@RasandeRose I agree in some way- gameplay over power any day! But look at what happened with Arkham Knight on Switch?! Also most games don’t even fit on Cartridge! Which is insulting to collectors.
We need solid framerates! We need amazing sound, and we need complete games on all cartridges!

Am I the only one that feels like it’s a copy and paste gameplay from previous games? The enemy AI looks very dull, and there is not a single element of gameplay innovation. Plus I was hoping we would get a next gen graphics! Forcing us wait so long, and then lowering the standard just to release it on current gen?!
I can ignore the graphics which don’t look any better than the Prime 1 remaster, but the gameplay looks uninspiring. Considering how many famous people work on this game, I expected to be blown away by the trailer but this was just “ok”.

Anyone else wants to buy this for Switch? Not just keep it under the NSO service that will one day disappear?

Am I the only one that feels like Metroid Prime 4 doesn’t look any better than Metroid Prime 1 Remaster? Also the gameplay didn’t show anything unique or new and it just looked much of the same. Little disappointed:/

Zelda Ocarina remake, F Zero GX remake, Star Fox Zero remaster, Soul Calibur2 remaster, Eternal Darkness remake, Metroid Prime 2/3, Zelda WW&TP, Metal Gear Snake Eater remaster, Xenoblade X, Viewtiful Joe remaster, new Sin and Punishment and Pokémon Gold remake!

Most importantly they should physically rerelease on Switch 2 with all content on the cartridge!!!!! Not like 0 MGS games and everything just downloadable and only the 2D games on the cartridge!!!!! Disgusting practice

Perfect Dark must release on Switch!!!!!!! That was the most legendary N64 achievement! And it got famous thanks to N64, so I am sure this game would sell far better to Nintendo fans.

Super Switch needs to handle new Metal Gear Collection Vol.2, Mass Effect, new Kojima spy game, Baldurs Gate 3 looks interesting- I would give that a shot, and we definitely need everything on cartridge completely! No partial downloads or cloud games! I wanna play all Resident Evil Games on Switch, and Souls games need to launch on New Switch also! Elden Ring would be cool but Bloodborne would be even better. Also, some games need remastering- like Bayonetta 3, which suffered a lot on this weaker platform:/

I want link fighting transformed Ganon at Hyrule Castle Ruins. Deku tree sounds so boring and uninspired!

How about they remade Ocarina of Time, but playable from the perspective of Princess Zelda / Shiek through the story:)

I Want Stellar Blade on Switch!!!!!

It’s a crime! I liked Fallout 3 far more than 4! But we also have New Vegas!
F3 was a special experience for me and I would love replaying it again. Please bring it to Switch and New Vegas too!

Last direct was so lame overall and seeing that after a couple month we get yet again another plain Indie world?!!!! That’s not scrapping the bottom of a barrel, that’s digging through the bottom a 10m deep into ground. Lame Nintendo, very lame!

Mario Wonder is the most streamlined and easiest platformer along with the Mario Land series. Huge disappointment and lazy effort since they removed score and timer thus eliminating replayability. Tropical Freeze is still the very best platformer on Switch- most well crafted, balanced, great unlockables and modes! Wonder doesn’t come anywhere close.

Where is Star Fox Zero? Or Sin And Punishment?!!!!! Or Mass Effect?!

Life Action aber s gonna fail! That’s the worst decision they could make! Zelda should do a Ghibli style movie!

@Truegamer79 GtaV ran on ps3 so anything is possible.

Now the main question is- will these games fit on Switch 2 Cartridge and will they run at least as well as on the ps4 the very least! The biggest turnoff with the first collection was that no game was included from the main 3D games, so that was a no buy for me!

Unacceptable, any developer should be sued for this because released physical unfinished games remain unfinished on the cartridge!!!!!! How long will people tolerate this? This behaviour should be illegal! Release games that are finished products!!!!!

