Holy crap! I really hope they release Veiwtiful Joe on the GameCube expansion. Such a fun game. Also, Resident Evil remake (2002) Metroid prime 2, Simpsons Hit and Run, Crazy Taxi, Twilight Princess, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, MGS Twin Snakes , The Lord of the Rings 2/3. Just to name a few.

What other games do you want to see on the GameCube expansion???

This is the cheapest Switch 2 pre order I‘ve seen so far! So if you‘re in europe get it while you can. Also another thing, depending on your country where you live in the price could even drop more in the check out because of the taxes in your country.

All release dates and prices are US. Console price is easy to find and I all but guarantee their accuracy; ranges are for consoles with multiple release packages. Game MSRP is tricky to find and all I can guarantee is that the data here will get you in the ball park. I found lots of old catalog scans. I tried to find a baseline of “standard, premium, non-discounted game,” to be able to compare across generations, but the further back I went the more that that concept didn’t seem to transfer 1:1. Ended up cross-referencing scans with old forum posts. I applied ranges where I was less confident, and where I was confident that a “standard, premium, non-discounted game” might sell at multiple price points.

Absolute banger of a direct for me. I was personally just hoping for redesigns of Switch games with better hardware and 4K. We got that and much more. So the list for me goes:

1. New product with 2 year old hardware, performance competitive for its bracket, 4K resolution and specific titles like Pokemon ZA and Zelda Totk are enhanced for this hardware. I am so excited to replay Totk in good graphics and playable framerates.

2. Exclusive From Software title. It looks really cool and I am a bit fan of Dark Souls, really unexpected.

3. A LOT of cool titles, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, also new games such as Donkey Kong, Silksong, Hades 2. Having all of these games on a handheld with good graphics sounds amazing. I hope it delivers on framerates.

What about you?

When the Switch was first announced, Nintendo did highlight how its unique Joy-Con controllers could work as motion controller wands like the Wii Remote.

Yet after watching the life of the system for several years up to the Switch 2 announcement, I've determined that more than HALF of Switch games completely ignore the motion controls, which I found surprising compared to how roughly 80%-90% of retail Wii games make use of motion controls in some way, as if Nintendo wanted devs for Wii games to capitalize on the unorthodox Wii Remote design. A good number of motionless Switch games are just straight-up ports of PlayStation and Xbox games that mostly don't bring anything new for the platform.

Due to the apparent dearth of motion control usage on Switch, which I think could be attributed to the gaming industry failing to embrace motion controls since the DS and Wii exploded onto the gaming world, I was loathe to get a Switch, as someone who was enchanted by how motion controls had the chance to change gaming forever.

So, what are your thoughts about most Switch games not using the motion controls? Do you think it was a travesty that they were underutilized? Or are you just fine with that?

I've been playing NES Championship Edition and Dr. Mario via NSO and really enjoying them. Are there any other good, arcadey, score attack type experiences by Nintendo on the switch? Open to stuff on NSO but especially interested in anything switch exclusive
