@Nico85 I was amazed and mesmerized but I was a child. Everything left me in a state of wonder even Mechwarrior with my SideWinder 3D Pro. The first MS Flight Simulator blew my mind. But I look at it more objectively now. Look TR2 was incredible like i said I may have been wrong with my first comment. Too quick to view it through my modern lens. Well let me walk it back and say TR2 and Reboot TR were my favourite subjectively...
@Jireland92 okay now you have me thinking about the Shark the Tiger and the Great wall of China. Perhaps I was... and this is hard for me to admit... a little wrong I guess.
@Cashews Ag who cares about the next console it's 2D mario it can run on potato
Do a "remaster" for the new console and price it at $70 just for upscaled resolution. Nintendo should exploit their fanbase properly.
@Anti-Matter South Africa has lower inflation than America. So the $1000 000 bread would be a US reality before it could become a SA reality. America, bigger is better right?
@NintendoWife And Samus was deeper than I could have imagined. A story of inner conflict and overcoming? Nah just make her a generic bad ass that's what the fans want ie Dread.
@Leuke Safe shake-ups. Link still doesn't talk, Zelda is not playable. The risks are there for the taking, but it's understandable that a company doesn't want to risk their biggest franchise on trying to be edgy.
Best Metroid game ever made. I pray that they would bring it to the Switch but I know they abandoned it Die-hards never want a change in formula for a franchise they like, they want to rinse and repeat with better graphics.
@ADV I see, just checked mine so I have a case that keeps all that open and adds height because of the grips so nothing obstructed when it's flat on it's back. I'm sure everyone has a case on their switch or am I in the minority?
I still won't use a third party dock though. I have two btw just won't use them. Only thing I will use is the official dock and a short USB-C female to male cable just to keep the Switch outside the dock while still plugged into the dock to prevent the dock scratching the Switch
@sanderev The switch vent is at the top and it has a fan that pushes the air out. There's no vent at the back only speakers on the original switch. Correct me if i'm wrong
Loooooooooonng boring ad for nothing of a nothingness really. They could've just started shipping this as a replacement for the original and I don't think many would have noticed if it was the same red and blue. It's sort of like a PS and PS slim situation. More the one to get if you don't already have one. Just improved battery life or loading times would have been enough but not even that.
The little I've played reminds me more of Kid Icarus: Uprising. Looks like BOTW feels like Kid Icarus. A Kid Icarus: Uprising HD remaster/Remake would be incredible. Suprised no one has mentioned that Immortals reminds them of Kid Icarus
I know i'm probably the minority here but I really enjoyed Metroid: Other M
The 3rd person + switch to first person was the perfect Metroid mechanic for me, best of both worlds. The way Samus handled was just awesome for me, the slo-mo's etc. People had an issue with the story but I couldn't care less about the story the gameplay was awesome. I hoped I would one day play a new Metroid game with the same type of mechanic but the stupid fans sent a clear message that they want fps or 2d that's it, no combination or iteration on the formula.
So bored of the same old mechanic. Something new, anything new.
Local coop in a meaningful way please. Would be so refreshing if this game looked like it was developed this century.
@KnightsTemplar Sure there will be kids who hate it. And would you believe lots that love it. Just imagine.
My bad if I spoke in absolutes before, as we all know there are no absolutes when it comes to consumer preferences.
My little one loves the game. Any kid that has shown any interest in Minecraft or Minecraft Stories will love it. I must say I like it as well its very simple sure but that's the idea it needs to appeal to kids. It has a charm in the way it sounds the way it feels a charm that is satisfying, the feel of the gameplay itself. Alot of Nintendo games are simple but they have Nintendo charm this has Minecraft charm. For adults the game can be challenging and force you to plan and use technique which makes it scale up well for you to enjoy as well. I think it's great when I can enjoy a game in couch co-op with my little one and we can both have fun. It's sort on content and that's why it's cheap. I will be buying all DLC and I really hope they build on this and make a sequel that is even better. At the very least a 7.5 for me. They could have added a stage where you're captured and escape and have to build your gear and get to the exit of the level. Just to break the same old formula for every stage and to add some building even just a tiny tiny bit. My kid asks me whenever we start a new level "so is there absolutely no building at all?" Seems like low hanging fruit could have made the game a smash hit.
@graysoncharles Aaah i didn't think about a charge only stand. If this thing docked even with a cable only(sold separately) it would be worth the asking price and also it would still be a "Switch". It's a Gameboy now.
I can't believe that no one noticed this. Look at the back of the Switch Lite in the video it has a cutout/notch at the back between the speakers above the Usb-C port. This is the exact same cutout that the original switch dock uses to keep the switch in the right spot for the usb connection of the dock. It's so incredibly strange that it has that cutout but it's not used for dock and the Lite cant be docked. Maybe they designed it with it's own dock in mind and cut the whole idea very late. It makes no sense

@Nico85 I've played the original TR2 being my favourite (loved it). My comment still stands

@Jireland92 Reboot Tomb Raider was the only good Tomb Raider game ever made. Everything before and after it was trash

Announce a new Mario Game. 2D one would be just fine at this stage. I don't know why Nintendo doesn't want all of the monies!

Re: Nintendo Switch Lite Officially Revealed, Launches This September
Remember when Nintendo kept repeating that the Switch is a home console that can also play home console quality games on the go.

@graysoncharles Aaah i didn't think about a charge only stand. If this thing docked even with a cable only(sold separately) it would be worth the asking price and also it would still be a "Switch". It's a Gameboy now.