@Sonicka one thing is how many seniors really supervised the team! It doesn’t matter which team
Made it, but that they crapped down the difficulty. And it is fair to compare it to Tropical Freeze or even Rayman Legends, because Wonder takes a lot from these two. If we all look at the older games- even removing score shows the lazy effort! Because it’s much harder to design a game where every action counts and you have to make choices- it’s a lazy design choice to remove it. After playing most Mario games, I feel the new gen developers are of a different mentality- and that shows in game design a lot, everything is streamlined so that everyone can finish the same game. Before, players had to be patient and learn, today, if a game is hard, people cry online and the game gets bad marketing just because of the power of majority. Too bad Mario suffers as a result:/

Mario Wonder is a game made by new team that clearly copies too much from the past and hides the lack of depth behind wonder effects. Anyone who appreciates platforming perfection, and has played Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze must notice, that Mario Wonder doesn’t come up with anything new- plus the elephant transformation is so boring , uninspiring, and doesn’t fit the game at all- like Tanooki and cat suits. It doesn’t offer any challenge compared to DKTF- which also had multiple difficulties, hidden routes, secret levels- and only after completing all secret levels which are crazy hard- then the real difficulty starts offering only one character with no checkpoints…and the boss fights were awesome in Tropical Freeze, not so simple like in Mario. Mario Wonder is marginally overshadowed my Tropical Freeze. Mario Wonder doesn’t have any depth like SMB3 where you had to consider which upgrades to use, and how you traveled through the map could cost you rare items. I feel like the team behind wonder lacks creativity and doesn’t understand what made the best 2D Mario great like SMB3 and SMW. I hope a new team takes over a new 2D Mario game. I like Mario Maker 2 more. The biggest disappointment is that in Mario Maker 2 we had some fun levels that had only 0.1-5% success rate- some were really precise and hard in a good way- any level where 15-20% managed to finish them felt already quite easy and I feel that Nintendo got stuck in that difficulty for even the hardest levels, which is not fun!

Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 3D, Samus Returns, Kid Icarus Uprising, and Majoras Mask.

Nothing would compensate lack of physical media. In that case we are manipulated because laws can change and so can ownership over time over products. My digital game can disappear one day, physical never! My main issue is that during release, they should have a finished products ready at a certain date- when that disappears, developers will get even lazier and release more unfinished games because updates and bug fixes will be the new norm. It happens today already, but not with all games. It shouldn’t happen at all!

@SwitchForce perfectly said!

There is no excuse to this! Can’t believe Nintendo wants to juice another year out of such underpowered device- who suffered? Definitely not Nintendo but we gamers who loyally wait and buy Switch versions and then we keep getting things like this, always waiting for patches, incomplete games on cartridges, and poor gameplay. This is not OK! Anyone would buy an undercooked steak in a restaurant or half cooked food?! This should be illegal!

Doesn’t make any commercial sense. Switch has a base line of 140-150 million consoles and good games can sell far more right now.

Last great gen was Black 2, but I wish they made a 3D pixel art remaster of Heart Gold

@Arcsol I want to buy those games, not locking them behind a subscription that will be gone one day

I also hate these subscription services and wanna buy N64 games on Switch. Rare Replay would be ideal. Why not offer both!!!!!

@johnedwin starting the year with Partner showcase, that already sounds bad. Most likely the best game will be Hi Fi Rush and thats it

Booooooo Nintendo!!!! This is so disappointing! First direct of the year and just Partner Showcase?! Those are fails for the most parts unless you brought some big third party like Vanquish, MGS Rising, Mass Effect, Gears of War or something really exciting, but if we just get some silly games and the very peak will be Hifi Rush, that’s gonna be a huge disappointment!

It’s too easy and childish. Kids back then had much harder games to adapt to so I don’t understand why the difficulty keeps getting scaled back on everything. Also, if they wanna remake more DS games- how about just porting Pkmn Heart Gold, Contra 4, or 3DS games like Star Fox, Kid Icarus, … these games are unnecessary filler the resources should be poured elsewhere.

