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.

Looks extremely unoriginal. Not saying it’s a bad game but it looks like Nintendo gave Ubisoft the same engine that Metroid Dread runs on and they just reskinned the game and added melee combat. I wish they just release Sands of Time remaster than this cheap clone of Metroid.

@johnvboy I think you severely misunderstood my concept. Switch success is thanks to third party support. So switch needs to be able to run new gen games with stable frame rate. I know gaming since the NES. Every Nintendo gen that had limited third party support has failed- look at N64, GC, Wii U. Wii was success partially thanks to motion gimmicks but this won’t work anymore. I am not saying Switch 2 needs to run GTA6 but Switch 2 will be the parallel gen of ps6 and Nintendo needs to stay relevant and will need to run third party games from that gen too! You need to see the bigger picture. Are you saying that it’s ok that almost 10year old games on Switch today that freeze at times like Arkham Knight is ok?! No it isn’t and Nintendo needs to be ready for this. Releasing a proper home console on par with ps5 would be better- but that most likely won’t happen of course.

@arabiansanchez you are right, but Nintendo needs third party support and that’s why Switch was successful as it is- but the gap is becoming so huge that now Switch has huge issues with Arkham knight which is a ps4 game, and PlayStation since then had ps4 pro, ps5, now ps5 pro and I bet by the time gta6 releases it will be on ps6 possible( even though they always release late gen to have higher sales) so Nintendo can’t afford to have the same issues as current gen, and it needs to be powerful enough to handle ports in stable locked framerates. Arkham knight was freezing at times on Switch. I am for a new Nintendo home console not portable and have power of at least a base ps5!

I think Nintendo should take this one not account and be very careful, because any Nintendo generation that had limited third party support had failed big time. Switch is the first Nintendo console to have a very good support and that’s why it’s so successful, but already now we see huge issues with Arkham Knight and that is a ps4 game. In a few years there will be ps6 - and Switch is weaker than ps4, significantly, and there was already ps4 Pro, Ps5, Ps5 Pro soon, and ps6 maybe in 2-3 years. Nintendo really needs to catch up if they wanna be successful. It’s not about graphics and raw power, but even if Switch 2 gets degraded ports that run terribly like Arkham Knight, it will be a very bad failure for Nintendo and so I believe the next Nintendo system should be a pure home console that could use Switch 1 as a peripheral device but Nintendo needs more power for Next gen since maybe 1-2 years after its release, there will be ps6!!! That jump could make porting under stable frame rates impossible. Careful Nintendo!!! Be very careful!!!!!

This would be an immediate purchase if they at least remade Perfect Dark for modern consoles including Switch. I don’t mind not having a sequel but I want the original on Switch! And Conker’s Bad Fur Day!

Of course people want it mainly from Nostalgia purposes. TOTK has better replayability than any Zelda before, and I think they did amazing job. I feel the only way to satisfy us players who grew up with Ocarina is to give us a proper OOT Remake in the style of Wii U Tech Demo! Some harder to think through puzzles, new combat and AI and that would be phenomenal. However I disagree with playable Zelda- that’s the cheapest way to evolve a series- let’s make a more playable characters- I FELT it’s a filler that’s not as good as the main protagonist- like GOW Ragnarok- Atreus was just ok, and Spider-Man? I enjoyed previous entries more. Companions were actually supplemented well through summons and they were cool. For playable Zelda- the only way I can imagine her- is have her as a playable Shiek in Ocarina of Time Remake.

@Zaruboggan perfect comment! It is ridiculous but also extremely rude. Aonuma is like a president in gaming in comparison to Keighley who would be a cleaning guy in the White House tops. Aonuma deserves more respect! This is so unprofessional!

No excuse, this is rude and unprofessional. He is one of the most iconic figures in gaming! It shows how unprofessional these organisers are.

Lol if Baldurs Gate Players actually played TOTK, the vote would go elsewhere. These awards are pointless! If Baldurs Gate releases on both PlayStation and Xbox and has even pc community support and fanbases , and Zelda only on Switch, how can voters truly pick the better game. I got tired of these awards and even Oskars, because it’s hacked and the winner must be a game that will make most money to the top companies and obviously this is 3 vs 1. Nothing bad against Baldurs Gate 3, but competing with Zelda?!!!! Zelda has 3 world maps-incredible transitions, each world has a special purpose, the lore, the religious and sci-fi ideologies, the story of eternal love and evil, true open world where every item has multiple applications, the mini games and just the amount of gameplay diversity, and game flexibility where nothing is forced and anything is optional- the game can truly be as long as players want and the same can be said about challenge. Not mentioning the skills, summons, and Fusing weapons and creating inventions! If Zelda didn’t win game of the year, it’s a clear example that voting today is not about choosing better quality, but satisfying mass opinions and shaping marketing so nobody gets upset. This is a shame because game quality and contribution should be valued as number one! Hope more people recognise it even if it’s not their cup of tea, and those who did play it most likely agree. TOTK is the best game of all time for all it’s done, and no game will easily surpass it at least for another 6-10 years. This year is rare! And getting a quality release like this not appreciated as they should be is wrong! Game of the year should be a celebration of game in all regards, and I would even say that BG3 is far more niche game than Zelda. It’s almost like letting Superman lose against Flash in terms of skills. But Superman (Link) has a cryptonite weakness, and that’s being released on a system that has two communities or 3 if I count PC against itself, plus Switch is deemed childish. I really feel this is not right and it should have been Zelda and this awards are insult to gaming but that’s life. Hopefully more people get to play both and really see who the true winner!

