He could have spent the time on many good games instead the last 4 years.

Many of the best games can't be included as licensing is hard to get, and also because it's too messy to find the owners.

Kinect sold 35 millions, and is still the #1 add-on sold for any console ever.

Anyway. "Kinect Adventures" by Rare were damn good, fast, responsive and accurate.

@ThomasBW84 Same on Sony and Xbox. Always max 75%. In reality it's up to 90% on them and 98% off on Switch.

Remember BOTW were a Wii U Game from year 2016.

BOTW is 6 years old next year, so BOTW 2 reveal is highly likely.

@HotGoomba Still waiting for the PS4 port which is delayed for 6 years now.
After all, Sony fanboys claimed it were a 1 year limited Wii U exclusive.

@Ravenmaster 4K is still overrated.

1440p is the sweet spot even on most powerful PC today.
How else are you gonna get 320 FPS in games? Sure not in 4K.

Why are Nintendo Life again living below a rock?

There is no such thing as Next-Gen war for Switch.
If a such war existed, Switch would have sold less than Wii U by now.
I find it hard to believe that "Nintendo Life" believe Switch sells because of it's outdated hardware power.

• That Razer Handheld is not much more than a Android phone.
• Steam Deck is not a Switch competitor. It's for hardcore PC gamers who already have 1000's of games on STEAM.
  Means it will sell 10 millions at most.
  Valve expect it to only sell a few millions.

@Pod Yeah. No other system have anything as good kart racer like Mario Kart, No Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid, Bayonetta etc.

@Pod Switch isn't a competitor to anything.
Upcoming Steam Deck won't be a competitor to Switch either.
Way different market. Steam Deck is aimed at hardcore PC gamers who already have up to 1000's of games on Steam.
In fact Valve themselves said they were lucky if it sold only a few millions, or 10 millions at best.

When that's said. Switch is popular among PC gamers.
PC + Switch is a combo for lots of people. You can see them everywhere on Steam forums.

There is also a lot of PC people using Steam forums who ask about Switch versions of games, also to the developers.

@Chrysologus Or better. Buy a cheap Series S console, and get Game Pass. Included there.

I already have this on physical release. "Rare Replay".

@Fiskern They had a break for a few years after their PS3 failure, and then they came back. Later Epic bought them.
Epic wouldn't need their talent if they were dead.
But yes, they were kind of dead for years.

Last thing they did in 2021, were by releasing the overpriced Turrican games part 1.
Probably sold so bad they they delayed part 2 which should have been released already.
80 bucks in total for only 8 Turrican games with no upgrades.

At the same time Capcom released 32 arcade games for only 40 bucks.
Factor 5 really messed up the pricing.

@Pod Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo during GameCube days, but ended up with Rare.
Nintendo is the reason why MS never released a handheld. Like they said like 10 years ago. Nintendo dominated handhelds for 30 years, and almost no one were ever able to compete with them.
Anyways. Microsoft have released only Minecraft on PS4 i think, while they released like 10-15 games on Switch.
MS Games sells quite well on Switch too. Most of them were on top 10.
Switch is basically Microsoft's handheld. lol

Terrible news. Epic is the new EA.
Buying game devs to not do what they are good at anymore. It's the same as shutting down the developers.

Epic already ruined Zen Studios and Factor 5.

@Scollurio Xbox were unable to run Rebel Strike from GameCube due to lack of GPU functions.

Why are they separate releases?

@Scollurio Why did no one ever check how poorly Xbox sold?
GameCube.. ~22 Millions
Xbox.. ~23 millions.

...Nintendo 64. 45 Millions.

Xbox sure weren't a success. Only sold half of N64, and as poor as Gamecube.

@karatekid1612 Probably a licensing mess.
Factor 5, Epic, Disney and Nintendo would need to agree.

Same reason why Goldeneye can't be re-released.

@Pod Okay then. Microsoft games sells great on Switch, so there could be other games they will release on Switch.

Switch got Microsoft games as recent as this year as Switch isn't a competitor to anything.
Xbox HQ and Nintendo HQ in Redmond is only as 10 minute walk between, and could be why MS are close to Nintendo.

@K1LLEGAL Kameo Elements of Power in 4K/60 looks very good. That old 2005 game still doesn't look dated.

I also own all DLC in Horizon games and most DLC for Forza, and VIP for all of them. I have 100% of the games digitally too including the Fast & Furious one. I got 1000G in that one.

Lego Speed Champions DLC is still for sale, but Forza Horizon 3 and DLC is probably delisted.
There is over 10 Forza games now, and probably why they won't have all of them available anymore.

Still sucks that Forza 4 didn't get a 4K/60 upgrade.
Forza 4 on 360 looks amazing even in 2021.
Ace Combat 6 on 360 still looks better than many new games which is weird considering it were released in 2006.

Anyways. Forza Hub will sadly be be discontinued summer 2022. I'm getting 350.000 weekly there.
Playground said the app were too clunky, and is why they don't wanna add Forza Horizon 5.

@El_Syd There is no emulator for backwards on Xbox One.

They have to manually hack every damn game, and it's different for each game.
This is why you have to redownload games again, as disc versions is useless due to lack of game emulation.
Since emulator isn't used on Xbox, Microsoft have to license every game they hack for backwards.
Why do you think they had to add games in bulks? Exactly.

If they used a emulator, 100% of old games would be supported, and they wouldn't need to license anything.

Anyways.
There is 2 emulators that runs commercial Switch games properly on PC, and Nintendo can't prevent it as the emulators is 100% legal and free.