@Diowine it’s honestly the best platformer out there. Amazing challenge, the secrets levels are really hard but amazing if you manage to beat them. Except from the hidden levels you gain extra difficulty if you beat all the levels and can play only with a single king with no checkpoints. There is so much to do and the challenge is so much fun, that Tropical Freeze of s miles better to me than Mario Wonder, Rayman Legends or any other. I do t think it will be easily beaten.

Bring Gears of War 1-3 collection to Switch!

Hey guys, but what if the news Switch also had 3D and could emulate DS and 3DS? I think it would make sense to have the new Nintendo Switch compatible with DS and 3DS cartridges-you could have the second screen on the lady or right and with a touchscreen it wouldn’t be an issue. Also this way, Nintendo would boost sales of the new switch, because a lot of people today buy new retro handhelds so they can play these older cartridges. This way Nintendo would cut out competition since it could play all the formats and at the same time lure consumers into buying more switch games. Also it would make the ultimate retro console, and since we all know the new system needs to stand out- and if it won’t be power specs, it needs to do something special.

@Jeronan exactly my words! After owning Switch Oled, I won’t go back to a regular LCD, so hopefully they will offer two versions at least if not having Oled at launch.

Sucks Smash Bros isn’t there! That was the most fun to watch!

This is pretty barren:/

Switch 1 had almost Zero competition so it was easier to create the hype, but with all the portable PC’s, Steamdeck Oled and many others, the Switch 2 will have to overcome much greater challenge. It would at least need to be more powerful than Steam Deck to justify a purchase from people who already have one of those, and those numbers are not small. If Switch 2 offers only a power of a base ps4, which is like 10 years old console, it will be predetermined to not fail, but it will face sales that might not even exceed 70-80mil units sold. Choose wisely Nintendo! It’s not just about power for sure, games matter, but Switch 2 will share ecosystem with ps6 in maybe 2-3 years and will need to handle 3rd party ports of ps6 games so hopefully they will make solid hardware that won’t have the same issues like the Switch’s terrible running ports and no content on cartridges for its limited space

Deku Tree?!! After Mario 64 Lego came out with the compact and fun design, OOT can do much better than a Deku Tree. The World is small. OR it could be the Temple of Time with Link holding the sword and you could flip the Ladestand around to switch between young and adult Link.

Any game dev that wants us to pay for something we can’t own is crazy and if they release such a game, I will happily refuse to buy any of their games. This writes Ubisoft off for me!

@the_beaver have you played Metroid Dread?

@HotGoomba if you have played Metroid Dread you will know.

These DF comments are sometime so useless?! Obviously, Nintendo lent Metroid Dread engine to Ubisoft to make another game, and it works flawlessly?! This game is just a replica of Metroid dread with extra Melee combat… nothing extraordinary!

Such a useless topic!!!! More important is what RAM will be on Switch si history doesn’t repeat itself in a few years like what happened now with Arkham Knight

New standard for this gen is 12gb ram, so it would be reasonable to have a bough storage for at least 10big games. I would go with at least 400gb.

I don’t see how could Baldurs Gate win over Zelda which is a symbol of innovation and creativity. The sad thing is it’s usually not about voting for the best game but satisfying the masses. BG is financially more profitable since it’s on more platforms as opposed to Zelda that’s just in Switch so it’s easy to tell that most people who voted definitely didn’t play both. Still hoping more people will play TOTK because it has become my favourite game of all time!

Lol how did EA got burnt by Wii U? EA got burnt by their stupid decisions-asking full price for just ME3 on Wii U where other consoles had the complete trilogy for the same price if not much cheaper! EA shot themselves in the foot. Now with Switch being the most successful console out there, it makes no sense not to release it on Switch.

All of this should be released on physical media as well!!!!!! This is such a thrash Konami! You release a damn unfinished garbage and then people who buy physically still need to download it! This totally kills the physical release of the most beloved franchise!!! I am skipping MGS completely-I was super excited first but Konami messed up big time!

@Ryu_Niiyama lol this has zero prince of Persia DNA! Nintendo gave Ubisoft Metroid Dread Engine and they just reskinned the game with melee combat. If you have played Metroid Dread, you would probably know.
