Monolith is iconic. It's been known.
Even their Robot Wars games are amazing. OG saga was iT.
I actually think Disaster nailed the "video game adaptation of an action B-movie" perfectly and would love to see something like that again. It's so silly and dumb, but it's fun.
Hype for E3? Eh, 7? I just want to see Smash Bros newcomers (Ridley???) and Fire Emblem honestly. Will be fine with only that.

I wonder if Windwalker HD will make the jump to Switch too. Or maybe as a Zelda Collection with Twilight Princess HD!
You know, I expected more. The game doesn't get a constant 60FPS at 1080p, compared to the original on the Wii at the original resolution.
If this is really the case, I wonder what they would do with that Metroid Prime Trilogy. It might be better to port the trilogy to a newer engine* than emulating the originals if they're going with a 60FPS 1080p trilogy.
I pulled this off my butt, tbh.
At the end of the clip, they say that a Switch version of the game in this case, Super Mario Galaxy, would probably have a better performance, but I don't know. I hope so, though.

I read another interview where they said they had plans for a Switch version. Its basically just a matter of time, not sure if it will be announced at E3 though. I would also take Divinity 1 as an appetiser.
Eventually it will. Nintendo loves to resell their Zelda games. I'm waiting for Skyward Sword HD.
I think people forget that because Nintendo does days of Treehouse streams, they don't need to show much for each game in their Direct beyond a quick trailer and so they can cram more into a shorter timespan. I'm all for a half hour Direct that's just trailer trailer trailer trailer and then the Treehouse stream actually showing the game.
I hope we don't see a lot of Yoshi though, there was a lot of that in the treehouse stream last year already.
We haven't seen Yoshi in a year. I'm sure it'll get a minute and a half trailer or so.
they also drop several other games during other Directs: DOOM/ Wolf 2 were in a September Direct. Bayo 3 was teased on that games show award. Smash Swtich was revealed in a direct early this year, etc etc etc
Watched the 2015 Direct this morning. I miss the funny parts and this one delivered (and it hit right in the feels knowning this is the last time Satoru Iwata's last Direct).
I'd love to see Reggie and Koizumi, I miss them (and Satoru Shibata, but now he's with the Pokemon Company).

MPT probably won't be emulated but straight ported. I dont see a reason to worry. if Wii games come to the Switch, they'll probably be ported as well in order to take advantage of motion controls in leu of pointer aiming
I'm curious how you have imagined it, I have been playing this made up game in my head for a good while now. I vision arwings going at ludicrous speeds and combat between racers similar to what was going on in F-Zero GX. What is interesting is I visioned this Rainbow Road type level that is mixed with the Mute City track from F-Zero GX and some other levels where you go through wormholes and the like. Oh it is going to be an amazing game, Retro Studios are the new Rare for Nintendo and I am hyped to level 11.
He's not, actually. Starting July 1, he'll be joining the NCL board of directors. His position within the Pokémon Company is that of an outside director- meaning he'll represent the interests of Nintendo within the Pokémon Company. He is not leaving Nintendo in any way, shape or form.
I envision on rail shooter levels except sped up and cranked up to eleven with fantastic set pieces (asteroid fields, solar flares, all the crazy space and sci fo goodness).
Except you're competing with other Arwings and similar spacecraft trying to get to the end of the level first as you get into awesome dogfight shootouts both with the course enemies and other racers.
Also my imagination affords Arwings the ability to transform into mechs with grapple hooks because it's my imagination so of course they can do that.
Nervous about what? 3rd parties have been all over Switch from what I've seen. Are there any titles you're hoping for that haven't come yet?
I have zero hope for a new Castlevania game, to be quite honest. I'm sure it's a real thing, but I don't expect it to be any good. Hopefully a Castlevania compilation really is happening.
There will be plenty of announcements, but there probably aren't going to be very many AAA announcements, not even from Japanese publishers. Dead or Alive 6, which would have likely done very, very well on Switch, is a recent example.
Why do you need "so many" 3rd party announcements? Are you going to buy them all?
Just from the known leaks there will a lot more than last year. Especially the mid tier Japanese stuff.
I guess I can see it being great at the time when it's all listed out like that. But most of those games turned out to be just decent so in hindsight there's not much greatness to behold.
I hope it's true. I suspect this "new" Castlevania is just going to be a port of the recent mobile version (which looks nice).
But what I REALLY want is a port of Symphony of the Night. Out of everything, the prospect of a Castlevania collection with SotN has me the most excited.
Are you serious? 3rd Support is pretty lackluster now with so many titles skipping the Switch
Its lackluster (and will continue to be IMO) for most Western 3rd parties. For a lot of Japanese stuff (especially titles not focusing on the West) Switch support will continue to grow.
People are so weird about Nintendo Direct's duration...
Like when people says "stop talkin Reggie, we only have 30 minutes GODDAMIT !!", if you cut Reggie's talkin then the direct is 28 minutes long... Another annoucement will not show up, wtf. Same for Smash Bros... If it's 10 minutes (it won't), then it's 10 minutes, who care. There are not preparing directs like
"-ok Reggie, we have ONLY 30 minutes for this direct. What do we do ?
-let's do 15 minutes of Smash then, I dont want to announce F-Zero and Animal Crossing this year lol"
People seems to believe that's what they do, wtf lol.

I think it depends on the level of third party support you expect. Switch's hardware limitations are well known, and as such we're never going to see every third party game get ported. With that known, Switch has seen incredible third party support compared to the Wii-U.
I mean..I didn't say it was getting every single Japanese title though?
99% of AA and AAA games developed by western devs will never even be considered for Switch. This is the reality and I hope this E3 will finally drive that point home for a lot of you.
That's not to say Switch doesn't have amazing third party support overall for a Nintendo platform, because it absolutely does.
four games you cherry-picked =/= representative of the japanese support, at all
From traditional 3rd parties though, it might be on par right now, which is to say it sucks. I mean even the Wii U got a Call of Duty.
I expect at least some third party support. Yet, absolutely every major third party game announced this year is skipping the Switch. This is not good at all.
And compared to WiiU... well that was discussed thoroughly some weeks ago.
Again, Wii U support basically peaked at launch and/or within its first year or so.
Some people act like the switch is a portable ps4, and think everything is possible on it. We have been getting great 3rd party support on switch ever since the Switch came out.
No. It is the most ridiculous statement I've read in this thread and show that people either have extremely idealized memories of the Wii U's third party support or strictly no clue as to what is releasing on Switch this and next year.
That's completely inaccurate, especially for Japanese stuff.
I dunno that whole thread regarding Amazon placeholders seemed pretty promising. If Nintendo has that many, then I would assume they are publishing some 3rd party stuff.
I get what both of you are saying, but I think the Switch is in a much more complicated scenario. Games like CoD are increasingly moving into the GaaS realm. That turns a Switch port into a 12+ month commitment to support the game after it launches.
I know neither of you will agree with me, but I'm definitely happy with the late ports we've been getting for Switch. Sports games aren't my thing, but we're also getting new titles for those kinds of games right at or near launch too. The support is there, but just not in the form some people want it in.
