I have a backlog of approx. 20 switch games (most are rpgs), at the rate I’m clearing them it will be another 5 years. So I’m in no rush for the next console. It would be nice to get a resolution upgrade and battery life boost from a new console. But unless the launch titles for the new console are amazing I’ll be holding off for a little while for a good deal or limited edition console.
I really liked the Wii U, the games were very good but the consoles hardware was awful. For example the game pad was too heavy, its battery sucked, its screen resolution sucked, its communication range sucked and you always had to use it even if the game didn’t need it. Its online account sucked but Miiverse was cool though. The transfer of Wii games was handled terribly too… so many things were poorly implemented.
Sonic Adventure 3 confirmed, it will be an open world game with Sonic 2 aesthetic and will let you run around death egg whilst freeing small animals. $$$$.
Top and bottom USB C, improved ergonomics, OLED screen, 6-10 hour battery, allow 3rd party controllers to turn on the console, reduce dock size and launch with new Metroid Prime and Fire Emblem 776 included free with every console.
GBC could play GB. GBA could play GB/GBC. DS could play GBA. 3DS could play DS. Switch couldn’t play 3DS.
They have already broken the trend of keeping their portables backwards compatible. If they do allow switch games to be played it will be digital only which will be a massive disappointment.
It’s a great game, glad it’s not locked on the DS for those that missed out first time around but I’m happy to skip this as I have the DS original. I personally think it still plays and looks awesome on my DSi XL!!!
This game is a long one… wondering what improvements they’ve done to the dungeons? Don’t think I’d be able to play this without portability, hopefully a version comes to switch.
Maybe this is like what Nintendo did with Metroid 2 and Dread, e.g., hand over a classic franchise to an okay developer as chance to get accustomed first before they then go ahead and produce a new entry? I hope so, but I won’t be getting this as it’s too expensive for little to no improvement over the fantastic GBA/DS games.
Shame it’s a good game overall, but I have it on GameCube and therefore was not too interested. There are too many games to play nowadays to revisit poor quality remakes/remasters.
Not completely wrong (and you won’t convince me otherwise 🤣) because it is still the same game at its core and is not worth £50 regardless of number of songs added.
Doesn’t seem there’s much incentive to get this over the 3DS version? Literally sounds like it’s the same game… probably give this one a miss unless I see it going for cheap.
So much better on a PC emulator! Corporate greed made us wait years for a re-release and it is limited to online services that will be switched off in approx 5 years. Also NSO 4:3 boarders suck, we need the option to turn on a solid black background and switch off the player icon!
@Serpenterror I literally own every Ogre game produced, normally I’d be buying this day one, but I just can’t see what value HD brings on this one, this game already looks awesome on psp and vita.
It’s hard to find distraction free time to sit a play a 80+ hour jrpg on the TV. Very happy to finally be able to play P5 portable. 30 fps on a stylised anime turn based life sim is perfectly fine… Resolution is decent and looks good on the OLED screen very playable.
These DF videos have always been a bit pointless, I could understand the purpose of these videos better if they compared pc graphics but they are comparing consoles which are technically out of date before they launch…

No remakes, just make a new game.

Re: Soapbox: 20 Years On, It's About Time These Pokémon Games Got Switch Remasters
The GC Games are at best a 6/10, time and money should be spent elsewhere.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES & Game Boy Library With Three More Classics
@Bass_X0 I know… but it does 😂
Re: Twitch "Ending Support" For Its Switch App Early Next Year
Honestly, it’s been refreshing not having the consoles UI full of junk apps. Hope they keep this approach for the next device.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES & Game Boy Library With Three More Classics
NSO still has that awful border and Mii logo which makes impossible to play these games…
Re: Talking Point: Along With Joy-Con Drift, What Does Nintendo Have To 'Fix' With 'Switch 2'?

