If Konami had any sense they'd have announced Castlevania Collection II with the GBA and DS hames in the wake of this debacle, but that, of course, would make far too much sense/money.
The most glaring issue was still nothing new about the Nintendo Switch Online service--announce that SNES games were simply coming by the end of the year, and it's a different story.
From a personal perspective, the top game announcement was Ni No Kuni which was already known a day prior. Only The Witcher and The Sinking City excited me from third parties.
@KoopaTrooper arguing that SMT has more choices? Huh?
The mainline SMT series is Persona stripped off practically anything outside the battle system. There's a reason why the Persona series massively outsells Strange Journey & SMTIV and has it's own spin-off games, anime, merchandise, etc.
What is true, just, and beautiful is not determined by popular vote. The masses everywhere are ignorant, short-sighted, motivated by envy, and easy to fool. Democratic politicians must appeal to these masses in order to be elected. Whoever is the best demagogue will win. Almost by necessity, then, democracy will lead to the perversion of truth, justice and beauty.

A brilliant game. The best Zelda clone out there.
Re: Video: 13 Fantastic New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In August
I didn't realize that they were porting the first Pillars too. Sorely tempting, but damn is that big for an isometric RPG!
Re: Journey To The Outer Worlds When Obsidian's Space RPG Lands On Switch
A fairly major studio who actually wants to make money--what a refreshing dose of common sense!
Re: Battle Brexit On Switch With Not Tonight: Take Back Control Edition
A bit like Monkey Island crossed with Papers, Please--a shame that it's utterly absurd in tone.
I wonder what a video game consulted upon by Sir Roger Scruton would look like...
Re: Nihon Falcom Lacks The Ability To Release More Games On Switch, Says President
Talk about incompetence!
You'd think that a company who loved the Vita like they did would appreciate the crazy software attach rate that the Switch similarly has.

Wholly reasonable size. Just waiting for them to make it pre-purchase eligible still!

Re: Random: The Nintendo Wii Simply Refuses To Die
I bought Wario Land: Shake It yesterday actually. It’s still a console with some great games.

@Deltath not available for pre-purchase yet

I’m waiting to redeem one of my Switch vouchers for it.
Re: Limited Run Games Releasing Dragon's Lair Trilogy Collector's Edition
Dragon's Lair has had more ports/remasters than I've had hot dinners
Re: WWE 2K Dev Not Happy With Recent Games, Will Create New Wrestling IP To Re-Energise Staff
An NJPW game on Switch would be fantastic

Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Dev NetherRealm Studios Responds To Toxic Workplace Accusations
I'd dread working as video game designer. It would suck all joy for gaming out of me. Kudos to those who do so!

Brace for Switch tax!
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For May And June
Is Youngblood a shorter campaign like The Old Blood, hence the lower price?
I'd forgotten about For The King too...
Re: Don’t Expect A Skies Of Arcadia Port Or Sequel Anytime Soon
Fantastic game. An HD remaster would be a dream.
Re: Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers Officially Confirmed For Switch
And they’ve still not worked up the nerve to post the trailer on their Facebook page. I wonder why... 🤔

Re: Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers Officially Confirmed For Switch
People acting as if SMT is anywhere near as good as Persona lol
Re: Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers Officially Confirmed For Switch
Imagine hating making money this much. Did Konami buy them from Sega?
This is going to sell nothing outside of Japan. If they really wanted to put Persona on the Switch, at least they could have given us P5 Arena.
Re: Mortal Kombat 11 To Receive Reward System Tweaks After Player Backlash
@WarVision78 some of the absurd Tower challenges make them a necessity for beating them. It can’t be done without rare gear.
Re: Here's The Full Lineup For Castlevania Anniversary Collection On Switch
@kobalt that would make far too much sense for Konami to do
Re: Here's The Full Lineup For Castlevania Anniversary Collection On Switch
I'd have dropped $60 on Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia.
What a waste.
Re: Review: My Time At Portia - An Engaging Life Sim That Will Eat Up Your Spare Time
I've finished the Community Center in Stardew and it's grown stale since. This looks like it should scratch that itch now.
Re: Mortal Kombat 11's $100 Premium Edition Contents Revealed
Their Vita port was great; going by that, it's reasonable to expect that the Switch version will be decent too.
Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Will Have A $100 Premium Edition On Switch
Who's mad enough to do this when the XL version of the game will be out in a year priced at $60, per usual?

Re: Saboteur! And Its Sequel Receiving A Physical Makeover On Nintendo Switch
Re: Switch Online Is Going To Be The Place To Play Classic Nintendo Content, According To Reggie
Most of the NES games suck; they know this, we know this.
They'll announce SNES games for it a month before the initial annual subscriptions expire; nothing before then.
Re: Review: Saboteur! - A Well-Intentioned Nostalgia Trip That Fails To Get Pulses Racing
Trash. Why release this?
