Since we couldn't get Little Mac as a guest fighter in ARMS, maybe we can get Spring Man as a guest boss in Super Punch-Out?

His gimmick would be his ARMS keep stretching past Mac past his left or right for a second, so until then he can't dodge in that direction.

Yes, I know punches in ARMS don't last that long, but yeah.

The Animal Crossing thread is dead at the moment, but I like hearing people discuss desires for future titles.

I'm most interested in:

• Farming vegetables. 'Go full Harvest Moon, I don't care. Flowers just aren't interesting to me and I'd like more things to grow besides fruit.
• Skin tone options without going HHD-style. You can either choose to customize your character head on or you can get the normal quiz.
• An ability to "save" a house/room design so that you can change to it with a click of the button.
• Improve upon the characters and their AI. New Leaf botched a lot of things, such as not having villagers interact much and making Grumpy villagers too nice.

Assassin's Creed III Remastered is coming to Switch, at least according to the official Ubisoft website.

Amazon Japan may or may not have leaked Dan Dat Roomba Donkey Grandpa Dragon Ron Paul Dumpling Rampage Dangan Ronpa for a Switch release.

This is probably an accident like with Death end re;Quest, but that was a French mistake and this is from Japan. It even has a March 26 release date!

Even more reason to abandon the Vita, which is where I got the games.

Dangit Ron Paul!

Harvest Moon: Light of Hope has a bad reputation, but I've been playing it and I'd recommend it if you find it under $30. The characterization is fine and the gameplay is nice. It's no Story of Seasons but it's perfectly playable.

Mario Maker 2!

Mario maker 2

Link's awakening remake

Platinum's new game Astra Chain

FFVII out late March, IX out now.

Fire Emblem out in late July.

Rune Factory 4 port! And Rune Factory 5 is coming!

Also, Daemon X Machina demo, and Tetris 99 (if you have NSO).

And so the great Mario Maker did not die with the Wii U!

Wait, online service isn't free, so that might not be entirely true.

You realize people pay quite handsomely for online on the other two systems, right? People get used to it.

It's been a long time since I played Rune Factory 4; might go back to it again once I take a break from Yo Kai Watch 3.

Probably won't get the Switch version of the game, though I do recommend checking out the game if you've never played it before.

As polarizing as the Link's Awakening remake's art style is, some friends pointed out that it'd be perfect for the Mother series. Shame Itoi's probably not going to return to it any time soon.

If the Mother series ever got remade in 3D, I'd rather they go for a claymation look like the official art depicts.

I wonder if Chain Chomp and Kirby will be removed from the remake.

We saw Goombas in the trailer and Nintendo owns all of those. Don't see why they would.

Kirby is an enemy in the game (called Anti-Kirby by some sources) and you Feed It a Bomb to defeat him.

So?

I think people would see it as a Take That! aimed at Kirby. And I can't think of another time when one Nintendo IP directly insulted another.

We also saw the Chain Chomp in the trailer.

Kirby's a little more dubious given he's a product of HAL Laboratories, but not nearly the sort of rights nightmare that Pokemon causes.

Kirby should be fine. This isn't a Pokémon situation where the parent company is super protective and strict.
