We kept hearing of a Metroid Prime Trilogy coming to Switch since the Game Awards 2018, I’m not saying this deconfirms the game’s possible existance, it just gives possible insight into what it could take to get Prime 3 running on Switch.

The fact rumors go as far back as 2018 is what deconfirms it.

Ever since this lawsuit started; my thoughts were that Epic Games were being idiotic when it comes to bypassing IAP royalties and insisting Apple and Google were playing foul by removing Fortnite because of it.

With Spotify; I don't see why having an aneurism over not being the first result when looking up “music” on the app store and Apple having their own service is justified, especially when Apple has better royalties per stream, and both being bested Soundcloud and Google on such things.

Like I said, people are “Krusty” at that price point for a game that was free on mobile.

Extra Krusty Edition? Welp, people are already Krusty about this game’s highway robbery price.

Which is Ironic given CheeseHead BrownPants’s employer is a a greedy, penny-pinching cheapskate tightwad, and many toxic fans were initially furious assuming that Kamp Koral was nothing but a soleless cashgrab done against the will of fans’ lord and savior: Stephen Hillenburg, in spite being made by Hillenburg before his passing.

@sixrings you have phones don’t you?

@sixrings how many hours does your nephew live away from the Switch?

@Muh-ario, but it was directed by the founder of Retro Studios.

When the producer/star of the series expected this result, that’s when it’s not worth defending.

It’s pretty clear that The Guy Game still the gives Ratings Boards, Console Manufacturers, and even Nintendo NAM Flashbacks, and for good reason:

I think people had too high expectations, and are still overreacting expecting more.

People still put too much stock into Dedicated Servers and Netcode believing it will magically make Smash Ultimate’s online better. (Where it’s actually a matter of data distribution methods:
Game stuttering frame by frame > players warping all over the place for the sake of flow.)

The online-enabled NES and SNES games are a good VALUE.

I think people are over the “all games not having the Save Data Cloud feature” melarky

The App for Chat isn’t as terrible as people make it out to be, and also provides the interesting utility of stat tracking and so on.

Tetris 99, (The Late) Super Mario Bros. 35, PAC-MAN 99, the NES and SNES controllers are all pretty sweet offers (Tetris 99 and PAC-MAN 99 alone justifies it for some people)

@Razer, if you want to complain about the lack of Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, you can go and harass Netflix and Amazon since harassing Nintendo isn’t doing anything.

This possibly means Nintendo will have to stick only to their “Online Open” livestreams. Especially after relations soured with the Big House over how “Online-Modded Super Smash Bros. Melee on PC” sent entitled fans in a toxic #FreeMelee/#SaveSmash/#SaveSplatoon frenzy. All after getting their toxicity exposed inside and out in the same year.

Now we need Activision to offer up Activision Anthology.

So help me if Karnov doesn’t make it in.

At this rate; A successor/revision will be released 4 to 6 years from now.

CAT PEACH from Mario Kart 8

I’m still waiting for Sonic Pocket Adventure. (For historical purposes)

If true; GIVE US THE SIMS 4 DANG IT!

@NatiaAdamo, I know; I’m just glad to see Sonic Team is laying down the law with their lore, and with these projects always starting on a clean slate with their own rules, barely taking elements from other projects. (Ex: Sally Acorn, Freedom Fighters, Robotropolis being elements in both Archie comics and SATAM)

This may sound like a Hot Take: But Archie, SATAM, AOSTH, & SU always felt SUPER disjointed from the games. it’s clear that Sonic Team has more control with Sonic X, Sonic Boom, and the IDW series. Clearly a mistake from SEGA of America back in the day.

Many people seemingly don’t know this:

Much of ND Cube’s staff are made up of Hudson employees:

I think Nintendo isn’t really bothered with THOSE types of revised model, and probably won’t going into the new year at the rate the console already sold. It’s for all intensive purposes; the hope for a ‘Pro/Premium’ model Switch is lost cause.

First Scott The Woz’s Twitter, THEN THIS.

Me trying to save the former:

So help me if these games don’t come to either NSO or via some sort of Rare Replay.

To clarify;

Epic Games asks Apple to bypass the IAP method with their own, thus avoiding the 30% cut Apple would take from every IAP.

Apple refuses, Epic Games does it anyways and well... Fortnite gets axed from the App Store.

Epic Games acts like they are trying to stick it to the man with this #FreeFortnite, and 198Fortnite nonsense and attempted to sue Apple to no avail, only to then get the game removed from the Google Play Store.

Apple announces a program where it cuts the 30% IAP fees to 15% on apps from companies and developers that make less than $1M on a fiscal year, Epic Games (and Spotify) were critical with that decision in spite of making well more than that.

Say what you want about Apple being anti-consumer, and that last thing was obvious Damage-Control: Epic Games is really the entitled bad guy here.

Sora: I and many others feel like that’s impossible due to Disney partly owning Kingdom Hearts as a series. (Now come to think about it; Kingdom Hearts inclusion would go against what Super Smash Bros. stands for. )

Geno: Initally; copyright issues. Second; lack of interest. Third; Lack of interest while not being able to make a inventive and balanced moveset.

Karnov: YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE.

I always referred to DKC3 as @JonComms’s bane of existence due to “he who shall not be named” being there with Dixie.

KARNOV GET’S HIS REVENGE!

If the #FreeMelee malarky is indeed to blame; then I be remised not to blame The Big House for triggering that 30%, and triggering people into turning the livestream into a cesspool of #SaveSmash and#FreeMelee comments, devaluing the conversation of people’s Splatoon 2 skills.

I can assume that after 3/31, it will be included as a part of NSO, thus utilizing the better brightness of its emulator.

