Actually I would love a Gary spin off. He deserves better

Its sad. Final Fantasy XIII sold over one million units on its first day of sale in Japan. Its not only that the franchise is in decline. I think first week sales reflects the franchise fatigue after all these disappointments. I mean FF13 sold like crazy in first week mostly using momentum and anticipation of excellent FF12. So low numbers reflect more the previous games shortcoming than FF7 Rebirth potential.

Hope they can do justice to KOTOR....

@Anti-Matter more AAA games mean more work opportunities for people, small indie games like Stardew Valley don't help employment.

I feel conflicted about Atlus, on one hand they are my favorite Japanese publisher, and on the other hand they are greedy as hell and offer no upgrade path. They even asked full price for Person 5 Royal 60 fps upgrade on PS5 even if you bought the game before. And it's a turned based game with visual novel elements, not a game that 60 fps over 30 make any huge difference.

Whats the point of putting 6 NBA2K games on the list. They are all basically the same game. With we had NBA Jam Fire Edition or an upgrade on Switch

Well the silver lining is that OG Switch will become the best selling console of all time. Lets wait and see

Where the heck did Reuters got the exclusive that the successor to Switch will likely include a new Nvidia custom design. That's insane!

Playstation's Portal 8 inch 1080p LCD panel is great. Switch 2 could use a 1080p panel even if more games still run at 720p. Joycons are part of the Switch appeal though, don't think that Nintendo will not try a new gimmick as selling point.
PS Vita was gimmick-free with OLED panel and still a major flop.

Persona 3 reloaded on PS Portal is like the first time i played P3P on PSP, such a great experience. I will say again competition is a good thing, hope Nintendo will release the new system this year

@bones according to reports FF7 Rebirth will require 150 GB of storage space to install

@Clyde_Radcliffe true, I preferred the original 4 levels in DK94

Not my cup of tea. Somehow the title "Mario Vs. Donkey Kong" makes me crave for a real DK (not country) remake

@BrazillianCara yeah wonder what version will be lagging more, Switch or PS5 on Portal

Tekken is a Japanese franchise, always surprises me how poorly its received there...It's big in west. I mean even Pokken tournament only sold like 300k in Japan

Switch was a huge upgrade from 240p of 3DS. Now most casual gamers wont pay $400 for 60 FPS games while they are still having fun with Switch 1. I'm expecting another gimmick from Nintendo as selling point.

I wouldn't care if there was no cartridges at all on Switch 2, but I know I'm the minority here and that wouldn't sell well even now in Japan (they still remember PSPgo fiasco)

Its a novelty item. It's for people that want to show off a $400 backpack and can afford it. Actually it doesn't look half bad. I would pay $40 for it. People are willing to pay $500 for some of the sleeker vintage Sony Cassette Walkmans cause they look cool. Its not about functionality

What is this? Nintendo fan fiction?

Golden Sun may be the best looking GBA game, I was really impressed by it back in the day. It still looks much better in a modded GBA with IPSv2 than these screenshots. Wonder how hard would be to just remaster it.

@JibberX Agree, they should put an expansion slot like PS5 or Xbox and let us pay for NVMe

An OLED Switch 2 with NVMe SSD will cost over $600, I would be fine with it but I don't think Nintendo will go that direction. We already have a pretty good estimate about the specs (check Digital Foundry) so main questions are about compatibility and how to make a smooth transition

Switch may be underpowered but so -and much more so- was Gameboy, and it had a 14 years lifespan. If sales aren't slowing down -not much anyway- why not wait till the end of 2025 to introduce Switch 2? Still hope for a release this year

Nice, Master Chief collection next?

That's only $350.000 that's peanuts for such a huge company. It's like me giving 1$, hardly worth to make headlines.

I didn't grow up playing Atari games. I would be very interested in Amiga modern takes though!

Only good thing he said is that it's coming this year. Biggest question for me is if games will have some upgrade path or we will have to pay full price to play digitally these games on switch 2

Japan was a pioneer on electronics cause its ability to combine tradition with technology. I'm fan of Square and I'm a little sad that my favorite franchise Final Fantasy isn't as popular as it used to be. AI can be a very powerful tool but nothing can replace great artists, storytelling, talent and manual graphic design.

He's already on a more behind the scenes laid back role, so he acts more like a consultant and a mascot. Guess he still likes to contributes and he's humble enough to admits that Nintendo probably wouldn't change much without him

Why they just don't remaster Tokimeki Memorial 4 on English? Not fan of girls side. The PSP game is interesting (you can watch the anime promo). and never got a fan translation in English.

I'm not sure how representative are boxed charts anymore. How much of total market share it is? I'm sure Xbox is selling more FIFA than Switch on digital format.

GTA V was originally released on PS3 so I'm sure they could make a Switch version of it, even based on PS4 version with some downscaling. Skipping last gen don't mean that Switch 2 (a mobile console that's expected to be as powerful as PS4 but with modern architecture) won't be able to run a port of GTA VI. Lets wait and see

It really surprise me that people still using yahoo as search engine...miss Lycos top 50 trends...DragonballZ was always high on that list

Just bring Diablo IV, Forza Horizon and Elder Scrolls

Well I'm already subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate (rarely play though) so I wouldn't mind. But Nintendo would never allow it while so many people are willing to pay full price for their first party games.

Guess KOTOR Remake was cancelled by a 'Third Party' too cause it was total crap. Aspyr did a decent job handling the KOTOR 2 release on PC, guess it lost the ball after this

That's why he delayed Half Life 3 indefinitely

I like Hollow Knight but it's hard. I'm really bad player and my progress is pretty slow! So I'm not sure I'm gonna pick it up

The only supergame Sega released after Dreamcast disaster came from Atlus

Oh no Pikachu . Not fan of the spin off but its always sad when our little yellow friend isn't doing too well

Didn't expect that drop in hardware PS5 sales. Maybe they should introduce a Japanese Spiderman Yasu Kashiraki.

They should offer what competition offers... Purchases transfer to next gen and also get next gen upgrades (60fps, hight resolution). I would be fine paying 5 or 10€ for upgrades but not full price.

I lost my original one and all my cartridges...(mom must throw it out something). Got a modded GBC with IPS v.2 now though, so. great. I don't FOMO not having Analogue Pocket, just a little

Only thing that bothers me with this great game is that they wouldn't release it if Switch 2 was just around the corner. This can easily get upscaled to 1440p/4k next gen.

Hope Nintendo's Karen will crash another party with her Switch 2

@croz Halo is the flagship Xbox IP, even if its at decline. Even so I'm pretty sure they could work something out if Nintendo offer them Splatoon 3 on Xbox though but knowing Nintendo it will never happen

Wait for reviews before you order, it may be a disaster like MK1, ok it's not a fighting game and can get away with some occasional drops but I'm really skeptical if the hardware can handle this

Does Bowser wins at the end? Oh, I don't want to know

So he was in a coma all along, after the attack from Sparrows?

@Truegamer79 Invincible (Omni-man) isn't that well known but you should really watch the animation. Its better than 95% of super hero adaptations.

I would be ok with just 60hz refresh rate. Anything over dreadful 240p resolution of 3ds is welcome.
