Castlevania Mirror of Fate, already ported to 360, would Love to see it on Switch

Also, can it read Cbr/Cbz if you already have them? Again, I doubt it. But at least that would be something.

Um, don't care too much about comics but I could stand to read The Walking Dead comics. Doubt they come included for $8 tho

I could have told you ten years ago, 2D games will always be fun and we will always want to play them. Its deeply sad that they stopped making 2D Castlevania games. Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclessia are some of my all time fav games.

Additionally, what really matters across the board, 3D games or not is that things are playable and look at least acceptable on the switch. Honestly I dont care at all if you can play a fancier version on another console. If you can make it playable on the Switch, do it. I will happily take a cut in graphics that I will never notice or care about cause otherwise I will probably never play your fancy new game.

Ditch the motion controls and provide regular controller option and Im sold. Always wanted to play this to see if it was better than Twilight Princess, which I hated, although I have loved basically all of the other Zelda games. This is one I never played, even as a die-hard Zelda fan (stupid motion controls).

Add monthly mailings of free Nintendo swag like figures and whatnot and I'm in. If it ever goes up to $50 a month forget it.

Really I don't get it, what does this get you other than the ability to play some crappy limited-time NES games?
You can't charge people for the ability to play things online, that's absurd. Not that I have any idea why you'd need to play anything online really in the first place.

Hm, well it's interesting, I'll probably pick it up if I can.

Yeah, Wild Canyon, honestly it's still a great song. And Rogues theme was good too.

Sweet, there were a couple of decent tracks in that game. the other song with the same singer was my fav tho.

And the "Youre at a disadvantage" aspect is probably annoying..

Awwwwwwwww! What a disappointment. This looked AWESOME from the trailer. But who needs another boss rush, let alone a game that is nothing but. The relatively low price-point was a red flag, but still, I hoped for better, like maybe the game was just kinda short and could one day be expanded with DLC. The bosses LOOK amazing, but if they are all there is, that leaves next to no context for why beating them would be satisfying.

Oh Well.

This phone dealy will never be a competitor to the Switch. The console market is practically impossible to break into. The last successful entry was Microsoft's XBOX back in like 2000. And some zillion $ phone with crappy controls isn't going to cut it. It might be great for phone sized gaming but competing directly with the big 3 just doesn't happen.

Meh, those are pretty well all games I don't care to play or revisit.

As for emualtion and piracy, the best deterrent is for Nintendo to provide such a service themselves, duh. They don't seem to think it's worth the time or effort but they are wrong. And it can't be all that difficult when one homebrewed program or app can run so very many rooms perfectly on loads of other platforms. Time to wake up and get on board nintendo

All excellent points. I foolishly hoped way back in the day that Nintendo would make thier entire back catalog available as a thank you to long time fans and as an introduction for new players. But no, they've gone the stupid way about it all along. This new offering is paltry at best and a shame. Nintendo Netflix would be an acceptable means and I'd go for it. But they do need to include as many of the old systems as possible on a technical level. And if they need to pursue license agreements, well, they need to get on that.

Awesome! Cant wait to play the new one, may replay the first one in the meantime

Yea but it cant possibly be playing games from CD, so its the wii motherboard, but it runs roms i guess? Neat, but I pretty much hated the whole wii generation. No motion controls I guess, although, they were the larger part of why I hated the wii in the first place.

Oh, although thats actually not a bad price at all, hmmm.

Aw, I really loved this game actually but I doubt Ill get it. I actually love the soundtrack, very chill, very good. But I dont know what Im supposed to do with a record in this day and age An actual cd soundtrack would be more tempting for me.

Oh my...........
Well there's almost no chance this won't be absolutely horrible. But Monster Hunter too? Guaranteed that's gonna be lackluster, boring, and awful...

Indeed, the 3ds version is actually a million times better than the original. And it's still an incredible game, though and through

Super cute but its really just a steering wheel, so eh.
Also, What is the game being played? Thats probably a stupid question but I honestly don't know. It doesnt look like mario cart and I cant think of any other driving game where it seems like Toad is driving around an open world?

Its a pretty good game, but not sure Id bother to double dip for it at this point. Still, for new players who like puzzle/physics games, its good, if a bit frustrating sometimes.
It's probably more fun to play in short bursts, just fyi.

Well that's a shame. SotN is the best Castlevania ever and for a long time was/is my fav game ever. Its not going to sell great on ps4 compared to what it would on Switch.

Well that's just insane, both of those games are excellent. I just finished my replay of Zelda and cant wait to replay Mario again as well.
Still, Katamari was fun, at least the first one for sure (it had the best music) and it'll be fun to play again.
Do we know if "Reroll" is just the first game or if its the collection?
I played 1, 2 and the PSP katamari and would probably play them all agian.

Have to confess, Ive always loved these games. I played the arcade ALOT as a kid and played lots of the console games as well. The very first arcade game isnt the very best of the bunch, but it is always good fun. Ill def pick this/these up.

Hah, glad Im not the only one tired of the recent glut of "procedurally generated" games. Oh as if that's something new, or even positive. It's called a cop-out people. As in the game designers knew their game was generic and so they just said oh well.
Dear Lord I hope we never see the day when Zelda goes that route. Can you imagine how lame?

