Don't have much of an opinion on this Direct but after a couple of great years first party wise with the Switch, is incredibly disappointing to see Nintendo seemingly fall back into old habits of barely showing/releasing anything. Just seems they are slowly losing momentum but who knows, could be something big around the corner.

@tabris95 made the exact same mistake haha only one I got wrong

Don't really have a big problem with the concept but making people wait a week for it just seems like a perfect way to get people annoyed.

So happy about PvZ, adored the first one on PS4 and one of the few games I got a Platinum trophyon. Always welcome to have another third person shooter on Switch.

@Anti-Matter Just a heads up, if you need to explain your analogy in detail, it's a bad analogy and a waste of time

You can use Dio and ROAD ROLLER DA on it, might be worth it for just that.

@Toph6661 They are all as bad as each other at this point, all three stuff their games with microtransactions and various other negatives.

@TimboSlice Transformers has had some great games in recent(ish) years with Devastation and the two Cybertron games. Even the Transformers game on PS2 was pretty good. Think there is more they can do with it but it's definitely done a lot better than some similar franchises in terms of games.

I mean the graphics on this one don't look great but seems a little early to say it's "horrible". If it's a strategy game could end up being pretty cool and something a bit different.

9 out of 15 for me, think it's pretty easy to spot what's N64 and after but find it difficult with anything prior to that, box art used to be all over the place in a good way.

Edit: Forgot to add Lost Magic is a great game, never see anyone talk about it but I had a lot of fun playing it around the time it came out.

@Kalmaro No one argues its vital for human survival, you just made that up.

On another point, let's say there is a SNES game that has never been re released on any platform and the only way to play it is to pay through the nose for a second hand copy. The original developer doesn't benefit, only the person who sells it does which leads to some games costing hundreds of pounds. I'm sure the people who developed these games would rather more people play them than sitting behind a ludicrous pay wall that doesn't benefit them or the developer/publisher they worked for in any shape or form.

Another argument in my case is a lot of my favourite games I originally played on an emulator when I was a teenager hadn't been re released at the time and I couldn't afford the original system and a copy of the game . Now I'm older and have more disposable income, I've bought many of these games when they have been re released. So in effect emulation has actually led to me buying games I might not have. I don't think it is as black and white as you are saying.

@BenAV So you are not buying it because even if they give it away for free, that would not count as buying it.

I actually find this really strange as I have pretty bad Internet, around 10mb speed but very rarely have issues playing online. The weird thing is when I lived at my parents house a few years back and had a wired connection on my PS4, SF5 lagged quite often but from what I understand the netocde there is pretty bad. Not saying its not an issue because with all these complaints it clearly is just strange that I seem to avoid them.

Do think Nintendo need to put more effort into their online service overall from the connectivity, lack of party chat and the games offered with the service. I know it's cheap but that doesn't mean it can't be criticised when other companies charge more but you get a much better deal. Would rather pay more and get more than pay less and get a barebones services.

The person writes for a paper owned by a Russian ogliarch who owns significant amounts of Gazprom and Aeroflot, so seems a bit silly for them to criticise a virtual representation of an ecosystem when in the real world their boss/owner significantly contributes to actual environmental damage.

@KoopaTheQuick I was replying to the other guy about Hypercharge Unboxed (another FPS on switch) haha not had any troubles on Warface, find full games instantly 👍

@tgchan I'm in the UK and I'm lucky if I get a game with 4 people in. When I get a game with a few people in it is fun but often I just get sent to empty lobbies and have to keep backing out and searching until I find one.

Quire enjoying this myself, been wanting a decent multiplayer fps on Switch and at the minute this scratches that itch. Will be interesting to see what happens long term as looking on Reddit seems to be quite P2W on PC where players have played much longer. Would love a COD game on switch though, Modern Warfare remastered seems like a good option that would run on Switch.

I recently bought Hypercharge Unboxed for the PVP but the online multiplayer on that game is already pretty barren in terms of players for me but I do like playing the single player/ co-op mode.

As someone from Grimsby, I approve of Hulbury

@able_to_think The first one had a pc port as that's how I played it as a kid, seemed like a good port to me at the time. Not sure how it holds up compared to the arcade original.

Links crossbow training is actually a really fun game especially considering the price it launched at.

I actually love Resident Evil 5, will get it when it's discounted though, refuse to pay £30 for a game that old.

@Majora101 Crash came out 2 years before Banjo...

Thought 18 was decent and 19 felt like a minor improvement but I'm not gonna buy it again if this is what we are getting. Back to getting PES on PS4. Do think Konami are missing a trick here, a good version of PES on Switch would likely sell as Nintendo fans have been shafted by EA so many times.

Thanks for the Blazing Beaks code, looks like a pretty good game 😁

@Malcrash Think the bar is so low with video game movies that it doesn't even need to be that good to be the best. Think it captures the Mortal Kombat games pretty well in movie form.