@nhSnork, it’s a pretty big screen 🤪 enjoy wasting your money on ports 😂
Re: Retro-Inspired Indie Sea Of Stars Receives A New Switch Update
Played the first hour, was bored to death…
Re: Nintendo Accounts To "Help Ease" Next-Gen Transition, According To Doug Bowser
GBC could play GB.
GBA could play GB/GBC.
DS could play GBA.
3DS could play DS.
Switch couldn’t play 3DS.

Re: Xbox Boss Wants Nintendo Fans To Feel "100% Part Of The Call Of Duty Nation"
What about halo 1 to 3 on switch instead?
Re: Poll: Pikmin 1+2 Scores A Physical Switch Release This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
I have the GC and Wii versions so won’t be picking these up, 3 and 4 is more than enough on switch!
Re: Video: Mario Vs. Donkey Kong Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & GBA)
This is a good game but I think they should have remade Donkey Kong (GB) to the same level of effort as Links Awakening. I’d buy that in an instant.
Re: Nintendo Is "Evolving" Into An Entertainment Company, According To Doug Bowser
Can’t wait for the Nintendo streaming service… /s
Re: Stunning RTS Adventure '13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim' Continues To Be A Sales Hit For Vanillaware
It’s a great game, well deserved.
Re: Talking Point: Would A Third Wave Of Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Have Been Too Much?
Smash needs a ten year break, then bring it back refreshed with a new line up.

I’m waiting for the SNES to come back…

Yeah sure! You get to keep your account but will have to buy all your games again
Re: Review: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective - A DS All-Timer Returns In Stunning Form

Re: Video: Unboxing The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED
Looks okay, but not as good as the dragon quest edition.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp?
Maybe this is like what Nintendo did with Metroid 2 and Dread, e.g., hand over a classic franchise to an okay developer as chance to get accustomed first before they then go ahead and produce a new entry?

Re: The Pathless Scores 'Exclusive Edition' Physical Release On Nintendo Switch
There’s no way the switch version graphics look as good as the trailer?
Re: Review: Tales of Symphonia Remastered - A GameCube Classic That Shows Its Age On Switch
Shame it’s a good game overall, but I have it on GameCube and therefore was not too interested. There are too many games to play nowadays to revisit poor quality remakes/remasters.
Re: Hands On: Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Feels Like A Perfectly Tuned Final Fantasy Celebration
Nope. I’ll get this when it’s bargain bin prices.

Re: Hands On: Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Feels Like A Perfectly Tuned Final Fantasy Celebration
@JeoyTS my point still stands, it’s the same game. 164 is less new content than the original. What’s new to the gameplay?
Re: Hands On: Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Feels Like A Perfectly Tuned Final Fantasy Celebration
Doesn’t seem there’s much incentive to get this over the 3DS version? Literally sounds like it’s the same game… probably give this one a miss unless I see it going for cheap.
Re: Round Up: Here's What Switch Online Players Think Of GoldenEye 007 So Far
So much better on a PC emulator! Corporate greed made us wait years for a re-release and it is limited to online services that will be switched off in approx 5 years. Also NSO 4:3 boarders suck, we need the option to turn on a solid black background and switch off the player icon!

Straight to landfill.

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Characters - Every New And Returning Hero Revealed So Far
Not convinced by the art style on this one, hopefully gameplay is decent.

Black wallpaper in the retro apps to allow distraction free gaming.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Tactics Ogre: Reborn
Price is silly for just an upscale of the psp game…
Re: Front Mission 1st: Remake Will Have Both 'Classic' And 'Modern' Modes
I’ll stick with the DS version, so far doesn’t look good enough to warrant the price tag.

Re: Treasure Is Apparently Working On A "Highly Requested" Title
A collection of HD remasters would be nice. But a brand new shooter would be cool too.
Re: Tactics Ogre: Reborn Leaks, But Only On PlayStation For Now
This is just a re-release of the psp version. I believe the art work is taken from that game.
Re: Feature: Sonic The Hedgehog Compilations - Every Sonic Collection Before Sonic Origins
Why is sonic being promoted so many times on this site? There’s been 1 decent game in the 28 years since Sonic and Knuckles…
