I would love to see more character specific powerups/skills similar to double dash but expand on it. Also seeing more fun items. Also, how about driving through more stages from other video games. Also having stage specific upgrades and weapons.
@MarioBrickLayer I am also waiting for Prime Trilogy but I can’t believe they won’t release old 2D Metroid collection-Zero Mission, Super and Fusion would be an awesome package!
@locky-mavo you might be right, but I wonder what else could come out for Switch after the last main first party game-Zelda, lands on the Switch. If the new console won’t come out soon, they need to push more big games, and this would be a good opportunity. My hopes of course aren’t high, but it would be so strange with the success of Switch, almost zero needed work since there are already Wii U ports in terms of Mass Effect and Arkham games. Who knows, fingers crossed!
@robr some games are unplayable, but N64 gen games have more fixed camera angles and Z targeting and Goldeneye maintains horizontal aiming almost entirely, so vertical aiming or camera control is not necessary. If these game were unplayable, they wouldn’t be rated as the best games of all time. I agree that that could add extra setting for some, but I don’t think it’s neccessary. The bigger issue here I feel is preservation of games and that nobody minds having these games on NSO only. How many people would be interested in Physical version of Goldeneye 007 for Switch? Because one day the NSO will end and these N64 games will disappear along with it.
@locky-mavo maybe you didn’t understand?! My arguments pointed to the meson issue which are usually legal-which are none here. And why would the issue be to put money on the table-that’s meaningless when you have 120 million Switch owners or more. Plus this genre severely lacks on Switch so the higher chance there is people would actually buy it. The only titles on Switch under third person single player shooters are B tier games like RE5/6 or Sniper Elite?! So there is not a single game that would top the polish and gameplay of Vanquish. Nintendo and Sega would make a lot of money on the Switch release.
I don’t get all the crybabies that can’t play a game that just controls differently-so what?! Back then, each game had its own button mapping. Just because we live in an age that every company uses the same layout does t mean there is an issue with the game-people are just lazy to adapt to the original. Same story with Star Fox Zero- new controls that were so great after getting used to, but nobody wanted to learn something different. Humans are made to adapt, not wait for the environment to adapt based on their needs 😂.
I really hope we get at least Star Fox Zero remaster of sorts for Switch! New game would be super amazing too! Nonetheless, playing the 3DS remake of the N64 version, I would be just happy having a nice remake of the N64 game since even Zero was missing content from N64 like the underwater level.
@locky-mavo that would be even more weird dont you think? Mega Drive Collection is on Switch and recent Sonic mascot too-Sonic Frontiers-a Sega main IP landed on Switch, so there is no reason why Vanquish couldn’t be released if both Platinum and Sega release their other games on the system and have a good relationship.
@locky-mavo me too! I wish they will port Vanquish for Switch! Don’t understand why it takes them so long since it’s a ps3 game and Nintendo has such a strong connection to Platinum?!!!!
@StarPoint great points, I totally agree. I also want More adult themes like in Majora and wish for amazing soundtrack! I also wish Link wasn’t this teen hero anymore-why not having him travel into future where Link is like 40 years old really super experienced powerful Hero. Some cool Masks Transformations-imagine Link turning into Skulltula if he could curse himself and could climb super fast, plus all the possibilities with past Masks from MM. Also work deeper into how equipment and weapons influence each other. Cool items and magic, and we all need a really amazing Water Temple! So underwater environments are necessary! I would be also happy if Link could travel into the world of Ocarina of Time and revisit some well known locations there. More diverse enemies-and have enemies cooperate more together. I also loved how link could use his shield as a snowboard-I wish more of his equipment had more use-like stabbing a sword into a wall and attaching a rope-for swinging. Also like in Awakenings and Twilight-have item combos. I would love to see link finding really cool magic items that wouldn’t be necessary to finish the game but gave Link some cool abilities.

I choose Metal Mario from N64. The cool music that popped in when you got the suit, plus it could be a cool throwback to Terminator 2 I also feel the movie will end with a reference to Wario coming up as a villain. I can’t wait to see a Wario in a movie-he is so cool.
Switch finally needs the last gems from ps3 era like Mass Effect, Vanquish, Lords of Shadow 1&2 and Batman Arkham games. There are no AAA single player 3rd person shooters on Switch and seeing how great RE engine is on Switch and seeing the success of MH Rise, I can’t believe Switch got stupid cloud versions. There should be a new AAA exclusive RE game on Switch. Also we need a long overdue Metroid Prime Trilogy, Zelda-TP/WW, maybe new 2D Zelda, and new 3D Donkey Kong. New Mario game along with the movie. New StarFox would be awesome or atleast polished SF Zero with a dlc like Bowsers Fury. More GC games- like MGS Twin Snakes or Etrnal Darkness, F Zero GX or Viewtiful Joe. More 2D HD remakes-DQ3 or Chrono Trigger. I would be also happy for Super Metroid remake in Metroid Dread engine and DLC to Dread. Most importantly no more CLOUD games-since nobody buys those anyway! Just give us anew Switch more powerful than Steam Deck so their silly fun boys can’t make fun of the Switch:) the END!
NONE! We Want to Be Able To Buy N64 games on Switch, not hide them behind a subscription that will one day perish along with the servers! Nintendo, make all users happy and expand your services!
Biggest mistake of Nintendo is to hide these games behind a silly subscription when they could sell them individually as well. I would gladly pay 30,- even 40,- USD for this remaster.
If the game looked like a more serious dark fantasy or closer to the older games, I would be really excited- imagine FE in the style of Lord of the rings. But this game is like mixing Mid ages Anime with a Cirque de Soleil and a clown show- with the designs I just can’t take the game seriously. It’s a shame, I love FE, but the last solid game I really enjoyed was Awakening. 3houses was solid, but too stretched out and the fights were too long sometimes for my tastes-which I thought would be better in here- more intimate, intense game, but the visuals are a big turnoff for me:/
The game might be fun but for me personally the childish punk design of some characters is a huge turnoff. I liked far more the more adult tone of FE Awakenings, and I cant take the game seriously. Imagine Gandalf with pink and blue hair- even if he is the grand wizard, the ridiculous design would undermine his authority. It’s a shame, I know they tried to make the game different visually, to make it stand out, but for an older gamer and someone who has really loved the series, for previously mentioned reason this is a big disappointment and I will have to skip this release:( really sad!
