Nintendo Switch Game News and Releases.

Mr E

To play devil's advocate, there is a captive audience for those games (some will never have played them before). They will sell well, even at that price. There will be a price drop sooner rather than later though. The two Revelations games seem to be permanently on sale at the moment.

Buying those at €30 a pop is pure early adopter stuff.
Give it six months and they will be in a pack for €50, in some Capcom sale.

Capcom are quick enough about putting their games on sale - I just bought the two Resident Evil Revelations games with all DLC on Switch for €25. I'm more than happy to wait for the others to go on sale.

Surely, the early adopter prices for these were in the 90s and early 00s?

Don't think they were available on the Switch in the 90s or the 00s I'm afraid :P

They were for me at least!
Bought RE on release for the Jpn GC, the the pal copy, and got RE4 for the GC, PS2 and Wii, not to mention PS3 and 4.
I'll almost certainly buy these but I'll just wait for the summer

Had that little handle on it so was very portable as well.

And the clip on screen. So was the GC a home console, or a switch prototype?

Expect These 11 Wii U Games to Make the Switch to Switch

https://www.gamnesia.com/articles/expect-these-11-wii-u-games-to-make-the-switch-to-switch

It's a decent list, I doubt that they'll all get ported though. 2 other possible candidates are Star Fox Zero and Paper Mario: Colour Splash.

TrustedApple

Kirby I know 100% it will I think people don't seem to realise how big Kirby is in japon everywhere I mean everywhere has Kirby things he's as big as pokemon there.

Super Mario 3d world is another I think we will get after super Mario wiiu and Mario maker 2.

If Nintendo won't to sell a lot of games easy they are looking at it with Mario 3d world.

I think we could even see both zelda games made into a HD remaster box set.

One thing people forgot with this generation of games is if they have the game made and if its a cheap port they will port it for easy money.

Persona 5 Nintendo Switch Announcement Coming This Month – LEAK

https://gamingintel.com/nintendo/switch/persona-5-announcement-coming-this-month-leak/

Mr E

I don't know much about Persona 5 (other than it's highly regarded) so I just watched some reviews. It looks excellent. I'll definitely pick it up on Switch.

sligeach

The Switch is 2 years old today, wasn't sure if Nintendo would mention it, but checked Nintendo's European Twitter account and they're on the ball this morning.

It's not as good as Persona 4, but it is pretty wonderful. Has some of the most stylish turn based combat you'll ever see. Kept me looking for battles long after they should have become repetitive. The music is fantastic too.

Additionally, and for the first time ever, Trine adds four-player co-op to its feature list.

I have it on PC. It was unfinished and lacked features the devs promised last time I played it.

Just reading up to date comments on it, looks like they got round to rounding off the game. Must get back into it

Trine 1 & 2 were truly excellent, two of the best local co-op games out there. Trine 3, a bit of a let down. Hope number 4 is more like the first two! Will be picking it up at some stage anyhow.

I liked Turok in the day, and have great memories of the sequel, but that looks like utter dog****. So job done, I guess?

Grassey

Rage wars would have been a better port.

At least that was a fun frantic multiplayer shooter alternative to goldeneye.
