Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Well damn because I'm freaking working, I missed the beginning of the stream. What did I miss at the start? HOLY SHIT! Life Is Strange Remastered and True Colors coming to Switch! Wow! Guardians of the Galaxy - meh Worms - meh Two Point Campus - meh Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania- I've never played a single one of these games. Anyone here like this series? Mario Party Superstars - So like is like WarioWare Gold but for Mario Party? Again, never played a single entry in this series Holy fuck he mentioned Metroid Prime 4! But says he's going to show a different Metroid game instead?? METROID 5!?!?!?!?!? Whaaaaaaaaaaaat !? It's in 3D? Or is this only a cutscene? Where's the gameplay!!! Oh snap it is 2D gameplay! THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!! It's called Metroid Dread Gameplay looks a little on the slow side, but really freaking cool. Some cool new powerups. Day 1 purchase here, holy shit October 8th! So far away! Heh, it'll even get an Amiibo Just Dance 2022 - lol Cruisin' Blast - ha! I remember these games. The Switch needs more racing games so this is cool Dragon Ball Z - never seen this show, its movies, or played any of its games Mario Golf: Super Rush - this game looks really cool Monster Hunter Stories 2 - another series I've never played. I like that they are releasing a "serious" entry and "more cartoony" entry in the same year New Wario game! Not a Wario Land entry, definitely a Wario Ware entry Looks like Snipperclips at times called WarioWare Get It Together, coming Sep 10, preorders coming today, wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Shin Megami Tensei V - another series I haven't played. Looks cool though Danganronpa - never heard of it.. looks weird Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water - another series I've never played before. Doesn't look like my cuppa tea. Any fans here? Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods part 1 - what a mouthful. I played the demo of Doom 2016 on PS4 and was amused by its fast gameplay but haven't returned Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - fun! Strange Brigade - meh Mario + Rabbids 2 - looks like a very worthy sequel to a very cool game Advance Wars... the original game remastered! Wow! Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp - so it's both of the first two games together, cool! Age of Calamity Expansion Pass - no surprise here Dropping this week for the first, and then November for the second Skyward Sword HD - looks great WTF!? They are releasing another mini-Game and Watch that comes with old Zelda games (1, 2, and Link's Awakening), and that's all they are doing for the 35th anniversary? WTF? BREATH OF THE WILD 2 TRAILER!!!!! Wow. That was pretty awesome!!!!!! Coming 2022!!!!! So no Pikmin 4, no Metroid Prime 4, no Bayonette 3, no Hollow Knight 2, no idea what Retro's next game is still....... But some pretty cool stuff!

Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I doubt it'll be delayed. It only remains to be see if it'll be March 2022 or Holiday 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think anytime they've put a date in an actual trailer, it's stayed that way Other "delays" are when they casually give an expected release day somewhere else then miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,654 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 True - my lack of faith in Nintendo’s Zelda release dates comes from the OoT release, which predates big online announcement trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yea I mean BOTW was shown at E3s and stuff for a long while until it finally came out, but the only time they actually announced a release date was when they announced it's release date was the same as the Switch. This'll definitely come out in 2022. I mean, it uses the same engine as BOTW and has been in development since either 2017 or 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 So what does everyone think of the 2021 Switch exclusive list?

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm surprised there's no big game for November. I wonder if it was supposed to be BOTW2 but things got messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It's a remake of a ho-hum Pokemon game with a clearly low budget. That's not a November blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I feel like I'm being trolled This game is going to sell millions of copies 4 of the 40 best selling Switch games are Pokémon games - that's 10% of the list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_Switch_video_games I have no interest in playing it, or any other Pokémon game, and I'm sure many JWFanners are in the same boat, but it's still a guaranteed high-selling title regardless of its quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Just about every Nintendo first party game sells in the millions of copies nowadays. It's just not an exciting release. A low budget remake is not a blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 The GBA remake of gen 1 sold 12 million copies; the Switch remake of Gen 1 sold 13.2 million copies The DS remake of gen 2 sold 12.7 million copies The 3DS remake of gen 3 sold 14.3 million copies There's no chance in hell that this Switch remake of Gen 4 doesn't crack 10 million copies Heck, the original release of Gen 4 sold 1.5 million more copies than the original release of gen 3 Pokemon is HUGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm not saying it's not going to. It's just not a game to excite people and get them to run out and buy hardware around the holiday season. You save that for a new main game in a big series, not a low budget remake of a game people never really got excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I don't have a clue about Pokemon, but I don't see how this release is seen as significantly more or less exciting than any other mainline Pokemon game. Pokemon fans seem to get excited for and then gobble up every mainline game. Every gen is someone's first gen, and even kids who started on gen 4 are now adults with disposable income who want to relive their childhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Sure, but Pokemon's first two generations were beyond a certain segment of kids. Same with Breath of the Wild, same with Mario Odyssey, same with Animal Crossing as examples. Usually your shining jewel of the year isn't a low budget remake of a game that isn't considered a classic. Even then, it depends on the remake.

