@ManaOwls totally agree! Nintendo should realize that it’s been enough of scraping the bottom of the barrel for this long with the old Switch! We desperately need the new announcement!
If this is true, it makes me worried. Some people skipped the ps5 hoping the new switch would offer a next gen experience but 12gb ram might be rough considering steam deck already has 16GB ram. Nintendo will also need to handle PS6 games in some degraded form but 12GB ram sounds insufficient. Hopefully Nintendo will be aware of what specs next gen systems will have, including ps5 pro, to make games that run very smoothly and most importantly- make games that fully fit on a cartridge!!!! That’s the most irritating thing on Current Switch!!!!!!!!! If I buy a game physically, it needs to be complete!
For that price without a disc drive?!!!! That’s insane! I also wanted to Upgrade from my ps4, but Sony just keeps pushing graphics. If the new PS5 could natively play ps1-ps4 discs, I would buy it right away no matter the high cost, but this is plain illogical investment! Guess I will skip the ps5 gen altogether. Hope Nintendo will make better choices and if the price is high, I hope we get a serious power boost and most importantly CARTRIDGES, that can always fit full games!
@roy130390 that’s nonesense, my first MGS was 1 &2 and Twin Snakes had some incredible choreography in the cutscenes! Plus if you are not a baby, you don’t need to use the first person view and play it the old way. It’s definitely better than the original!
I also hope that they rerelease Volume 1 for Switch 2 with all games on the cartridge!!!! I didn’t buy it only for that reason. Maybe having both Volume 1 & 2 in one box?!!! That would be ideal!
@chipia well important is how they change difficulty. They always go the cheap route- enemies more health and more damage, instead of making better AI- enemies with more behavioural patterns than on Easy settings, more sporadic and less predictable attacks, and enemy group behaviours. Make old time fans happy too than just watering the experiences down like with Mario Wonder.
Hope we get a decent challenge, because Link Between Worlds was super easy even on higher difficulty. I wish we can unlock more difficult settings after beating Hero Mode.
If all was on a cartridge with a nice new menu I would get this! But I hate these half baked physical releases like MGS, Batman Arkham,… where majority of the content has to be downloaded! No buy!
Just the art style of Engage made me to refuse buying it! Who the heck chose that cheap punk art style for a serious fantasy game. Can you imagine Lord of the rings where Gandalf has a half hair pink?! Riddiculous choice!
Nintendo should Honor his death by releasing a physical double-pack of Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark on Switch with his artwork bonus book! Xbox has released those games via Rare Replay but those games have such legendary status, that they should be celebrated, and made widely available, not hidden behind a subscription service that will be gone one day.
Companies are lazy to pay game testers and it’s cheaper to sell unfinished products and get testing be done for free by players!!!!! This is not acceptable! Either charge half the price and claim it’s unfinished so that game collectors won’t waste money on unfinished physical games which is completely ruining the physical gaming!!!!!! Or start releasing finished products as it should be!!!!!! Don’t accept this practice people!!! Don’t buy unfinished games!!!
Everyone I know won’t be happy unless all NSO games will become available for purchase too! There are so many games that are already available like this-Contra, Turok, Mario 64,… why not make everyone happy! Please support this!
@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”.
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:/
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.
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!
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!
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!
