And it's looks, sounds and plays fine.
But not galaxy, world or odessey fine.

It looks grand, but I still have to get through Yooka Laylee, so that will scratch that itch. In fairness to Microsoft, between Ori and Cuphead, they've nailed Switch ports (and their performance)

Mr E

Children of Morta reviews for Switch are popping up now. Seems to be 9/10 across the board and Switchwatch says it's a contender for indie game of the year.

Basically a beautiful pixel art Diablo game with randomised dungeons (but a good progression system so you're always getting stronger and getting further).

Out on Wednesday for €21.99 digitally (no major savings in other regions) and there will be a physical edition.

Ignoring all the fuss online, and Sword/Shield players got feedback on what the new games are like?

Aside from Animal Crossing what are the big Switch games due for 2020? Doesn’t seem to be too much of any great quality to preorder from shops

There will be plenty. Nintendo unlike other companies don't announce a lot of their games months/years in advance. For instance Luigi's Mansion 3 and Astral Chain were announced and released in a few weeks.

Nintendo are concentrating on Xmas at the moment. New games for 2020 will begin to be announced in a direct in January.

Maybe Bayonetta 3, BOTW 2, Deadly Premonition 2 & No More Heroes 3. The latter 2 I don't expect to be particularly great tbh.

I forget but Shin Megami Tensai V might release but I won't hold my breath. It was announced nearly 3 years ago now.

Nobody has a clue when Metroid Prime 4 will come out either as they scrapped that and restarted again after announcing it the year prior.

Or did they????



:pac:

But yeah, Nintendo are great for keeping things under wraps, i prefer to be surprised to be honest. The constant feeding of trailers and new screenshots to increase the "hype" does nothing for you but spoil the game. Great for marketing, bad for you

Thats why Nintendo the bomb yo! /hi5

Pretty sure both of those were announced in 2018, nearly a full year (if not more) in LM3s case

9 months ago from what i can tell from youtube.. and the games out what, 3-4 months?

Still beats 3-4 years :P

I would love to see a roster of stone cold classics appear on the Switch roster for 2020.
I guess the complaint was "Not enough sequels to the IPs we love" versus "why no new IPs, no more random genres with Mario shoeghorned in!!"

I don't know...
I can live with both.

Give me Metroid Prime 4 and Grand Theft Auto: New Donk City

sligeach

Metroid Prime 4 won't be out next year, it's so far off it may get a dual release on Switch and the next system, akin to BOTW.

There are some known games that could be ready but we've seen next to nothing of them yet, e.g. Bayonetta 3, Shin Megami Tensei 5.

I think there'll be more Wii U ports, there's still lots good enough to transfer. Perhaps even a Gamecube HD remake or 2.

Pikmin 4 might be taken out of the vault. Kirby games are easy and quick enough to churn out, they're almost an annual thing. Ubisoft may do another collaboration with Nintendo, say Donkey Kong/Rayman platformer.

I still can't believe that Metroid Prime 4 is the only new thing that we'll see from Retro Studios in almost a decade by the time it arrives. Why would Nintendo give them the franchise if that was the case?

2020 might see a new franchise from Nintendo's young developers. You could throw out any idea of a new installment in say F-Zero or Kid Icarus but you just don't know with Nintendo.

Ditto. Hoping Empire of Sin proves a nice alternative though.

I see Alien Isolation's release date has been announced as December 5th.

It's digital only though and the collection version including all the DLC on PSN has been on sale as recently as Halloween for around €15. And the Nostromo Edition can be bought new physically for less than €12. Whereas it will be €35 on Switch, it came out in 2014.

Edit: Here's the recent trailer.

Ah, that will drop fairly fast. It's not free to port from PS4 to Switch, so there's going to be a cost. I've learned that a 30% drop for these type of games normally comes around fairly fast, and if you can wait (and I can!), wait!