@johnvboy odyssey is a pure platformer- Ratchet is a third person action shooter, adventure with minor platooning so it’s not really comparable genre. I don’t think Nintendo has a single really polished TPS that’s my point. Well we can only hope they will release something great in this category. Regarding Mario- I actually liked 3D world maybe a little more than Odyssey- but both are amazing:)”
@johnvboy maybe I didn’t say that well when I said Nintendo aims at kids-but the fact that most games have to be for all ages-it has to have a rating for kids, meaning there naturally has to be less mature content. Which doesn’t mean T rated games are not fun, and sure Sony also has to adapt to trends, so maybe I will say it differently-as I used to like 3rd person shooters for example, the only staple TPS on Switch is Splatoon, and on Sony you get MGS, Vanquish, Mass Effect, Last of Us. Switch has nothing except old RE games. So I can’t say for the entire Switch library there are no adult games let’s say, but for the genre I used to love( like Jet Force Gemini, RE4- both started on Nintendo platform, and now there is no legacy for older gamers like me- and in that regard, Splatoon looks too childish, but most importantly it’s focused on Online play. It’s sad for me, because Jet Force Gemini and Banjo Kazooie gave rise to Ratchet and Clank, but then Nintendo has not a single game, that could compete with that genre on Switch with such level of polish like Ratchet or Last of Us2. I am really just complaining, because I love my Switch, but I am just disappointed that I can’t play one of my fav genre on Switch-except for Cloud versions-which counts as nonexistent for me. I really hope Nintendo will cover its bases better, and I do appreciate how innovative Nintendo has always been- first analogue stick on a controller, first vibration features, first double screens, first speaker in the controller and touch controls(excluding pc mouse;), first motion controls, first 3D, first HD rumble-I know Nintendo should be celebrated in many regards as a king of gaming, but maybe they let the hardware gap go too far-and sorry to repeat myself, but the cloud gaming is really Nintendo just screwed all fans like me with the RE games and Kingdom Hearts( which I grew up with) so I am a bit bitter for that reason since if the system was just a tiny bit more powerful, we could get the ps4 versions at least-and no I don’t need ps5 graphics on the Switch, but I hope Nintendo fixes this. It doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the good things about Nintendo-that’s why I am a fan and I want Nintendo to rule again like during SNES and Gamecube.
@johnvboy yeah good points, let’s hope the next Zelda won’t have any issues not being a between gen release focusing on Switch. I also agree that core gamers probably have multiple consoles or even pc, but that won’t make a big cut off the major consumers. Switch aims mostly at kids or core. Most parent don’t buy for their kids multiple consoles. Imagine that the best Zelda games sold only 3-8 million, BOTW sold like 26M ( not sure it counts WiiU) anyways if we consider that large number of the near 30M is the Core-which I would assume would be like a third of it in relation to previous Zelda sales-like TP sold only 8-9M and that one of the most popular Zelda titles, there is a high chance that the players who played previous Zelda are longer term fans, and the 20M are new players. Anyways, Switch sold around 120 million units- the core might be not even 10%, and that a lot more consumers that don’t focus on first party but want a portable system that also runs solid third party. To complement Nintendo- Doom Eternal was phenomenal and with gyro it was more fun to me than the ps4 version. So thats also a proof that Nintendo knows they need the best third party games- since software sales are what counts, not the consoles. So if people are not completely happy with only 1 system- then most consumers will end up the games that look better( saying most, not all of course), so Nintendo cannot really ignore this. I am not demanding in terms of power but things must be on some level so the console is relevant for developers. Let’s just hope that Nintendo will make the right call and release the new system when it the right time. I would be quite happy if the new system is home console only and the switch could just become its accessory:) how about you, would you prefer a more powerful handheld, or a home console?
@johnvboy I understand, thanks for clarification. Well not everyone can buy both consoles-and even two portable ones-Switch and Steamdeck for example. So I feel even though you are correct, and some people buy third party on another console, there is still a large amount of people with only one platform who would like to play 3rd party on handheld Switch. I feel 3rd party shouldn’t be a privilege-it has always been there since N64-but the tech gap is just quite increasing. Anyways to your first point, remember BOTW the great Deku tree/ Master Sword area- the frame rate was terrible. Also most recently Bayonetta 3, which was really disappointing because I love Platinum games and Bayonetta for the most part, and honestly so many sacrifices had been made:( chinese wall level has textures like from N64, super low res effects-maybe no effects at all would make it looked more polished, and regarding some 3rd party-Mortal Kombat also had some full backgrounds missing, and more. I think some games are still fun, but I feel the 15gb limit for the games also decreases what the devs can put in the game because they don’t want to sell 30gb cartridges just 15gb. But I won’t nitpick-most 3rd party are fine with some exceptions, but the cloud is inexcusable for me, the audience is huge and Nintendo fans being given a lame cloud version?! Anyways, I love my Switch, but I wish I could have some of my favorites on it-which are missing- all ps3 gen. I think in some instances more power can really help-not for prettier graphics, but more distant textures load better so that’s essential for shooting games and sniping for example. 30fps is fine but 60fps gives you more frames for your response time so it actually is more fluid-which is not necessary for all games but at least for some.
