I honestly don't see the point in the article. 4k HDMI cables are more mass produced and more standard and so probably cheaper for them to buy in mass quantities and the same goes for the HDMI port itself. The old non 4k ones may not even be in production now and Nintendo is still a decade behind everyone else.

So the only news here is Nintendo's tech is outdated so the only option is for current generation parts.

@wanghosom I think I agree haha. Its horrific they take such a huge cut for doing nothing. Although thats pretty much Apple in a nutshell. Do bare minimum and and money.

Let's all be honest here. As much as im excited for this i would be far more excited if it was on any other system other than the Switch.

Bayonetta is such a fast paced high octane game and being on another system in 60FPS an 4k would really bring this game to life. Not saying it will be bad on Switch im just saying we know the Switch wont do it justice.

@Crockin Honestly though it just feels like lazy writing in some reviews and gets way over used. Its also been used to hurt a games chances before too.
As another reply said to me comment, how many times have we seen "Souls like" using used? Some developers even disliked it because it made them sound like a copy cat and devalued the work they put in.

We don't do it with anything else. If a new horror FPS comes out we dont call it a Doom-like.
We dont see a new racing game and call it a Gran Turismo-Like.

It looks amazing but why headline it as a Zelda Like game??? Its just a genre. What is it with writers having to compare everything.

New Nintendo Switch Joycon with Drift+ Tech. Same control more of that great drift we refuse to admit exists.

Also...what if its an N64 controller? They did NES and SNES for the classics maybe they will announce N64 games and a N64 wireless controller???

Only took 4 years to add a feature that was requested day one that even the cheaper and most simple phones have had for a decade.....sounds like Nintendo to me

I'll still with using a TV thanks haha

This is why i get so mad when Nintendo attacks another ROM site. If Nintendo made the content available by legal means people would take that avenue. But at least 95% of Nintendo library just isn't available any other way.

@Zeldafanforever Its been so long i cant remember if i ever tried fishing haha. Im sure i must have but i gave up ages ok because of the money. I was loving the game until that.
That and the switch version was horrific.

@nessisonett They never really do. Countries fight for the Olympics but it just sends the country into a massive amount of debt. Happened to every single country.

@MailerBen Its good but there was a lot of annoying issues with it. Like trying to make money was a total pain in the ass. I got to a point where i had to build a huge machine but needed a bigger plot and it would have taken weeks of grinding to make enough money.

Of course it was GC haha. But one was missed..the alternate GC tone haha. Right shoulder i think?
The squeak haha

@johnvboy They dont care though. Fas have been asking for changes since the day the system launched and they haven't even attempted to make changes or updates.

Xbox is wayyy too cluttered for sure. But the majority of people have been pestering Nintendo for t least some basic QOL features and they haven't listened to anyone.
The eShop is also an utter disaster even 4 years on. It loads horrifical slow, the garbage floats to the top when good content is hidden.

It's pretty clear they dont listen or really care.

People seem excited for this but i kind of feel like they are missing something. Gamrboy games are made for a screw just a few inchs wide. When most people have 55" TVS or bigger..thats going to look horrific.

4 years and we haven't had a single update to the UI, that's pretty horrible. They even have themes in the settings..and its just black or white.
I love Nintendo but they have this major problem where after launch they just forget the hardware exists other than some basic patchs.

Meanwhile Xbox and PlayStation continually evolve. New options, new features everything.

Nintendo cant even be bothered to give people wallpapers.

Pfft. Just blow on the cartridge. If you have the digital version then blow on the switch..or..something.

Why did so many of you pick "Its music" for the jingle of collecting stuff? Its even known as a sound effect...no one in the history of gaming considered it music haha. If you were to look at files in a game its an SFX haha

@SuperToe I'm confused, are you agreeing or disagreeing haha.
I wouldnt call higher rres textures or reduced blurring and big improvement and also consider it the bare minimum haha
Thats why I'm fully against Nintendo charging full price for doing virtually nothing.

