Time to guess the Direct date. Place your bets.
GameStop's database shows new SKUs for Switch
Rare Replay
September *cough cough* !
September 4th or 5th, this way they don’t need to shill Astral Chain but they can still cover Link’s Awakening
It's coming home baby.....
Imagine being so incompetent that you buy a studio full of legendary ip, don't use them well for about 2 decades and have to give another platform the catalog again cause the audience evaporated on your own.
Fucking lol @ MS
Minecraft Earth, trailer will segue into reveal of Steve DLC character for Smash.
Can the switch even run all of the games on rare replay?
All it needs are the N64 and before stuff (along with Star Fox Adventures)
Newest games on it are for the 360 so yes if they have the source code.
>Steve DLC character for Smash
None of the games are Xbox One level, so yes.
>edited game list
This worries me, I hope they mean adding games and not taking away from it.
Imagine if Rare Replay for Switch included all the same games + Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and Starfox Adventures.
It would probably be very heavily reedited (ie only the Nintendo owned games, XBLA BK-BT ports swapped out for emulated N64 originals, GB/GBA games added in) but the Switch's hardware is about Xbox360 level anyways
I know that "leak" from earlier was bullshit but at least keep Viva Pinata
Hell, it being on a portable might actually revive the franchise
They could spring for the DS version instead. Still, Viva Pinata always seemed like it would've been a great fit on Nintendo alongside Animal Crossing.
>but the Switch's hardware is about Xbox360 level anyways
Why do you talk out of your ass.
Switch is a one screen system
You could only do dual screens if you're willing to sacrifice the portability
That makes no sense user, we already got Cuphead and Ori, Both of which have Microsoft Studios credited on them and are on Switch.
I don't think MS is thinking it needs to protect their original Xbox exclusives.
There were Wii U VC layouts that just had both screens up at one which they could use
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d be down to replay Star Fox adventures. I’d be pleasantly surprised if that showed up in there.
That's actually really cool
>spend more time putting in a working 64 emulator into rare replay
>or just keep the 360 port and call it a day
If they put it on switch at most they could add a few things but anything else would be too much of an effort for MS
I really hope one of these is MP Trilogy, but they're probably holding onto that until closer to MP4.
Didn't microsoft literally just say they weren't planning on porting anything else to switch
>mfw no pikmin 4
That's a misquote/sensationalist headline. The actual quote is:
>“The past year has been an exciting time for us as we have more than doubled the internal creative teams making up Xbox Game Studios. As these new studios transitioned in, we were aware of some existing commitments to other platforms and will honor them. However, going forward these new studios will focus on making games for our platforms. We have no plans to further expand our exclusive first party games to other consoles. We continue to believe deeply in cross play and progression of games with the right flexibility for developers to insure a fair and fun experience.”
Meaning that new games made from now on will be exclusive.
This. If they wanna suddenly add killer instinct to switch, that game came out in 2014. But even if a switch pro could run it. They’re not putting a gears or the latest gears title on there.
“It’s almost finished”
-Miyamoto, before the switch was even revealed
What the fuck even happened to Pikmin? It went from "It's almost out!" to absolute radio silence even worse than any other game Nintendo has!
>Potentially changing the lineup
Welp, say goodbye to Banjo-Kazooie HD and hello to N64 emulation. They've been saying for ages now that they can't bring Rare Replay to PC because of the 360 games, no way they're going to figure that out for the Switch
>Meaning that new games made from now on will be exclusive.
Reminder that this doesn't eliminate Halo: Masterchief collection on Switch.
And it was leaked along side Cuphead, Ori, and Rare Collection.
first week of september i guess
>Time to guess the Direct date. Place your bets.
September 11
All I really want right now is a Switch WarioWare. It was wonderful to see the WarioWare community actually being alive for once back when Gold came out, and the threads on here about the game were really fun. Really, I just want them to build off of Gold's strengths and continue having the characters be fully-voiced, it really helped them all stand out for themselves compared to previous entries in the series.
However, a new Wario Land or Wario World would be even more hype. I can dream...
It’s almost like it was gonna go Wii U, they tried to get it on the switch, probably had to make compromises out the ass and Miyamoto just said “fuck it this series doesn’t make enough” and cried
A MCC switch port would probably come after EVERYTHING was finally out for the PC version. Lowest on the priority list, but still not impossible
Technically, yes. I doubt Microsoft would port over most of their Xbox 360 era games though, on the Xbox One version of Rare Replay they all ran through the backwards compatibility wrapper and weren’t native ports.
Going back, grabbing the source code for and/or reverse engineering over 9+ relatively old games (Including Kazooie/Tooie and Perfect Dark, as those were 360 remasters as well), getting them to run on the Switch and packaging them in a (possibly) $30 bundle would be quite an expensive feat.
