Nintendo Switch

Then...that's not a physical release.

Just like Fallout 76.

[Country Roads intensifies]

One thing from the Japanese Direct:Dragon Quest I, II, and III will be coming digitally on September 27th in Japan only.

> Overwatch physical release will be cartless

BLASPHEMY!

(Just kidding, I don't play Overwatch. Sorry for everyone else though.)

That is annoying. I don't plan to get it anyway since I already have the PC version, but I prefer big games on a cart. I only download smaller stuff... Or when I'm too impatient to get the physical version.

The two Detective Club games are getting remakesin 2020 for Japan only.

I'm just surprised that Jedi Outcast of all things made it...

Me too. I had just figured that any game based on the old EU would never see the light of day again due to licensing/political tie-ups with EA and/or Disney. Hopefully this opens the door for the fabled Rogue Squadron collection.

I would have figured that Rogue Squadron would have made the cut first, given that they were for the most part Nintendo exclusives.

So, yeah, it looks like the SNES Switch controllers require a OS update to 9.0 as mentioned by the website.

We'll get that update before the Switch Lite launches, more than likely, just not sure if its next week or the week of the Lite's launch.

Exercise ring and straps using Joycon announced. Full unveiling on September 12th.

Switch Fit when?

Did not expect the next Halo game to come in this form, but I'm game.

Gamers: We like weird Nintendo, but Switch Lite is coming out soon and Labo flopped.

Nintendo: Lol.

Gave the original Star Fox a try since it's part of the SNES Online.

It was okay, but gauging incoming missiles was kind of a pain. I can definitely see why the N64 version is much more fondly remembered to the point of displacing the original.

The SNES games are here already? I been trying to update my Switch all day but it keeps saying it's at the latest version.

The SNES games you just get off the E-Shop, under the Nintendo Switch Online header.

Ohh ok, checking it now.

Demon's Crest is really good. I'd heard about but never got around to playing it before. It's hard to believe it's in the same continuity as Ghosts and Goblins given its atmosphere and art design.

Demon's Crest is one of my favorite games of all time. My only real problems with it are the menuing to change the gargoyle forms and the fact that it's a little too ambitious and the framerate can tank visibly at certain points because of all the sprites/effects on the screen at once.

Wording on Nintendo's Japanese website states that while more SNES and NES games will be coming in the future, they will no longer be coming monthly.

(x7) I always considered the SNES version more iconic, but it's certainly difficult. Limited lives and no saves... "It's short" isn't an excuse. At least modern SF games save.

It’s just...objectively incorrect that Star Fox is more iconic than Star Fox 64.

Outside of the N64 intro cutscene and some vocal lines, the SNES one seems more iconic. It had a huge advertising push, a comic, and its graphics are frequently referenced in other Nintendo media.

Apparently it was a massive commercial flop on its original release due to being out of vogue with what SNES gaming was, but with stuff like Hollow Knight, Dark Souls, Ori, and even, in terms of gameplay, series like Shantae thriving nowadays I wonder how a revival of the series would be received.

I get the feeling they'd compromise the tone some, unfortunately, but if they went all in I think they could easily have another successful, low-budget classic on their hands.

I think between popular memes from the dialogue, re-releases like 64-3D, and even newer games like SF 0 which strongly resemble it; it feels like 64 has cast a bigger shadow than the SNES title. The latter was arguably more innovative, but I suspect the average person could remember elements from the 64 game with greater ease.
