Yeah, we're definitely due an Earthbound HD Remake.

Wow, that's pretty brutal timing for otherwise important annual life events

Super Mario 3D All-Stars: Optimized versions of 3D Mario games Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy are coming to Nintendo Switch in one package.

I get huge Tactics Ogre vibes from the game, but I don't think the Demo dives into it enough for me to say if it's good or not. From what I played I liked it. You'd have to also keep a really close eye if it goes on sales, if it's anything like Octopath Traveler it will rarely go on sale. Hell, it took almost 4 years for me to get the game for $30 (Switch). I just got it like a month ago.

I’m happy with the Switch I’ve got

Here's a look at some of Nintendo's upcoming Labo VR stuff Sounds like a bunch of tech demos more than actual games, which is kinda disappointing. I wonder if they'll ever make anything with more substance.

We're getting Double Dragon II, Volleyball, and City Connection added to the NES thingy in June.

RIP 3DS

Thanks folks! That's good to know. Same! ...I'm one of the minority who really liked the GameCube one too, even though it took such a different approach (it didn't get all the gameplay right but it was so sweet and atmospheric). Though those two came out at around the same time, I think...the games have been more confused since then. I do have the 1st Story of Seasons on 3DS but I don't think I really got into it for some reason. I'm a sucker for aesthetics, though, and this one looks great.

Yeah, as long as they don't get rid of the old plan, I won't holler too much other than my own laments. If they were upgrading all this to dash away the old plan, I'd be a bit more up in arms about it.

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if this was the gimmick for the 'New' Nintendo Switch Pro. Higher specs but no portable option. Just a dedicated console.

That's why I loved that best buy gcu thing. Nintendo games take fucking forever to go on sale and even then, gcu was basically the sale price lol.

And less of a loss when they inevitably find a way to break it.

Wish they'd release a regular joy-con with the normal d-pad too. It's weird that they haven't yet, since I imagine it can't take that much extra effort to produce.

I got a Turquoise one! But I haven't played it much yet, and may not until Pokémon comes out (I got it on pre-order because we could get it at a higher Argos discount for a limited time, which meant I saved £30 on full price). First impressions of the hardware are good - it has a nice feel to it, and the size difference to the original Switch is such that you don't feel the screen size suffers much, but it's more comfortable to hold and definitely that bit more portable. Also, with the OG Switch in handheld mode you do occasionally feel like the joy-cons are at risk of clicking off the main body of the machine without you meaning to, which isn't a disaster but it can be a bit awkward and it's just something you're quietly aware of. With the Lite that isn't an issue. Although the Primary/Secondary Switch setup business is still confusing and a bit of a nightmare (especially re: saves and so on), I was relieved to learn that although you need Wifi to play games downloaded onto your primary Switch from your secondary Switch, it literally just uses it for a second to check the game isn't in use. You don't have to maintain a connection the whole time, which is what I initially thought they meant (which would obviously be pointless and awful). So it seems like you can literally just set up a wifi hotspot on your phone for a minute, let the Lite connect to it then disconnect and keep playing.

Honestly...I'd just get Diablo if you want to scratch that itch.

According to Nintendos website it supports any game that supports the mobile feature.

I never played any of the others, because the gameplay never interested me all that much, but the last Hyrule Warriors wasn't canon, so I have a bit more incentive to give this one a shot.

I’m starting to get hyped for the Links Awakening remake. Seems this style would be great for a new Earhbound/Mother too. Just saying Nintendo...

I'd feel more comfortable with a TV only option as well. I have to watch my kids like a hawk with the thing. It's mainly for them (I've used it all of once I think), but there is no way in fucking hell they are ever undocking the thing considering how badly they treated/treat the Wii U gamepad. >_o

I picked up Cytus α today. Only played it a bit but it looks like their are a tonne of songs, so there should be some good stuff in there. I'm pleased to see there's a DJMax section (I wish we could get DJMax Respect on Switch...)

Depending on the price, I'm interested in Little Town Hero

That Direct was somehow hype without the big guns and now the N64/Genesis expansion feels worth the $$$

Yeah, don't need an OLED Switch with a slightly larger screen.
