@Pod Yeah, they need to sell two of the same consoles to all the true fans.

But I think Nintendo should make an alternative pair of joy cons. One left that has a real D-pad, located where the stick sits now. For those platformers and fighters. Then another one moving the right joy con a bit upwards. To suit more solid FPS-playing. Then people could mix and match those with the regular ones to suit each game and playstyle.

Coming from a personal experience: no cheap 3rd party controller has ever been as good as a 1st party one. I’ve had some for the original playstation, wii and one wii u pro controller knock off too. And I’ve come to conclusion that I’ll only buy official controllers as they are the only ones that I think are good to play with. Durable, buttons feel responsive, etc.
That said, I have never tried any of those expensive premium 3rd party controllers that even have customisable extra buttons. I don’t need those extra features (and extra price) even if those controllers were good.
But my point being, a controller is not a place I want to cheap out and try to save money. I’ll save it elsewhere, like buying games used or later when the price drops.

All respect to everyone willing to spend 400 for an extra thing to his/her house that needs dust wiped off. As much as I think these look nice, I don’t want to spend almost a third of a months salary for more cleaning.

I want to try the game dev one!

This seems like fun way to kill 15mins at times. Gotta get it!

I’ll give it a shot at least!

On paper this seems alright! Let’s see some reviews when it gets released.

No, I’d rather have an universal Nintendo classic that would have the best games from multiple Nintendo systems. Nes, snes, n64, gb,gbc,gba,gc. These things look good no doubt but I don’t really need many devices when a single one could handle them all (a rasp pi has proven this right).
Wich brings me to my main point: people already have switches, just bring the games to a virtual console already. It prints more money to sell games 5-10/ piece than a mini console with 30 games for 70.
Also, one single devices (switch) would be more convinient anyway.

@TidusUK I hear you! Definitely these kinda releases are for people in the same situation as you. I was thinking more of those who already played a game on a different platform but need to play it second time, handheld, on a bus. Those who could just replay it at home cos they have time.
Not that there’s something wrong in double dipping. I just personally would buy a game I didn’t already have on one platform already. And just to mention, I may not have kids or pets or nothing with my significant other, I have a job and other hobbies the gaming (gym, music, outdoors). I don’t necessary always have hours and hours of game time, that’s why I love the switch. I can fill all the little gaps in between things. But I still would rarely double dip.

@paihia I think so too. I just tried to play crash bandicoot handheld with a regular joycon. The directional button placement is just awkward so I ended up playing with the joystick. And even before I thought why didn’t hori (or some other company) make a joycon that had the D-pad (or directional buttons) and joystick had swapped places. It would be the ultimate 2D platformer / fighter controller for the switch.

I never played this so I might get it on switch. Not day one but later on.
To those who say they’ll double (or triple) dip for the portability...I never really have been into that ”OMG I NEED to play THIS on a waiting room for the doctors”. I mean, why not just play something else there? If I have a game on a portable system first, then I’ll enjoy it on the go. But if I have it on a pure home console, then why not enjoy it just at home?
Anyone can spend their money as they wish, just saying how I would rather buy a game I never played before

So in this game you’ll just walk around and.. do nothing really?

I am all in for subscription based gaming. You pay a fixed price (a month / six months / a year) and then you’ll get all games released, free for you to play. And if you don’t renew the subscription you’ll lose the access.
But at least two things need to be takin in account. First, the games need to be GOOD. Someone needs to take the time and double check the consumers are getting quality, finished products. It’s too easy to flood the service with half-assed and/or unfinished broken titles. We’re going to need the Nintendo seal of quality back.
And second, the games need to be downloadable. I’m not going to pay to stream games. It’s not gonna work (at least not yet).

Nice. Put on Pokémon from Spotify right away!

I remember watching my friend play the first grandia on Playstation back in the day. I can’t remember why I never played it at his house, it was not his own copy so he couldn’t let me loan it. Anyway, I never played these so I think it’s awesome that they are playable on a modern hardware. Definitely gonna pick these up .

@Angelic_Lapras_King This would be the main reason to buy one of these as the original does not have HDMI. Otherwise I don’t see a point for this as it seems to Flash the MINI SNES firmware.
If only this was an add-on that was just plug and play with no firmware mods to the console.

