Very excited for Prime 4 but equally for Pikmin 4. When he said that in 2015, could he have been talking about that awful 3DS Pikmin game they put out? Replaying Pikmin 3 on the wii u with my son and I forgot how magical it can be.
Realistic ports (because they were on 360/ps3) from this list I've been begging for on Switch: Bioshock trilogy, Mass Effect trilogy, Persona 5, GTA V. My biggest request is Fallout 4. I'd love to explore that more in handheld form... but would settle for Fallout 3.
Day 1 purchase. My Switch is becoming a strategy machine (heavy rotation: Into the Breach, Valkyrie Chronicles 1, Civ 6, Kingdom Two Crowns). Keeping me from my 5 rpgs I want to finish. Need moooore time!
I've had Persona 5 on the PS4 from an ebay win.... but avoided playing it. It starts out amazing, but after research on the length to beat, I can tell it's a game I'll want to take my time on and play for half a year.... perfect for the SWITCH, not stuck in front of my TV.
That trailer's gameplay is very misleading. Been watching a bunch of gameplay and the draw distance and popping looks horrendous. Love the premise, but I think this might be one of those rushed port jobs.
Absolutely heartbroken. It's the only remaster I've wanted since the Wii U.... I hope they're just batting away speculation to retain their surprise plans. Eiji would be in so much trouble if he weren't a Nintendo god.
I’ve been waiting for this to be announced since I heard of the Switch. I bought a Wii version for my Wii U and loved the story and style, but couldn’t get into the motion controls and bad definition. Would absolutely love to start over with an HD handheld version.
@Heavyarms55 thank you. I totally agree with your comment (and edit portion too). This review score is out of line. I’m enjoying the hell out of this game and I’d never have experienced it if this review came out Day 1 and scared me away.
If they want to revitalize Splatoon 2, and have everyone hop on... make a BATTLE ROYAL mode. It would be so original from the others since it would be more arena focused, and you'd have to leave a paint trail of yourself. Maybe they could introduce a secondary weapon that erases your paint to hide your footsteps. Imagine dropping in and hunting down for elite splatoon weapons, so much variety to litter a map!
Throughout my gaming life, the CIV series ate up the most of my hours. You can start at an hour session at 10pm, and look to find its 3am. This is going to be so dangerous and fun on the Switch.
I've owned every Smash game. There was genuine excitement when a new one came out; new feel, new fighters (much more variety from last).... this has better graphics than the Wii U but it seems like the same thing.... just enhanced engine and adjustments to stats (like a patch). I bought all the DLC for Smash Wii U, so this feels just like that experience; a few new stages, couple new fighters... Won't know for sure until I play, but I can't lie to myself, I'm not excited.
This is the first time Im finding a NL review to be way off. Theres no way Little Nightmares deserves a 6. Its a shame because it will drive off curious players who only scroll down to the score. With the load times, this is easily an 8, if not higher. If you liked Inside or any immersive headphone experience, get this for sure.
I'm not a graphics snob so this looks amazing to me. I hear it's a great fps adventure so it's a day one purchase. Hurry it up! (also held off from PS4 version for Switch)
@daebiya p.s. for people on the fence about this game, I wasn't too interested 10 hours in... and that's about the length of most games. But I stuck with it, mastered the combat, and it's truly one of the best RPG experiences I've ever had (and I'm a Bethesda kind of RPG fan).
Just finished it! Got it Dec 01 - April 01. Played at my own pace, usually at 3 hour intervals between a lot of indie games. 82 hours, light on side quests but did get Poppi's 3rd form. Is there a Nintendo Life discussion board about the end game?
I bought this on a gamble when it released because of the art style, but was blown away by the world and tension in every location. The limited amount of ammo and resources makes me think and sweat more than I did in the last few Resident Evils and survivor games I've played.
I really hope that the new area isn't a deep dungeon, but a flashback to Hyrule Castle Town... can you imagine if the entire map was transformed to before the war? All the ruins are back to functioning gates, and outposts... that'd be huge!

If Persona 5 isn’t announced for Switch than this is a terrible choice.

Re: id Software Evaluating If Rage 2 Would Be Possible On Switch
I would love a new open world on the switch, but if Panic Button can pull this off, why not Fallout 4 or the Witcher 3!

Never played Limbo, but INSIDE is one of the best world-discovery narratives I've ever played.
