    Gears of War 1-4, Halo 1-5, Uncharted 1-4 - they're all the same game with nicer graphics.

    Trace the lineage of Zelda and Mario and they're generation defining, genre creating games.

    The whole Nintendo only rely on the same games over and over annoys me. It completely ignores the fact that Nintendo changes gameplay completely between games in each IP they have. The exception was Zelda which was very safe and yet the last two Zelda games threw the rule book out the window with BotW being a massive game changer for open world games.

    ^ This. Can't emphasise this enough.

    I'd say the Metroid Prime games didn't change that much, other than the dual environments mechanic in Echoes.

    hmm, it's developed by mercury stream.... Castlevania Mirror of Fate was metroidvania but awful. I hope this is better.

    Glad I'm wrong, although the developer hasn't been announced.

    They had lost a huge amount of talent and the CEO said they weren't able to do a game like Metroid again but Nintendo must have invested in them after how good their Donkey Kong games were.

    Little things I love in games: the way Samus aims behind here in the Metroid 2 remake on the stream now, tiny little animation touch but makes the game look great.

    Not the target market at all.

    Well I'm a gamer and a parent with young kids so should I not even think of getting a One X for myself? What i meant with my post is that people dont have the money to go all out because kids and life in general so will opt to go the cheaper route because its the same games etc your only sacrificing a bit on the graphics.

    I'm pretty sure, barring an unexpected flop, the Switch is in line to have the greatest first year line-up of any console in recent memory.

    Nintendo are ****ing bringing it.

    We should allow for the fact that Breath of the Wild is better than the entire back catalogues of some major consoles, but even without that they're still bringing the A-game and then some :)

    Ah don't mind me, just the thought of younger kids "needing" a €500 machine for games make my head melt :o

    I spent ages convincing myself to take the leap and buy a Switch and I'm 31. that said, glad I rolled the dice now having seen the upcoming titles

    I was semi-thinking the original Xbox :p

    It was a bit of hyperbolic licence, but yeah there probably is some semblance of truth in there.

    The CDi was REALLY **** after all.

    But yes, Nintendo are going for broke, and I really hope it pays off for them. Their willingness to experiment with the likes of Arms and Splatoon is also very welcome after a few years where it did feel they were relying on the big names.