@MegaVel91 I don’t think SNES consoles are that rare. One can get a used working SNES easily for 60-70 euros with cables and a controller. Loose games are quite cheap too.

Absolutely gonna check this one out!

Not sure if I need mario bros 3 on a another platform anymore. Yeah, the cost of the online service is gonna be dirt cheap. But I’m not used to buying / paying for things I don’t need. Cheap or not.

@wazlon thanks! Kinda like my thoughts I had already. I usually don’t double dip on games unless they have significant improvements or extra content and then I usually sell the original/previous i have.
I just played trough Kirby star allies and it wasn’t my cup..just something with the setting of the game and the graphical style put me off. And it was my first Kirby game I ever played. So I might like the older kirby-games if some.
Pikmin games are also new to me so I’m not sure if I like the series. Ever oasis is the only one I’ve been checking for a while now. So I might get that one from the sale

Someone who has played the 3DS ones: should I get hey pikmin, kirby or ever oasis? I kinda like platformers and rpg:s equally and I haven’t played those yet.
Also: is the mario and luigi worth double dipping if I own the original? How about Yoshi & poochy if I have the wii u-version?

I’m liking those colors alot! It reminds me of link to the past meets crusader of centy. I hope it stands out of it’s older peers. I don’t think this kinda 2D action RPGs come that often, or atleast are that good. When I play oceanhorn for example, I’m a bit annoyed by the graphical style they went with it. This is the way to do it!

@g_ruz Yeah those are good points to go for a wireless. I still would pay extra for a wireless one, even tho it was for a spare when someone comes over to play. But that’s just me. Also I would pay extra for hd rumble and gyro and such.
And in my opinion the colorways still look cheap and ugly. I don’t wanna hate these controllers but I don’t really like them either.

For me the graphics aren’t the reason to play games. Sure I like nice looking titles if they are fun to play. But recently I’ve been playing Kirby on the switch, handheld mode. And it looks pretty damn good even tho it’s not a photorealistic open world game with all the bells and whistles.
It it impressive how they have ported all those demanding games to the switch and made them run perfectly. But I think the main focus of porting games should be just to show off that you can.

The only shinies I want are Pokemon.
Why would anyone want a controller that has been stripped down essential functions, restricted with a wire and made so cheap-looking. They are gonna look so bad when the shell cracs, also they might be quite the fingerprint-magnets.

@setezerocinco @g_ruz might also be so that if the core breaks then one can easily swap just that and not the whole controller.

I would like to have a brand new entry for the series. On the switch. I don’t think there’s no reason to ”HD-port” those 3DS games to the switch. They still play and look fantastic.

@MichaelHarvey yes, with the whole game actually being on the 64GB cart 😉

@Kimyonaakuma I wouldn’t want to see ports of 3DS games cos that would make me want to buy the ”definitive” versions, even tho I don’t want to rebuy the Bravely games cos there’s nothing wrong with the ones we have on the 3DS..

I wish it had an over the top style beehive building part too where you had to defend the hive from enempien. Then you’d build certain things to get new missions to go on. And those missions would be FPS style flying, varying from collecting resources to attacking missions and stealth info gathering. And then throw in some RPG elements to get exp and new abilities for your bee(s).

This seems cool. Gonna buy it eventually, depends on how much I have going pn during the release.

I’m liking these games so far even though they are not full Pokemon experiences or main games. They look great, seem to have a ton of charm, and I’ve recently started to like the regular Go too..
Am I also only one whi thinks the criteria to show a certain pokemon or be on a certain level is kinda nice? It makes the game to have more storylike feel in my opinion.

I think the shinies will still be rare. But now you don’t have to go to a battle screen to know if you have found a shiny. It’s not like making the game easier, it’s just like taking an unnecessary loading screen away.
Everyone hating this can go play pokemon red where you have to play halfway trough just to even get a bicycle, just to have to scroll trough the menus to even equip it.
Some things in video games are there for just to make the experience better. If those conviniencies are annoying, one can always go back playing old rpg:s without even saving.

That said, I like battling wild Pokemon and would like to see that feature even in these let’s go-games. But getting rid of random encounters and seeing my opponent is a huge plus for me.