Botw and Totk cover the same story as Ocarina Of time! This story is finished and any sequel would be scraping the bottom of the barrel! Give us a proper Ocarina of Time remake finally? Or a remaster of Twilight Princess in the graphics style of the Wii U Demo that never came to life!

That will never happen if it’s life action lol. What an ignorant comment. Drawing is art- each frame is drawn, and it has a style that’s impossible to replicate with live action! Bad move Nintendo!

Burn in Hell Konami for this blasphemy!
Not only you killed my favourite series MGS with that catastrophic no MGS games on cartridge-not even MGS1 or 3! But now this?!!!!

@thenikdavies Banjo was great, but Sepiroth announcement was far more epic than Sora’s.

@rainbowtick I know they need to respect the original look of Knight, but if the system can’t handle it, they should have opted for more Zelda style graphics or just wait for new system to release!!! This starts to get annoying! Also the cartridge sizes! Switch is the only console where a fraction of the releases is on the cartridge- look at Doom, Metal Gear Collection, now Batman!!!!! Wake up people and let Nintendo know this is not ok! Next is Resident evil games- all in cloud because Switch can’t run them, then Kingdom Hearts Games- cloud only, Hitman-cloud, and many more,….How can nobody complain that Switch is getting these half cooked physical releases and no longer gets proper releases for big third party titles!!!! They have scraped off the bottom of the barrel to an extreme! We need a serious horsepower for the next system and I won’t be forgiving any more crappy releases by Nintendo! I used to side with N over PS, but Nintendo has been abusing its loyal fan base for too long, just because a lot of the users are kids, who don’t even know how to voice their opinions.

We need a new system, not a support an old system, that is slowly crapping it’s pants trying to play old games and rely on super talented studios that rarely make the games work ok like Doom eternal. But these are such rare cases that we really need a new more powerful switch! Stop this bull…. Nintendo!

I kinda wish they changed the art style to more cartoony to improve performance while keeping great graphics. I don’t mind worse graphics, but it sucks having lame black blob shadows, no smoke, reflections and bad explosions! Wish they put more effort into Knight!

@AnVold I wish they put Arkham City on the cartridge which is still the best one!

@blindsquirrel Nothing should ever be released and already count on patches! That’s unacceptable! The games got delayed for a reason and if it’s still bad, no buy!

If I could buy them and keep them on the system then sure! If it’s the same like NSO- paying for games I cannot own and paying for games that disappear once the service ends-that’s a waste of money! No, Thank you Xbox! I won’t waste money.

Why isn’t here more colab with Metroid or Zelda like in other MH games on 3DS:/

Can’t wait! Hope it gets the same treaatment like what Panic Button did for Doom!

It could diversify content- more items that are level based. More levels being a different game. A race could have different physics. Go deeper in terms of underwater and space combat. Having a race that goes into space like Star Fox. Could invade someones cart and on success the carts can swap. Having more combat to the back and to sides. More items! Some level based and some character based. Some items could get powered up with 10coins too!

@JohnnyMind yes for sure it will continue on the next system but what next. You still won’t own it and if you wanted to try the games in 15years it’s gone. This is about game preservation. I wouldn’t mind paying 10-15 bucks for each N64 game. So if you consider how much people might pay for NSO in 7-10years. Many people would spend much more and still keep the service so they would definitely make more money.

@CainTheConfused lol how old are you? Yes naturally you can lose anything from even physical cartridge! The main point is, which you clearly don’t understand- if you pay for NSO, you never own the software so once the service discontinues you can’t access it anymore. If you have it downloaded and paid for it, if the service discontinues- it stays in your system. What’s hard to understand?

@CupidStunt are you serious? What happened with Wii and Wii U and 3DS eshops?!

Still do t understand why they don’t add an option to individually purchase those games while having them all on NSO- I am sure there are audiences for both! Anyway, I bet there are people like me who have their N64, and won’t ever touch NSO- so enabling to purchase these games-they will finally convince people like me to waste more money, because most people I know hate subscription platforms, because we all know that this platform will be gone one day as it’s predecessors and the money for subs wasted. Nintendo let us just buy them too!

NONE! Because we should be able to buy them, not just waste money on a platform like NSO that will be gone one day! I wanna buy Perfect Dark, Star FOX, Conker, Banjo, Sin and Punishment, and more!

@bombs005 totally agree- Ghibli version of Ocarina of Time would be the best way to go!