It still suffers crashes after a couple matches on the Xbone this many years after it released, can only pray a Switch port wouldn't have the same issue.
Jesus Christ seriously?
>Nintendo announces FE collection
>it’s all the fire emblem games up to the GBA era
>digital version releases the day of the direct
Stupid question but how impossible would getting the wrapper to work on switch be? It’s all X86 at the end of the day
I would want this more than 3 houses
I remember someone saying that we would probably get a Direct a few weeks after the Nindies thing.
Im hoping for Super Mario Odyssey 2 and maybe a new Wario Iand
I just want some more bing bing WAAAH hoo!
So it’s pretty clear a direct is coming but around when have past september directs happened?
That’s the pattern for the most part. If we get anything before the end of the month it’s an astral chain direct right before release.
Pretty much impossible; it’s been (vaguely) stated by the Xbox BC team in the past that the Xbox One hardware contains to some degree a subset of the 360’s feature set built into the console with backwards compatibility in mind. The Switch wouldn’t have this, it also doesn’t have an X86 processor (It uses ARM) which would make getting the wrapper to run on it realistically impossible.
I don’t understand why they haven’t done so already. They released sacred stones as part of the ambassador program for the 3ds. They also released the original NES and SNES fire emblem game on the JP virtual console for thre 3ds, but hey never brought them to the west despite awakening and birthright/conquest selling like hot cakes in the west.
>MCC
It doesn't have to be that. They can just sell each game individually.
Nintendo did make that Mario summer vacation tweet earlier today.
That doesn't sound like Nintendo. They'd remake all the games, one by one, and charge us 60 dollars for each game.
Surprising it’s ARM with all the ports it’s been getting. Makes sense though especially with the Xbox one having 360 parts to help with BC
Never ever. Next FE on Switch will be a Genealogy remake in the TH engine.
practically always, it's usually either august or september
Very serious. Just played two CE games and had it crash on me first hand.
>reviewer sites like polygon and kiketaku will shit on genealogy for not letting you pair Sigurd up with other men
I’d rather they remake sacred stones if that’s the case.
I would think slightly tweaked N64 games would be piss easy to get running on a Switch versus full 360 games.
Remember Persona 5 in the Best Buy data base?
That's what I'm saying
I'm dying for a Bing Bing & Wahoo game on the switch. Either that or remake PM 64
Oh shut the fuck up about switch already, all you fuckers do is bring up the same titles you have no fucking games for fucks sake beside downgraded ports.
I genuinely think there was something going on there. Either they’re waiting on the port for a reason, they wanna get royal on the switch which would be more than just porting the PS3 version like many people assumed a switch port would be, or Sony started throwing lods of money at atlus demanding it stay
Half the threads are talking about three houses, astral chain is out in a week (shouts out yoko taro) and Mario maker is barely even a month old you sack of shit. I can enjoy some ports on the side.
Minecraft Earth is a phone game you fucking mongoloid
Nintendo never does these kinds of collections, they're so far and few between
MM2 is barely even 2 months I mean. 3 houses is barely even a month
I just hope we get some sort of remaster/re-release of Mario Sunshine or Starfox Adventures.
I haven't played those games since 03, and it's absolutely criminal that there's no way to play them outside of an actual gamecube or emulation.
Dolphin is too janky for me.
I can't wait for the shitstorm when Halo gets announced for the Switch
It was probably planned for wii u but then the switch happened and it's entirely possible that they had to rework major things. That or they're just taking their sweet time
I really do hope we get SOMEthing soon.
It's not happening.
Pikmin 4 was rebooted
Already coping lmao.
A lot of big nintendo properties underwent big changes when moving to the switch, so it wouldn't surprise me to hear Miyamoto delayed the whole project by years because he decided to reinvent the wheel. Or maybe it was like Prime 4 and he decided it would be better to start over from scratch than let it be released as is.
anyone else want final fantasy tactics on switch (and pc)?
>>reviewer sites like polygon and kiketaku will shit on genealogy for not letting you pair Sigurd up with other men
>I’d rather they remake sacred stones if that’s the case.
No, they shit on Deirdre and Julia for being too submissive
what will we get first?
Banjo or the Direct?
Doesn't the direct always come first?
I’d believe Sony money hatted that.
Remember persona 5 completely stole the game awards show.
With basically 1 song and a picture
GOW got like 40,000 mentions
Jokers in Smash had 1/2 a million at 10:30 at night
I remember thinking Pikmin was gonna be launch year
nah I meant is it usually towards the end of september or early, I could have sword last years was pretty early on
last year was august iirc
See what I don't get is why it's fine for WarioWare to have full voice acting and so much soul yet stuff like Paper Mario being it's own RPG is bad.
Was year was september and it got delayed because of the earthquake
>ywn be a delusional isaacfag
inb4 no Smash reveal
The Direct giving a vague “soon guise:)” or actual date for Banjo.