@HammerKirby Segas just surprised that people are still buying sonic games haha.
Don't get me wrong, i was a huge Sonic fan, but lets face it even SEGA has to be wondering why people still hang onto the franchise given their track record haha

@Richnj Digging into it more gets even more interesting. THQ Nordic and Deep Silver worked together to re-form Free Radical Studio and according to a report from THQ and Deep Silver they announced they do have plans for the future and are working on something new in the franchise.
So yes the parent company, Koch Media but internally they started Free Radical again.

So while an HD collection is likely they revived the entire studio just to build a new Time Splitters. The store was on Polygon as of May 2021 with quotes from the dev team and company.

Official Tweet:

It seems that Deep Silver will actually own Free Radical. And its been formed with some of the old team.
So i doubt they will show a new game already but its definitely in production now. They said they already have amazing plans for Timesplitters and everything is in motion to reboot the franchise.

@AG_Awesome In 2018 they did. I assume they still do. In 2019 it was reported that they did have plans for Time Splitters...so...maybe?!

@Digimon24 Not 1 company, almost ALL of them.
Nintendo is pretty much the only company that charges full price for remakes. Us people complain because we know Nintendo is the only company that artificially inflates its prices still.

The only people that dont see an issue with it are the die hard Nintendo fans.

@Dr_Lugae SE I get because they have the pixel remasters on PC and mobile now. Some franchises like that wouldnt make sense.
but there are a lot of dead franchises.

To be honest, this is why I strongly dislike when Nintendo attacks the ROM sites. The majority of games are just impossible to play any other way now other than whats on the online service.
It doesn't hurt Nintendo financially one little bit. So its just being petty.

There's 1757 games with 717 in NA and Switch online has less than 50. So forcing ROM sites with NES and SNES games to close is just Nintendo being petty. It cost them more in legal documents to force them to shut down.

@Digimon24 It's not really silly. I get there is a big graphics improvement. But Nintendo is still the only company that charges full price for just a remaster.

I mean hell we got entire remakes of Spyro and Crash , 6 games in total and those were way cheaper. Those weren't just remasters they were ground up entire remakes and they were half the price.

@HeadPirate We dont know that no ones working on it, yes its unlikely but not impossible at all.

You also say "My hype" but i dont have hype for it because we know its nothing more than a pipe dream.
Raising engagement of posts is exactly what encourages them to make more games and make remasters. Loads of game companies have said if theres interest we will do it and have followed through.

As for being the lowest selling, thats 800k units on a console that was considered a massive failure even by Nintendo.
the Wii U sold about 13m units so 900k sales on a console that only sold 13m consoles is actually really good by comparison.
Especially when you consider the Wii was one of the best selling consoles and only did 100k more.

The Wii U sold 13m units but XCX sold 800k
The Wii sold 101.63m but 900k copies of XC1
So by comparison X did incredibly well for a failed console.
So just 100k units more for a console that sold insanely well would show that X actually did better really.

So it doesn't fully indicate the only way to go is a new game.
They did clearly express a desire and want to remake X but would need to see a demand for it. X1 selling well shows them that desire for more Xenoblade is there, be it new or remaster.

So while it is very unlikely, so there is no hype, it is by no means impossible and there is a desire from fans and the original creator.

Its highly unlikely as well but they could absolutely outsource a remaster. Thats what virtually every other dev has done and its worked incredibly well. there are now entire companies that JUST do remasters. Again for some reason Nintendo seems to be against that which makes little sense.

So the sales data for Wii U games is EXACTLY why we are getting all these Switch remasters. Because none of them sold well so now they are porting them to make the money they didnt the first time around.

And the game journalist was 100% wrong haha. It's September now and there is zero sign that this even exists haha.
Really Nintendo totally wasted the franchises birth day

I'd love to see a Wind Waker HD Switch version, It would be a joy to play it again. But I also don't want it because I know Nintendo will charge will price for a 20 year old games, barely do anything to it and think that's somehow a fair price. cough Skyward sword cough

Honestly I think Nintendo is seriously wasting a good opportunity with the Online service. Most of the NES and SNES titles have been unheard of games are have been kind of meh, with a few exceptions.
Adding GB, GBA, N64, GC games would seriously ramp up the value. I seriously doubt there is any reason why they cant do this other than..they just cant be bothered.