@NImH Amen to that brother thumbs up

I'll totally buy it again for switch. Its a flawed but really addictive game. Ive played it several times on 3DS and on PC (cause of the extra content). But really, the controls on the 3DS were ideal.

ok, no offense Yacht Club, I love ya, but maybe now you can focus on making an actual sequel to shovel knight?

If a game comes out on two systems at once then I don't think it's exactly a "port". These days it takes so long to make a new Zelda. BoTW missed the wiiU window by so long I'd say that it's primarily a Switch game, which was also " ported" to the WiiU. Plus, they have dual-released before with GC/Wii for the lamentable Zelda TP (I just hated that game to bits, tried to play it many times and I just hate it).

Always wanted to play this, still looking forward to it, and it's about time

The first one was insanely hard but I really really enjoyed it. Im sure this one will be awesome too. Although I hope that the first one gets a re-release for Switch as well. But Im thinkin theres a pretty good chance of that now

i'd take a copy for free, sure! nice that its actually open to NA residents

very similar indeed!

Haha, thats my vent for the year, I promise

MMORPGs have partly ruined gaming, are stupid and no fun (in case you didnt realize, warcraft is a hamster wheel of pointlessness). At the very least, the world certainy doesnt need any more multiplayer games of any kind. Who but kids have enough friends irl? (Party games? Okay fine, beyond that, screw games that cannot be played by a single gamer, utter trash!!) And everyone online is a useless jerk. What about when those servers go down for good ya bozos? Those games wont be preserved for any future generations because they cant.
Currently its "Roguelikes" that are eroding videogame playability these days. With the idiocy that is "permadeath", stupidest single concept EVER, and "procedurally generated" assets (read generic, pointless, and never satisfying - a cheap move laughably pawned off as a new idea), videogames are continuing to be eroded down to nothing these days.

What are some good games?
Zelda BotW
Mario Odyssey
Axiom Verge
Hollow Knight
Xenoblade
Shantae, etc
Resident Evil Rev
Monster Hunter 3, 4, etc
Bayonetta

The world doesnt need more MMORPGs. Phew, I needed to vent
Thank God its not all gone to pot, there are still good games to play.

cool, dont know anything about these games but Ive watched the show all this time. Probably check these out once they are all out.

Sweet, I had always wanted to play Diablo3 but never had the chance to do so.

Sounds good to me as I pretty much gave up on turn-based rpgs long ago

Great game, I just wish they'd have made that sequel. I think there was sort of a tech demo online, but I don't think it has ever become a full game.

$20 on the eshop? Cool, I never did get around to playing this game back in the day and my brother loved it.

well that sucks, emuparadise was great for the once in a while rom download. nice and easy, they had everything you could want. but i suppose there will always be somewhere to get roms if you really want them.

i just hate the whole "somebody got taken down and now were scared too" thing like when megaupload went down years ago. sad day, ALOT of great stuff lost forever as sooo many sites just bailed after that out of fear of similar repercussions. still, its the internet, you can still get most of whats out there if you really want to.

its just so pointless for nintendo to be worried about ancient games that they havent distributed in all these years and may no longer have rights to anyway.

When the Wii came out, one of the selling points should have been an emulator on the console which allowed you to play ALL of Nintendo's ancient back catalog. If you can do it yourself on a computer, why the heck cant Nintendo seem to be able to figure that out?
Plus, it would be a really nice thank you to long time customers like myself and a great entry point for newer customers. But noooooo, they just wanna make a buck now and milk everybody for everything that they can, for the millionth time..
They arent all bad but this stuff is BS.

What sites are being shut down? I didnt even see that in the article...
Also, back off Nintendo, who are roms hurting? NO ONE. They are ancient games and if Nintendo hasnt made them available then Im glad someone else did.
Not to mention, what about all the other roms which arent nintendo related? They have no right to cause those to be lost forever.
Unless its a current-gen system, ROMS are fair game. At the very least, for long-defunct systems, Roms are a necessary means of preservation of our gaming heritage (and Im not kidding).

Doesnt look like this includes the back story DLC about Torna, so I don't know why it says final... Im still waiting for that since the season pass seems to be like 90% new game plus related.
Wonderful game, but with as long as it took to play through, a replay wont be any time soon.

Sweet, I was less than enthused with the odd/unexpected Crash trilogy release, the 3rd one was the only one I really played/liked at all. But a Spyro trilogy? Oh yea! Now you're talkin'. They were a bit childish but colorful and very fun. Hope this happens and pretty sure it will. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

Neat! I'll check it out when I get home

Hmm, would be nice to actually see the 64bit version...
Also, isn't this game getting a physical release at some point?

Oh snap, I was interested in this since I didnt buy the special edition physical copy when it came out, it had a neat statue with it, but cost like $90, so I passed. Anyway, I didnt know this version was going to come with a slipcase and artbook. Anything with an art book, Im sold! (I more-or-less triple-dipped for the recent Shantae Half Genie Hero, and it was worth it for the art book).
Gotta go reserve this, ayeeeeee!

Well Im at the World Tree trying to kill Amalthus, all my drivers are LVL 72 or better but I cant kill him no matter what I try. Im just off grinding through affinity trees atm to try and gain some levels. So if theres a difficulty adjustor, I may use it to fight Amalthus. But for the most part, I never had much trouble in this game in general, difficulty-wise. It just sucks because there's nothing else to do right now except progress the main story and I'm stuck. Ive loved this game to death so I have every intention of finishing, whatever it takes.
