Jamba Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Just off the top of my head, would anyone be interested ifthe Borderlands trilogy came to switch? It is Unreal engine after all.

Ronnie Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Not for me, personally. The Mass Effect trilogy though.... The least EA can do after killing the franchise. Edited October 31, 2017 by Ronnie 2

It would depend on who else picks it up. Borderlands is very much a co-op game. I played though all of the first one in a group of 4 and it was amazing. I then played most of the second game on my own and, despite it being a better game, I had far less fun. I think there are far more other games that I would like to see ported to the Switch over the Borderlands series. Tropical Freeze and Tokyo Mirage Sessions are both my most wanted ports. 1 1
Hero-of-Time Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Some indie games are getting a retail release next year.
dazzybee Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Worms?!?! Though if it's still out this year digital I'll get it digital still. Wish worms did asynchronous online play
Helmsly Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 A The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer’s Edition will also be made available complete with a 100-page explorer’s guide and a two-sided map for $59.99. It’s worth noting the expansion pass is not included.
Ronnie Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 That looks like new artwork in the Explorers' Guide, wonder if the guide itself has more.

Hero-of-Time Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Just now, RedShell said: Would monthly VC titles with added online play do it? If I remember correctly, that’s what they were planning. It depends on the games. Actually, thinking about it...probably not. If the N64 games were on the cards then that would be a different story but from what they've said in the past it looks to only be NES/SNES games. Also, if they don't sort out how you can interact with people online and set up games more easily then making these games online is pretty pointless in the first place. 2
Ronnie Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Last we heard their online service was reported to cost $20, much lower than what Sony and Microsoft are charging, so should keep that in mind when comparing to what the others are doing. Edited November 2, 2017 by Ronnie

I'd still rather pay the same as what the others are charging to have the same kind of setup on the Switch. 1

Happenstance Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 An online service from Nintendo would never be something I would pay for without features like that fixed. 1
Ronnie Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I'll wait for them to tell us what their online service offers before judging it, at the moment we don't really know anything about it.

I can’t take this stance anymore. I’d love to, but after repeated generations of Nintendo letting us down in this space, I can’t help but be pessimistic.
Jamba Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 New Arlo video up, dissecting the success of the launch line up and across the first year of the system. Aside from a couple of points, I think that he absolutely nails it:
