I'd actually like him to be an evil James Bond. Someone who drives an expensive car, wears nice suits and spends a lot of time at high-end casinos. Imagine him sitting at a fancy poker table, playing against Jason Statham and antagonizing him because of his cockney accent and general lack of sophistication. Letting Statham know that he sees through the disguise and is toying with him just because he knows Statham can't do anything. And like any good Bond villain, he'd have this big, elaborate lair which the Expendables would have to destroy. And of course, he'd have to die in a very over the top way, like getting strapped to a rocket.

Speaking of which, anyone know what happened to 90's arcade racer? Seemed quite polished and finished before it just evaporated.

April 1st. Enough said.

Personally, I'm not too interested in 2D games. But I do hope that when VC does arrive, their 3D games will feature improvements like 16:9 support, full HD and a more solid frame rate. And yeah, I don't see particularly much point in bringing over the original versions of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask or Lylat Wars, when they instead could make HD ports of the 3DS games.

I definitely hope so. I got Stick of Truth on a Steam sale. Binge played it and I finished nearly every single side-quest. Anyways,I created a video covering my thoughts on the Switch's first week on the market.

So I just saw this: So basically, Reggie has confirmed what everyone already knew. But he still confirmed it! So let's start this thread about what we want to see in the new Smash Bros. Personally, I'd like a more substantial singleplayer campaign, something akin to Subspace Emissary. Also, I'd like to see Inklings as playable characters.

There's a lot that could be improved over MK8. For example, there could be a more substantial single-player campaign. I thought that the four cups in Mario Kart 64 was a bit archaic when I got that game. How about something akin to Diddy Kong Racing instead? Also, I don't want to unlock characters and car parts by random. Give players coins so you can unlock the stuff you want, in whichever order you want. Or create specific tasks for players to complete. That being said, I wouldn't actually mind if the next Smash would hold an identical visual level with the Wii U version, and thus reuse assets and just expand upon it. Yet again, I'd like a more substantial single player mode. Something perhaps similar to Subspace Emissary, only perhaps deeper.

Any problem that can be fixed with a patch is a non-problem, IMO. So that seems to be great news.

Really, I'd say that having a non-scratc resistant screen rub/rest against hard plastic isn't really an optimal solution. No matter how designed, it will eventually hurt the screen. The inside of the dock should be lined with some sort of soft, smooth fabric.

Did Nintendo pay to make this an exclusive, or did the devs just like the idea of the Switch?

Regardless if they have a presentation or not, they better have some games that will be ready for launch IMMEDIATELY. Looking at the Wikipedia list, there are only SIX games coming out for the Switch in June and July. Of course, that might change as games dated for "2017" get more specific release dates. But still, as is right now, that period seems to be a drought. And of course, their presentation needs to be all-out AAA-mayhem to compensate for the lack of such games being announced thus far. Seriously, no time to brag about getting a sequel to TankTankTank and no pretending like timed exclusivity for the next 2D Rayman is a big deal.

Am I right to say that the Switch is a bit of a mess? Joycons disconnecting, poor wifi, straps getting stuck when you put them on the wrong way... wow, I'm actually happy I didn't get the thing. Hopedully the controller and wifi issues can be fixed through a patch... otherwise I see Nintendo having to redesign the system, potentially even make recalls.

I'm not sure if anyone's covered this already, but have you guys seen this? Early concept art for Breath of the Wild. While I loath the look of Link himself in this art (makes me think of some horrid 80's/90's cartoon show I can't remember the name of), I find it interesting that Nintendo considered to give Link a motorcycle. Other concept art also showed an Independence Day-style flying saucer mothership over Hyrule. Makes me wonder if they might actually include a more modern Hyrule in the next game. Maybe allow Link to thunder along the plains on a bike or a Final Fantasy XV-style car.

Was referring to the presentation. One 3D game I'm looking forward to is Racing Apex.

Because 2D is quite niche nowadays... apart from on phones. There are LOTS of 3D indie titles out there, so one may wonder why those games aren't coming out for the Switch. Rocket League is for example a massive omission.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but... ONE 3D game? That's absolutely ludicrous!

I'm so hyped that I made a video about what I wanna see in the next movie. Do you peeps agree?

I've been hearing for quite some time that Microsoft want out of the console business. That they want to sell the Xbox brand. Not strange considering that the original Xbox was supposed to be a multimedia device, not a console.

Just put out a retrospective covering most games by Rare for the N64. Only games I haven't covered are Killer Instinct: Gold, Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day. None of which I have.

One upside with "cartridges" is that theiretically, developers can put a writable partition on the cartridge itself. Personally, I hope that it'll be possible to write patches and DLC onto your Switch cartridges in the future. If nothing else, it'll make retro game collecting way easier in the future.

Awful car to begin with, but the sprite didn't look like it belongs in Street Fighter at all.

When it comes to retro games, each forum has a bunch of games that end up on virtually all top lists. However, there are also great games that never do end up there. So the idea for this thread is to share recommendations for games that should deserve more love. I'm kicking it off with part one of my first retro gaming video:

I've had the opportunity to play the console hands-on!

Sort of. It was the kind of game where you wouldn't feel like playing it at all for six months, then suddenly you get an urge and play it for several hours a day for weeks on end.

Don't think so. Probably it's more a matter of the specs drawn up by the higher ups. The Wii U was supposed to carry on the legacy of the Wii, so I think that had a lot to do with how the gamepad turned out.
