Obligatory "Where's Gradius IV"! Where's Gradius IV?!

I'll totally pick this one up when it comes out. The Doodle series has always been one of my guilty pleasures in gaming, so it'll be nice to get another one on Switch, after Mafia and God/the weird alternate version of Doodle Farm. Now where's Kingdom, Creatures, and Tanks, so that we can have the full lineage on Switch?

When you think about it, is there any reason why valve games on the Switch are impossible? Valve games are on the Xbox One's backwards compatibility, so Valve doesn't have a problem with their classic games being on modern platforms, and Portal Bridge Constructer is on Switch, so Valve doesn't have a problem with their properties showing up on Nintendo platforms. I also doubt that any of the major porting studios would turn down the chance to work with Valve franchises if they were given it, considering how popular most of their games are. Even if Valve just doesn't want any new ports of their games, there's no feasible reason why we couldn't at least get Black Mesa on the Switch.

@ObeseChihuahua2 Neither of the 3DS games made heavy use of the touchscreen. Link Between Worlds only used it for inventory navigation, and Tri-Force Heroes only used it for emotes.

Ok, since they're apparently in such a good spot on the Switch, can we get more of their back catalog now? Rayman 1 - Origins, Beyond Good and Evil, AC Desmond Saga/Unity & Syndicate, any Far Cry game, Watch Dogs 1 & 2, any Prince of Persia game, I'd happily buy all of these games on Switch, but none of them are there.

My thoughts on this are that if you have a pre-order, I couldn't care less about whether or not you download it. If you don't have a pre-order, its piracy, just like any other game, if you make videos about it with spoiler free thumbnails and titles, its still kind of meh, but I can live with them existing, but if you do put spoilers in the title or thumbnail, that's when it goes too far. If people want to watch a video about the leak, let them, but if they don't, don't ruin their experience, otherwise (word not allowed on this site) you.
@Tasuki The Youtube recommended section still exists, and it isn't kind to those avoiding spoilers.

God, can we please just get the thing, alongside a partner direct for "Games enhanced on Super Switch"? We might finally get some modern games from Square or Capcom at that point, which would make me so happy.

I've never really been a fan of 2D Mario games. They always seem a bit generic compared to anything else that's out there, to the point where the only 2D Mario that I've been able to complete was World on the SNES, and that was more out of obligation than anything. I'd play Kirby or Sonic or Mega Man any day, but 2D Mario just seems bland to me.

Is it just me, or do these look like those weird Yo-Kai Watch disks that were floating around a few years back? Those are the only things I think of when I see these.
Edit: Also, the person who designed these must a huge fan of Lapras. There were 6 of them that I saw, more than any other Pokemon for the set. I just find it weird that they'd be pushing Lapras, of all Pokemon.

@nessisonett Yeah. I still don't get how I'm supposed to be able to beat the superbosses without ludicrous amounts of grinding, though. Those things could easily wipe out my party after all of the grinding, so I can't even imagine how much worse it would be without the grinding.

@nessisonett Except for when you're using Retroachievements, which requires that you max out every job for every character for a specific achievement. Plus, even with fully maxed out jobs and everyone at level 99, I still had a good amount of trouble with Omega Mk. II and Neo Shinryu. My main issue was just that I decided to grind in the 2nd world (I was trying to go in spoiler free, so I didn't know that movers gave ludicrous amounts of AP), so I just got screwed over there. Its completely my fault that it did take that long, but that doesn't help the superbosses being so hard.

I'm fine with grinding, but only to a certain extent. I just finished FF5 Advance, and I ended up having spent 115 hours on that save just to have a chance at beating the true superbosses. I'd be fine if it was half that length, but when you get to over 100 hours, 50 of which were due to grinding, that's a bit too much. Then again, that's partially my fault for grinding too early, but the point still stands that that's way too slow.
Edit: One thing I forgot to mention: Grinding a new party member from a low level when the rest of your party is all at very high levels is the best feeling an RPG can give. I love seeing a party member gain 20+ levels in one battle, it just feels so good.

No matter how many characters they add, it won't replace Clone Wars. God, can we please just get a full game based on the RTS sections from Clone Wars. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

@NPC411 Especially when they removed the FS minigame from DQ3 for its port. I know that it was single player, but at least it existed there.

@Beaucine It's not really even a puzzle game, its more a rail shooter than anything. It might be a more puzzle based rail shooter, but its still a rail shooter.

I'm definitely picking it up day one, I even have it pre-ordered. Bowser's Fury looks like the best non-linear Mario experience since 64, and 3D World is the best linear Mario Experience since the original World on the SNES, so I don't have a question in my mind about whether or not I want this one. The only things that could make this better would be the ability to freely swim to any island at any point, more, bigger islands with more stars on each of them, and more level variety than (assumedly) cat themed islands, but the latter two would require that it was a standalone game, which it obviously isn't. It even looks like we might have a blue coin substitute, which is just the icing on the cake here, since (in my opinion) blue coins were an amazing idea, but just weren't executed that well.

@FluffiestP1llow The Legend of Melia: A Shulk to the Past, now available for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Do we know who's doing the port? I know Panic Button did the Ps4 port of Subnautica, so I would think that they'd do the switch port as well, but I'm not sure. Either way, so excited for these two to finally come to the Switch.

