@mariomaster96 We will most likely get a MAIN Direct in June with the 2nd half of the year's games I would rather them wait and tell us when they are ready than rush out info and have to delay games and then we are back at square 1.
@aznable While it is disappointing the didn't make a new All-star racing game I do think it is good for the Sonic franchise to promote and get people to familiarize themselves with the other Sonic Characters. My son is having a blast with this game. With that said maybe they are aiming for the younger audience.
@CharlieSmile I heard it was still being worked on. There was some news about it the other day.
"Producer and lifeblood of the series, Katsuhiro Harada, shared that yes, Tekken x Street Fighter is not completely canceled and is still on hold. This is the same game announced back in 2010 along with Street Fighter X Tekken (which did come out) and put on ice in 2016, mind.While we knew that much already, he explains that development is "roughly 30% done." Harada also openly acknowledges the possibility of another season pass (a scheme Capcom recently dumped for Street Fighter V) and a Switch port for Tekken 7." destructoid
@JackEatsSparrows it's actually more than that when you steal mail it's a federal crime. I was trained @ FedEx and worked there for a summer. But like many have said, they may or may not pursue it.
@Frenean i agree , who cares who has #1 spot. As long as each company is doing well and we continue to get great games I am fine with that. Some people act like they are getting something if one does better than the other
@BenAV so true about character whinning. I am pretty content on the roster as it is. My only hope is that the 5 remaining characters add new franchises to be represented.
@BlueOcean I thought the same thing. I am open to the idea as long as Sumo delivers. Hopefully they give each racer differences unique to the character.
Sonic’s supporting cast deserves some love. This kind of thing does wonders for seldom used characters like Cream, Big the Cat and Sticks. Plus Sumo Digital is a fine developer. It would be cool if they had a story mode like Diddy Kong racing.
@Savino its I can understand the 4k part (people need to invest in 4k sets), but VR is something the videogame companies make. Either way , they will eventually take on these things, for now I am enjoying my Switch.
@Marios-love-child while I do agree with you about it being too ambitious , that is only from our perspective. Nintendo knows what they have lined up , so 20 might be possible.
@BensonUii what baffles me (long time 2k fan since the first dreamcast game) is how early they release the games before the start of the nba season. They could use that time to fix most issues before release.
@Fandabidozi unfortunately i gave in and bought the Usagi off of Amazon. As for the Turtles (Samurai), I was able to get everyone at Walmart. I still cannot find Muckman and Tiger claw (w/ Robe) at retail.
People complain about Amiibo availability but at least you can preorder them unlike most toys. Lego dimensions has so much stock it probably turns people away because it doesn't seem popular.
Maybe Nintendo can make a great game that focuses just on Amiibo like other toys to life franchises.
@BAN this seems to be a problem with a lot of popular toys. Scalpers buy all the ones they feel will be rare and mark it up 200% on Amazon and Ebay. It is getting out of hand. I was trying to find my son a Usagi Yojimbo figure from TMNT and can never find him but only on Amazon and Ebay for 30+ dollars.
@oatmealwarrior92 that's amazing.. but it does make sense. I thought it was a well organized launch overall. Best buy was probably the best retailer for customers trying to get a Switch.. Walmart being the worst organizer.
@Dezzy they planned on 2 million for March. Because of demand they added almost 800,000 more. They had to be more conservative with Switch at first due to the sales failure of Wii U.
Some of us gamers don't understand that you just can't make 5-7 mil systems so quickly and it costs money to have them sitting in warehouses unsold.
So far I think they have done a great job getting systems in stores to meet demand. My local Best buy had 60 systems at launch
@NEStalgia the issue with most Lower selling Nintendo IP is them not marketing their products. An F-zero done right could turn heads with proper marketing.
@JudgeMethos one thing people (gamers, devs, publishers) forget is who the target audience is on Nintendo platforms. Audiences need to be built on any said platform. Nintendo needs unique titles on Switch as well as established hit games. Capcom could easily revive Mega man on Switch. Ubisoft could make Beyond Good & evil 2 , Tecmo Ninja Gaiden, & Konami Castlevania etc. Then have all these characters appear in known Nintendo hit games such as Smash or Mario Kart. Then release Amiibo for these characters. This would establish new found love for these franchises and now would be on people's radar. Fire Emblem became a good franchise in the west mainly due to it appearing in Smash.
that reputation will soon be forgotten once more new games get released. PS4 and Xbox one had barely nothing for months after their launches. My 2nd game on PS4 was the last of Us remaster. As many of you know Most of the video game community only care for the here and now and quickly get amnesia once what they want is available.
@JaxonH this would still be able to sync pro and joy cons to this version? Then that's a good idea. The main issue is game compatibility out of the box.
@123akis yeah you can't just own one platform if you are a serious gamer. I do prefer nintendo systems however because their 1st party is my favorite type of games.
Selling the fastest in a limited amount of time is not really saying much. What will be an accomplishment is Switch's long term sales. Only reason we should care about sales as a consumer is for the future library of the console.
@MrPuzzlez i agree ... they (Nintendo) don't push it (Metroid) to sell. PlayStation and xbox have some way lesser titles get more sales due to marketing
@Mogster i doubt Nintendo has shown all its cards.. There will be some surprises. We shouldn't hype e3. Let e3 hype us with official announcements instead. Speculations usually lead to disappointment.
@Gorlokk agreed... keep those games coming. Botw is so content filled I am still playing since March 3. Nintendo please give Metroid this same attention. I think its prime time that they reimage their franchises to give them new life.. no gimmicks, just fresh and expansive gameplay.
@ennan e3 will help for gaming fans.. but the continued major push on advertising will help even more. The Switch has one thing going for it that WiiU never had and that is it's self advertising when a owner brings theirs in public.
@EightyTwoStu the left stick should also be light gray. If i had the resources id do this myself. I know they sell aftermarket colored analog sticks.. maybe if we wait a bit there will be official ones.
Its great Nintendo was able to fix the problem so easily. I however haven't experienced this issue and I have two Switches plus and extra set of joy cons.
As for trollish type comments ... Do you even own a Switch? the Internet loves to blow stuff up. This is no RROD situation.
@PlywoodStick ironic as it maybe some people just come here and criticize and seldomly ever have a balanced outlook. I sometimes wonder do these people even play games.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE there also is a foolproof method. Stop playing videogames. In life its good to find balance but to be too heavy on either side of the spectrum leads to problems (overly critical or totally naive)
@Brubbles the scratches are for docks with defects mainly. I haven't had this issue... also it is good to put a screen protector on all of your handheld devices. A two pack of tempered glass protectors is only 10 US dollars.
@Nagi_Nagisa that's like a double whammy. Limited edition + fire emblem (niche) = sold out in seconds. I feel I spent enough already getting the standard game and amiibo. Im glad i at least got the three ganes on one cart for the last game

We will probably see even more ports of AAA games when Nintendo releases a Pro Switch.
