Regardless of what content will carry over, this seems like a no brainier to have your user account transfer to new hardware. It's almost 2024 for crying out loud.
If you were trying for the record on comments I think you might win. When Switch 2 is backwards compatible I will be checking stores daily for stock on launch, if not preordering. Otherwise I will drag my feet for a while.
These came out in January, correct? Which means their physical versions won't ship until over a year later. Ugh. Pre-order for 2 months then wait 4-6 months more to get your hard copy. Crap.
I remember playing the hell out of Summoner at the PS2 launch. Terrible news. Hope the staff can find good jobs and make great games. We'll see what they do with the IPs.
If they HAVE TO make a Zelda movie, please do one that is anime inspired. A straight up anime would be preferred but probably too much to ask. If not, then I guess CG.
Until it gets better, don't use the eshop to look for games. There are plenty of online resources to find recommendations, especially for smaller games that don't get much coverage. Switchup is one of my favorites.
Looks pretty cool. If it does well hopefully NIS makes enough physical copies for us. I cannot find Trails of Zero or Trails of Azure for Switch anywhere at retail. And both games are less than a year old in NA. May not be able to wait on some of these new NIS games anymore.
There have been exclusives on consoles, in one form or another, since probably the 1980s. All console makers have done it. Why is this being seen as such a bad thing now? Where has the outrage been the last 30+ years?
And are people pissed off about exclusive deals with third party publishers or with first party? Should a first party studio from Nintendo really be expected to make their games for other systems, PC or console?
It was awesome. I'm not going to buy every single game of course, but there were a lot of great surprises for me personally. I must have avoided the rumors. It was refreshing to learn about new games this way and so many are coming yet this year.
This looks really good. No NFL teams but I'm more used to the behind the line view than side view. I stopped playing Madden 20 years ago so these simpler style football games may fill that need.
I think the short answer is NO! We don't need a Zelda movie.
But if they had to make one, please let it be an anime or anime inspired like Avatar the Last Airbender. Studio Ghibli would be a good choice if not another anime studio.
I just don't get this. How much does a beast like Fortnite need to be fed with developer talent? It'll never be big enough? Meanwhile no Horizon Chase sequel anytime soon.
Behind the scenes I'm sure Nintendo's lawyers are also investigating all the companies involved with the production of the book. These companies are also at risk if it's determined the leak was from one of their employees. End of contract.
@Cashews Studio Ghibli VA is mostly really well done. But those are all original characters. Elle Fanning's voice's IS Mei Kusakabe's voice for the English version.
I'm just not a fan of hearing a celebrity's voice coming out of my favorite characters from cartoons and anime. Maile Flanagan IS Naruto. Insert your favorite character here.
@RainbowGazelle Agreed. Sadly this is nothing new and won't be stopped anytime soon. It's all about marketing, suits feel the need for bigger names instead of letting characters speak for themselves through VA veterans.
Scoob! is a good example IMO. They recast everyone in the gang but Scooby-Doo, voiced by Frank Welker, who had been the voice of Freddy Jones since the 1960s. Ugh!
A VA could do a character in TV or video games for decades. But if that character shows up in a movie the VA veteran doesn't get the part for a big payday. Instead the part goes to a big name actor that quite frankly probably doesn't need more money.

Re: Review: Gargoyles Remastered - One For Cult Disney Die-Hards Only
There are a ton of Gargoyles fans, probably more adults over time given the shows darker nature compared to the others. It's not unloved.
Re: Analogue's CEO Reckons Not Even Nintendo Could Beat Its New 'N64'
@PessitheMystic Indeed. It sounds like he was responding to a skeptic or a competitor, but I think he was just making an announcement. Weird approach.
Re: Random: Some Switch Fans Want A Super Mario Bros. Wonder eShop Demo
I do like games with demos. But it's a Mario game made by Nintendo. It will be good.
Re: Disney Boss Reportedly Being Urged To Acquire A Major Game Publisher
These giant companies are never big enough, they always want more $$ and more control over industries. Ugh!
Re: Review: Fate/Samurai Remnant - Musou Evolved, With Patchy Switch Performance
Not too worried about performance as I have faith it will be getting patched, especially by the time I get around to playing. Hope it does well.

Re: Epic Games Is Reportedly Laying Off Nearly 900 Employees
Wow. 900 staff is 16% of their workforce? I didn't realize how huge Epic was.
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Have Been Restocked In North America
I hate that we cannot back order this stupid thing. Check back again later. Ugh!
Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Physical Editions Announced For Switch

Re: Talking Point: Which Classic Cartoons Deserve The Shredder's Revenge Treatment?
Love most 80s cartoons. Would like to see some other genres beside brawlers too.
Re: Poll: Hasn't Nintendo Always Been An 'Entertainment' Company?
Option 4: Are we making too much out of this?
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct Showcase?
Game looks great. Presentation was equally excellent. Nintendo at the top of their game.

