art style is just grating on my eyes. NOPE.

The only way that this Switch focused Direct is going to kill it, for me, is if we actually see MP4 as a holiday release. This would also mean that it could potentially be a dual release, see BoTW dual release, with the Switchºª2. I know this is probably as likely as receiving a nobel peace prize for starting a civil war, but it is what I want to see.

@Croctopus There are multiple ways this could work. In TV mode players could use the joy cons like they do in world of Goo, it Tabletop mode - same. Handheld mode would work with any capacitive stylus, these are very easy to find at almost any store that sells electronics, or they would include one in a physical version akin to Brain Age for the Switch, or if they really want to go nuts in Handheld mode they could use a stylus like the one for Colors Live - doubt they would go that route though. There is even a nintendo branded capacitive stylus https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Touch-Pen-Japan/dp/B07YL4KGWZ/ref=asc_df_B07YL4KGWZ?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80333185695337&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=m&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583932714687469&psc=1

Just wanna drop a little spoiler for everyone...
This will be in tomorrow's Indie Showcase and will be available immediately following the presentation.

This came out on the Vita as rebirth. I would love to see it ported to switch though, great game!

@Chaotic_Neutral That was the first thing I looked at, the price.
I'm glad they realize what they are selling and NOT being delusional about selling a 3-yo game at a $60 price tag... which was too high for it when it originally released. Cool game, just a lot of vacant landscape.

@jump I could not have said it better! To me that is an instant "Hard Pass" on this game.

This sounds absolutely perfect for my 4 year old daughter, which seems to be the target audience for this game. She is looking forward to it.

this looks unenjoyable.

How about the issues where some enemies heavy attacks can knock you through walls, locking you inside of them and requiring your to restart from a previous save.

@Greatluigi Yeah, I had thought of it that way. It just seemed like a bizarre way to start off the story introduction for the teaser of this game.

@Antraxx777 I agree with you on that, but it looks like it could have some real potential... aside from the first sentence about being "attached to one of the seven deadly sins." Kind of a "Wtf does that nonsense mean right now?"

This one looks very interesting, but let's be real... they will most likely not finish the switch version. It just feels like that is what will happen.

So... it looks a lot like Mr. Driller.