Do have a soft spot for the Street Fighter movie out of pure nostalgia as well though, love Guiles speech about getting on his boat and kicking Bison arse!

@hihelloitsme used to have it on VHS in my house as a kid, have watched it so many times. Love the scenes with Scorpion in the forest.

Think the original Mortal Kombat movie is probably the best video game movie to date.

@Mach_Rider Exactly the same for me, was probably my most anticipated game for the year but the demo just killed that feeling.

@Gerald Gain Ground is a really great game. First time I played it thought it was pretty bad but when I played co-op with a friend turned out to be a blast. Requires quite a bit of thought in terms of characters to use and your strategy for the stage.

Can't wait for Gain Ground, an under rated gem.

This could potentially run on the Switch surely? Meaning we could have access to the titles that it can't actually run normally.

My issue hasn't been drifting, more that when I push the stick right on my left joy con it doesn't always register properly but believe it stems from the same issue. Just blown under the little rubber fold and works as a temporary fix.

Played this on PS4 and was rather disappointed as it sounded like a good time but was just really boring.

I played a lot of Pokemon Quest on the Switch and completed it with no money spent. Granted it was grindy in parts but gotta say while incredibly simple, did enjoy my time with it. The game is relatively generous as well in terms of what it gives you.

@CliveWinston I had the same problem but managed to fix it. Went into the settings on Fortnite, turned voice chat off and on, closed the game then restarted my switch and it actually worked. Assume you may have already tried it but if not could work.

Edit: Realised you said wireless, mine were wired so likely not much help.

Played Fornite a few times but never stuck at it until season 7, finally understand why people find it so fun.

Disappointed planes are leaving though as it leaves my landing at frosty flights, looting all the chests and flying to the circle strategy in tatters. Hopefully there is a new vehicle that's just as handy for map traversal.

Gain Ground, that is all.

@BenGrimm
Still love the first film, one of the few decent video game movies in my opinion.

@BenGrimm

I believe he is referring to the second film (which is hilariously terrible) as Johnny Cage died in that.

@sanderev
A) It's a game on a Nintendo system
B) This event happened live within the game Fortnite.
C) Like his music or not, Marshmello is a DJ that has hundred of millions of streams on Spotify so he's pretty big worldwide and he hosted what I can only assume is the first live concert in a video game.

Also have you actually played the game? Because while there are criticisms to be made of Fortnite, a lack of depth is certainly not one of them.

@LUIGITORNADO I never said people are not entitled to different opinions but why get so hurt by the fact someone enjoys something you don't and then act like you are superior because of it? Different opinions make life interesting, being so butt hurt about other people's makes you a bit of a baby. As an example, I don't particularly like Rockstar games but it doesn't mean I'm offended that other people do and I enjoy talking to my friends as to why they do enjoy them and I don't, you know like adults?

So baffled by the reaction of some people to Fortnite on this site. If you don't enjoy something fair enough, no need to be so down on it. Just irks me when fans of certain games act superior because they don't play the "in thing". We all enjoy games to some capacity hence why we are all on this site, so how about appreciate we all have different tastes and get on with it.

Saw Pachter and disregarded this. He's been very anti Nintendo since the Wii days and most of his predictions have been incredibly poor.

Personally wouldn't be very happy with a Pro if it meant games you can't play on the original Switch but if it's more of a PS4 Pro situation don't see too much of a problem.

@Frenean The family plan is not available to everyone, I know one other person with a Switch so that's off limits for me. Also PS Plus and Xbox Live often have pretty heavy discounts so you can often get a year for a significantly reduced price. I just don't understand why Nintendo need to always be so slow with these things. The Virtual console on Wii had a ton of games released at a relatively good pace, receiving three games a month is a bit of a joke when they have clearly had access to the files for these games for years. I also don't buy the argument it's difficult to port these games when hackers have got emulators running on the system in a short time. I'm not particularly angry just disappointed that the service can't offer good value.

@VmprHntrD It is not entitlement to want a good service that's worth paying for especially when you have to pay to play online. Considering Microsoft offer both 360 games and Xbox One games each month and PlayStation offer at least 2 PS4 games a month, it's difficult not to feel ripped off. While the cost is low, offering an incentive to purchase is crucial to get more subscribers.

Played this while in Japan, was quite fun and one of my friends got seriously addicted and bought far too many cards!

Got the original on Vita and it's a really good game very easy to sink hours of playtime into. Definitely thinking of picking this one up when it comes out.

The yellow and green ones look so good, very tempted!

Loved Custom Robo on DS, been waiting for a sequel for years, hopefully this scratches the itch.

@Heavyarms55 shouldn't have stopped at Budokai 2. Budokai 3 is my favourite PS2 game, spent literally 100s of hours playing with friends, also in my opinion had the best amount of single player content in a fighter I've ever seen. God I love that game so much.

@KingSandyRavage literally half the world's population watched the World Cup at some point this year...