@johnvboy I think you didn’t focus on the main part of my message because maybe like you I also hate mid gen updates, but I wanted to express the lifecycle of Sony and Nintendo didn’t try to stay on par in some regards because it’s not about graphics, but about being just able to coexist within a market in a feasible way. All I am saying is if Nintendo can’t even bring ps4 degraded versions of games and the only thing we can get are some lame cloud versions, that’s an issue for most gamers right there! I don’t care for lead gen graphics, but Switch can’t properly run its first party games even! I wish it wasn’t the case-I love my switch, but how many even ps3 ports were not brought over and ps3 is a 2006 console! Nintendo can’t ignore 3rd party games- and already this generation, we couldn’t get Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2- now even the cartridge size is becoming an issue, then amazing resident evil 2/3 remakes, REVII and VIII all cloud, because Switch can’t run this-but ps4 can! No Mass Effect- ps3, no Vanquish-because it 60fps fast action and we couldn’t get the remaster/even though we could get the ps3 maybe, also no Batman Arkham games(ps3/4), and more. So if Switch was at least on par with ps4, there is no need to make custom ports for Switch and both markets get the same version, and NO CLOUD! In this regard, Nintendo fans suffer, because they can’t play these games- Nintendo Switch is foremost a portable system and any Cloud version just doesn’t make sense to even bring to this console.
@blindsquarel If a console has to sacrifice quality of its own exclusives because the system can’t handle it, then it’s not about if it feels old, it’s about being up to par with what’s needed. In those regards, yes Switch needs an upgrade, and even more so when the competition already released 2 hardware improvements in its lifecycle( Ps4 Pro, And ps5) and we have a Steam Deck and many others-which Switch can’t hold up to. I don’t need Switch to be the most powerful console, but if even BOTW-a system release title has hickups, then I buy a super anticipated game like Bayo 3 and the Special Edition, and the game has big issues because of the underpowered hardware- then I am mad. Also the consoles need to run 3rd party games-Switch won’t be able to run degraded ps5 games, and more demanding games are just ported via Cloud because Switch can’t natively run ps4 version of games( a ps4 that’s pretty old now)!!!! And Switch owners get miserable Cloud versions?!!!!! That’s what I feel is wrong and in such regard the Switch doesn’t feel old, but urgently needs a serious hardware upgrade!!!!!!!!

@ClaytThaGreat definitely isn’t- it’s more convenient I can agree on that. Once you involve the economic side of things and sharing, then how can that be?! You can share your account only with 1 person, can you lend it to someone else, No can’t do! Or can you sell it-also can’t- ownership is locked with your account and the duration of the server- so once you lose the switch or two and the server is gone, you lose all your games. I hope you understand the long term benefits of having physical media. I switched to mostly digital for some time, but all these negatives bring me back to physical again. Also, if you remember offline consoles, all releases were mostly flawless, and as I mentioned before, the biggest downside of eliminating physical media is that companies will get even lazier because they can patch their games anytime and release them in any condition. Before, there were no patches and updates, the game had to be properly tested before release, and the industry was just more disciplined and delivered complete products. Now games are so much about profit that companies push deadlines to make money for holidays, that they ignore what state the game will release in. So your opinion is important and people around you too, because we all impact the global market and shape it. You can disagree with me if what you care most for is comfort and not quality of releases, economic side of things, having life long ownership, etc, because that will all degrade drastically if consumers allow physical media to disappear. We might get them to a point where only a few companies release physical games, and there won’t be enough for all who want it-like Limited Run games and I hope that won’t happen. Even ps4/5 games are becoming a problem, because the disc serves mostly just for the license and without a download you can’t play the game, which I think is terrible. Anyway, have a great weekend!
We need at least Metroid Prime trilogy, I can wait for 4 if they polish it- and even prefer to get it on new Nintendo Hardware so it looks at least on par with ps4 pro graphics. I would be happy for more ports- still no idea why old games like Mass Effect, Batman Arkham games, Vanquish... are not on Switch- most of those were on the Wii U, and these are all ps3 games!!!! Also we need more GameCube titles! F Zero GX, Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, AND ZELDA'S, AND LITTLE DREAM: MGS Twin Snakes:)
It doesn’t make sense that the best boss from Breath of the Wild-Maz Koshia is not on this list!!!!! It’s a better boss than atleast half of the ones on this list, and definitely the most challenging fight in BOTW!
@Picola-Wicola exactly that’s the issue! There is no way to back up a big library unless you have a ton of cash extra to buy a few more momory cards. So once the server is down, you can never redownload the games you have already bought! Also digital games-you can’t share them with a friend, and can’t sell them if you want to. Way too many disadvantages. Also the price is the same, which is ridiculous. Digital only should be drastically cheaper, at least for the amount that the art box and cartridge cost. But as I mentioned, moving to only digital will further worsen the quality of releases because they can release unfinished games and keep fixing them after release, which would never happen if it was only physical release.
Not a single serious gamer I know would ever prefer digital games! You can’t share them, and what happens when they close down the servers like with 3DS and Wii?! You lose all the games. Cartridges last longer than discs! I have games since gameboy,n64- and I never had a single cartridge that would stop working. I there will be a gen of consoles that’s digital only, it’s over for collectors as well! Digital has bad influence on the industry- they got too used to making patches all the time and usually companies release unfinished products! Before, it had to be tested super well, and rarely there would be a game that got released and had serious issues liked games today! So physical release has to have a more polished form!
This music doesn’t suit the medieval period. They make it too anime punk, and it totally loses the serious but powerful atmosphere of the older FE games. Too bad Nintendo treats all players as kids and it’s more and more visible in many games so I will definitely skip this one.