Jay 37,404 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I don't know if things like "low budget" and "not considered a classic" matters to Pokemon fans, they gobble up all these things regardless of all that Luckily, there is precedent for Q3 Switch titles not being announced until after e3 - in bold below 2017-10-20 Fire Emblem Warriors (announced Jan 2017) 2017-10-27 Mario Odyssey (announced Jan 2017) 2017-12-01 Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (announced Jan 2017) 2018-10-05 Super Mario Party (announced e3 2018) 2018-11-16 Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yeah, but that's Pokemon fans you're talking about. A big November game has to appeal to everyone. It's the big Christmas game. You can pop out a game in a fan focused series at any time of the year and fans will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yea, I just can't follow your logic, it doesn't track for me at all. Look at what they've done in the Switch era for the past 5 Q3s. 3 of the 5 have mainline Pokemon games. They are considered big holiday titles by Nintendo, even if they aren't anything you or I or a decent portion of Switch owners care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I think that has more to do with the Pokemon people wanting to just crap anything out every November Pokemon related rather than it being Nintendo's big holiday game. Sometimes you get a brand new Pokemon game out of it and Nintendo relies on it to be the big November game, like in 2019, and sometimes it's other things like Mario Odyssey or Luigi's Mansion while Pokemon is still there, it's just a remake or something instead.

Jay 37,404 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 I actually forgot that in Q3 2017, they had Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon on November 17th for the 3DS. So that means 4 of the past 5 Q3s have had a mainline Pokemon game. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Bill Trinen Says There's A Reason Nintendo's Keeping Breath of the Wild 2's Name a Secret Quote “As for why we’re holding back on the name, you’ll just have to stay tuned because, obviously, Zelda names are kind of important,” Trinen says during our interview. “Those subtitles… they start to give little bits of hints about maybe what’s going to happen.” It felt to me like that slow floating castle reveal shot at the end of the trailer was meant to be where the title would be revealed.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We're actually on the last level. Getting all the stamps, green stars, and flag poles have been way easier than I remember it being the first time on Wii U. My wife is getting FED UP on the final world. It takes a level of precision and skill that is unforgiving and all the little tiny imperfections in the multiplayer game design are rage inducing. Everything from when you're trying to make a tricky jump and the other player gets hit so it pauses the game for a split second which messes up the timing to the perspective being hard to understand. These games really aren't made to be multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,654 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We have the first four and a half worlds covered already. If we had known gold flags were a thing while we were playing though, we probably would have paid more attention to the flag thing earlier. I don’t think it will be too hard until we get to the post-story worlds, as we did a lot of collecting on our way, but some of the later levels were hard enough just to beat.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 One of my favorite indie developers (I'm a *huge* fan of both Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter) is putting out their own Picross game on Switch tomorrow, titled Pictooi https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/07/like_picross_say_hello_to_pictooi_a_new_puzzler_out_very_soon_on_switch Nick Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,404 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I bought the Mutant Muds collection and played it for half an hour or so and wasn't really feeling it. Should I jump to the next game in the collection or just right into Xeodrifter perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Being that I've played and replayed Mutant Mudds to 100% 15-20 times, and you didn't really respond to it, I don't know if my opinion will be very relevant to you. I will say that if you weren't feeling the first Mudds, you definitely should not go straight to Super Challenge. There was a time when I beat Xeodrifter once a week for like 2 months straight (it's a very short game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