Re: Video: 9 Exciting New Games Coming To The Nintendo Switch In September 2023
Not a fan of the entire name but Dragon Quest.
Re: Random: Fan-Made 'The Legend Of Zelda' Movie Trailer Shows What Will Never Be
@AstroTheGamosian I didn't know Ufotable was making a Genshin Impact anime. Heck yeah. TY.
Re: Random: Fan-Made 'The Legend Of Zelda' Movie Trailer Shows What Will Never Be
If they HAVE TO make a Zelda movie, please do one that is anime inspired. A straight up anime would be preferred but probably too much to ask. If not, then I guess CG.
But no way in hell do I want a live action Zelda.
Re: Feature: "I Don't Want To Copy" - Paying Homage To Childhood RPGs With Sea Of Stars
Hoping it's a great game and that it does well in the market as a result. Very much want a physical release, maybe even get a LE.
Re: Feature: The Rise Of 'Scam Games' And 'Keyword Bingo' Firms Flooding Switch eShop

Re: Video: Red Dead Redemption Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Xbox 360)
Wouldn't a port look mostly the same as the original?
Re: Surprise! Red Dead Redemption Blasts Onto Switch Next Week
Truly a surprise, shadow drop.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Pay $50 For Red Dead Redemption On Switch?
Yes, when it's on sale for like $20 or something.
Re: Report: Ex-NFL Player Blake Martinez Banned From Reselling Pokémon Cards On Whatnot
@spacely_sprockets Me neither, and that's fine by me.
Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender: Quest For Balance Is Finally Announced, Coming To Switch This Year
The blurb makes it sound like it's just puzzle solving. Really?
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The Official Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Guidebook
Looks nice and the price is right.
Re: Action RPG CryMachina Looks Stunning, And It's Launching This October
Looks pretty cool. If it does well hopefully NIS makes enough physical copies for us. I cannot find Trails of Zero or Trails of Azure for Switch anywhere at retail. And both games are less than a year old in NA. May not be able to wait on some of these new NIS games anymore.

Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Makes The Jump From 3DS To Switch In 2024
This is great news. I wonder if we'll see GC version remastered too.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, A Brand New 2D Mario Game, Is Coming To Switch
Way to go Nintendo. This looks like another winner!
Re: Super Mario RPG Is Getting A Remake This November, And It Looks Amazing
Looks awesome. Thankfully it's a short wait all things considered.
Re: Yoshi And Kirby Developer Good-Feel Reveals New 3D Action Game For Switch
Love the look and the setting. Praying this gets released world wide.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?

Re: Mario Movie Producer Denies Legend Of Zelda Film Rumours
I really don't want a Zelda movie. But it doesn't have to be the same people that did Mario, does it?
Re: Hands On: This Kitty Turned Out To Be Our Biggest Summer Game Fest Surprise
I was in when the trailer was first shown a while ago. Looks great.
Re: Legend Bowl Is Bringing More Arcade-Inspired American Football To Switch This Summer
This looks really good. No NFL teams but I'm more used to the behind the line view than side view. I stopped playing Madden 20 years ago so these simpler style football games may fill that need.
Re: Story Of Seasons Multiplayer Game Announced Alongside New Traditional Instalment
Interesting news for sure. Xseed rocks.
Re: Rune Factory 6 And Spin-Off 'Project Dragon' Officially Unveiled
Project Dragon looks pretty cool. Interested to see more. I assume it will have farming and romance too.
Re: Eiji Aonuma "Interested" In Zelda Movie After Mario's $1 Billion Box Office Success
I think the short answer is NO! We don't need a Zelda movie.
But if they had to make one, please let it be an anime or anime inspired like Avatar the Last Airbender. Studio Ghibli would be a good choice if not another anime studio.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.3.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'll wait for SwitchUp to post another patch video. Doesn't sound promising.
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Dev Aquiris Joins Epic Games To Work On Fortnite
I just don't get this. How much does a beast like Fortnite need to be fed with developer talent? It'll never be big enough? Meanwhile no Horizon Chase sequel anytime soon.
Re: Metroid Prime Engineer Calls Out Nintendo, Says Not Crediting OG Devs In Remaster Is "Petty And Ridiculous"
Can't Nintendo admit their mistake and release a patch for the missing credits? I know it's a little late but it's better than doing nothing at all.
Re: Kloa: Child Of The Forest Is A Beautiful Blend Of Pixel Art, Studio Ghibli, And Zelda
Yeah, I think a lot of us may have missed this one. It's on my radar for sure now. Hope it lives up to the comparisons.
Re: Nintendo Wants Discord To Reveal Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Art Book Leaker
Behind the scenes I'm sure Nintendo's lawyers are also investigating all the companies involved with the production of the book. These companies are also at risk if it's determined the leak was from one of their employees. End of contract.
Re: Soapbox: Can We Stop Pretending Switch Can't Run Call Of Duty?
@Baler True. There are a fair amount of articles about the Steam Deck or similar.
Re: Rumour: The Infamous Phillips CD-i Zelda Games Are Being Remastered For Switch
Pretty obviously a joke. But we did get Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.
Re: PlatinumGames Announces Next Instalment In "Neo-Classic Arcade" Series On April Fools' Day
We should turn off news feeds on April 1. Seriously sick of the tricks.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Indiana Jones Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking
I haven't played too many on this list but of those the LEGO series were the most fun IMO.

Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like The Mario Movie Blu-ray Steelbook Release Date Leaked
@Member_the_game Yes. For the same reason that people buy physical games if they are released.
