Wow! Final Fantasy 7 on a Nintendo console! I never thought I’d live to see the day!

Friggin' finally!! Let's get this show on the road! I am actually looking forward to playing Sonic 1 with the drop dash! Never played Thunderforce 4 either, so I'm looking forward to that too

Not looking forward to it anymore really. Most of it has already leaked. I’ll still watch it of course, but I don’t expect much else at this point. Probably nothing else left other than a release date for Yoshi’s Crafted World (+ Labo support) and details on Smash Ultimate’s Story Mode (Spirits).

All of these games (except for Gain Ground Arcade, Thunderforce 4 and Columns 2) were previously released on the 3DS. Makes sense that they’d start by porting over the games that they’ve only just worked on recently, before moving onto other stuff. At least we’re getting some of the games that were previously exclusive to the Japan only SEGA 3D Classics Collection 3 (Thunderforce AC). Hopefully that means that Turbo Outrun won’t be far off (even though I’d prefer Outrunners!). Hopefully the next wave will be more interesting though. I suppose this wave does kind of highlight an issue that this SEGA AGES line has in comparison to the 3D Classics series... Releases of the more common games are inherently less interesting than they were before. On the 3DS, even releases like Sonic 1 were exciting because you could play them in THREEEEEDEEEE!!! On Switch though? It doesn't have that same inherent appeal...

Fixed that for you

WOOP WOOP!!! Lethal League Blaze confirmed for Switch in Spring 2019!! The original PC game is incredible and this sequel looks even more amazing! (@Glen-i will attest to the many, many hours of fun we've had with it!) Seriously! Guys! This game! Don't sleep on it! (Also has music by the composer of Jet Set Radio! )

Oh snap!! Awesome news! I suspect that PS4 will be online multiplayer only, while Switch will have local wireless and online multiplayer support.

That’s exactly why they aren’t allowing it for Splatoon 2; it’s to stop people from cheating. What they should’ve done in the first place was to store your online progress, well, online! But because they were dumb enough to store it locally, now they’re stuck.

Well M2 did say that some of the games in this first wave of 15 or so games would be games that have never been previously re-released, but I'd expect most of them to be games that were previously put out on 3DS. Either way, they should all be coming with features that weren't in their 3DS counterparts (like how Sonic 1 comes with the drop dash move and the Mega Play Arcade version); so they should still be pretty interesting!

IN for Carlton!

JUSTICE!! Finally! The cheating sod has been exposed!

@viceview51 You cheating sod! You were using Smart Steering you fraud you!

We’re totally getting Spring yo. Broom Hatter’s out for blood!

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ace-attorney-panel-announced-for-tgs-16-00-jst-on-september-22nd-40-minutes.66811/ First casualty of the postponed Direct! I for one, am looking forward to AA1-6 HD Collection, AA7 and DGS1&2 English HD Apology Collection for Switch! Edit: And another leak!

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/switch_game_cases_will_state_whether_or_not_cloud_saves_are_supported Apparantly developers have to choose to either opt-in or opt-out of cloud saves by ticking a checkbox when submitting their games to Nintendo. So it basically means that every game will support cloud saves unless the developer specifically doesn't want it to be supported with their game...

A good chunk of Japanese people can’t even watch it right now. The entirety of Hokkaido has lost power (over 3 million people live there); not to mention the effects on Nintendo’s own infrastructure (they need to get their N back! Amongst other things of course, but especially that N!) Plus, you know, it’s a gesture of respect for those that have been affected by it (including their own staff).

Tear up your hype tickets, Southern Rail have let us down again

I think you've fundamentally misunderstood how trains work. Nintendo Hype Trains work a bit differently than how you'd expect...

It'll be the greatest Smash reveal trailer ever! Edit: Goddammit @S.C.G! You sniped my joke before I could post it! I'm onto you... Hi there. Oh what? A DS version you say? Nah mate, GBA all the way!

I'll take 10!

Oh yeah, there's some fab stuff on Gamehut. Love his deep dives into how he pulled off certain tricks on the MD, like the FMV intro to Sonic 3D Blast! And his work on the Director's Cut of Sonic 3D Blast is amazing! Speaking of Youtube videos... AverageTrey just released his documentary on the history of the 120 Shines speedrun category for Super Mario Sunshine! If you have any remote interest in speedrunning, I highly recommend a watch!

Well I literally JUST beat SML2 again yesterday for kicks, so I'm voting for Link's Awakening! Gargoyles Quest is damn good though! If you haven't played it before, I strongly recommend it at some point! (Even though it's absolutely balls hard! - No! Because it's balls hard!)

Oh they will have communication features... ... ... via the app

Looks pretty fantastic! Basically an all new mini Pilotwings game, except on land and sea instead of just in the air.