God, I'm excited about this. This feels like we'll finally get somewhere close to the freedom of 64, even if the islands are still laid out in a linear order. This is the most excited I've ever been about a mario game, so I hope that its what they're making it out to be.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! This makes me so happy, randomizers are my favorite part about these kinds of games, so another one is always amazing!

In the immortal words of some gta game "Aww s***, here we go again."

I hate that they revoked the ability to give a free game if you already have a different game. At least they didn't remove the functionality entirely.

For me, I just want Marvel 2. Gradius 4 and the Sega backlog would be really nice, but everything else is just a bonus for me if we can get Marvel 2.

I definitely fall into the collector category, although I try to play at least some of the games that I play. Part of my collection is feeling a bit guilty about emulating games that I don't own, especially with ones that I really liked, another part is games that I just really want to own, and the rest is mainly oddities that I might eventually play, but don't plan on playing anytime soon. The only big annoyance about actually playing them, though, is how many re-releases were on the PSP, which I'm not just going to buy for re-releases of Persona and Metal Gear games, plus FF4 Interlude, despite that probably being the only platform that they exist on that I would actually play them on. God, can we please get Metal Gear and Persona on Switch.

Now can we get the old Lego Star Wars games? I would kill for a port of Clone Wars on the Switch.

It's weird seeing comments from 2010, and looking at how long its been since some of these people have posted.

I picked up the 1 game that I was planning to get at this sale, Mr. Driller, at Christmas, so I'm fine. Seeing the Naruto trilogy at $20 always hurts me a bit, though. I need to pick those up sometime.

Really, again? Why couldn't they have just gotten some source code and been done? I'd love to be able to see some of their games' code, but they had to steal login info, so we all get screwed in the end.

@GrailUK I would kill for that to happen. I would adore Metal Gear, non-linear Castlevanias, Goemon, Suidoken, Adventure Island, Bonk, and especially the Konami WiiWare games on Switch, and with Konami seeming taking an actual interest in the industry again, those might finally happen.

And I'll just sit here and wait for Romancing SaGa 1 to come to the switch, now that I've done my part and bought the collection.

Now where's Fukkatsu? God, Gradius 4 is the one that I want to play.

God, I love when when NGPC games randomly show up. Now where's Sonic?!

I usually don't like these kinds of Deck Builders, but I trust anything from the same guy as VVVVVV (Probably my most played indie of all time), so I'll pick it up eventually.

Oh, come on already Squeenix, where's Final Fantasy 1 - 6. This will still probably be fun, and I'll still probably buy it, assuming that this means something, but the stalling on those games is starting to get really annoying.

Is this the one with Wario's origin story? If so, I might take a look. Otherwise, I probably won't pick it up for a few years.

Finally! The Switch has always seemed like it would be the perfect device to stream on, but I just never really stuck with Hulu, so maybe this will be better. I'd love to be able to finally binge DBZ on my Switch.

@javiboy2 As long as I can watch free with ads, I'll be fine. If VRV can live without a paywall, Funimation can.

I have one wish for the anniversary. Ancient Stone Tablets and the Zelda 1 remake for SNES online. Please, Nintendo, let us play those games.

I'm predicting something to do with Mother. I refuse to belive that the Hibonichi Mother Project wasn't leading up to to some sort of announcement, wheather that be of ports or remakes.

Also predicting that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will get a port announced, why would Capcom have planned for it to be at EVO if you couldn't buy the game while supporting them?

Other than those and a Smash reveal, it will probably be garbage.

I'm sorry, but this will always be the first thing that I think of when I think of Zelda Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ZAVR_np3E

I'm on my 2nd 1 terrabyte micro sd card, and this kind of stuff is the reason why. I'm fine with it being large, but this is almost the size of FF10/10-2, and that's kind of ridiculous.

OH. ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME? NOW THEY ACKNOWLEDGE MEGA MAN AND BASS? SCREW YOU CAPCOM.

For everyone complaining about Rare Replay not being on Switch, I doubt that Microsoft is to blame here. If I've picked up on anything about MS in the past few years, its that RR isn't coming because Phil Spencer wants Goldeneye and Diddy Kong Racing on all platforms for any new ports of RR, and Nintendo probably won't let DKR on to MS platforms.

Please say that this is real. NeiR Automata is the only current gen game that I care about that hasn't been actively deconfirmed, so Replicant coming over would at least give me a small amount of hope.

2D. LTTP and LBW are my two favorite games in the franchise, and I don't particularly like OOT or Wind Waker (the only 2 3D Zeldas I've played).

Gradius 3 would be nice, but why does nobody think of Gradius 4? I'd love that one on the switch more than 3.

We have the Utada songs, so I'm happy. No Face my Fears or Dearly Beloved hurts, though.

GOD DAMN IT! We could have gotten betas and protos and stuff out of this, but, of course, people are people, so this happens instead.

Show me 4 - 9 in any way, and I'll be happy. DQ 1 and 3 are 2 of the only RPGs in recent memory that I've been able to beat, so it'd be really nice to be able to play the rest of the series on Switch.

@TG16_IS_BAE I know. I'd kill for any of the mainline games (especially Scarlet Devil) on Switch.

I'm fine with Galaxy not being at #1. At least in my opinion, SMG is maybe an 8/10 at most, and feeling more like a 7. Before Luigi, I probably would have shifted it down to 7 max, feeling more like a 6. The game just feels like it can't decide whether it wants to be a sandbox, or a course clear. This video sums it up nicely: https://youtu.be/IxCyq4c07hI