What the actual fudge did I just see? I opened Lego boxes more nicely at the age if 5 than that. The console itself looks nice but clearly got sent to a person with no appreciation towards it. They made three and this guy just ripped ones box into pieces.

@Rocketjay8 I don’t think cadboard is more than 20. Maybe 30 if the software is included as a download.
Yes, the box would be bigger if the labo was plastic. But it would last, and a still a reasonable price would be 60$. Sure, Nintendo would charge 120 for a plastic one. Because, well, it’s Nintendo.

@Rocketjay8 And 70$ isn’t too much for cardboard?

@UmbreonsPapa I think they should add just a handful with every gen. Just the best ones. Maybe like 20-50 new pokemon in each new generation, then we would have the benefits of cool new creatures without the bloat of 800+ species I surely can’t name.
I always wondered, for example, why do we need so many different bug pokemon. And those variants of dogs. Have more stuff from folklore (as you mentioned) and mythology but make them as regular pokemon, not something like a legendary.

My take why the first, maybe three, gens were so much memorable: not that they were simpler or had a better story behind them. It’s that the first generations already had everything that can resemble a reasonable living creature. Now it’s just hard to make up a monster that is different from previous but still something that COULD be from this world.
Too much is too much. He should stop making different creatures and instead take the best 400 and flesh them out more. Where they come from etc.

I wonder why they dont make some wireless too. For both ”casulas” and competitive smash-players. I’d love one if it was wireless, i hate to put any wires to the switch as it’s so light I might drop the dock.

@Kimyonaakuma my thoughts exactly!

The zelda games are obviously awesome and a must have if one has never played them. I don’t have the originals but I’ve grabbed them from some other sale and played trough.
I wish Nintendo made some new16bit zelda-games!

I loved Sonic 1 and 2 as a kid, never had the third one until later on so I don’t have nostalgia for that one. But as soon as this dropped I knew I needed to play it. And I kinda hoped for a physical game to be announced so I never bought the digital. Now I’ve had the physical pre-ordered (for 24,95 euros including shipping) for a while. I can’t wait to finally experience the game!

Ok so how about 5-10 indie games per week and make sure they are quality ones. Or else just make it so the eshop has a category named ”very cheap crappy games you’ll play for give minutes”.
Yeah it’s kind of a merit to say you have hundreds of games in your eshop. But I’d rather be proud of ten good ones than a hunderd of mediocore or hundreds of bad ones.

@liveswired funny! I was really thinking of something more than just a gba. A bit more powerful and with extra capabilities like SN eshop and such. Online multiplayer too.

I'm not sure if I'll buy it day one but definitely will eventually. I have so many games to play at the moment so I can wait to experience this when I really have time to sink in.

I don't mind those graphics. Sure they look like something from early days of the gamecube but they are decent. And graphics aren't the reason why I play video games in the first place. But the artstyle is something I dislike. Those characters don't look appealing. Also that world looks like it's just as empty as Hyrule in ocarina of time.. If a smaller studio decides to make an open world 3D game then they should only make only so large that they can really fill it. Another option would have been to make the game look more like link between worlds or ocean horn.
Anyway the gameplay is what makes a game good or bad (for me at least) and judging by the trailer this will be mediocre at best. The main character just doesn't seem to move all that nice.

I wish Nintendo made something more like a GBA. Less power, smaller & simpler games that could easily be 16-32bit 2D stuff, small console. Something that's easy to grab with you and games that don't require that much to pick up and play. It would be a very different console when compared to the switch & 3DS. It would fill gap that neither of these current consoles really do.

I own the originals on PS1 and have played the hell out of them. I also pre ordered the PS4 remaster and have completed it (not 100% tho). I don't think I need to double dip on this version even if the pricing is lower than a completely new game would have. If it's on sale digitally for like 20€ then I might be tempted, just for the portability.

I thought I'd play more on handheld mode. Like I would get the switch to play lying on bed and take it when I travel and such. And at first I did enjoy the handheld mode more, mostly at home still. For me the switch is too expensive to have with me to throw on my backpack (even on a hardened pouch) and I easily get a bit nauseous if I play in a train or in a car.
And the console is just a bit too large / heavy to hold for longer periods of time. So on the sofa trough the (not so big 32") tv with a pro controller is the most comfortable way to play the switch.
