I kind of wish they'd remove Lucina (and Dark Pit and Dr Mario) in the enhanced port (not happening I know). They're all wasted slots in their franchises.

Wasted slots? There are no such term for it since clone characters are free characters that got added to the roster at last minutes. If it wasn't for it then we wouldn't able to get Falco, Ganondorf, Dr.Mario, Wolf, Toon Link, Young Link, Roy, Luigi, Jigglypuff and Pichu in their respectful games.

What a dumb excuse for people use when they doesn't get their favorite characters.

Its lower because mass market mobile chips can be made better for less. They can pass the saving to us while still hitting their margins


Its price doesnt make it any less powerful than the chips its said to have inside

Wait until he start comparing polygon counts, shader complexity, AA/AF levels, internal render resolution, texture resolution, dynamic lighting and no HDR.

It is what it is. Some people perceive value based on what they see.

They were added in last minute to expand the roster, something that can easily be done with more unique characters by DLC now. Were the series to continue without those clones in past games, Ganondorf, Luigi, and possibly Falco would have been added in anyway (and Ganondorf with a better moveset probably). Lucina of all clones is not different enough from Marth to warrant her being there (especially now that Roy was added in and is a much better than Lucina since he's a semi-clone), which is a shame because Fire Emblem has a large arsenal of characters with a lot of different weapons that aren't currently represented in Smash.

My mains are Toon Link (Young Link in Melee, along with Jigglypuff) and Lucas and I'm not even a Fire Emblem fan so I don't know where you're getting at when it comes to favorite characters. I saw Young Link and Pichu as wasted slots as well (and am glad that Pichu wasn't made a semi-clone in Brawl and we got Pokemon trainer instead, and I still think Toon Link is here when they could've done Skull Kid or someone else), and if Lucina were to come back with a moveset and physics that aren't just Marth's without a tipper, that'd be nice, but that's not going to be the case. If anything she should be a costume like Alph was, which is what she was originally intended to be, and it'd be better to see an axe wielder or an archer or another magic user fill up that slot since God knows we don't need to see Fire Emblem taking up 1/6 of the entire roster.

I've been thinking lately about all the handheld/3ds franchises that have never been on a home console before and how it's good that we're going to be hopefully getting new HD versions of them.

To be honest all I can think of right now are the Mario and Luigi games. I'm really intrigued to see what the Switch version of that will be like. Any others exciting you lot?

Also, even though Breath of the Wild obviously looks amazing, I hope Nintendo don't suddenly think that every Zelda has to be a 3d adventure because they have the power now. I would love to see a beautiful HD top down Zelda.

I have always enjoyed the handheld games to a point.. but they are not comfortable. i know there are grips etc but they just dont work for me. It will finally be nice to have something that feels good to play on and have access to those games.

I kind of hope they have access to the 3ds library actually.

Someone pointed out in the other topic there not being any Mario skins probably means there won't be 3D Mario at launch, which makes sense.

My faith in this product's potential success is hitting crazy high levels. I feel like this thing has a great shot at being a pretty big deal.

I'd really like to see something similar to Fantasy Life on Switch, even though Level-5 have said they haven't got anything in the works for it yet. Of course, more small, low-budget, weird games would be fantastic, since home consoles don't get many of those anymore.

Does anyone think we'll see an MGSV port on Switch alongside a Snake in Smash announcement?

Makes a lot of sense to me. MGSV would have a new life on portable, it runs on PS3/360 already, and Konami WAS on the 3rd-party developer list (what else would they do at this point?).

I havn't seen it mentioned.

Good thing I'm not asking for it to be turned into a meat dish, what I'm asking for is more akin to refusing soft serve ice cream (Lucina) so that I have space (6 FE characters is already excessive, 7 would be too much) so that I can buy gelato (A FE character with more effort put into it via DLC) later. We could have tons of characters that are clones of other characters, but that dilutes the roster with a bunch of nobodies, so I'd rather wait it out and get something better via DLC, or get them replaced when the next game comes around (which is kind of the case here which is what I was referring to).

Konami still had PES and Powapro and recently licensed one of their IPs to Nintendo.

Castlevania reboot to go with the cartoon

Same here, although I'd like to remain skeptical the truth is that Nintendo is ticking a lot of boxes. It just seems super convenient! If the support with quality software is there I am sure that it will do very well. Not wii levels though.

I'm still thinking it will be some kind of Bomberman game. With two controllers already included and all. Sounds more plausible with today's Konami than MGSV.

That would actually pretty bomb, pun intended.

I still think an MGSV port at launch would be quick, dirty, and profitable.


....but it's konami so they don't like profits or success.

That's not how it works. Clones being removed won't make room or space for more characters. It'll just mean there are less characters to play as
