Great that there is so much interest and love for Microsoft Xbox on NintendoLife. I think there is room for more handhelds in the market. To me a handheld would make more sense than a Pro console. But I am probably fine playing games on 1 handheld. I like to buy the Xbox games on a Nintendo platform.
great that there is so much interest and love for Microsoft Xbox on NintendoLife. I would definitely buy and play The Master Chief Collection on Switch. So if that is too early, hurry up!
I would also be interested in Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and the Fallout series.
@MeanBeanEgg Is it? previous Lego games have higher scores on Metacritic. I expected a higher score. Also was looking for a different take on Lego games. I was a bit tired of the Lego games after 100% completing The Skywalker Saga.
@SalvorHardin I agree with you in the sense that I am not very optimistic about future Halo games. Their pitch of “omg look at these graphics” doesn't seem interesting to me. But in theory there can still be a great new Halo game.
But my point was that despite how great or bad the new Halo games are it would still make sense to release The Master Chief Collection on more platforms. Everyone that wanted to play the original Halo games already bought them on Xbox One/Series in the last 10 years. Original Halo games on Switch would create new fans or people will buy the game again. It's extra money for Microsoft and no danger to their console sales because old games don't drive hardware.
I don’t see why Halo would be “red lines” if they would release the older games like The Master Chief Collection. That collection is 10 years old. It is not going to sell more Xbox consoles. Releasing it on Switch could create new fans and those people might be interested in newer games of the Halo series. Or people buy the collection again to play it handheld.
But I will just wait. In the mean time I can play them on my Xbox One S or PC. But I think it is just a matter of time before they release the (older) Halo games on a Nintendo platform.
I didn't get the first Yooka-Laylee. But had a lot of fun with The Impossible Lair. I am curious how much they can improve the first game. Maybe a new game in the series makes more sense. But I am interested if they solve the right problems the first game had and the reviews are good.
@Maubari How can all of their stuff be on Playstation (and some of it on Nintendo) if Microsoft doesn't have a gaming division anymore? Doesn't make sense. Maybe no Xbox console hardware.
@anoyonmus I would say the Nintendo Switch can handle all three last Tomb Raider games. 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider where released on the Xbox 360. And while Shadow of the Tomb Raider might be more difficult to port we have seen some impressive ports already.
But you can't blame Aspyr for porting only the old games. It's the only thing they are capable of. It is this or nothing. But no idea why the owner of the Tomb Raider games didn't port the last games. I expected them years ago.
@jojobar I agree with te formulaic design. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of my top favourite Nintendo Switch games which I completed multiple times. Sparks of Hope I am halfway, but completing it is a chore. The game looks great, but it is not an improvement on Kingdom Battle.
Looking forward to play Beyond Good & Evil. Never played it before and thus have no nostalgia. But like you said those games are master pieces without nonsense.
@Pillowpants You do know that your current Switch is a portable too? But seriously, I don't think it is really worth it. It is possible to use two Switches. But it is not that easy that I would consider it over just undocking my Switch to play on the go.
I have a Switch OLED and recently bought a Switch Lite. Bought it cheap on Aliexpress. I want to mod it with a OLED screen. For that price it sounded like a fun project. It is a sleek device. It is a bit smaller and a bit lighter. But it is not more easy to take with you than the normal Switch. But this Hyrule Edition looks cool.
@bleeflooflah It does make sense, but I never charged my Nintendo Switch while playing in handheld mode. The battery life is pretty good. So I don't think that is the only reason to add a second USB-C port.
@LadyCharlie The Nintendosoup Store stated the same information before today they discovered the packaging was updated. But the games that where sold there since July already had a cartridge revision with all the updates on cart.

Re: Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Receives A Surprise Update, Here's What's Included
Wouldn't make it more sense to publish the article when the update is available for the Nintendo Switch? Or at least use a different title.
Re: Broken Sword - Shadow Of The Templars Gets Updated Switch Release Date
Looking forward to this game. I will get the physical release.

Re: Microsoft Talks About Extending Its Gaming Content To 'New Platforms'
@The-Chosen-one No Game Pass. Microsoft would like that. But there are no benefits for Nintendo.

Re: Stardew Valley Creator Reconfirms Version 1.6 Console Release Date
@Wool_Sheep There have been multiple cartridge revisions, but as long as he keeps updating the game I will just wait. I doubt 1.6 is the last update.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Reconfirms Version 1.6 Console Release Date
I am still interested in a complete on cartridge release...

Re: Anniversary: 8 Years Since Nintendo Unveiled Switch, The World Awaits The Next Reveal
@TheBigK Don't cycles overlap or something? The 3DS was discontinued in 2020 and the Switch came out in that year?

Re: Ubisoft's Disastrous 2024 May Lead To The Company Going Private
Maybe give us Rayman? I only bought Rayman Legends and the Mario + Rabbids games. If you release more interesting games I will buy them.
People also seem interested in a new Splinter Cell game for years.

Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online
@WiiWareWave What price do you expect then?
Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online
@Drew250 Hybrid is both console and handheld. But yes it still has to be comfortable to hold in handheld mode.
Why do you want to see a radically different design? Maybe the dock looks different this time.
Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online
@Drew250 What looked radically different about the 3DS?

Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online
@Spider-Kev Maybe they look uncomfortable because you confuse it with ZL and ZR buttons?
Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?