In the case of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, we might see these games appear as NSO subscriber exclusives, ala Tetris 99 and the limited time SMB 35.

I think people are overreacting to this whole situation.

To sorta recap; the Big House was given a Cease and Desist not on simply hosting a Super Smash Bros. Anything Tournament, but rather they were using Emulated versions of Super Smash Bros, Melee with the SLIPPI mod and chose to do so against Nintendo’s Wishes. Nintendo has standards, and The Big House refused those standards, the community has to suffer because if it, THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS.

If they simply decided to do Ultimate Only, then we wouldn’t be dealing with this. In terms of my stance on Melee and Ultimate, “Melee is Overrated.” and Ultimate is a better Melee in terms of greater match variety, overall support, at least there’s an effort to balance the game’s roster, and has online (depending on your connection set up that is)

If the Banana Slamma reference in DKC Tropical Freeze for Switch is one thing, than this is on the same level.

If only the line continued: Perhaps we could of seen SEGASonic The Hedgehog make it’s home console debut, Sonic The Fighters with an on-screen moveset cheatsheet, Altered Beast from the Arcade with some of the luxeries of the Genesis version’s 3DS remake, and so much more.

The best I can hope is that we could end up seeing SEGA start loading out more compilations ala SEGA AGES 2500.

If SEGA had to sell themselves off to one of the big three: This alone is enough to tell you that Nintendo is a much better fit for such a acquisition.

@Giancarlothomaz, I think SEGA being a second-party developer let alone being acquired by Nintendo is just a better fit more so than the Microsoft or SONY. If Nintendo does end up buying them outright, both sides have a lot to gain. Nintendo could utilize SEGA SAMMY Holdings other departments and expertise as a diving board to expand into other industries (Animation, Hotels, Toys, Amusement centers, Resorts etc.) and SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS would be able to utilize Nintendo’s I.P., receive secure funding, and take advantage of interesting Hardware or aid in the development of Nintendo’s future hardware.

I’ve seen rumors of SEGA being bought by Microsoft, If the situation was that dire and were given the option between Microsoft, SONY, and Nintendo, I’d see them be either acquired by, or being a second-party for Nintendo, because I feel they could have a lot more creative freedom then what the other two would offer.

@Damo, Then there was Treasure of the Incas at DisneyQuest.

Not surprised if you ever heard of ‘Treasure of the Incas’, because it was constantly plagued with problems caused by cell-phones’ wireless interference, and was closed down once one of the vehicles caught fire in 2005.

To think it was from Disney’s failed attempt to take on SEGA’s GameWorks. How ironic.

I’ll take small and convenient over big and gaudy, and I when I say big, I mean BIG.

With the state of the world, the current recession, the sticker shock and confusion to be had with both Xbox Series S|X and PS5 and the $70 games. Nintendo is in an enviable place thanks to having popular games, a humongous list of good games, and all at a price that isn’t going make people go bankrupt in a time where it’s becoming difficult to not go bankrupt.

I grown desensitized to the concept of a Switch Pro the more I keep hearing rumors about it. It’s been 3 years since I kept hearing rumors. At this point I’m with John about the possibility of a TV-only version of the Switch akin to the PS(Vita)TV, with no enhancements to horsepower or resolution at all. Similar to the Switch Lite being a handheld only alternative. Imagine a system that looks like a GCN controller adapter that costs $149.99 USD.

In terms of hardware power, we also had seen developers utilizing skills and smartly-optimized game engines to make the most out of the hardware. Ori: Will of the Wisps, Panic Button conversions, etc. all being examples of smartly optimized/converted games. It’s not number of teraflops, but rather how that number is being smartly utilized, kinda like playing Golf in a sense.

This is the most clickbaity articles I’ve ever seen. (or watched)

This score would be justified if it was more expensive; but for $2, it’s a mediocre, but decently fine $2 well spent.

To think Sonic did a better, more faithful jump to the silver screen compared to this. (post-reveal, post-redesign).

I agree with @Deltath in spite only being reminded of Mario Battle Royale’s existence just now. yeah; Mario 35 and Mario Battle Royale are totally different. The only thing they do share is the concept of adding online multiplayer with multiple people at once. However the execution is different: Mario Battle Royale was a real-time speed run to the flag pole, while Mario 35 is a endurance challenge. To say ‘Nintendo stole his Ideas’ is very unfair, once you take the execution of that concept into account.

@Northwind, perhaps they will, I don’t follow this game all that much, but they did make the “No-HUD” option a thing after patching out a glitch that did just that.

So help me if Prinny doesn’t join Smash dood.

Next your gonna tell me he will narrate Did You Know Gaming videos.

We get Mario’s Super Picross, they get another Fire Emblem game.

Famicom Wars is inevitable.

It’s only a matter of time before they start with the Game Boy and Game Boy Color games with a Game Boy shell for the Switch console itself to slot into.

Or A small handful of the Virtual Boy games with a special replica that the console would slot into alongside a wireless controller with both D-Pads in tact.

Or Game Boy Advance games with a controller built like a original GBA console (just without a functional screen)

The Switch already OWNED the 9th Gen. (no matter how many times Wikipedia will argue it as 8th Gen hardware)

This generation already proved a lot of things:

that developing on/porting to the lowest denominator of Hardware has it’s benefits.

Middleware engines like Unreal Engine, Fmod, and Unity are as good as AAA in-house engines.

Port house developers like Panic Button and Virtuos can deliver on making games work on lower-end hardware.

Smaller indie devs can be on par with full AAA monoliths like EA and Activision in terms of success and quality.

Word of mouth is king.

Games don’t need 7 to 12 Teraflops to be the best.

Better treatment of Game Devs is also king.

Good things come to those who wait.
