Not a chance. Switch does not even have proper joycons for traditional fighting games, which is a damn shame I cannot play fighting games on the go, and we all know the hardware will simply not handle a next gen street fighter.
If there’s one country that could bring indie games to another level, it’s Japan. I am speaking in general terms, not specifically about the games shown here. But take the shumup “Raging Blasters” for example, they get the music so damn right, it’s fascinating.
Sometimes I just want to play simple games on my switch, but unfortunately the joycon layout makes it very uncomfortable. There’s absolutely no reason for Nintendo to not have released a dpad-only joycon at this point. It boggles my mind that we still don’t have more joycon options. The joycons are freaking attachable pieces, it only makes sense to have more options.
@SortingHat Did you skip the part where I said “willing to pay the asking price”? Some people will pay and some will not. It’s a personal decision made by the consumer. Again: everything else is arbitrary crap.
What a stupid question!!! The value of entertainment is measured by how much it entertains the person willing to pay the asking price. Everything else is arbitrary crap.
I am willing to pay 60 bucks for Silksong if that were the asking price and the same goes for Metroid Dread.
@nessisonett The levels being short and well edited is one of the many reasons why SMB3 is so good. The game gives you a great sense of quality and variety.
I absolutely love old games, but funny enough I tend to agree with the article’s premise. I do believe we entered a golden age of gaming after the Switch’s release, but I still think the 90’s were better. I need a few more games to say that the current era is as good as the 90’s were. One thing is for certain though, I haven’t had this much fun with video games since then.
The day Nintendo really focuses on surpassing SMB3 and/or SMWorld is the day Nintendo will break all the sales records. 2D Mario is a behemoth. It’s the biggest killer app ever in gaming.
Go cry to mama!! Why do people take abusive massages so seriously? Idiots are going to be idiots. As long as threats are not part of the “abusive” massages, people should just not give a shi@&$&@
Zelda 2 is an absolute classic! And I have no nostalgia for this game, since I finished it for the first time around the middle of the last decade. This game has one of the best level systems ever created where grinding will not do much for you and you will have to get better at it by practice. The end result of that is a pitch perfect sense of growth I am yet, to this day, to find in another game. There are many things that could be ironed out in a possible remake, but don’t sleep on this classic. Get past the archaic graphics and embark on this great adventure.
Why does it have to be Roguelike?? The game looks really cool, but I hate to have to play the same ***** over and over. It gets tiring and boring real quick. I sold my copy of Dead Cells because of that.
Mario 3 has much better music than world Better edited levels Better power ups More levels Airships are more intimidating than castles Better difficulty and super tight controls Much better lore (mushroom kingdom is a thousand times more cool than Dinosaur Land) People who say world is better are heretics. Lol.
@MrBelmont Breath of the Wild it is. It combines the open worlds aspects of the original Zelda and the exciting combat of Zelda 2. Now my top 3 are: BotW, LoZ and Zelda 2 respectively.

Are we going to be able to play on hero mode right from the start?? I hope so, because I want to give this game a second chance.

Re: Japanese Charts: Another Perfect Week For Nintendo Sees Super Mario 3D World On Top
When Switch Lite sells almost as much as the original Switch you can safely assume that the OG switch is supply constrained. 100%.
Re: Feature: A Link To The Past's Dark World Changed Zelda Forever
Another classic that deserves a remake. And this game would greatly benefit from a second quest or some kind of hard mode.

Cross save incoming. That is actually good for Capcom and Nintendo.
Re: Octopath Traveler Has Now Sold 2.5 Million Copies Worldwide
If squarenix used this same engine to make a classic style Final Fantasy game, it could easily sell over 5 million copies.

Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Mario Game?
Mario 3 has much better music than world
Better edited levels
Better power ups
More levels
Airships are more intimidating than castles
Better difficulty and super tight controls
Much better lore (mushroom kingdom is a thousand times more cool than Dinosaur Land)
People who say world is better are heretics. Lol.

Re: Miyamoto Says The Success Of The Switch Was All Thanks To The "Good Timing" Of Its Release
Miyamoto is always so full of sh*t. Switch is successful because of Zelda and a stream of quality software subsequently.
