HYRULE WARRIORS!! I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS COMING!!! <3<3<3

Do we know if it's Legends or just a sequel or...?

The definitive edition with all content from the Wii U and 3DS

 

[Thirty3Three]

The definitive edition with all content from the Wii U and 3DS

I WANTED THIS AND PEOPLE CALLED ME STUPID FOR EXPECTING IT!!!!!

HW>FEW

FUCK YES

 

[Pluupy]

Watched for The World Ends With You. A remaster (?) and a new side plot. I guess that's ok. Mostly because of the new plot. That game is pretty solid as it is, so I don't understand why people keep screeching for a sequel. Not everything needs a sequel.

• The World Ends with You announced for Switch

Cool for peeps that haven't played this on DS but I'll just play the DS version.

• New Pokken Tournament DX DLC

No thanks, NOT buying ports of games I already own on Wii U and I could care less about DLC

• Kirby Star Allies releases March 16th

Might end up getting this as soon as my wife gets tired of Mario Odyssey

• Hyrule Warriors coming to Switch

AGAIN! No thanks, NOT buying ports of games I already own on Wii U and I could care less about DLC.

• Mario Tennis Aces announced for Switch

Why do I feel like this game is just a rehash of Mario Tennis Ultra Smash (also on Wii U)?

• Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA coming to Switch

Cool beans...

• Free Mario Odyssey update coming February, features a balloon hide and seek minigame

Man! My wife is never gonna pass me the Mario Odyssey game card! Thanks Nintendo

• SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy coming to Switch in Summer

Summer right? Birthday game?! Gotta put this on the Mrs shopping list

• New Character coming to Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Still gotta get this game...

• Payday 2 character premiers on Switch

Already have this on PC and I barely play this.

• Celeste coming to Switch

Looks interesting. Hopefully this will get a game card release

• Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze coming to Switch May 4th

Seriously Nintendo! WTF?! AGAIN! No thanks, NOT buying ports of games I already own on Wii U and I could care less about DLC

• Dark Souls Remastered coming to Switch May 25th

Gonna have to compare Switch price to Steam version, standard and original.

 

[gameboy]

damn. i like the switch and its capabilities. but these are all old games. i wanted the vita to be a portable ps2 and it was far from it. i wanted the switch to be the new nintendo gen too.
but its just wiiu gamepad2.0

Again, much saltiness on here, lol

To each their own.

To each their own.

i watched GANTZ-0 on netflix. then started to watch the old stuff. 'The world ends with you' is a knockoff of Gantz

Never heard of that before *shrug*.

 

[gameboy]

Never heard of that before *shrug*.

its a good cgi film. mario tennis story looks bad... theyre just adding more broken stuff to resell a broken game. the old story modes were rpgs where you play as someone else, similar to golf story

 

[ceelo]

I loved it. I didn't have a Wii-U so Im all up in those ports and I'm a die hard Souls fan. Hell yeah! I can only get so erect.

• The World Ends with You announced for Switch

Cool for peeps that haven't played this on DS but I'll just play the DS version.

ehh...I would highly recommend picking this up since it include the new side story teased at the end of solo remix(the android/ios port)
and being able to play at a much better res is nice

 

[jt_1258]

I think the main reason there making so many ports despite complaints about them is cause

Spoiler: Different Strokes Theory

different strokes for different folks. Many seem content with at home gaming though with me and others, I've re bought many games and said games I've re bought tend to end up getting more playtime out of me cause I'm more so leaned towards loving to play on the go. They seem to be trying to find some strike of balance between ports for those who like to play on the go and new games for those who just play Nintendo games in general.

Another thing

Spoiler: New Life Theory

is that the Wii U was a flop, there are already more Switches in the wild now then in the whole Wii U's life time. They see that they can breath new life into these games with giving them another chance on a new console that is actually becoming more successful...as in out sold the games original platform's life in under a year more successful.

 

[Deleted User]

why didn't they name the switch the Wii U 2

 

[jt_1258]

why didn't they name the switch the Wii U 2

cause of the bitter taste of what happened with the wii u leaves

 

[Geneolgia]

Dang! really excited for Ys! DK Tropical Freeze and TWEWY are also nice.

How do you play The World Ends with You on only one screen?

 

[Kamiyama]

How do you play The World Ends with You on only one screen?

Easy. The Switch version is the very same version that's been around for IOS and Android for couple of years now. With added Joycon support. I actually liked the one screen gameplay more than with two screens on DS. I bet there's tons of gameplay videos on Youtube for those versions. Just check them out.

Somebody should ask Nintendo wtf is going on there !

First: the most games are wii u games ported to the switch with all existing dlcs (ak Goty Version in my opinion, not deluxe) which cost the same like at the release a few years ago.

Second: they create updates and call it dlcs and again we have to pay for it to use it...why should I buy a goty version and pay for new dlcs? Something is going on very wrong there.

Third: they didn’t really change anything...only the main Controller and deactivate the second display...compile...done !

In my opinion they should drop the price because these are old games and they didn’t really do anything to port it to the switch.

I think very soon the switch will be forgotten by the most people like the Wii U because it seams that Nintendo didn’t learn anything.

My question to Nintendo is: where is Mario kart 9...what’s about a new Mario party? Maybe Mario party 10 DX? No thanks
New super smash bros? Of corse you’re working “so hard” on a port of the wii u edition and will be again smash bros deluxe.

We want new games, not ports of the wii u games.
I own a wii u so why should I buy the same games again? Maybe I should sell my Nintendo switch because I own just 3 games and one of them is new since the release “the old Zelda botw” cause I tried it on the Wii u first and I hate it. Btw: This Zelda should released at the release of the wii u so it’s the first wii u port cames to the switch.
