Personally, I think the WiiU is still worth a look in 2021. The number of games ported over to the Switch keeps increasing by the day(that’s good!), but there’s still some exclusives that make the system worthwhile. I picked up a used 32 GB one along with 8 games (Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Smash, DK: Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D World, Star Fox 0, Nintendo Land, so on) for like $250 off eBay; not exactly cheap, but I have most of the system’s best games for the original price of the system itself! After a little clearance bin shopping at GameStop, I also found the original Splatoon, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Pikmin 3, and Lego City Undercover for about $35. The two Zelda HD remasters and Xenoblade Chronicles X may come to the Switch eventually, but for now most (barring Twilight Princess HD) can be found cheaply on the second hand market.

Remember Codename: STEAM, where several characters were locked behind amiibo? Heck, anyone remember Codename:STEAM in general? (Wow! What a flop! Shame I I paid full price for it.) Anyway, the game allowed you to play as Fire Emblem characters in a steampunk strategy third person shooter by scanning in the amiibo for Marth, Ike, Lucina, and I think Robin. Since amiibo were mostly used for inconsequential Smash stuff, I think those were the biggest chunks of dlc hidden behind amiibo.

I’m considering picking up SAO Fatal Bullet or one of the Naruto Storm games ($6 is cheap).

I definitely want to get both, but I’m holding out for now just in case they get released physically.

@NautoAis211Dx No matter how much I’d love an English dub, it’s probably not happening. Now, a physical release of the two games on the other hand...

Still a little annoyed with Nintendo of America for the lack of a Western physical release. This is a long unlocalized first party Nintendo game, for crying out loud! It should have a snazzy limited edition akin to the really nice Fire Emblem:Shadow Dragon 30th Anniversary edition, with a replica cartridge and faux Nintendo Power cover poster for Ninten Detective Club (or something like that). I’d even be fine if they just brought the Japanese LE over here. Anyway... I was onboard with buying both Famicom Detective Club games as soon as I saw the trailer, but I might hold off for now just in case a physical release is announced during next month’s Nintendo Direct. Both I and a younger sibling are really into Ace Attorney and other detective games, so I’d prefer to share one game between the two of us.

I'm still hoping for a physical release of the two so I can share it with a younger sibling.

To quote a certain character in the game: "I have...what? 25 years until the next sequel?"

I've never let classification get in my way of enjoying the Zelda series. I'd personally define it as an action adventure with RPG elements. On one hand, Zelda doesn't have common RPG trappings like EXP (except for Zelda 2) and multiple party members. On the other hand, there is a clear sense of progression as the game continues: you gain more health, magic (depending on the game), stamina, and different means of attacking through
tools. Zelda has never been as reliant on numbers as more traditional RPGs, but BotW included additional RPG elements in the form of upgradeable "magic" through the Shiekah Slate and upgradeable armor. In short, some Zelda games are more RPGlike than others.

The Best Buys in my area have stacks of these. These didn’t sell as well as Nintendo imagined, I figure. I bought this day of release assuming that it would be strictly limited and sell out fast (like almost every other limited edition Nintendo thing), but ends up I was wrong. I almost regret picking it up; for the same price, I could now have picked up a Neo Geo mini. I hope the low sales figures don’t discourage Nintendo from doing something like a Game Boy Classic in the future.

It was fun while it lasted. Personally, I would have liked Mario 35 to expand to include stages from Mario 3 and World.

I still need to get through Octopath Traveler and Bravely Second! Five years should have been enough, but BS has been on my back burner for a long time now.

Wow! If this was in the Nintendo Direct a few days ago (a playable Dinosaur Planet 64), that would have made the Direct for me. It happened with Star Fox 2 on the SNES Classic, so why not Dinosaur Planet? In all seriousness, I am very tempted to download this ASAP because its only a matter of time before this gets taken down by Nintendo or Microsoft. I might wait for it to be playable on emulators, but only time will tell.

I clocked in over 100 hours in Breath of the Wild before losing my saves after literally running my Switch over with my car. It was under warranty and I got a new Switch in exchange, but I have never been able to get back into it. BotW is not one of those games you can replay like OoT, MM, and ALttP IMHO.

I've been waiting for this to be released on the Switch for some time.

I’m still playing through Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and recently finished AI: The Somnium Files.

I concur with Chlocean; this lofi 3D computer graphics look is so my aesthetic. It reminds me of fiddling around with old 90s computer programs.

As a long term Fire Emblem fan, I’ve really been liking this game. The flaws and features missing from the game compared to the more modern FE games are obvious: little characterization (no supports), no battle summary before attacking, no visible weapon stats or movement tiles, and generally slow gameplay (having Codename STEAM flashbacks). Yet, the simplicity of the game is oddly refreshing; there are no Paralogues, Xenologues, supports or grinding to get between you and the game. The game gives you more units than you could ever put on the screen. Unlike subsequent FE games, there is no expectation to level up all of your units; the game expects you to lose a few units along the way and replace the old units with new stronger upgraded units. Strangely, I’ve found FE:SDBL to be easier than some of the more modern FE games. This is the fastest I’ve gone through a FE game, as I’m already halfway through the game in 3-4 days.

Welcome to Camp!

