Nintendo likes using older technology to save costs. By using newer technology to upgrade the Switch (despite it being minor), prices are obviously going to have to rise. It doesn't seem like rocket science here. Profit margins are probably the same between this and the old model, just a slightly higher cost per unit.

@johnvboy You know all opinions are subjective, right? I'm not saying I'm right. Just saying what I thought about the game. A lack of content. I have PGA Tour 21 if I want to play vanilla golf.

@johnvboy Not even close. The switch game is one of the dullest games I have ever played. Shame

I mean, Mario Golf Super Rush is selling. That's nice. This is probably the first Mario sports game I have regretted buying at full price. There just isn't very much there. I started replaying the 3DS and Gameboy advance games and this just doesn't compare.

I mean. I am getting this in the hope that Sega keeps giving their old franchises new love whilst expecting very little. Infinite lives seems like an option that will suit me so seems like a decent callback. At least it isn't a full price £50 game.

Wouldn't it be funny if the changes to the tutorials was to increase the amount of Fi dialogue

I mean. i'm mixed about this game already. I think it will be a great party game and a good online game like the 3DS game was but... I just have a feeling that the single player 'rpg' bit won't scratch the itch I've had since the GBA days. Hopeful but realistic.

@BloodNinja Giving fans what they want is a cashgrab?

@Crono1973 Tell me why 3D games are better than 2D games? Why would they be worth more?

I agree with this. I think Nintendo did well but I was more hyped from Microsoft's conference. Nintendo's conference targeted core Nintendo fans really well but Microsoft's seemed more wide-ranging to me. Made me want an Xbox for the first time

@fafonio I think that Fire Emblem are better games but that they need to take slightly longer between games (Three Houses story didn't fit for me). Agreed that these games are excellent however and hope they become successful enough that WayForward get to make their own game

If this makes the Nintendo Direct I will burst out laughing. I enjoy darts and enjoy bullseye but we all know what sort of game this is.

@bones 8.6 million ps5's have been sold apparently. That's probably why

@the_beaver You know all reviews are opinions, right? Impartiality doesn't really exist. it's not about trusting a site it's about making a decision using your own nouse about the information you read on the internet.

It makes me worry for every one of the 23 million people that follow this clown. I still remember his so-called apology video years back and it clearly hasn't clown him down.

Really happy I can understand Japanese so I could just switch stream. I get that the English presenters are trying but... wow

A weird part of me wants this.

Maybe take the Iphone approach and just call it a Switch 2. It won't happen but it's nice to dream. If it doesn't happen, Switch & Knuckles is the dream

Bought it last year on the Japanese e-shop. It is good but not great. The London 2012 game was far deeper and this is much more arcadey. Online mode is pretty dead but it's alright fun.

I like the visuals.

Generations on Switch would be pretty great. It is probably the greatest game and I always wondered why they left that format to go on to Lost World, Boom and Forces

The game is on mobile phones. Smells iffy to me.
And, by the by, reporting on rumours is part of being a journalist. You can't just wear blinkers and pretend to ignore leaks and rumours. If you don't like it, maybe don't click on it when it clearly says 'RUMOUR'

I like the Stadia idea but I think Google have half-arsed it. They only just put in a search bar and they don't have a library that is big enough to warrant the subscription model. I will say the idea of video game streaming is sound and will grow over time, but they need to understand what consumers want in a way that Google haven't. (I.e. Charging full price for games when the model works best with the subscription idea).

Another bad game to join the collection. Nice.

It's really sad that I want to buy this just to tell people I own the Peppa Pig Switch game.

1. Fire Emblem Awakening
2. Stella Glow
3. Zelda BOTW
4. Ghost of Tsushima
5. Monster Hunter Rise or The Witcher 3

Hard to pick a top 5 and this changes constantly but The top 2 always seem to stay the same

11 and 9 are both amazing. 9 is probably my favourite, followed by 11, 8, 5, 6 and 4. The rest are sort of together as a pretty good lump. My favourite RPG's without any doubt and I wish it got as much press as Final Fantasy in the West.

I want a physical version and I'm going to hold off for a while just hoping they will release one. Happy they're releasing such a niche title though.

@BlackenedHalo Strongly disagree but games are subjective, innit.

Worldwide MMO would be cool. Other than that, DQ12 feels inevitable but would kill for a remake of DQ9 to the Switch, probably the best game in the series.

I mean. Its late but its definitely a good thing

@Rutkowski87 You could just go to a different site and let the people who enjoy this one, you know, enjoy it.

@Lukandon Exactly like it.

@Lukandon The Atelier Series is a much more laid back series of RPG's; usually focusing on wonder and mystery instead of world-ending threats. I get why the reviewer called this a con but to some, simplistic storytelling is a good thing.

I mean. I'm buying it but that's because I have a problem, not because this looks excellent. Style might bring it through for some.

Seems apt it released on April 1st

Is it just me that finds the fact Konami are on that list hilarious?

I mean, I bought it but I'm not proud of myself.

I just like the concept of giving these games DLC. I find it genuinely hilarious that you can get extra maps for cluedo and extra 'content' for the Game of Life. What a world we live in

@Snatcher I believe that Kirby is a Nintendo franchise.

I mean, I would love to buy it but... That price... It's why I haven't bought the first one on Switch. It's RRP is $14.99 on Steam and is constantly on sale. I don't really think up-rezzing a gamecube game is going to add much so why is it $29.99. It's just too much, man.

Got to say, despite never playing the first game, very excited to play this. I have always enjoyed Pokemon spinoffs and this looks like it will be as good as I want it to be.

Recently bought V-Rally 4 for Switch and think that is pretty great. Of course, these games would be better with analogue triggers but I'll probably pick this up eventually

A little surprising as I was reading better things about this. Shame really

I like the idea but... Darn. Great potential just wasted by making the game too simple. If the movement feels bad in a platformer, the developers have made a mistake.

Honestly, I think it looks great. Don't get why the art style is divisive but that might just be me.

I've wanted to play this for a while and I would very much hope this comes to the West. Doubtful but sometimes you get lucky.

Not a Nintendo property but I would consider Ghost of Tsuhisma one of my favourite games of all time without actually finishing it.
I think forcing yourself to finish a game can actually ruin the experience. I forced myself to finally finish Skyrim before Christmas and it just became a dull grind. People game in different ways and that should be okay.

Unrealistic expectations will always hurt you.

This looks excellent and I am very excited
