So like, It's a less than bare minimum rip-off then?
On brand for a Switch release but damn
For that price I expected enhanced remasters of the 3DS versions
Not copy pasted DS LMAO

Although, overpriced DS facelifts worked for Pokémon so, there's a fanbase there waiting

@abbyhitter your profile pic unlocked a memory I forgot about the mum character like I only remember sdeezy, ned, shanaynay, aunt hilda, paris and the racist ones

Nintendo Directs are kinda pointless now
40 minutes of ports like, the 6 new games that were announced weren't even that big (except the Layton teaser)

@Lony85 And two of those are just ports lmao
This year is so dry, but about on brand for the Switch era

"Square Enix has had a solid year on the Switch with these four old ass games"
There's your answer
They're too lazy to translate anything, and they're just porting crusty games to avoid doing anything meaningful
If they wanna rely on ports, FF pixel remaster, Chrono Trigger, old Dragon Quest games would work

It really doesn't, I mean Nintendo have basically stretched out the first 1-2 years of a console over this 6 years.
Over-reliance on ports, embarrassingly limited retro selection, online service has very little to offer, only one Mario game, no Mario Kart.
That's literally the standards of a launch window.

I mean, I gotta hand it to Nintendo, they have a barren library like the Wii U era but they instead have filled it with old games to make it seem like there are games. But yeah, we now have about as much as the first 2-3 years of the Wii, and we're 6 years in.

And I know people like defending this PS4/Steam/Wii U emulator, so I have a simple challenge for you. How many Switch top 10 lists have you seen that DON'T include Wii U games or other ports?

I spent a solid second thinking that game screenshot was one of the mini underground caves in Ocarina Of Time, and not the Roaring Moon cave in Scarlet and Violet

At this point I think Smash is done, really all they need to do at this point is just port Ultimate eternally. You can't go bigger, and anything less is a downgrade (in terms of roster, it still didn't have Brawl's level of single player).

I think like, port Ultimate as a base, then just... A character pack or two (with a story mode) as DLC, and just keep porting it every console gen with character updates.

@Untempered-Link Yeah you don't see Kerrang covering Kid Rock
The whole "we recognise that JK Rowling is transphobic, however be quiet" is like... Idk man, It's weak

I hate the fact that I REALLY want this game, but buying it will directly give money to someone who wants me dead (or at the very least sees me as lesser/invalid) because of how I was born.

To be fair, I guess second hand is an option? Like buying this pre-owned from GAME or CEX will only give the store profit and not the death eater itself

@NinjaGuy69 So you've never downloaded or streamed music? Or used Netflix? They don't give you CD's or DVD's

@NinjaGuy69 No way people STILL have this mindset in the 20's, when we've had about 20 years to get our heads round that concept
By that logic you shouldn't be buying games digitally, or downloading music, or subscribing to streaming, because you're spending money on something you're not physically holding.
Just how far back in the past are you stuck exactly?

Am I the only one who finds it absolutely hilarious that the article's thumbnail has two Wii U games

It's really quite alarming that several ports, a Pokemon spin-off and an 8 hour platformer (as amazing as Snap and Dread are) are so high here.
Imagine Best Wii Games of 2009 list where the top 5 includes New Play Control Pikmin 2, Majora's Mask (Virtual Console), with Other M being the best game that year
Really hoping 2022 brings us new Switch games, other than the 6 we currently know about