Huh. I thought these were delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus.

@mike_intv Same. Doom BFG Edition isn’t on Switch, but I wanted to at least have a portable copy of the original.

Sheesh, I just bought OG Doom a few days ago at full price. Probably going to pick up the rest.

Atlus: “Which ports would you like?”
Me: “Yes.”

I played through the entire thing a few months ago on Steam. Its... not very good. It definitely takes inspiration from Zelda, but it lacks that spark that makes Zelda special. Really, it doesn't have a spark to make it feel unique. Combat's ok (heavy emphasis on bow; does expect any Zelda-like items like a hookshot, boomerang, or anything special) but the game was a bit on the hard side. Music is blah; inoffensive, but so basic and using so few sound channels that it sounds cheap. Its hard to overstate just how important music ends up being for a game like this IMHO; its only when the music is bland that I realized how much it adds to the experience.

Really looking forward to the Crypt of the Necrodancer/Zelda crossover. Both have great music, I'm digging the aesthetic, and a Zelda roguelike sounds like something I never knew I wanted.

@NooshyZelda Try @HAADA

@NooshyZelda All out.

All out.

@Combohero You're welcome. Been doing this since the smash demo (along with lots of others).

@Combohero K. Done.

@GP_Playz Still need that code?

Anyone still need a code? I've got two. Just give me your email if you want one.

Huh. Wish this was a single player demo. 😓 It looks like one can only play w/ two other people. Hope that the online servers can handle the load in the next few days.

I always squee when I see that yarn Yoshi. That big nose, d'aww. I'm sure my kid sister would LOVE that amiibo (she's not big into games, but likes stuffed animals and Yoshi). Don't have WiiU myself, but the game looks good.

Great for those who don't want to shell out 40 bucks for OoT3D. Game is a classic (as it always will be), so it's good to have it on a current system.

First low stock, then theft, and now destruction. Amiibo have become such a hassle for what is essentially a Nintendo Skylander.

@jjmesa16 Fates might be a good place to start. It'll be a while, though, so in the meantime you might as well get Awakening. Not all FE games follow the same continuity, so there is no material to catch up with to understand the story. Awakening is technically a distant sequel to the original FE games (where Marth was the commanding lord), but knowing their plots is unnecessary ( no real need to). Awakening does have a lot of callbacks to previous FE games (for fanservice), and Marth does appear as part of the story. Awakening was a good place to jump into the series as well, imho.Do you have a WiiU? One or two of the GBA titles are on the VC, but they are a bit harder than Awakening. Sacred Stones is the easier of the two, and more closely resembles Awakening and Fates(Hoshido). Make of this what you will.

The disappointment is palpable. I don't even own a WiiU (sorta regretting that now), but I can feel the disappointment. It is almost like bait and switch (new WiiU Animal Crossing game/party game). Akin to the Sony Final Fantasy VII debacle last E3, but maybe even worse. Sony has corrected that mistake now, so here's hoping that Nintendo does the same.

The name is fine. The singing in the trailer sounded kind of awkward in English (as most covers do). Wish they gave out more information regarding the game. Saving info for another direct, I guess.

The 3ds co op games for both the Zelda and Metroid series have rubbed me the wrong way. Not big into co op, so these are not for me. Love the series, dislike the new 3ds games.

Guess I'll have to get a next gen console then. Oh well.

@sagen The release itself does not disappoint me. The fact that the game is not on the 3ds is what disappoints me. I have Mother 1+2 on the GBA, but I can't read Japanese. Wanted to play a fully translated Mother on the 3ds. No Wii U, so I miss out.

The Balloon Fight underground section was my favorite, personally. So unexpected!
Don't have a wiiU, so my excitement was very well tempered for Super Mario Maker. It seems better than both Mario Paint (it's spiritual predecessor) and Warioware DIY (it's Warioware equivalent), so it should be good. Hope that the community and Nintendo keep the title alive for several years. If Nintendo pulls the plug on Wii U online services in the future (like it did for many WiiU and DS games), SMM will be effectively dead. That is the issue with those sorts of games.

No WiiU, so this is kind of disappointing. Would like it to be on 3ds.

Please understand.

Here's hoping Guile's Theme is one of the music tracks selectable for the Street Fighter Stage.
Also, I guess Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden is not coming to smash.

@Kevlar44 Xenoblade Chronicles 3D was able to squeeze the massive XC onto the 3DS (although on the New, more powerful hardware). The file size came out to about 6 GB, I believe. Porting trickery should squeeze Hyrule Warroirs to a reasonable size. High capacity carts are nothing new as well, so HW3D might come on a high capacity cart. All guessing right now, so I'll wait and see.

@Kevlar44 samurai Warrior Chronicles for the 3ds had a lot of content and a lot of DLC. I think that Hyrule Warriors will be able to handle the DLC. Personally, I hope that they include all of the DLC on the 3DS cart, as it has already been made for a while (something like the GoTY editions on other consoles).

New Zelda for non Wii U owners? Nice. Another game to preorder (especially if there is a limited edition involved).

Any USA love here? I'd love to have some Splatoon inspired froyo. Hope some U.S. Franchise picks this up.

Still waiting for any other New 3ds exclusive games besides Xenoblade Chronicles.