@K1LLEGAL You can still play any Forza game after they are de-listed.
I still own 100% of all delisted Forza games so far.

I actually bought Xbox One because of Rare Replay in 2015.
Bought Xbox One X in 2018, so i could play Rare Replay games in 4K/60.
Of course i also bought like 300 other games during this time.

@K1LLEGAL Forza 4 and older isn't on backwards as licenses is expired.

Forza 4 still look great even today, and they should have upgraded it to 4K/60 like they did on other 360 games.

@KnightsTemplar You can override this on any Xbox console.

Go into gamepad settings on console and swap Y-Axis there. Done. Then it's inverted ingame too.

@Pod You didn't know that Bethesda isn't third party anymore since you thought it's possible with TES 6 on a Nintendo console.

@Silly_G Ever seen VITA and PS4 FW notes?

"System Stability" 1000 times already the last years.
Sony is as vague as Nintendo.

I bought it on GameCube, and then this HD version on Wii U.
Not gonna buy it a third time. And besides. They just port Wii U HD version anyway.

@Pod Nintendo already refused to get Game Pass on Switch.

BTW: You should look up the word "exclusive" in a dictionary to see what it actually means.

Why are this Nintendo news? Elder Scrolls 6 could never run on Switch anyway.

@E_Gadds_Garage No problem. I understand then.
Yeah, it's too similar to the first and is why no one bothered.

On Wii U version you had Miiverse with 1000's of levels posted, Amiibo support to unlock around 130 more in game characters to use on own levels and you could download all event levels to keep forever. Wii U version also came in a box including a Mario Maker book at to compensate for a lower value game priced at 55 bucks or so.
Wii U version also had a online web site where you could browse levels and add them as favourites to play on Wii U later.
There is quite some great features missing on Switch.

As we know, Event levels can't be downloaded to be kept on Switch.
When Wii U MM servers closed in 2021, none of the levels were moved to MM 2. Huge mistake as Wii U had lots of legendary levels that got media attention.
I remember "Slopes" were probably #1 requested feature on Wii U, but Nintendo didn't put it in so they could have a selling point for MM 2 on Switch. Bad move.

Mario Kart 8.. Nintendo removed the replay editor and YouTube support on Switch version.
Wii U version also recorded highlights when you played.

You know of Little Big Planet on Sony consoles.
They shutted down servers for 1 & 2. Millions of levels would be lost...But they weren't after all.
Sony moved all the millions of levels to LB 3 instead. Means all levels from 3 games in one game. Smart move.
LBP 3 even exist on PS3, so nothing were lost for anyone.

Both LBP and Dreams on Sony consoles also have web sites for more comfortable browsing, like Wii U had for MM.

@E_Gadds_Garage What are you talking about? Mario Maker reached it heights on Wii U bigtime.
Wii U version got media attention for a long time.
Loads of random developers also made levels on Wii U, and Nintendo themselves released tons of Event levels for it with new character unlocks etc.

Remember Switch version is only Wii U version with some new additions, and also have some downgrades.

Nothing to hype on Switch at all. It's a been there, done that Wii U game before Switch launched.
There is a saying. "You don't laugh at the same joke twice".

Melissa MCCarthy will play Samus, if scientists can figure out how to get her into the suit.

@m0i Thank you.

@syrupdash I have HD ports of both of these Zelda's on Wii U.
Both is big boxed Collector's Editions with Amiibo's and figurines.

The Legend of Zelda - Wind Waker HD 1080p were released in 2013, 8 years ago.
The Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess HD 1080p were released in early 2016, soon 6 years ago.

Nintendo used to bundle Amiibo's and figurines with their Wii U games.

If people bought Wii U, they wouldn't need to beg for 1080p versions of games up to nearly 10 years later after they released. hehe

@BTB20 Okay then.. Soon 50 millions combined.

Does this number include Wii U version?

Switch got 2 new Mario Party and 2 new Splatoon games, but no new Mario Kart.

Perhaps Mario Kart 9 will be the ultimate one like Mario Party Superstars.

The old game GTA 5 still sells like hot cakes, and is why they never release GTA 6.

@NatiaAdamo Yeah, probably. Especially since development were going fine in 2015.

I hope this isn't Pikmin 4 that were revealed 7 years ago.

I tried it, but it became boring quite fast.
It's not much more than a step counter app.

There is a in game store of course with 100$ items.

@Alfredo18 The reason why i bought it today on release.

I already bought the physical today.

I still had Mario Party 10 on Wii U in backlog...

The only 2 MP games i ever bought.

Pokemon Go were uninstalled after 5 mins years ago.

Pikmin is so much better.

I bought 2 Adaptoids 20 years ago. They even support memcards etc. in emulators.

@mariomaster96 Should be close to release sometime before year 2030.

I said 2 weeks ago that Metroid theme would arrive quickly. Nintendo is so predictable sometimes.

I have 100% of all Tetris 99 themes so far, so i sadly have bore me through 100 points to get this one too.
Tetris 99 is great, but i'm so damn bored of it.

The only way to get 100 points in one run is to became #1 player.

News like this makes even more people pirate the game.

@Piyo Sorry for late reply. I understand what you mean.

@Piyo Thats not correct. I went to eShop right now and Wolfenstein 2 which have 18 year rating shows up for purchase.

The question is. Why are Wolfenstein 2 allowed and not Dying Light? Shouldn't it be the opposite in Germany?

As for advertising for games with 18 year rating.
I get official news mail from Nintendo which sometimes includes games rated for 18 year olds.
It's not like Nintendo ignore these games.
