Haven't seen it mentioned before but at the end of the 1-2-Switch party trailer, two up from the left+bottom, you can see what looks to be another mini-game reveal. Beating your chest like a gorilla.

Not such a bad thing. GTA 5, The Last of Us and both Metro games were great remasters.

All games I was more than happy with on PS3 so would be of no interest to me.

I get what you are pointing to though and it does help add to the strength of the system if there's plenty other choice, and original choice.

But all we are seeing is re-releases and Zelda(which is a WiiU game essentially)

Splatoon 2 and Mario seem to be the first Switch specific releases and I have a massive inkling(ahem) both, definitely Splatoon 2, were in development for Wii U.

I don't have any problem with them releasing ports of Wii U games at all, as long as they don't dominate the release schedule. It makes business sense if they were very good games. I had a Wii U, I bought a certain game on there, I played it and continue to play it. I wouldn't feel like I'm losing out at all, there's an argument to be made for Mario Kart battle mode certainly, but I don't feel entitled for there not to be ports. Some would like to bash the Wii U for the failure it was, but at the same time wanting to hold on to the very good games on the system exclusively, why not have these great games to a potentially bigger audience while still being able to play them if you want.

Rayman was announced ages ago anyway, why the thing about it now?

The dev Pro Controller compared to the final retail one.

MilesMorales1 · 13-02-2017 07:44PM

Both are nice

Media outlets should be getting Consoles/Zelda shortly right? 2 weeks to go and all.

I highly doubt splatoon 2 was in dev for wii u the first was only out 2 years ago and they likely had the switch in dev then. Its not like botw which was first announced 4 years ago.

Arms , fire emblem warriors and snipperclips would also count.

Everything points to Nintendo rushing this. Third parties are scrambling to rehash some recent classic in the hope of cashing in on the initial gravy train.

Aside from Bloodborne, Sony leaned heavily on remasters of The Last of Us and Uncharted to fill the gaps until they announced sequels, we got the latter but we are still awaiting the former.
MS were the same, with Halo MCC biding the time until Halo 5 arrived, and that remaster contained remasters that were released on the 360!

So, no, Nintendo are hardly rushing it, but Rayman Legends isn't really worthy of a marketing push at all, which is a different thing altogether.

Loved the Metro remaster too, that was like a whole new game, from the incredible visuals to the improved gameplay options.

Looking increasingly unlikely I will be able to afford my switch in two and a half weeks, might need to sell my 3ds collection, my Nes Mini and my Wii U to raise the €500 needed for the neon switch, Zelda master edition and a pro controller, the joys of having no job and no money, might start a go fund page.

*Sits here stroking my receipts for having paid off the Switch + Zelda in full*

I was a little tempted to cancel my pre order over the weekend, as 420 euro odd is a lot of money. But I'm still hyped, Zelda will be more than enough for me for at least 6 weeks, and we don't get new Ninty consoles that often.

Don't tell me you're still feeding them weeks later. If you stop they'll go away.😂😂

Ubisoft releasing the same crap again.

Nintendo really needs to put a stop to game companies re re re releasing games that everyone has a least one copy of or demand it goes on the virtual console section.

Well Nintendo are re-releasing stuff too so they can't call out others now. :pac:
With Ubisoft a lot of games released in recent years wouldn't be able to run on switch. The Division, Watch_Dogs 2, Ghost Recon & For Honor imo would not run on a Switch without significant caveats.
Maybe we will get BG&E 2, Mario/Rabbids RPG & the Assassins Creed Egypt game though.

Is bg&e 2 not already said to be exclusive?

Not sure why u keep referencing other completely different consoles. The thing is, that's why I didn't pounce on a PS4 either.

I remember a time when people bought consoles to access loads of games. Now people seem happy with the console and not much else.

Zero choice, the ultimate consumer hell.

You don't seem to be reading your own posts.
You raised the notion of the Switch being rushed and home to rehashes.
I'm pointing out that Nintendo is following a well trodden pathway of new consoles.
Good for you that you didn't jump for a PS4 at launch.
And no one buys a console at launch and gets to play loads of games, that's why you wait 18 months and get it then.

You're comparing the PS4 and Switch over and over, a simply ridiculous comparison which you're gonna lose on every time.

Your current comparison only makes sense if the Wii U was an equal in success to the PS3. It was nowhere near that. Hence why Nintendo are playing catchup massively and needed a big first year.

They seemed to have missed that point completely, and some of their hardcore fans seem completely oblivious to it too!

Anyway, moving on from the trolls who contribute nothing to the discussion. Direct should be any day now.

I'll be quite happy with the Switch in the first year anyway. Zelda, Arms, Disagea, Binding of Isaac, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, Rime, Sonic Mania, Yooka-Laylee, Ultra Street Fighter, FIFA (if it's a decent enough version) maybe also Xenoblade although I don't think it'll make this year, possibly some unannounced as yet titles and a few I'll naturally discover as well. Not to mention importing any games that may be released in Japan first/only.

Digital would be fine. I have digital versions of previous games on the Vita but not got around to 5 yet.

I need to cancel my online pre order for 1-2 switch and an extra set of joy cons in GameStop tomorrow.

Will I need to bring print outs of the order to cancel? Or maybe some ID?

Thanks

Ah now, come on.
A joke is a joke but you've been on here for the last week or so deliberately stirring it up and being contrary.
Seriously.
And you don't get to call foul seeing as you've engaged plenty of people here in a personal fashion, including me.
