@EasyDaRon doesnt matter how big your platform really. Look at last generation. Xbox was massive the 360 sales were through the roof there was no stopping it. This generation the PS4 still has more sales than Switch and Xbox combined by a fairly large amount. The biggest reason being the exclusives, thats still why the Switch is selling well now. If they have something like that it'll do well.
A lot of people are strongly against an all online system which I'm not but i do understand the concern.

Internet goes down or router does? Nope no more game for you. Even though modern consoles are mostly online most game still work without a connection.

This would have to be insanely low to purchase the system itself or it cant succeed, The 3 big guys have the market, they have a tried and trusted base of gamers behind them. Google does not have that.

@Realnoize They didn't but that's just a port not a whole new game. That was also long before 2k said they would go forward with Microtransactions in their games more often and was before the rise of that whole thing. Adding it to a preexisting game is one thing but putting it in as a core mechanic of a whole new entry is entirely different.

@Realnoize one of the only games to get loot right. No microtransactions, just enough loot to keep you wanting more without giving you overpowered stuff and an excellent case of New Game + done right.
I do however have a fear that being 2k, they will add Microtransactions to buy more loot boxes an that worries me.

Already have the Handsom Jack collection on PS4 but if the Switch one comes with all the DLC like that did then i am in.

@sixrings I mean yeah..considering millenials are between 23 and 38 this year i would assume that they have a lot of people that age working there. That is also the target audience for most game companies.

@KingMike Did not know it was an arcade game very interesting. So damn tough on MS though, awesome game but never did complete it.

@retro_player_22 the very original one was Sega MasterSystem, it was awesome but hard as well and super twitchy controls.

I loved the original even if it was hard as balls. But this looks terrible, the art style is basic and like they didnt really care at all. Look at Dragon trap that was a damn near flawless and true recreation, this looks like a cheap knockoff you see on Android or iOS.
I played the original on Master System to death.

Personally, i think it makes sense but there is no way i would do this with a Nintendo system. They price lock their software far too much and retail is usually way cheaper than the eshop. Eshop prices never change and they really should.

The worst part is using music from a game that bad. That means we have to remember that it ever existed an no one wants to remember Sonic '06

He will be missed such an awesome, but can we appreciate the fact that the next guy's name is Bowser??

Now if Major Nelson can retire it would be great, really not a fan of that guy

@mikegamer So you can use games and apps on a bigger screen than your phone while on the go, just tether it. That and opens the doors for homebrew and a whole bunch of other awesome stuff.

I know people were mad that they delayed this but remember when happens when you dont. Looking at you Fallout.

The first line of "Building almost anything" was a major red flag for me. He says some variant of this every single time and every single time its been BS

Because Nintendo still wont and never will learn that their pricing structure is out of date and makes no sense. Every time they re-release a game they think its ok to jack the price up. Remakes should never ever be full price unless they have a load of new content added. Take Crash Bandicoot for example, 3 games fully remade from the ground up for $40-$50cdn same with Spryo.
Then look at this one and Super Luigi they are full price games that released years ago. That's not how the industry works. they are just lucky that Super Luigi sold well.

You can run a business expecting people to pay full price for a 5+ year old game. Not when the PS4 and the Xbox one has AAA titles for much less.

Hey do you want a 7 year old re-release for full price? Or would you rather get pay Red Dead 2 on sale for much less.

I mean hell look at Shadow of the Colossus. That was a complete overhaul, new graphics engine, recorded music everything. They built it pretty much from the ground up and charged half price for it.

They promised special deal like PS+ Sales and Xbox Live Gold sales and so far we have the NES classic controller on sale...still..since launch. Even on the site right now it shows "Exclusive offers only for subscribers" that hasn't changes since day one. NES controllers (at full price) and Splatoon Gear....ooooo exciting.
If they offered deals on 1st party games for signing up for a year i would have that on automatic renewal no problem.

@SwitchForce I wasn't going to sit here and list every game i could think of, I'm just going with more recent examples. As for my own metric, I have every system of the last 2 generations and back home i have everything back to the Atari 2600, for my current systems i have over 200 games easily with digital and physicals. I also play a bit of everything. About the only thing i dont play is sports games. I'm playing Kindgom Hearts at the moment but after that I'm going to Far Cry. I will play pretty much anything I can get my hands on, time permitting of course.

As for you saying im in the NintendoDoom game. My Wii U is still hooked up and fully functioning, As it my Switch, and my 3ds gets a play every now and then when i want something portable other than Switch. I have bought, and still own, every Nintendo system from SNES on.

I dont think Nintendo is going anywhere and i dont want them too. Hell i preorder Metroid in 2017 when they just showed a logo and i preordered Pokemon Lets Go as well. I love Nintendo, but they dont appeal to a broad audience. Man i wish they did, i would love to see them do something and take a risk.

@Anti-Matter But you aren't the majority. An those games are not system seller. Zelda and Mario are system sellers but we only get those once in a blue moon

@Almighty-Koz I am so sick of see Astro Bears and bulb boy or whatever its called, almost every single week something like that is on sale. Then the good games are way more expensive on the Switch than another console and they new put first party games on sale.
I understand that stuff like Yooka Laylee and other mulit platform games came out later on the Switch. But, Nintendo knows that the Switch is primarily selling as a second system. So why would i buy games like that for double the price on Switch.