Thanks for the insights on your end. I only mentioned GOW because it’s highly praised and it’s a hack and slash genre as well. Anyway, I totally get you, the story is anime type of craziness, but I felt the first two had a deeper story than most people know because many don’t really pay attention to it. I thought the way the second game connected to the first was crazy and sad. I feel like each game has its own flavor. I liked the first the most for the atmosphere, second for gameplay and gore, and the third I just ended up really enjoying overall. I know the multiverse makes things strange to some, and it could be more polished, but I liked how Bayo experienced herself in other Multi verses and you got to see different sides to the characters. I also liked the references to other games- like the train demon and Wonderful 101, or summoning the Umbran tower, which was the most powerful place for all Umbras. Well maybe that’s just me. With the gameplay side- I agree with you to some degree-I didn’t mind Viola, I liked her demon and she was clumsy because she is the daughter of Luka…, but my issue was during challenges and I feel I learned to enter the witch time well- but sometimes it lasted a second and just ended-that was my main issue. Regarding Bayo and her demons-after I learned that for each demon you can quickly enter two commands and then just control Bayo, and when you see that they are about to finish the second attack, you press the button to summon a demon-enter two more inputs and go back to Bayo, so this way you can juggle between Bayo and the demon and it’s a fun dance. I actually didn’t encounter that many situation where the camera was an issue. You can try what I suggested and maybe it will work for you.
It seems you like Hack and Slash so what are your top 3 games in the genre?
@FullMetalWesker I think that after playing games for like 32 years, I don’t need a game that’s a movie-like experience, if that’s what you prefer! I enjoy more games that are pure fun. Usually younger generations like the great graphics and usually get blinded by it, but look for instance what has changed gameplay wise between GOW2018 and Ragnarok- almost nothing- is for the most part a gameplay copy and paste scenario. Look at what has changed and what was added between Bayo 2 and 3. Bayo is more creative and more fun gaming experience. Ragnarok is a polished game, I am not saying it isn’t, but I am tired of games where you spend ages running around and a story that could be told within 15h is stretched to 40-50hours for the sake of making the game longer. If you like the story-great for you. Someone prefers direct story and all answers given, I prefer “Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind” over a story like Terminator. It’s simple and fun, but you should understand that majority of consumers today want products like Hollywood types of scripts and that ruins the industry because it’s all the same type of scenario development for large amount of products. Bayo is crazy weird, and I am sure the story would be more cohesive if they stretched it, but they tried to express way too much in too little time. Bayo3 is not a perfect game- I have my gripes with it too, but even seeing reviews-nobody complained about tech issues of Ragnarok- because it’s a staple series, it has more hype, better marketing, and nobody dares to say a word about it-and I experienced crazy slowdowns that made it unplayable- which never happened in Bayo3- but people complained like hell for some minor drops in frames. All I am saying, is that do we really want a word by word story telling with all the answers given, no need to think and have a visual blast, or is it also good to have weird crazy games that are simply more about fun, and where your mind can fill in the gaps. I really didn’t mean to attack Ragnarok, but I really had a blast with Bayo 3, and find it one of the most creative action hack and slash games out there along with Wonderful 101 and Astral Chain. I still feel, that GOW lost its charisma when you compare it to GOW1-3. Anyway, if you have a great time with any game, that’s great, but it’s good to defend a game, so we don’t get stuck in a product portfolio where nobody tries to do anything unique, and that’s what makes Bayo 3 stand out. It has its low points but the high points far outweigh the lows. I admit, GOW has better writing, better graphics, deeper characters, it is gory and cool, but it still doesn’t need to make a game more fun. Bayo is extravagant, sexy, pure fun, and crazy bold for pushing so many ideas into one game. Bayo3 really is a celebration of all action gaming-and that’s why it wins for many players. Anyways, there is no need to compare, we all have different lives, and sometime certain things just click better at certain stages of life for no reason so have fun!
@jrt87 if graphics is your issue than it’s not for you. If you care for gameplay, than this game is the most creative hack and slash out there and far more fun than God of War Ragnarok. If you read the log entries in B3 I think the villain being an Nano Machine AI that absorbs all knowledge and learns at unprecedented levels- and by being AI it’s growth through all AI’s it’s connected to is the very opposite of the world of Chaos! I find the villain to be quite a huge threat. This story is about thinking, not by being given every answer. It also super replayable. Each game in the trilogy also focuses on different part of Trinity- B1- Paradiso, B2 Inferno and B3 Chaos. It’s a great trilogy and the story is a trip if you give it a chance and think about it. I find GOW a chore, and for Bayo 3 a restarted as soon as I finished. Of course I wish levels like China had better textures and models, but the world was great- each multiverse explored different side of relationships among the main cast of characters, and all the awesome weapons and deamons make the game so replayable with bonus levels, and Witch trials. Really a gem among hack and slash.
The only way I would buy a cloud game would be that Nintendo promises that these cloud versions will become downloadable on the next Nintendo console which will be able to play those games natively. Otherwise it’s a huge disappointment- Monster Hunter does so well with the RE Engine on Switch so it’s terrible to see them put Zero Effort to make it run on Switch- which they could easily do if Capcom wanted- this feels like a huge betrayal since Nintendo was the home to many RE games- RE4 was Gamecube Exclusive, RE Zero was GC only too, then RE1 Remake-another exclusive, RE Revelations… Anyway- even N64 has RE2 😂, so Shame on Capcom to treat Nintendo fans this way, when it’s community supported Capcom for like 25 years.
@BabyYoda71 yeah that’s true, but Doom Eternal also released much later and still sold well. That’s why they make gaps between many old games releasing on home consoles and then much later for switch, because these greedy companies know that many people will buy it again portable. The real argument is still that it’s not a wise decision to release cloud version of the game, because even if they did soMe extra work to port it to Switch, many people would still more likely buy a real downloadable version, than a cloud. Switch has around 115M consoles sold! Far more than X box, so it’s just a missed opportunity and missed profits! The main thing is, if Doom E runs smooth on Switch- and it’s a far faster and action oriented game than RE VIII, they could easily port it. I think Nintendo should maybe clarify more about Cloud gaming- like for those who buy Cloud games- when Nintendo releases their next hardware-those users will be able to download the original version for free on next gen console- then I would consider.
@Desa cloud games is the same like the game never released. Never gonna buy anything cloud. Stupid capcom for insulting their fans with this lazy effort. It’s like asking us to flush our money down the toilet and being surprised when we don’t want to do it.

