Would be day one if could sync with the pc. Probably will pass.

@darthstuey I do that with PS4 and Xbox, anytime my son wants a game I buy it on my accounts and he is able to play and use online functionality. This is the primary reason I adopted digital on both platforms. Only have to pay for one game and one subscription.

I personally don’t think they need to put Link’s outfit in every single game on a Nintendo system. Kinda diminishes the value imo.

@NiaBladerunner I’m holding out for 8K.

@flojomojo definitely! I never got this one but I did have Sewer Shark. Jurassic Park and Sonic were the best for the CD IMO.

Price seems steep for a bundle including two games I’d never buy. 1 2 Switch should have been a free pack in from day one. Tennis Aces is bargain bin bound. I love Nintendo but these games won’t move consoles and they don’t feel like a “bonus” at that price point.

@EightBitMan I’ll just say if the Switch was really supposed to compete in the same space as the Xbox One and PS4 I’d agree. It doesn’t though so I have to disagree. I enjoy it for what it is, a powerful handheld game system that can also play games on a TV. (A feature I never use) Next time you want to compare the switch to the other consoles take the other two out with you and play them without your tv. I’m not dying to have the 3rd party games you mention on my Switch, I have an Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and PC for those other games. As the install base continues to grow, more and more games will come. Hardcore gamers would probably always have other game systems in addition to their Nintendo. What’s wrong with buying a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games? I don’t get the hate.

Sweet, the arcade edition of the original sells this for me. I’ve been wanting to play this again since my buddies and I used to blow quarters on the machine back in the 80s.

For all those [removed] at Nintendo, take something you own, something you created. Imagine everyone telling you that you either make it available or they are going to go and take it anyway. Nintendo has a massive old catalog of games obviously and it is solely up to them and their investors which ones they work on to release again. Many are in a state of legal limbo due to expired licenses etc. I’ve no idea how much in terms of resources it requires but if Nintendo thought there was a huge profit potential they would likely make more of these old games available. Either way the entitled stance that so many take is just ridiculous. Nintendo owes nothing and it’s sad that we live in a world where there are so many people who are fine with stealing something if that is their only means of obtaining it.

@Agent721 exactly! Back in the day I had the NES advantage joystick and NES max game pad. My friends and everyone I knew said N E S or just plain ole Nintendo. Back then we really didn’t have to differentiate until the Super Nintendo came out in 91.

@NESlover85 I had my original Enn Eee Ess back when I was in 8th grade, it will always be Enn Eee Ess to me.

Serves them right.

I look at these numbers and it just blows me away that they likely sell more shoe horns than Xbox Ones any given week. Sad

People should look places beside Amazon. I had no problem ordering a copy from Best Buy, which has already shipped and will be in my hands Wednesday. Was at my local Wal-Mart this morning and they had at least 3 copies still in the case. I’m glad to see it’s doing well. I’ve been looking forward to playing it since it was announced and even more so after reading some reviews and watching some clips from the game.

@thesilverbrick not hard to believe at all really, the Toy-R-Us that was in my town stayed virtually the same from the time they opened in the mid 90s until they closed earlier this year. In a way I hated going in there because it felt so dated. I do miss it now that it’s gone. Only place in town for toys now is Walmart, that sucks.

It sounds great and I can’t wait to snap it up next week but I have to wonder if there is really no storyline, how does it end? Maybe it doesn’t? Can’t wait!

@Paraka I lol’d

Looks like they did an amazing job to me. If you have to run the game in slow motion to nit-pick then then I’d call it a success. Anyone that would argue I’d challenge I’d have to ask them to compare visuals without a TV. Switch wins hands down.

Almost completely handheld. I played docked a couple times while working on Zelda because I didn’t want to stop when the battery was getting low.

Very cool story.

@smashbrolink there wouldn’t be much to report if they couldn’t sensationalize it at least a little. Very easy for GameStop to check carts before accepting them. They won’t be stuck holding the cards. Just like they test a console before accepting they would test the carts as well.

@rjejr well I truly believe they want to please the gamers. At the same time though, no money = no game. They can’t develop the games for free and while the companies are probably run by folks that definitely want to maximize profits, the folks actually making the game probably care very deeply about how the fans feel about their work. If I were a game dev I’d take great pride in the fact that my game had a huge following and Sony’s actions would definitely disappoint me as it frustrates the very people I’m trying to please.

At the end of the day Sony doesn’t want to see its customers enjoying an experience in a manner they did not intend. Maybe Fortnite will be out for Vita at some point. I think it’s crappy personally and only tend to play exclusives on PlayStation. I reserve my Xbox/Switch/PC for everything else.

