Better fucking believe it.

No arcade scene where I grew up. Had to just stare longingly at Neo Geo games and wonder what it was like to play them. Never even saw a Neo Geo irl.

Now I will be able to play Metal Slug while taking a shit. What a time to be alive.

I saw Neo Geo at EB but it was like..$800 I wanna say..never had a chance

It was never supposed to apart from a niche audience that demanded the arcade experience at home. In terms of what it set out to do, it lasted from 1991 to 2004 and was successful.

The Neo-Geo CD was the effort to be the real home system, but long load times and lack of software support killed it early.

GETTING PUMPED

Wario ware was fun once upon a time

Wario Ware is fun enough for me to boot my 3DS up for. Dilons Wild Western seems awesome.

Don't think Inside Story was 2. 3 or 4?

Detective Picachu looks amazing

Undertale?????

Wish i hadnt bought the crash trilogy last week...

Fuck another game ive already played but now wish i hadnt

Dynasty Warriors avec Link skins...meh

Im not a shooter guy but splatoon has a strong fan base

Smash!

I expected smash but im very hyped. No MM port so that's reasonably ruled out completely and all eggs go into the sequel bag now.

Legit shocked Nintendo got Undertale for the Switch considering the main reason it hasn't been on consoles was due to how part of the game worked.

:lol: at the Dark Souls amiibo

Its been on ps4 for ages

Didn't know about that.

How did they work around having to change game file text, reset the PC/game, and other quirks in order to progress the story for the PS4 version? Just gutted it from the game?

Explains it better than i could

Was hoping for an update on the virtual console. Kamiya teased he wouldn't make Bayonetta 3 if they didnt get moving on the VC. People who dont have a sense of humor now freaking out that there wont be a Bayonetta 3.

Perfect choice for the Dark Souls amiibo btw

Praise the sun!

I CAN FINALLY GET CRASH IN JULY!!!!

Is it a new smash or the WII U Smash?

All I need now is Secrete of Mana to come to the Switch.

I haven't seen it, I don't know what it's purpose is, but I am getting that damn Dark Souls Amiibo I swear.

It's unknown if Smash is a port or not, but at least we know there's new content at the very least. Not just the Inklings, but the silhouette of Link shows him in BOTW gear.

Personally, I think it's going to be like Splatoon 2. They port the base over so it feels similar, keep all the old stuff, add a lot of new stuff d then use it as a platform to bring free and paid DLC to for the rest of the generation.

Neither the Direct nor the website for the game specified but likely a 3DS & Wii U enhanced version based on rumors. Link appearing to be based on Breath of the Wild's Link would fit with the rumor of certain stuff being tweaked for the Switch.

Yeah REAAALLLY want square enix to work out a deal with nintendo, so we can get some classic final fantasy on the go.

Apparently it's been worked on for over 2 years, so it's going to be like the Splatoon 2 model. As much of a port as any new game in a franchise using the same engine.

Could see an Arms character getting thrown in there. Would be a perfect fit for smash.

Beyonetta seems like a good bet for smash

Shes already in it.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa shows how much i remember

FUCK IT CELESTE THEN

:lol:

If Mega Man is still in this, maybe they could add Bass.

Omg yes.

Director of Fire Pro World has been teasing a huge announcement for months. People thought it was the NJPW deal, but on the last stream he said that wasnt it, and the big announcement is still coming.

So I'm thinking its a Switch version of FPW. Its the only thing I can yhink of that could live up to the hype of this announcement.

It would be a perfect fit if they can get a CAW server working.

I don't think you could do it without one. Especially given that you need quite a few edits to start Fire Promoter mode.

Totally, but you know how Nintendo can be and the NJPW tie in is probably enough to shift some copies regardless

Mario Tennis looks way deeper than I thought it would be. More systems than Street Fighter X Tekken, ffs.

Also, just started Mario Odyssey and oh god its so good. On the sand world now.

This game has put me in such a good mood that I won't have to beat any children to get through the day.

You could just beat them for fun still.

It's just not the same when rage isn't involved.

Still dont have switch. Playing some PS3, PS4, Wii U games I never got around to. I'll get one eventually, only thing I'm worried about is missing out on Splatoon 2, I played the hell out of the first one.

I think Nintendo are going to support Splatoon 2 for the life of the Switch rather than make a new one, so I think you'll be alright.

Wanna try Xenoblade chronicles 2, but the main character's pants are way too stupid looking. Can't deal with it.

Really hope we get some kind of remaster of the first three Metroid Prime games. Never got to play 2 or 3.

in the first xenoblade you could customize them all with different pants, armors, etc, but every single item looked really fucking stupid. If that one thing bothers you, a lot about the series will bother you. It's a big step away from XenoGears

Captain Toad is the first touch screen heavy game to get a port. Theyre using a weird looking cursor to allow tv play. Will work for that game.

Gives hope for MM2. Though that particular method wont allow for the frame perfect precision designs that you had with MM1. Still its a sign theyre looking for solutions to the problem.

Nintendo Switch Online.

Feel like theres a little discussion that might be worth having. Im aware im about to post a minority opinion:

So this service seems awful.

Theyve taken the xbl/ps+ model (that i hate) and made it much worse.

Firstly instead of current games like the competitors youre getting 30 year old games. More over most if not all were previously available for actual purchase on the wii and or wiiu. More on that later though.

Cloud storage isnt bad feature but its offensive when you have sd card support but deliberately block saving save data to sd cards. Youre forcing me into your service by restricting basic functions of a feature you chose to include...also some games cant have cloud storage...why?

I fully support locking online behind a patwall. Providing the service has overhead. However i cant get hyped about paying for something next week that is free today even if its objectively the right call for nintendo.

I do like subscriber only merchandise. Thats fun, i dig it.

At the end of the day this isn $20 annual and its still over priced. The VC from the wii, wiiu and 3ds are substantially superior to what theyre trying to sell me. Previously i could find a game from 10ish consoles and buy it. Own it forever. Now its netflix but for titles of their choosing and specifically from NES. And when these servers go down in 10ish years ill have nothing to show for it.

Nintendo has had the vastly superior shopping experience for a decade and for the first time in their existence they got in line with the industry standard the one time it would actually detract from the products quality.

Im not getting NSO and without online smash has much less value...i canceled my preorder.

I dunno.

I know this will be a less popular opinion but surely im not alone on this...yeah?

that's a pretty popular opinion. Closely tied with "meh".

It gets worse. If you stop paying for your subscription, your cloud data is wiped. So, even if you lose or break your switch or just stop playing for some reason, you still need to pay the subscription if you want your saves kept for later.

The actual wording in the fine print is "unable to guarantee that cloud save data will be retained after an extended period of time from when your membership is ended."

I dont think itll delete the second its up youll just lose access. Youll prob have 90-120 days before it gets deleted.

I haven't heard about this happening
