Like you, I desperately want VC on the switch and this list helps to easy my mind, and make fun of the PS4 in the process reggie has always said that nintendo wants to do something different with their legacy titles this time around. I feel, we get exactly that. arcade versions of nes titles with online rankings, remix versions of games like wild guns (with added extra's and online rankings), deluxe versions, joy con support.... I think this is a better thing than vanilla virtual console. Edited April 19, 2018 by action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I just got Hyrule Warriors: The Definitive Edition. Haven't played it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 With the switch, I'm planning on finishing every game I own. With that in mind, and thanks to some free time, I've finished a lot of games lately. that's the beauty of the switch: thanks to portability, there is lots of time to finish your games. I finished both resident evil revelations games, donkey kong, manticore, bloodstained, wild guns, skyrim and payday 2. Only two more games to finish: yooka laylee and bayonetta 1.

Coma16 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Are you 100% them? I don't typically strive for 100%, and rarely go back once I beat the main story, so I'm just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In mario kart, I need to get at least bronze on all courses. With that done, I can "claim" that game. But of course, I'll come back to the game and try to get better achievments, but I dont consider those mandatory to complete a game (would be too much stress and too little fun if it was some kind of obligation).

arnold layne Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I can't wait until Captain Toad Treasure Trackers. Captain Toad was one of my favorite segments in Super Mario 3D World. Let's Go Pickachu! looks great as well. I throw a lot of shade at the Switch, but these games look like definitive great games to me. As for Hyrule Warriors, I expected nothing and was still disappointed. Turns out hack and slash gets old. Quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) so what does everyone hope / expect from the E3 for switch? what I hope: - resident evil 7 port (never played it before but refuse to buy a PSbore just for one game) - metal gear V port (my favorite PS3 game) - mortal kombat trilogy (the 2D one. this one is insanely fun on the N64. now imagine portable multiplayer sessions) - perfect dark / goldeneye port: there seems to be a small chance since nintendo is good buddies with microsoft these days - formula 1 game: I miss spending my sunday afternoon with a formula 1 game - starfox zero port: I think this would be awesome without motion controls. Never played it before since I dont own a WiiU - gamecube remasters like Wave Race, F zero, mario sunshine, 1080 snowboarding: switch already has gamecube controller support and these games are sorely missed on the switch what I expect: not much. but that's ok. the switch already has a very fun library. in fact, the switch library as it stands, is my second favorite of a nintendo console. Until further notice, the N64 remains my favorite nintendo console but the switch is getting pretty damn close! that said, even if only either one game on that list is announced, I would be going absolute bonkers Edited June 6, 2018 by action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 @action What I expect: 1. Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee demo announcements or news 2. Super Smash Bros. demo 3. Yoshi release date 4. Official launch date for Nintendo's Virtual Console (or pay to play) for Switch What I hope: 1. New sidescrolling Super Mario game, even better if it's a 3D World sequel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 picked up Street Fighter 30 today. Tough to play without arcade stick but having so much fun with it. Really enjoying Fifa 18 World Cup mode. Debating on selling it now that 19 is coming out in September though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) 1 minute ago, AxlRoseCDII said: Sounds good starting it tomorrow! a word of guidance when you start this game. First thing you should do is finish some easy missions solo offline so you level up. Then, you earn XP and you can spend these on skills. It is important that you level up your defensive capabilities first and foremost, and in the end you get the tactical combat vest. This gives you maximum protection, which is realy essential for this brutal game. don't bother with the "engineer" skills when you start. if you don't have good protection, you will get frustrated with this game pretty fast, like I was at the beginning. Levelling up protection really opened up the game for me. I mainly play offline, it's fun enough to do so. Multiplayer is great from time to time, but this game is perfectly playable offline singleplayer. any question later down the line, feel free to shoot!

action Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 also, make sure you bring medipacks, will make life much easier! I've clocked in about 60 hours in this game and I've only scratched the surface of the possibilities this magnificent game offers. there are sneaking levels, it's a whole different ballpark. hard to master but so goddamn satisfying when it works. It's like playing a mission impossible movie or something. shit, now you've got me started on this game again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapJon Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 http://nordic.ign.com/switch/15908/news/e3-2018-why-you-didnt-see-metroid-prime-4-core-pokemon-rpg-i Quote Nintendo has explained why some of last year’s big E3 surprises weren’t at this year’s show. Speaking to IGN, Nintendo’s Bill Trinen explained that Nintendo wanted to focus on a shorter window this year rather than showing off some of last year’s surprises like Metroid Prime 4 and the core Pokemon RPG. “There was other stuff that we probably could have included in E3, but is probably a bit further out, and so we decided to really kind of keep the focus a little bit more on between now and early 2019, which I think you saw some hints of there with a couple of games,” Trinen told IGN. “We want to show stuff when we think it's ready to show. Obviously it's not like we've stopped working on any of the things we talked about last year, that stuff's all being worked on,” Trinen added. “We'll just show stuff when we're ready to show it and really, right now, the focus is on two big games in the form of Smash and Pokemon [Let’s Go Eevee and Let’s Go Pikachu].” Sounds reasonable enough for me. SSBU seemed to have done the trick for a buddy of mine, said he'd buy a Switch in December. Mario Party in october was also welcome news IMO, hadn't read anything about that. 20 hours ago, action said: well, you can see above what I hoped for, and I got nothing.

Dude, PS4 has lots of great exclusive titles, if you were to buy one, it wouldn't be just for one game, that's for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not interested in the PS4. sony is the most anti-consumer video game company I have ever seen. a PSTV that doesnt even play half the vita games, blocking of fortnite accounts on the switch, anti custom firmware. their exclusives are trash to my eyes. forced walking, forced DLC, forced always online, QTE's, focus on story rather than gameplay, handholding, cliché stories, dull gameplay, ugly playable characters (horizon zero dawn, god of war).... I'm a switch player for a reason. but nintendo have seriously let me down this year. oh well, back to my N64 then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