Re: Poll: Which Character Would You Like To See Return Next In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

Re: Platinum Celebrates Metal Gear Rising's 10th Anniversary Later This Month
@locky-mavo you might be right, but I wonder what else could come out for Switch after the last main first party game-Zelda, lands on the Switch. If the new console won’t come out soon, they need to push more big games, and this would be a good opportunity. My hopes of course aren’t high, but it would be so strange with the success of Switch, almost zero needed work since there are already Wii U ports in terms of Mass Effect and Arkham games. Who knows, fingers crossed!

@locky-mavo maybe you didn’t understand?! My arguments pointed to the meson issue which are usually legal-which are none here. And why would the issue be to put money on the table-that’s meaningless when you have 120 million Switch owners or more. Plus this genre severely lacks on Switch so the higher chance there is people would actually buy it. The only titles on Switch under third person single player shooters are B tier games like RE5/6 or Sniper Elite?! So there is not a single game that would top the polish and gameplay of Vanquish. Nintendo and Sega would make a lot of money on the Switch release.

I don’t get all the crybabies that can’t play a game that just controls differently-so what?! Back then, each game had its own button mapping. Just because we live in an age that every company uses the same layout does t mean there is an issue with the game-people are just lazy to adapt to the original. Same story with Star Fox Zero- new controls that were so great after getting used to, but nobody wanted to learn something different. Humans are made to adapt, not wait for the environment to adapt based on their needs 😂.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of GoldenEye 007 On Switch
My biggest disappointment is there is no Physical release for this game! I would gladly pay full price for this!
Re: Star Fox 64 Follow-Up Title Was Pitched For Wii U, But Retro Studios Passed On It
I really hope we get at least Star Fox Zero remaster of sorts for Switch! New game would be super amazing too! Nonetheless, playing the 3DS remake of the N64 version, I would be just happy having a nice remake of the N64 game since even Zero was missing content from N64 like the underwater level.
Re: Platinum Celebrates Metal Gear Rising's 10th Anniversary Later This Month
@wuntyme8 totally agree- me personally I hope for Vanquish and new Star Fox made by Platinum too.
Re: Platinum Celebrates Metal Gear Rising's 10th Anniversary Later This Month
@locky-mavo that would be even more weird dont you think? Mega Drive Collection is on Switch and recent Sonic mascot too-Sonic Frontiers-a Sega main IP landed on Switch, so there is no reason why Vanquish couldn’t be released if both Platinum and Sega release their other games on the system and have a good relationship.
Re: Talking Point: Who Did You Marry In Fire Emblem: Awakening?
Wish they ported 2D HD version of FE Awakening to Switch!!!
Re: Platinum Celebrates Metal Gear Rising's 10th Anniversary Later This Month
@locky-mavo me too! I wish they will port Vanquish for Switch! Don’t understand why it takes them so long since it’s a ps3 game and Nintendo has such a strong connection to Platinum?!!!!

Re: Video: With 100 Days To Go, What Do You Want To See In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
@StarPoint great points, I totally agree. I also want More adult themes like in Majora and wish for amazing soundtrack! I also wish Link wasn’t this teen hero anymore-why not having him travel into future where Link is like 40 years old really super experienced powerful Hero. Some cool Masks Transformations-imagine Link turning into Skulltula if he could curse himself and could climb super fast, plus all the possibilities with past Masks from MM. Also work deeper into how equipment and weapons influence each other. Cool items and magic, and we all need a really amazing Water Temple! So underwater environments are necessary! I would be also happy if Link could travel into the world of Ocarina of Time and revisit some well known locations there. More diverse enemies-and have enemies cooperate more together. I also loved how link could use his shield as a snowboard-I wish more of his equipment had more use-like stabbing a sword into a wall and attaching a rope-for swinging. Also like in Awakenings and Twilight-have item combos. I would love to see link finding really cool magic items that wouldn’t be necessary to finish the game but gave Link some cool abilities.

Re: Talking Point: Which Mario Suits Do You Want To See In The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
I choose Metal Mario from N64. The cool music that popped in when you got the suit, plus it could be a cool throwback to Terminator 2 I also feel the movie will end with a reference to Wario coming up as a villain. I can’t wait to see a Wario in a movie-he is so cool.
Re: Video: One Month In, What Are Your Predictions For The Switch's 2023?
Switch finally needs the last gems from ps3 era like Mass Effect, Vanquish, Lords of Shadow 1&2 and Batman Arkham games. There are no AAA single player 3rd person shooters on Switch and seeing how great RE engine is on Switch and seeing the success of MH Rise, I can’t believe Switch got stupid cloud versions. There should be a new AAA exclusive RE game on Switch. Also we need a long overdue Metroid Prime Trilogy, Zelda-TP/WW, maybe new 2D Zelda, and new 3D Donkey Kong. New Mario game along with the movie. New StarFox would be awesome or atleast polished SF Zero with a dlc like Bowsers Fury. More GC games- like MGS Twin Snakes or Etrnal Darkness, F Zero GX or Viewtiful Joe. More 2D HD remakes-DQ3 or Chrono Trigger. I would be also happy for Super Metroid remake in Metroid Dread engine and DLC to Dread. Most importantly no more CLOUD games-since nobody buys those anyway! Just give us anew Switch more powerful than Steam Deck so their silly fun boys can’t make fun of the Switch:) the END!

Re: Poll: Fire Emblem Engage Is Out On Switch This Week, Are You Getting It?
If the game looked like a more serious dark fantasy or closer to the older games, I would be really excited- imagine FE in the style of Lord of the rings. But this game is like mixing Mid ages Anime with a Cirque de Soleil and a clown show- with the designs I just can’t take the game seriously. It’s a shame, I love FE, but the last solid game I really enjoyed was Awakening. 3houses was solid, but too stretched out and the fights were too long sometimes for my tastes-which I thought would be better in here- more intimate, intense game, but the visuals are a big turnoff for me:/
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Engage - Relationships Get Sidelined By A Thrilling Combat-First Focus
The game might be fun but for me personally the childish punk design of some characters is a huge turnoff. I liked far more the more adult tone of FE Awakenings, and I cant take the game seriously. Imagine Gandalf with pink and blue hair- even if he is the grand wizard, the ridiculous design would undermine his authority. It’s a shame, I know they tried to make the game different visually, to make it stand out, but for an older gamer and someone who has really loved the series, for previously mentioned reason this is a big disappointment and I will have to skip this release:( really sad!
Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
@johnvboy odyssey is a pure platformer- Ratchet is a third person action shooter, adventure with minor platooning so it’s not really comparable genre. I don’t think Nintendo has a single really polished TPS that’s my point. Well we can only hope they will release something great in this category. Regarding Mario- I actually liked 3D world maybe a little more than Odyssey- but both are amazing:)”
Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
@johnvboy maybe I didn’t say that well when I said Nintendo aims at kids-but the fact that most games have to be for all ages-it has to have a rating for kids, meaning there naturally has to be less mature content. Which doesn’t mean T rated games are not fun, and sure Sony also has to adapt to trends, so maybe I will say it differently-as I used to like 3rd person shooters for example, the only staple TPS on Switch is Splatoon, and on Sony you get MGS, Vanquish, Mass Effect, Last of Us. Switch has nothing except old RE games. So I can’t say for the entire Switch library there are no adult games let’s say, but for the genre I used to love( like Jet Force Gemini, RE4- both started on Nintendo platform, and now there is no legacy for older gamers like me- and in that regard, Splatoon looks too childish, but most importantly it’s focused on Online play. It’s sad for me, because Jet Force Gemini and Banjo Kazooie gave rise to Ratchet and Clank, but then Nintendo has not a single game, that could compete with that genre on Switch with such level of polish like Ratchet or Last of Us2. I am really just complaining, because I love my Switch, but I am just disappointed that I can’t play one of my fav genre on Switch-except for Cloud versions-which counts as nonexistent for me. I really hope Nintendo will cover its bases better, and I do appreciate how innovative Nintendo has always been- first analogue stick on a controller, first vibration features, first double screens, first speaker in the controller and touch controls(excluding pc mouse;), first motion controls, first 3D, first HD rumble-I know Nintendo should be celebrated in many regards as a king of gaming, but maybe they let the hardware gap go too far-and sorry to repeat myself, but the cloud gaming is really Nintendo just screwed all fans like me with the RE games and Kingdom Hearts( which I grew up with) so I am a bit bitter for that reason since if the system was just a tiny bit more powerful, we could get the ps4 versions at least-and no I don’t need ps5 graphics on the Switch, but I hope Nintendo fixes this. It doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the good things about Nintendo-that’s why I am a fan and I want Nintendo to rule again like during SNES and Gamecube.
Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
@johnvboy yeah good points, let’s hope the next Zelda won’t have any issues not being a between gen release focusing on Switch. I also agree that core gamers probably have multiple consoles or even pc, but that won’t make a big cut off the major consumers. Switch aims mostly at kids or core. Most parent don’t buy for their kids multiple consoles. Imagine that the best Zelda games sold only 3-8 million, BOTW sold like 26M ( not sure it counts WiiU) anyways if we consider that large number of the near 30M is the Core-which I would assume would be like a third of it in relation to previous Zelda sales-like TP sold only 8-9M and that one of the most popular Zelda titles, there is a high chance that the players who played previous Zelda are longer term fans, and the 20M are new players. Anyways, Switch sold around 120 million units- the core might be not even 10%, and that a lot more consumers that don’t focus on first party but want a portable system that also runs solid third party. To complement Nintendo- Doom Eternal was phenomenal and with gyro it was more fun to me than the ps4 version. So thats also a proof that Nintendo knows they need the best third party games- since software sales are what counts, not the consoles. So if people are not completely happy with only 1 system- then most consumers will end up the games that look better( saying most, not all of course), so Nintendo cannot really ignore this. I am not demanding in terms of power but things must be on some level so the console is relevant for developers. Let’s just hope that Nintendo will make the right call and release the new system when it the right time. I would be quite happy if the new system is home console only and the switch could just become its accessory:) how about you, would you prefer a more powerful handheld, or a home console?
Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
@johnvboy I understand, thanks for clarification. Well not everyone can buy both consoles-and even two portable ones-Switch and Steamdeck for example. So I feel even though you are correct, and some people buy third party on another console, there is still a large amount of people with only one platform who would like to play 3rd party on handheld Switch. I feel 3rd party shouldn’t be a privilege-it has always been there since N64-but the tech gap is just quite increasing. Anyways to your first point, remember BOTW the great Deku tree/ Master Sword area- the frame rate was terrible. Also most recently Bayonetta 3, which was really disappointing because I love Platinum games and Bayonetta for the most part, and honestly so many sacrifices had been made:( chinese wall level has textures like from N64, super low res effects-maybe no effects at all would make it looked more polished, and regarding some 3rd party-Mortal Kombat also had some full backgrounds missing, and more. I think some games are still fun, but I feel the 15gb limit for the games also decreases what the devs can put in the game because they don’t want to sell 30gb cartridges just 15gb. But I won’t nitpick-most 3rd party are fine with some exceptions, but the cloud is inexcusable for me, the audience is huge and Nintendo fans being given a lame cloud version?! Anyways, I love my Switch, but I wish I could have some of my favorites on it-which are missing- all ps3 gen. I think in some instances more power can really help-not for prettier graphics, but more distant textures load better so that’s essential for shooting games and sniping for example. 30fps is fine but 60fps gives you more frames for your response time so it actually is more fluid-which is not necessary for all games but at least for some.
Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
@johnvboy I think you didn’t focus on the main part of my message because maybe like you I also hate mid gen updates, but I wanted to express the lifecycle of Sony and Nintendo didn’t try to stay on par in some regards because it’s not about graphics, but about being just able to coexist within a market in a feasible way. All I am saying is if Nintendo can’t even bring ps4 degraded versions of games and the only thing we can get are some lame cloud versions, that’s an issue for most gamers right there! I don’t care for lead gen graphics, but Switch can’t properly run its first party games even! I wish it wasn’t the case-I love my switch, but how many even ps3 ports were not brought over and ps3 is a 2006 console! Nintendo can’t ignore 3rd party games- and already this generation, we couldn’t get Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2- now even the cartridge size is becoming an issue, then amazing resident evil 2/3 remakes, REVII and VIII all cloud, because Switch can’t run this-but ps4 can! No Mass Effect- ps3, no Vanquish-because it 60fps fast action and we couldn’t get the remaster/even though we could get the ps3 maybe, also no Batman Arkham games(ps3/4), and more. So if Switch was at least on par with ps4, there is no need to make custom ports for Switch and both markets get the same version, and NO CLOUD! In this regard, Nintendo fans suffer, because they can’t play these games- Nintendo Switch is foremost a portable system and any Cloud version just doesn’t make sense to even bring to this console.
Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
@blindsquarel If a console has to sacrifice quality of its own exclusives because the system can’t handle it, then it’s not about if it feels old, it’s about being up to par with what’s needed. In those regards, yes Switch needs an upgrade, and even more so when the competition already released 2 hardware improvements in its lifecycle( Ps4 Pro, And ps5) and we have a Steam Deck and many others-which Switch can’t hold up to. I don’t need Switch to be the most powerful console, but if even BOTW-a system release title has hickups, then I buy a super anticipated game like Bayo 3 and the Special Edition, and the game has big issues because of the underpowered hardware- then I am mad. Also the consoles need to run 3rd party games-Switch won’t be able to run degraded ps5 games, and more demanding games are just ported via Cloud because Switch can’t natively run ps4 version of games( a ps4 that’s pretty old now)!!!! And Switch owners get miserable Cloud versions?!!!!! That’s what I feel is wrong and in such regard the Switch doesn’t feel old, but urgently needs a serious hardware upgrade!!!!!!!!

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally
@ClaytThaGreat definitely isn’t- it’s more convenient I can agree on that. Once you involve the economic side of things and sharing, then how can that be?! You can share your account only with 1 person, can you lend it to someone else, No can’t do! Or can you sell it-also can’t- ownership is locked with your account and the duration of the server- so once you lose the switch or two and the server is gone, you lose all your games. I hope you understand the long term benefits of having physical media. I switched to mostly digital for some time, but all these negatives bring me back to physical again. Also, if you remember offline consoles, all releases were mostly flawless, and as I mentioned before, the biggest downside of eliminating physical media is that companies will get even lazier because they can patch their games anytime and release them in any condition. Before, there were no patches and updates, the game had to be properly tested before release, and the industry was just more disciplined and delivered complete products. Now games are so much about profit that companies push deadlines to make money for holidays, that they ignore what state the game will release in. So your opinion is important and people around you too, because we all impact the global market and shape it. You can disagree with me if what you care most for is comfort and not quality of releases, economic side of things, having life long ownership, etc, because that will all degrade drastically if consumers allow physical media to disappear. We might get them to a point where only a few companies release physical games, and there won’t be enough for all who want it-like Limited Run games and I hope that won’t happen. Even ps4/5 games are becoming a problem, because the disc serves mostly just for the license and without a download you can’t play the game, which I think is terrible. Anyway, have a great weekend!
Re: Nintendo Provides A Look At Switch's Games Line-Up For 2023
We need at least Metroid Prime trilogy, I can wait for 4 if they polish it- and even prefer to get it on new Nintendo Hardware so it looks at least on par with ps4 pro graphics. I would be happy for more ports- still no idea why old games like Mass Effect, Batman Arkham games, Vanquish... are not on Switch- most of those were on the Wii U, and these are all ps3 games!!!! Also we need more GameCube titles! F Zero GX, Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, AND ZELDA'S, AND LITTLE DREAM: MGS Twin Snakes:)

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally
@Picola-Wicola exactly that’s the issue! There is no way to back up a big library unless you have a ton of cash extra to buy a few more momory cards. So once the server is down, you can never redownload the games you have already bought! Also digital games-you can’t share them with a friend, and can’t sell them if you want to. Way too many disadvantages. Also the price is the same, which is ridiculous. Digital only should be drastically cheaper, at least for the amount that the art box and cartridge cost. But as I mentioned, moving to only digital will further worsen the quality of releases because they can release unfinished games and keep fixing them after release, which would never happen if it was only physical release.
Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally
Not a single serious gamer I know would ever prefer digital games! You can’t share them, and what happens when they close down the servers like with 3DS and Wii?! You lose all the games. Cartridges last longer than discs! I have games since gameboy,n64- and I never had a single cartridge that would stop working. I there will be a gen of consoles that’s digital only, it’s over for collectors as well! Digital has bad influence on the industry- they got too used to making patches all the time and usually companies release unfinished products! Before, it had to be tested super well, and rarely there would be a game that got released and had serious issues liked games today! So physical release has to have a more polished form!
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Anime-Like Opening Cinematic Surfaces Online

Re: "We Could Make Nine Of Them" - Hideki Kamiya Doesn't Think Bayonetta Will End
Thanks for the insights on your end. I only mentioned GOW because it’s highly praised and it’s a hack and slash genre as well.
Anyway, I totally get you, the story is anime type of craziness, but I felt the first two had a deeper story than most people know because many don’t really pay attention to it. I thought the way the second game connected to the first was crazy and sad. I feel like each game has its own flavor. I liked the first the most for the atmosphere, second for gameplay and gore, and the third I just ended up really enjoying overall. I know the multiverse makes things strange to some, and it could be more polished, but I liked how Bayo experienced herself in other Multi verses and you got to see different sides to the characters. I also liked the references to other games- like the train demon and Wonderful 101, or summoning the Umbran tower, which was the most powerful place for all Umbras. Well maybe that’s just me.
With the gameplay side- I agree with you to some degree-I didn’t mind Viola, I liked her demon and she was clumsy because she is the daughter of Luka…, but my issue was during challenges and I feel I learned to enter the witch time well- but sometimes it lasted a second and just ended-that was my main issue. Regarding Bayo and her demons-after I learned that for each demon you can quickly enter two commands and then just control Bayo, and when you see that they are about to finish the second attack, you press the button to summon a demon-enter two more inputs and go back to Bayo, so this way you can juggle between Bayo and the demon and it’s a fun dance. I actually didn’t encounter that many situation where the camera was an issue. You can try what I suggested and maybe it will work for you.
It seems you like Hack and Slash so what are your top 3 games in the genre?
Re: "We Could Make Nine Of Them" - Hideki Kamiya Doesn't Think Bayonetta Will End
@FullMetalWesker I think that after playing games for like 32 years, I don’t need a game that’s a movie-like experience, if that’s what you prefer! I enjoy more games that are pure fun. Usually younger generations like the great graphics and usually get blinded by it, but look for instance what has changed gameplay wise between GOW2018 and Ragnarok- almost nothing- is for the most part a gameplay copy and paste scenario. Look at what has changed and what was added between Bayo 2 and 3. Bayo is more creative and more fun gaming experience. Ragnarok is a polished game, I am not saying it isn’t, but I am tired of games where you spend ages running around and a story that could be told within 15h is stretched to 40-50hours for the sake of making the game longer. If you like the story-great for you. Someone prefers direct story and all answers given, I prefer “Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind” over a story like Terminator. It’s simple and fun, but you should understand that majority of consumers today want products like Hollywood types of scripts and that ruins the industry because it’s all the same type of scenario development for large amount of products. Bayo is crazy weird, and I am sure the story would be more cohesive if they stretched it, but they tried to express way too much in too little time. Bayo3 is not a perfect game- I have my gripes with it too, but even seeing reviews-nobody complained about tech issues of Ragnarok- because it’s a staple series, it has more hype, better marketing, and nobody dares to say a word about it-and I experienced crazy slowdowns that made it unplayable- which never happened in Bayo3- but people complained like hell for some minor drops in frames. All I am saying, is that do we really want a word by word story telling with all the answers given, no need to think and have a visual blast, or is it also good to have weird crazy games that are simply more about fun, and where your mind can fill in the gaps. I really didn’t mean to attack Ragnarok, but I really had a blast with Bayo 3, and find it one of the most creative action hack and slash games out there along with Wonderful 101 and Astral Chain. I still feel, that GOW lost its charisma when you compare it to GOW1-3. Anyway, if you have a great time with any game, that’s great, but it’s good to defend a game, so we don’t get stuck in a product portfolio where nobody tries to do anything unique, and that’s what makes Bayo 3 stand out. It has its low points but the high points far outweigh the lows. I admit, GOW has better writing, better graphics, deeper characters, it is gory and cool, but it still doesn’t need to make a game more fun. Bayo is extravagant, sexy, pure fun, and crazy bold for pushing so many ideas into one game. Bayo3 really is a celebration of all action gaming-and that’s why it wins for many players. Anyways, there is no need to compare, we all have different lives, and sometime certain things just click better at certain stages of life for no reason so have fun!
Re: "We Could Make Nine Of Them" - Hideki Kamiya Doesn't Think Bayonetta Will End
@jrt87 if graphics is your issue than it’s not for you. If you care for gameplay, than this game is the most creative hack and slash out there and far more fun than God of War Ragnarok. If you read the log entries in B3 I think the villain being an Nano Machine AI that absorbs all knowledge and learns at unprecedented levels- and by being AI it’s growth through all AI’s it’s connected to is the very opposite of the world of Chaos! I find the villain to be quite a huge threat. This story is about thinking, not by being given every answer. It also super replayable. Each game in the trilogy also focuses on different part of Trinity- B1- Paradiso, B2 Inferno and B3 Chaos. It’s a great trilogy and the story is a trip if you give it a chance and think about it. I find GOW a chore, and for Bayo 3 a restarted as soon as I finished. Of course I wish levels like China had better textures and models, but the world was great- each multiverse explored different side of relationships among the main cast of characters, and all the awesome weapons and deamons make the game so replayable with bonus levels, and Witch trials. Really a gem among hack and slash.
Re: Review: Resident Evil 3 - Cloud Version - Disappointingly Constrained And Very Short
The only way I would buy a cloud game would be that Nintendo promises that these cloud versions will become downloadable on the next Nintendo console which will be able to play those games natively. Otherwise it’s a huge disappointment- Monster Hunter does so well with the RE Engine on Switch so it’s terrible to see them put Zero Effort to make it run on Switch- which they could easily do if Capcom wanted- this feels like a huge betrayal since Nintendo was the home to many RE games- RE4 was Gamecube Exclusive, RE Zero was GC only too, then RE1 Remake-another exclusive, RE Revelations… Anyway- even N64 has RE2 😂, so Shame on Capcom to treat Nintendo fans this way, when it’s community supported Capcom for like 25 years.

Re: Resident Evil 2, 3 And 7 Cloud Lock In Nintendo Switch Release Dates
@BabyYoda71 yeah that’s true, but Doom Eternal also released much later and still sold well. That’s why they make gaps between many old games releasing on home consoles and then much later for switch, because these greedy companies know that many people will buy it again portable. The real argument is still that it’s not a wise decision to release cloud version of the game, because even if they did soMe extra work to port it to Switch, many people would still more likely buy a real downloadable version, than a cloud. Switch has around 115M consoles sold! Far more than X box, so it’s just a missed opportunity and missed profits! The main thing is, if Doom E runs smooth on Switch- and it’s a far faster and action oriented game than RE VIII, they could easily port it. I think Nintendo should maybe clarify more about Cloud gaming- like for those who buy Cloud games- when Nintendo releases their next hardware-those users will be able to download the original version for free on next gen console- then I would consider.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3 And 7 Cloud Lock In Nintendo Switch Release Dates