I haven’t played this yet on the switch but I did play it extensively on my iPhone and iPad a few years ago. I don’t understand how the touch controls on the switch could be different or worse than an iPhone. I had no issues playing on an iPhone 6s Plus and the Switch has a larger screen. I think the game is a welcome edition to the Switch library.

@Snow-Dust not only that but the threat in April was about the removal of game kiosks that were up this week for E3? This article is rather confusing and seems incorrect in some way.

@NEStalgia that’s cool and to each their own. I’m not bashing ALL motion but some motion controls are just a gimmick. Point I’m making is that making them the ONLY way simply turns off folks like me that don’t want to pretend to throw a poke ball.

@SethNintendo even so I still wouldn’t choose to play that way, if I had my choice for any FPS it would be mouse & keyboard but I play a lot of consoles so that’s usually not an option.

@MrBlacky Pokemon, like Tetris, has been played without motion controls for decades. I’m not dismissing the idea of having motion controls, I’m dismissing the idea that they are the only way. I just simply think it should be a choice. I don’t like motion controls, I started gaming in 1981and to me motion is gimmick, imprecise, just not something I enjoy when playing a video game. Obviously I only speak for myself, but if Nintendo chooses to exclude folks like me, I just think it’s a poor business decision.

@MrBlacky Some people just don't want to. Its no big deal. When I first heard about the game I was interested. Now I'm not. Nintendo makes a decision. I vote with my wallet. Peace

Looks pretty bleak to me. I’m not even trying to compare the Switch to other consoles but when a mobile game I played back in 2014 on my iPad is in the Top 15 announcements from E3, what else is there to say...

I think it’s amazing that folks that love Fortnite can now play on the Switch and bring that with them anywhere. My son loves the game and now he can play and not be tied to the Xbox.

Lots of folks saying it drains the battery. I would prefer it being hard on the battery over Epic killing the experience. Battery packs are cheap if folks have WiFi but no AC power. Game looks great. Nintendo needs some more mainstream support.

For those of us that aren’t huge Smash Brothers fans there just really isn’t much huge to look forward to in the short term. I’m awaiting Octopath Traveler but not much else for a while it seems.

@TreonsRealm if I had to guess the voice chat is being handled by epic. Just shows Nintendo could do the same thing if they decided to join us in this decade.

@YANDMAN Na I played Ikari Warriors a lot at the local convenience store when I was a kid in the mid 80’s. I’m kinda surprised it wasn’t on NeoGeo. I also had the NES version but it wasn’t really anything compared to the arcade.

No Man’s Sky was pretty bad unfortunately so I hope it’s better than that. That’s 65$ and several hours of my life I’ll never get back

@YANDMAN yea yea I’ve already been told that it wasn’t a Neo Geo game... that’s a shame.

@JoakimZ that’s a bummer, I didn’t realize that.

The lack of Ikari Warriors has me thinking I might just get the collection for Switch and call it a day. That’s definitely one of my favorite games from back then.

@retro_player_22 Yep they had me at Ikari Warriors, me and my friends dumped some serious quarters in that machine when we were in jr high school.

@NewAdvent Don’t question them, it is a “guide” after all.

Now they just need to 3D print a shield that doubles as a switch case and they can wear their Nintendo Switch out to Halloween.

Oh well, just when I thought we were moving away from horrid motion controls. I was going to pick this up but if motion controls are mandatory then I’ll definitely be passing.

@Likethepear I don’t play fortnight but my son loves playing it with his friends. It’s vastly different from Splatoon.

Such a deceptive title when there is virtually nothing concrete or announced.

@DrJoson I agree. They don’t seem special at all when they give them to you and everyone has it. Having to go to Gamestop makes it even worse.

I think the NES mini was a test to gauge interest. After selling millions they decided to go with the classic edition consoles in place of a Virtual Console for the switch. I think a Nintendo 64 Classic is quite possible but I think that’s where it stops. I suppose they could also do a Game Cube classic but it would require a lot more storage. I’d get in line if they did.

@admwllms I hope gaming doesn’t venture too far down this road. I enjoy buying and keeping my games. I’d rather buy it for another system than stream it on a system that can’t handle it. I just don’t think the experience will be that rewarding.

@BradC40 Yea I feel like like Nintendo is using the failure of thee Wii U to justify the prices of these “ports”. Sure there is a large audience that hasn’t played them but they are still ports of older last gen games. 60$ is a stretch. I’m with you, 40$ and I’m picking this up.
