It's kind of maddening to keep seeing these games that are perfect Switch -- and totally runnable -- not, in fact, be on Switch. What's the deal?

I have more time to play Xenoblade now, so works for me.Though they really shouldn't give an exact date if it's not going to pan out.

Destined for AA.

Glad you mentioned DS. The PSP really overshadowed the fact it was a sizable leap over the GBA.

Did I miss something and Persona is suddenly a third-person shooter? I'm not seeing the relevance with these comparisons.

@TheMisterManGuy: To state the obvious, 3DS has buttons. To me that is the differentiator.

I would be thrilled with DS-level support.An aside, but I never understood this narrative of DS as a gimmick. In fact, it actually offered a LOT that became standard that was not at the time. Touch in...

@lexxluger: This. Graphics comparisons aren't new at all. I remember coming to this forum when 56K warnings were still a thing in threads with lots of screenshots.

Splatoon 2. Seems like Nintendo's one of the only developers putting out games this summer, really. And Square-Enix. All's quiet on the Western [development] front.

This is literally hundreds of dollars of Virtual Console purchases in one package. Good job, Nintendo.

@MBirdy88: I do agree that the game didn't do as great a job with the story-based parts. And yeah, shrine discovery can only be so thrilling after you've discovered dozens.But, the reason I keep playi...

For me, it's that there are no invisible walls at all (with the exception of the obvious outermost borders). I never feel like I'm leaving Hyrule while playing.

Pokemon will definitely make it for 2018. I get the impression Nintendo holds the developers' feet to the fire on their deadlines -- gotta make that $. Metroid? I'll see ya in 2019, Samus.

@GameboyTroy: Or, you know, encourage third parties to make games that make sense for Switch. Which seems to be what they're doing -- smartly so. Nintendo must be quietly seething about PS4 being No. ...

I think there's just the right amount this when, actually. But Nier is a great example of an evolution of the genre I'd like to see more of. (Though I don't know if I'd called it a JRPG in the way peo...

Odyssey being that good isn't a foregone conclusion. But, never count out a Mario game. Galaxy was GOTY, after all.

I think it was the overall Metroid presence that put them over the top. That 3DS Metroid game looks solid AND comes out in three months. That's delivering.

@mmmwksil: I hope those same people realize Mario himself is a caricature of an Italian plumber.
