    Definitely excited for Saturn and Dreamcast games on the Switch.

    Imagine Burning Rangers at 1080p/60fps with modern shaders. Or Metropolis Street Racer with realtime lighting, shadows and reflections and a contemporary car roster.

    Unfortunately there's nothing available for N64 right now.   I do remember hearing that 8 Bit-do were considering making a wireless controller/reciever for the N64 at some point, so keep an eye out for them.  Their controllers are generally very good (I have their NES30 arcade stick and it's a quality piece of kit), so here's hoping they move up to N64 sooner rather than later!

    They do exist.

    I recall GAME used to sell them here in Sweden before they went out of business. Apparently the stick quality was even worse than on first party units, though.

    So I'm going to get a Switch soon, and I intend to play it on the bus to work. So the question is, what carry cases do you recommend? Most of the ones I've seen are monstrously big, sort of defeating the purpose of having such a portable machine.

     

    I just want to bring my console with me, with joycons. No dock needed.

     

    Cheers :D

    And Dreams, and...

     

    For Shenmue III, we've actually seen some art assets and concept footage.

     

    Anyways, I'm hyped for this, although I'm of the (probably) controversial opinion that it'd be great if they'd use the right stick to look around, rather than changing weapons/visors.

    It makes me so sad that you consider 2D to be filler.

     

    The logical jump you've made here is just surreal.

    A gorgeous 2D game can be refreshing once in a while. But it's hardly anything that gets a wide audience hyped. It never holds a candle to Star Wars Battlefront, Fallout, Final Fantasy or Gran Turismo. The console-selling potential of these games is nigh-on zero.

     

     

     

    And my "logical jump" is hardly surreal.

    Let's look at the new Switch announcements this E3.

    Kirby

    Yoshi

    Metroid Prime 4

    Pokémon.

     

    The two latter are so far into the future that there's not even a proper teaser for them. So... yeah, this is something they're making to fill what's likely to be a massive gap in the 2018 lineup. A hole Nintendo were probably expecting third parties would fill.

    No chance in hell that two 2D games at the same E3 is a coincidence. And Nintendo know that these games have zero potential to be system sellers. They're very obviously damage control, because they didn't have anything else that could be churned out fast enough.

     

    Sorry, but a reveal of any long-dormant 3D franchise would've done more for the Switch than these two games put together.

    So few IP? I'm happy with Zelda, Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Metroid, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Splatoon, Pokemon etc all in the space of one or two years thanks. Arms is brand new. There's only so many original concepts one publisher can make.

     

    I like great games, regardless of whether they're new IP or not. If they released a new IP that you weren't keen on, you'd complain "Where's Wave Race!"

     

    There'll be a Nintendo Direct in a couple of months, maybe then, or the one two months after that, etc.

     

    Well, that's the point.

    The over-abundance of unimpressive 2D stuff did very little to compensate for the lack of AAA content on the Wii U. So the question is: why are Nintendo doing the same with the Switch?

     

    Seriously, don't tell me that you don't think that a realistic looking, thoroughly up to date Waverace or Excitebike with great online functionality and impressive physics wouldn't do more to boost the appeal of the Switch than two sequels to poorly received Wii U games.

     

    This isn't E3-grade stuff. It doesn't hold a candle to anything that anyone else showed off. It's middle-of-october-Nintendo-Direct grade stuff.

    Because they didn't know the Switch would succeed so had to shore up the 3DS to keep it going in case the Switch bombed.

     

    It's simple.

     

    They should've made it for both. Or scrapped the Kirby game and remade Super Metroid for the Switch and make this for the 3DS.

     

    In genereal, I think it's a crying shame Nintendo don't seem to want to port more of their 3DS games for the Switch.

     

    Would LOVE to buy HD versions of the N64 ports. :love:

    Just imagine a single pack containing OoT, MM and SF64 with the enhanced 3DS graphics, in HD and with a few tasty shaders thrown on for good measure :laughing:

    I can't believe we're getting another quasi-3D, but actually 2D, platformer of another character who we've only just seen have a game like this.

     

    Where the fuck is Waverace, F-Zero, 1080, Battalion Wars, new fucking IP?!

     

    Holy shit, since when are people agreeing with me on this? :love:

    Looks OK.

    Just how that this isn't an indication that Nintendo are reverting to their old ways and start churning out cheap 2D filler to be able to deny the presence of droughts.

    Am definitely not getting it, however.

    Overall a good presentation.

    But seriously, after four years, all Retro have to show is a logo and info that MP4 is "in development"?

    And wow, that piss poor third party support. I was hoping it would pick up during the coming year, but apparently not...

    Ubisoft have said: "We have new games on Switch. One new game not announced. One or two others as well".

     

    Ubisoft I think have

     

    Just Dance

    Steep

    Monopoly

    Rayman

     

    And an unannounced title? The Mario/Rabbids game?

     

    Not great is it.

     

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the statement was that they had one more unannounced game for this fiscal year. So it's more than possible post-March 2018 the Switch will have full support. Not saying that that'll happen, but I think Ubi are one of the publishers that are giving the Switch the most solid support.

     

    Yeah that does kinda give off the image that EA haven't developed the engine for switch yet.

     

    Doesn't that confirm FIFA will be port of the 360/PS3 game.

     

    I believe that there recently was an EA interview/statement stating explicitely that FIFA for Switch will be based on the PS4/XBOne version, not the XB360/PS3 version.

     

    I don't think that it makes much sense for EA to put any effort into making an old game engine (which is only built for one game genre) support a new system.

     

    No, I think that EA want a flexible solution that will enable them to port all of their future games to the system.

    To be fair, it's absolutely nothing like those games you mention (there's nothing quite like Punch-Out!! :hehe:) so it's a bit unfair and misleading to say it isn't 'on par' with something like Street Fighter.

     

    I personally prefer it to more traditional fighting games and would love to see it return on Switch :grin: The Joy-Con are perfect for it :yay:

     

    I personally don't see a point in making a game like that again. ARMS seems to be a modern reinvention of the formula and I definitely hope that Little Mac becomes a DLC character in that game.

    What is the point of hori releasing the arcade stick? Wouldn't be surprised if that is cancelled also.

     

    The switch has one new fighting game set for release. No tekken 7 no injustice 2, no marvel vs Capcom 4.

     

    Hori would be crazy to release that stick.

     

    Sucks for switch owners. Really wanted to play Tekken on the go. Lucky I can get PS4 version.

    Well, that's not entirely true. I believe I saw both BlazBlue and Skullgirls get confirmed.

     

    Also, according to this list, Tekken x Street Fighter is going to get a Switch version.

    Next year? Way too soon.

     

    Remember MK8 Deluxe is like a new game to many. They never played the wii u version. Next year would be franchise overkill.

     

    I wrote shown off, not released ;)

    MK8D is an april release this year. Unveiling of the sequel during E3 or an autumn Nintendo Direct, followed by a release by christmas 2019.

    MK8D is something to hold us over, like Wind Waker HD was while we awaited Breath of the Wild.