@HeadPirate I dont think anyone at Monolith said an X port isn't possible or wasn't happening. They said it would be difficult or unlikely depending on demand. But i dont think they have ever said an outright no.

If Chronicles HD sold well they would be a a green flag for an X remaster.

I dont see that happening. That would be a stupid miss step on PEGIs part.
Gambling with real money being 18+, like loot boxes makes total sense.
But in game currency would makes hundreds of games 18+ and they risk doing massive damage to the entire industry.

@Dafirelive Actually Sonic Adventure 1 was decent, havent played the HD version just the original Dreamcast and it was decent. Havent played 2.

But considering how many 3D Sonic games exists 1 being decent still isnt great haha

I feel like saying "Best 3d Sonic game" is like saying "The best Cancer". Like...its all bad...but one is slightly less bad.

I don't agree with Breath of the Wild. Your golf club breaks every few swings. Umbrella only works for a short while before it needs to be recharged. Annoying little goblins running around hitting you. Actually...that last one sounds like a Disney cruise haha

@victordamazio Lol it absolutely is not. The likelihood is itll be more related to 1st party titles now. But exclusives wont go away. In alot of cases Sony, Xbox or Nintendo will fund a game to make it exclusives. Going to PC makes sense but we will always have consoles exclusives.

Ug it sucks the driving is back. Hitting a tiny post and being thrown off your bike is annoying as hell.
But hey at least the battles are better. I just finish NMH 1 again, first time on the switch, but havent played 2 yet.

Lets be honest here. Nintendo and the Pokemon company will always put the absolute lowest effort possible into a Pokemon game, and the lowest budget. They know that people will still buy it, and they do. $100bn company and they will happily make a game for $20 if they could.

Makes sense to me. The OLED console isnt at all what consumers wanted and right now there is really only 1 or 2 games people care about that. Metroid and Mario Party.

@Carck I got both. And so far Xbox hasn't released a single next gen game. Meanwhile so y already has a couple of huge hits

@Vexx234 The fact that they had the nerve to charge full price for Skyward sword was absolutely disgusting.

@Carck Yeah...because Nintendo has soooo many good releases right now. like um....

I'm very excited for this but there is one thing I'm disappointed about. I really enjoyed the art style of the others, where its brighter colours etc. But everything we've seen so far makes it look grey and full. I know its just the colour scheme and im still excited, but still, it just looks...dull.

Wasnt he the moron that tried to release all those fake systems and wondered why he had legal take down notices? Or was that another fake rapper pretending to have talent?

@Kainbrightside Dont see why it would stick. Sony have said before they support Nintendo and they are needed in the market. And neither Sony or Microsoft see Nintendo as competition. They know Nintendo is after an entirely different market. both MS and Sony would just be happy the market is going well.

@Anti-Matter Its good but i wouldnt say its all that impressive. Its fully expected in Japan that handheld and Nintendo will outsell the other systems. Japan is heavily weighted towards a portable market.

@Hujsson Ok, but that still doesnt really mean much. The first game was also on a dual screen system and they didnt add a second screen so the Lite just for this game haha.

I really don't understand Nintendo's thinking. Release a OLED version, that was disappointing at best. But instead of helping its sales with a limited edition run..they use the Lite...like..what the actual

@Xaessya I feel like you are really stretching just to hate on Sony. Your comment didnt even make sense

"unregulated and freely available to our kids". So just ignoring ESRB and...ya know...parenting. I kind of feel like this is an issue about poor parenting and nothing else.

@Strumpan The only way we get an X sequel is if they do a HD remaster of X for the Switch. The game was all but ignored before it came out on the Wii U. Thats why we still dont have a HD remaster, they dont think theres a demand for it, even though there is.
