@TheBigK Don't cycles overlap or something? The 3DS was discontinued in 2020 and the Switch came out in that year?

@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 There where more impossible ports on the Switch?

@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.

If they keep porting Star Wars games I will buy the Xbox exclusive Star Wars: Obi-Wan.

@Pres_Shinra Does it make sounds during the night? I don't think so.

@Lofoten It is for updates to notify you there is a new scene.

@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.

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.

@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.

@Arkay Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

@MirrorFate2 Why does it matter we JUST got a 2D game? The more the better.

Will you be tuning into Sonic Central tomorrow? No, but will look forward to news about new 2D Sonic games.

Bought Japanese Rail Sim: Hakone Town of Natural Beauty and Hot Springs in the pre-order sale.

@WiiWareWave What price do you expect then?

@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.

@Drew250 What looked radically different about the 3DS?

@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.

@Spider-Kev Maybe they look uncomfortable because you confuse it with ZL and ZR buttons?

@YunoboCo I hope not, only interested in Yoshi amiibo though.

Also waiting for the physical edition.

@dudujencarelli You can also revisit levels in Sonic Advance 1 & 2. Also time trials.

@GamingFan4Lyf It is not "disruptive behavior", but it is also fine how people respond.

@Anti-Matter Doesn't make any sense, but that's ok.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

I find it weird But I grow up with the 2D Sonic games from the 90s. Just want to see good 2D games like Sonic Mania and I am happy.

WMD was fun. Hope this one gets a physical release too.

@LadyCharlie I heard from it from NSCollectors on Reddit. I ordered a copy last week.

@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.

@gcunit Star Wars: Heritage Pack - 7 Classic Games is a retail release which got KOTOR I & II (although they need to be downloaded to play).

@russell-marlow A physical edition and Collector’s Edition will be available through Limited Run Games, with preorders opening on July 12.

@Anti-Matter Microsoft doesn't hate kids games. They are just nog overly fixated on kids games like you do.

@westman98 Why? It can't be ported by another studio?

Waiting for Halo

@BookhouseBoy Do you close your games after playing or keep them running in the background? I only had one crash when playing KotOR on Switch. KotOR 2 I bought last year, still have to finish that one.

@fenlix Why is it funny? The argument that it is a day-1 game pass title doesn't make sense. It will be released on Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox, Gamepass and PC at the same time.

Great game, finished it on Gamepass. Hope it will get a physical release for the Nintendo Switch.

That is fine. But you also use different or incorrect arguments that have nothing to do with the discussion. It makes it impossible to discuss if the Switch is a hybrid or not. But I also don't mind if you are not convinced. You can have your own weird definitions.

@sanderev I don't have a GameCube myself but I know about the accessories. The GameCube Game Boy Advance cable is a different product than the Game Boy Player.

You make it all seem very complex while it is rather easy to understand that the Nintendo Switch is a hybrid.

@sanderev Why is it not a hybrid if it functions as a console and handheld? Hybrid consoles combine elements of both home and handheld consoles.

Game Boy Player is not a Game Boy Advance, it is a different device that makes it possible to play GBA games on the GameCube. It does not connect the Game Boy Advance itself to a tv.

@sanderev I get your point. I just don't agree with your selfmade rules of what a console is. I don't know why you are using the Game Boy Advance as an example. It is known to be handheld only. But the PSP for example can connect to a tv with a cable that was sold separately. You could argue that the PSP doesn't deliver a great console experience but that doesn't change the fact that it can be used as a console. Not that I recommend it.

But the Nintendo Switch is sold with a HDMI cable in the box and has a controller (Joy-cons) that can be used wirelessly. It has the same accessories in the box as a Playstation or Xbox to connect to a tv. It has the same user experience (less power doesn't matter and isn't a rule). The Switch is being sold as a device that can be used as a console and as an handheld out of the box.

It just doesn't make sense what you are saying. Adding functionality like a screen and battery doesn't remove functionality like being a console. Naming it differently like a handheld with a TV out doesn't matter that much.

@sanderev The Steam Deck is all those things because indeed you can use it that way.

I don't understand why you think everything that is less powerful like a PS3 or Xbox 360 isn't a console anymore. Function doesn't change over time.

Very weird discussion

@sanderev Why did you decide it has to be different and why is a higher profile not enough of a difference? Your reasoning seems vague. Why can't a laptop plugged into a USB-C dock not be a desktop PC? It fits fine on a desk and you can plug in a screen, keyboard and mouse.

The same goes for the Nintendo Switch. Connecting it to the tv via HDMI and using a wireless controller works exactly the same as a Playstation and Xbox. And power doesn't matter. It's not like the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 are no consoles because they are less powerful.

@sanderev What is not hybrid about a console that can be played handheld and can be connected to the tv in te same way as a Playstation or Xbox?

@MeloMan DekuDeals is a good site to see if a game has been on sale. Last time was 4 years ago

@Anti-Matter Totally fine to support what you love. Just focus your energy on Nintendo and Playstation. What do you gain by talking zero interest and hate about the Xbox platform? I just don't understand why you care so much about the Xbox platform.

@Rodolfo6493 I think Microsoft totally forgot they released a Switch version. With the upcoming release Hellblade 2 there already are steep discounts on the first game for the Xbox and PC version. So I don't see it happening.
I am in the same boat. At the time I hoped for a physical Switch release. Skipped the first two sales and now the game hasn't seen a sale for years... Unfortunate because it is a good port and would buy it for 50% off.

@Anti-Matter You seem to care a lot. Why else you would you write such a long post? But not everything is about kids games. I think it's great we have multiple platforms to choose from. No need for fanboyism.

I love it, but it was also my first F-Zero game which I bought on launch day together with Rayman Advance and Konami Krazy Racers.

I wouldn't be happy to give up physical games. But probably give up physical Nintendo games If I have to install them first before I can play. If plug and play and complete on cartridge disappears then I can just buy digital as well.