I love Nintendo but they have always had an issue with appealing to a larger audience and the copy as a whole is outdated.
Just look at the former Youtube policy, they acted like the internet was a new scary thing an they had no idea how to handle it. Same with most of the Switchs online functionality. It feels like a first attempt at a new online culture..expect its a decade behind the curve.

Even their social media presence is terrible. Yes they exist pretty much everywhere but they never interact with fans on any scale.
They need a AAA title that isn't Zelda or Mario and at this point they need a new IP. But they just keep using the old ones and are too scared to branch out.

Most of them would be fantastic..but we know all RDR2 would be impossible on the Switch.
I love the idea of playing Sunshine again but i just dont want to pay full price for a game that old and you know if they ever did it it would be full price for no reason.

If i didn't already own it on Wii U and they priced it better and not kept it at full retail for a re-release then i would have gotten it to. Just can't justify a full price tag for something like that.

@Retupmocnin Ripping off what exactly?

I love the art style and the music, haven't seen gameplay yet, as of typing this, but already you have me intrigued.

@CupidStunt I would be so happy if they did that but i feel at this point it wont happen. I loved XC and XC2 but i never got around to playing X. I tried to play it again but the Wii U gamepad just feels so uncomfortable to hold for such a long time. I would buy it in a heart beat for Switch.

@Scottwood101 Last i saw they could use emulators and some homebrew but pirated Switch software wasnt a thing. It was stupidly easy to hack a Wii and Wii U both of mine are soft modded. That way i could store call my games off an external harddrive instead of swapping discs or SD cards. I imagine the goal is much the same.

It bugs me that if you visit the site in Canada is even shows how many games are available, it just won't show the list.

@HeroponRiki The only time i have ever seen my name spelled the same way in a video game and it was for Heropon. I was so happy at the time and then realised that i too was a round hairy creature lmfao

I want Amazon to keep my pre-order i got it for an amazing deal.

Adding new stuff to this and not the PS4 version would be total BS.

Hugely disappointing i understand why they did it and trust them. There are a lot of AAA titles to go up against an if they don't think its right then it makes sense.

One thing i think we all need to be thankful for is the level of respect to the consumer and the fans in that video. They didn't have to do that but they did and it showed a lot of respect. Far more than most developers.

@DockEllisD Personally to me they need a new Mario Kart. Its a 4 year old game at this point and a switch specific one would be amazing.

@BenAV A lot of them though are usually more expensive on Switch than PC, PS4 or Xbox. In fact, the vast majority are more expensive on Switch when on multiple systems or when they go on sale they are more. Don't get me wrong i love my Switch but its a guarantee that the games on multiple systems are more on the Switch.

@BenAV You pretty much just summed up the entire eShop in that one comment.

@NintendoFan4Lyf Not sure what you mean turns to the page with Dahlia ah...yeah..well..its um...art..for science purposes..or something

@dougphisig Too be honest I never figured that out. Same title, graphics are pretty similar and basic. The only additional changed I've seen is that they added features not found in the original.
I seems it was more of the original but with extra content.

On the Wiki page its listed as an HD remake of the classic. Decided to Google it before i finished typing.

@leo13 Personally I would say its more like SimCity. It's been a long time as i played the original, but its more of building a city and trying to grow it with some quests etc. Its fun but not really like Civ.

I think it's funny that people forget its a PS1 game being ported with a hefty price tag attached.

They do this and i will sign up for a year sub without hesitation. NES felt a little too old school for me personally but SNES is the sweet spot.

Good heads up but now I'm really glad i have a Soft modded Wii haha

@WaveBoy I don't agree with them charging for those games anymore where they had $7.99 that was a total rip off. I grew up with those games but i am all for getting them again if its included with a yearly sub of $20. Just gives more titles to play without spending a fortune for new games.

Great deal's, now we just wait for the exact same Switch re-release for a full price tag lol

I am all for artist design etc and i love those pixel type games when in 2ds but this would genuinely hurt my eyes. The premise is interesting but I dont think i can do it.

@neufel NES games did nothing for me, i felt they were too far back in some cases. But if they added SNES i would jump onboard so quick Switch online would be an easy buy for me. I feel SNES is the sweet spot. Still classic but not dated enough that it feels too old for current players.

SNES games on switch online would make me sign up in an instant.

Personally, i would be fine seeing the end of the DS. Its been around for a long time now and nothing really new happens. Its just terrible 3rd party games from a bargain bin or overpriced remasters. There has also been some decent 3ds titles launch that made no sense being on the 3ds like the remake of Luigis mansion. It did well, let is die and focus entirely on Switch. Nintendo right now just looks like its competing with itself and it just seems weird from a business perspective.

@thesilverbrick In Canada Amazon has them for $60 X and X2 in a set and XII as $60 as well. so i would guess about $40 to $50 US so still cheaper than full price and full price in Canada for a game is $80

Amazing job for Nintendo but no real surprise. Japan is a very mobile market thats why the 3ds and 2ds do so much better there. A lot of people work long hours and commute so it does make sense. Pretty amazing though.

@BenGrimm I know but it doesn't make it right. It's like saying Microtransactions are fine because everyone is doing them now. Doesn't make it any better just means more companies are realizing that people will pay stupid money for stupid things.
