Thing is, it is a handheld that you can plug into a TV, real home consoles are ps4xboxo, switch can't compare with those, so yep it's a basic handheld but certainly not a multimedia one like vita, can't even play music or films or browse the net, Christ it even needs a 2nd device to use ingame chat, even vita had that built in, hmm basic handheld most definitely at this moment in time, that's not to say it hasn't got a few good games though, lol what am I saying, most of them are ports. Sligy is right though, it's nintendo's second attempt at this gen with a so called home console that is clearly a handheld that you carry around in a bloody big bag cause it can't fit in your pockets like 3ds
Just chappy PR to get switch owners to buy fifa, looking at the comments here, it's going to have a mixed reception, some buying it some not so. It won't have the impact some are thinking it will have in Europe, for a start the switch userbase isn't big enough plus many won't buy it and ps4 xbox will sell the biggest lions share of it, like I said its a stunt to try get you to buy it on the idle promise of other games, which there is no guarantee from EA
@daveh30 Didn't know that was him. That's more like it, new games, I used to love renegade kid games, more so the Dementium and moon games, it's the other guy that owners the properties of those games though, haven't heard anything from him, oh well maybe in time
@onex Yep, it's all about opinions and for me Kirby is very trashy just like crash but each to their own, hope you enjoy them but for me platformers don't do it
@Equinox I know what you mean, garbage is trash, can't understand why ppl buy garbage like Kirby, Yoshi, even mario party games, very trashy indeed just like crash
@NEStalgia Nah your statement don't stack up, why would Sony pay for mh and then have it release on Xbox, don't add up to me, if Sony paid they would have made sure it was a exclusive worldwide
@NEStalgia Yeah okami was a great game, I would like to see a compilation of their old school scrolling beat em ups, especially the ones they only released in Japanese arcades
@westman98 Lol, I think you answer the wrong person, I ain't ever mentioned Splatoon, tbh I don't care how many it sells anywhere in the world, but good luck to it and Nintendo, Anyways switch had the 3rd best launch in all of Europe, 80 thousand compared to Spain who is a decent supporter of Ninty hardware only selling 40k, and don't get me started on Greece who had their best ever Ninty hardware launch with a massive 2k lol, having said all that it's lifetime sales that count and that's way off yet, enjoy the ride though dude
@Switch99 I been waiting ages now to buy this on vita, heard about it over a year ago, Another black and white fighting game to watch out for on vita is Pato Box, it's punch out but more mature, check it out, see what you think
@westman98 What u talking about, UK is the 3rd biggest market for Nintendo in EU, only Germany and France are bigger,, switch is also the 3rd best selling in UK compared to other country's, ppl beat down on the UK cause Nintendo aren't number 1 here, that belongs to Sony then Microsoft, but Ninty hardware does sell here
Played first one and I have second one on vita physical version, how you may ask, well I bought a version from play Asia for the Hong Kong market, it's voiced in Chinese but has English subs, also downloaded the English version cheap on psn sale. Maybe the same will happen for this on switch aswell
@DEZn00ts Same, not buying switch, no real support from triple A. Just indie games and every hardware has loads of them, at the end of the day it's only a handheld that you can hook up to the TV, not a home console you can take on the go, it don't have true power like ps4 or xbox, the true home consoles, so yeah nothing special about switchtab
@IceClimbers Also a Breath of Fire game and Powerstone collection, Strider, and a new Final Fight with all the whistle and bells for the modern era of scrolling beat em ups
@faint Exactly dude, it ain't a smash hit, but good sale for a old game, if it came out a year after switch release it wouldn't have done those ok-ish numbers, that said I hope you guys support capcom with future games, if you don't they will drop it very sharpish like they did with vita, there games on vita sold more yet they dropped it
@gaga64 I wouldn't call it a cheap clone, Atlases released something similar years back with 20ish megadrive games built in, just like NES classic, seems to me Nintendo cloned their idea seen as they was doing it first long before, having said that I have to say I agree that ppl on here is interested in sega hardware and their games, for me I will buy this handheld they are selling, it's wow with the potential to download any megadrive even the Japanese ones that never made it here, can't wait I loves a bit of retro
Oh yeah, love it, totally puts the SNES Mini to shame with its low number of games for it, yep buying the handheld. Every game available, even Japanese beat-em-ups that never made it here and some, yep bloody perfect
@Mahe Yep have to agree, I have had every Nintendo hardware except virtual boy, but I will never buy a switch, it doesn't do anything for me, I have already opted out. I am fine with the vita and ps4, I know ppl will say vita don't get Sony games anymore but that don't bother me, besides Sony work behind the scenes to get certain indie games on to vita, I don't play handhelds for the latest AAA games, indie games are more than enough plus many great Japanese games besides vita has many AAA games released on it before the western devs gave up on it and Sony big games. The fact it has PS1 games and PSP and psmini all on the go is a added bonus, also there are over 30 PS2 games on it with most of them remastered is also a bonus and it has about 20 ps3 xbox 360 games aswell is another bonus, so for me there is no need to buy a switch, apart from nintendo 1st party most of the other games it gets are already on vita or ps4, also there is remoteplay. I went of the boil with Ninty back in the wii days but still bought a wii u but I won't buy there hardware no more, it makes me laugh when ppl say the switch has console quality games on the go, for me it's the other way, it plays handheld quality games on your TV, it's not home console quality ps4 and Xbox are, the Switch as a docked machine is more like a coffee maker compared to the big boys, but it's a decent handheld with most games I would never play on it or coming later, like crap platformers, actually there are probably only 5ish Ninty developed games I would play
@Curlynob
Darius burst is another, there are plenty on vita, some good twin stick shooters, like deadnation and helldivers , Another ace for the Vita is velocity 2x. Also there are 5 to 6 on PS1 on the store and some old classic ones on ps mini from SNK
@Angelic_Lapras_King They put English subs in them for the huge game market in Hong Kong, it's the same for vita games. Many ppl in HK speak or read English, also many games are been developed in HK nowadays like Rainbow moon and Rainbow skies, also mainland China devs are making games aswell, most of their games come to Sony hardware, but that will change eventually, especially if Nintendo release switch there
Not just this game, but many if not all big hitters will never come to switch without ruining the games, switch doesn't have the guts to run big ps4 xbox games, switch is a coffee maker compared to the big boys for raw power
@FredBiletnikoff
Nah, the fact he used the term 2nd party says it all, regardless of the series as a whole, even the dlc made it to other hardware, making it more unplausable , just like your joke comeback, the shantae games will always be multiplatform in the future, did I step on your toes or something, oh I am sorry NOT, get with it it's far from resembling a 2nd party game. Monster hunter first came out on ps2 but it don't make it a 2nd party game, even though the best selling version was on Sony hardware, psp
Yep i have it on vita, certainly worth a purchase for switch fans if you like Japanese niche games, it's not a 8 though, more like 6.5, it's just a decent playthrough that's all, nothing special,
Flop written all over it, the original was bad. Not much choice on switch for this kind of game so some will get a buzz, but most will be playing Splatoon and rightly so
Nope, never gonna happen, there is always hope for the dreamers, can't remember when a main KH made it to Nintendo hardware, normally just get spinoffs
@Folkloner Stop whining, deal with it, this stuff has been happening for ages and will continue to do so. It's no big deal, it's now part of gaming and no amount of complaining will change it
