Yup, me too. But I'll probably hold off till Fall until I see Pokemon Stars on it.

Wonderful 101 without the gameplay isn't wonderful 101.
(I really want more W101, though)

As someone who really likes Bayonetta 2 and considers it a great game, I'd say it's a pretty over-rated game. Don't think I've seen a fanbase that worshops a developer as hard as Platinum Games's fanbase (Not saying you're a fanboy, just speaking generally here)
Counterpoint. Imagine playing a 3rd person Mousou game as a Wonder Blue Style Swordsman and then recruiting a whole battlefield of warring characters to form a Giant Sword that is needed to fight a giant mech that has just entered the battlefield
OK Now i really want this game that will never happen

Iono man, From and Hideo Kojima fans...
"Hi, Tetsuya Nomura here. We couldn't talk much about Kingdom Hearts 3 until now because it was moved to be a Switch exclusive. In my mind, that'll look cool"
Kojima has done some really nice stuff. I liked most of the Metal Gears and I loved ZOE2. But I cannot fathom people who think that MGS2 is a good game, let alone a great one.
That would sell worse than Bayonetta 2.

Hmm...I can definitely see the case for From Software and Kojima. No clue who the first one is though

I know this happened last night but I just watched the Podcast Beyond segment on the Switch... And man, was it terrible and uninformed.

Has Disney ever used a Non-Disney IP in their parks?

who give a flying fuck for the sales
I mean, we need to take into consideration three things.
1. The WiiU was a flop. Had it not been, Bayonetta 2 would have sold a lot better.
2. Bayonetta 2 got fantastic reviews and a couple of GOTY nods. It was a critical darling.
3. Bayonetta is in Smash Bros.
They had Star Wars before the acquisition. Likely there's a few other smaller ones but I can't recall them right now.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Twilight Zone and Avatar.
What happened?
Sales are what keeps the lights on.
Publishers who want to make money?

Nintendo could allow them to put Bayo 2 at this point on Xbone/PS4. The proceeds could help fund Bayo 3 development as a timed exclusive on Switch.

Nah, let the thread take its course. This is THE Switch Discussion thread. If things get out of hand, mods will come through and do what they need to do.

Just a poor discussion with a lot of unfair criticisms: https://youtu.be/A1CFRdLG3as
GoNintendo's RMC had a nice rebuttal: https://youtu.be/NBjYUYABHgM
Destin replied saying he's thinking about making an answer video to RMC's to better make his point.
The Great Mighty Poo wins. I'd dig purple. And I'm a guy.
But that's the worst. That means the moment this thread is locked a new thread will be born the next day.

I really think they should port Bayo2 to Switch. It got a high ranking on metacritic on top of being an excellent game. A few upgrades liked locked frame rate and/or higher resolutions and any minor fixes they can add in would be great.
PG's action games are better than musou. I want a Wonder Blue solo game by Kamiya if anything

Older third party games that should be considered for Switch should include:
(especially if some sold for a discounted price!)
- Prince of Persia Sands of Time HD remake.
- Bayonetta 1+2 or Bayo 2+ Wonderful 101
- Resident Evil 1 Remake + Resi 4
- Dead Rising
- Metal Gear Rising
- Marvel Vs Capcom 3
- Ridge Racer
- Xcom 2
- Borderlands franchise
- Ace Combat

Not having Okami HD on that list means I can't take it seriously.

How lol? A lot of the stuff they said was silly. "We saw it running at a lower FPS as handheld compared to when its in the dock."
Lol where did they see this?

I still don't think the Sony podcast should have even wasted time on the Switch especially when the console is not a real threat at all to Playstation as far as the PR cycle on spec-leaks seems to point towards. So the video felt more as kicking the dirt on the platform just to cause fans to react badly at this point.
I feel like they'd sooner port Bayo 1 + 2 to Switch.
In fact, I'd be pretty surprised if they don't consider the massive critical appeal. I'd rebut just to play portably.
That's not how this works...
So is Wii U BC just completely out of the question? Plenty of games didn't use the gamepad or had Pro controller modes.
I'm surprised that the Switch can't just communicate with the dock wirelessly. That would make the touchscreen situation irrelevant.
I guess the Switch probably couldn't play Wii U, now that I think about it, because it would have to have a Wii U mode, which means using the real hardware just like every Nintendo system with BC with the previous generation does. It wouldn't work with the tablet but I wonder if they could squeeze the Wii U guts into the dock... and the undocked Switch is only a gamepad in that mode..

That is how it work. You gotta build.
Yall cry they wont make a new fzero or metroid but some people wont buy the console or jump in the ecosystem because of it. Those game aint some amazing sellers but they build the catalog. Same with 3rd party games.

Give me something Atlus, something Monolith (even if it's just the XCX port), and/or something Intelligent Systems at this reveal and I'll be satisfied on a game level I guesss... maybe. As for the thing itself. They got to, GOT TO get their online service right though. I hope they show stuff related to tha, that at least looks satisfactory until we get to try it.

I'm fairly certain they've established that the Switch itself is the tablet not the dock and the system is now cartridge based, so a backwards compatable Switch would have to have an entire optical drive added onto it to play the older games.
It's more likely that they bring some of the older games (that aren't getting some sort of Switch Ultimate Edition) over as quick and dirty ports (almost like New Play Control games for Wii) and put them out digitally. I can see that happening for Mario U, 3D World, and Wonderful 101 at least. A Bayonetta rerelease seems like it could go physical too.

I'm already assuming Bayo 2 will at least be on Switch. Look, almost ALL Wii U games will end up on Switch so Nintendo can attempt to make Nintendo like Profits.
- Mario Maker
- DKTF
- Bayo 2
- Pokken
- Captain Toad
- #FE
- Star Fox
- Paper Mario
- Zelda TP and WW
- Mario 3d World
- Pikmin 3
-Xenoblade Chronicles X
All these games are coming to Switch! ALL OF THEM. Nintendo won't say that all at once, cause people will blow a gasket. But Nintendo will release 5 or so ports a year, every year over the life of Switch. It is easy money, Nintendo is not in a position to turn down easy money. It also fills in the software droughts.
Some of the games will be enhanced like Star Fox, Captain Toad, and Mario Tennis. Some may be straight ports like Paper Mario and DKTF. But they are ALL coming.
It is crazy to think otherwise.

It's almost Saturday 🤓
According to Laura, we're gonna get Xenoblade X, but the port won't be done by Monolith (implying that they're working on something else).
I really hope we're not just shown a Xeno X port. I hope for teaser of a new game from Monolith.
