There is no "destroying of memories" if there are no new games of established franchises being produced. Is that their strategy?

People are clamoring for a new F-Zero and I would love to see a new Wave Race game.

Minute of Islands looks weird, but in a good way. Might get it. Waiting for the reviews.

No time to play anything. Finishing up a report for work due next week. Luckily this doesn't happen often. I'll be playing Bowser's Fury as soon as I get the time.

With a lot of older games not being re-released on modern consoles, there will always be a demand for spiritual successors. No, not all games that try to capture that yesteryear's essence are as good as the originals but don't let nostalgia rob you of the joy that some of these titles can bring you. And you're always free to ignore these releases

Sea of Solitude wasn't received too well. I wonder if the director's cut will bring some improvements. I'd might pick it up.

When it comes to indies, I'm looking forward to Baldo, Eastward, Hazelnut Bastille and Heart Forth, Alicia

Face it guys. Even if the "Super Switch" releases this year, no one is gonna get their hands on one. The scalpers will be ready :S

Overall a decent presentation because there was something cool there for everybody. Almost...everybody. I'm hard to please.

My biggest surprise was with Skyward Sword HD. For the longest time I was convinced that it wouldn't be technically possible for the Joycons to do the same job as the Wiimote and nunchuck. But, Nintendo seems to have faith in it, and that's saying something. I'm still a bit skeptical though.

I'm playing SM3DW this weekend, but just a few levels a day because I'm working. On a break as I write. I love the game, as I did on the Wii U. I do find the upped running speed hard to get used to. I'm hoping for an update where you can toggle it on or off in the options menu.

The longer I look the more and more frustrating it is to realize that Nintendo will never ever treat their most valuable franchises with the the same love as modders do.

Nobody will get a Switch Pro, this year or next. Not for MSRP anyway. Scalpers will be ready.

Playing nothing. Working a lot. Really a lot. Not complaining though. Looking forward to playing Luigi's Mansion 3 soon. Bought it on sale.

Original NES and SNES d-pads were the best. Why? They were soft yet responsive. Membrane then vs clicky now. Rounded off corners then vs sharp edged now. Not all things get better with time...

Not THE greatest action/RPG, but a very enjoyable one nonetheless.

The snooty type. I a used harsher word in my earlier post but it got edited by NL. Censored.

She was somewhat cute in the Scott Pillgrim movie. She played the roll well. It came off really natural.

Looking forward to the Game Grumps playthrough.

Scott Pilgrim, YUSSSS!!!!

"Bigger than ever"

First thought; 6GB+ ???
"2.9 GB"
Oh, no biggie

Meh, I'd rather have a new Wave Race.

The chance of Skyward Sword coming to the Switch is almost impossible imo.

1. Motion control in SS uses the gyroscope AND the infrared sensor for aiming. The Joycon can't do both at the same time like a Wiimote. The cursor aiming in SS needs to be accurate and a gyroscopic controlled cursor isn't. Look at Mario Galaxy on the Switch. The cursor needs to be recentered every few seconds. It wouldn't work.

2. If the motion controls were to be ditched (like many people are hoping for) then the game would have to be fundamentally redesigned. Combat AND puzzles. Not only would this be a HUGE undertaking that Nintendo probably isn't willing to do, it would also completely change the character and charm of the game.

A possible hardware solution could be a specially designed Joycon rail attachment with a forward facing infrared sensor and reintroducing a sensor bar like the one supplied with the Wii.

I would have preferred it if Arin Hanson had done Zelda's voice.

Yes, it sticks out. They could get rid of the red background or place it in the middle of the other icons. But it's really not a problem for me. I'm more bothered by the lack of folder support.

Wave Race 64...
Such a perfect game. I desperately want this game (original and remake) and Wave Race Blue Storm on my Switch.

I've tried the demo. Not my kind of game.

The fact that he's congratulating Xbox and not Sony speaks volumes from a marketing point of view. I think that we're going to see a lot more of the Microsoft-Nintendo partnership these coming years.

PS4 first, Switch second. Simply because the PS4 exclusives are more to my liking. I'll get a PS5 next year.

Finishing up The Last Of Us II before AC: Valhalla. But also collecting a dozen or so stars in Mario Galaxy.

I think the situation with Covid and the lockdowns suits Nintendo very well. With sale figures like these, there is no need to introduce a more powerful Switch any time soon. Despite of what the rumors are saying.

Only one game for me and it isn't on my Switch. AC: Valhalla!

I'm on the fence for this game. A demo would be very welcome.

@fabiotc
Widescreen support for SM64 would be nice.

I play docked almost exclusively, so I don't care what display the next Switch gets. A faster Tegra chip with DLSS 2.0 support and (at least) 8GB GDDR5 , that's what interest me.

I play long sessions and my hands tend to cramp up when I play in handheld mode. So, docked + pro controller.

Never gonna happen, but I would prefer Nintendo made a small home console. The savings on the portable casing, integrated controllers, battery and the display could go to better performance. Imagine a small console with a Tegra chip based on Ampere with DLSS 2.0 support and 8GB of GDDR5 for €/$ 300 or less

Time for a hardware update.

And here I am, three and a half years of playing this game, still struggling to get the timing of the flurry rush and the shield parry right

I'm tempted. Waiting for the reviews.

I saw a review on the YT channel GameXplain. All three games have a number of small bugs. Nothing game braking and mostly too small to even notice, but still. Also some changes from the originals which might not be appreciated by veterans. Like the aiming controls for FLUDD being inversed and no option to change it back. This patch could address these things.

Mario - Just your average Joe.
You can save your princess too.

How will star collecting work with the pro controller though?

For my big hands, this design looks a lot more comfortable then the current Joy-Cons. The use scenario would be a bit limited though.

I prefer the NES originals. For the graphics but especially the soundtracks.

Keeps me wondering why we don't have Daytona USA HD on Switch yet. And where the heck is "90s Arcade Racer" ?

Online saves are nice but should be free (offline). I'm not playing online games. Sooooo....the classic library is...ok...but just that. Ok and SEVERELY lacking...

I'd rather pay €5/8 (AGAIN!) for the games of MY CHOISE then these meager offerings made by "Japan's richest company".

@Moon
Same here

Looks nice but somewhat clunky nonetheless.

Streets of Rage 4, with my oldest daughter. Having a blast

Funny story Reggie is a tall and sturdy built guy. So am I. When I'm near the entrance of clothing stores, waiting for my teen daughters, I get similar looks too. Even when I'm not dressed the part. I even got a lady walk up to me one time, warning me of a "suspicious person".

I'll take the two Zelda's and Mario 3D World please.

My youngest daughter has played New Leaf for over 3 years straight when it was released. I'm betting that she won't be bored or tired of New Horizon any time soon. My oldest daughter is not nearly as driven. She only plays a couple of hours a week.

I've got too much stuff to do. My daughters have confiscated our two Switch systems anyway. Animal Crossing all day and every day.
