How about a Star Fox that doesn't suck shit? There hasn't been a good Star Fox in 20 years (I'm not counting the 64 remake) so I would not get my hopes up Aw, I quite liked Adventures. I mean, it wasn't really a Star Fox game so much as it was "generic game with Star Fox characters included" (which seems fairly accurate, from what I've read on the production of it), but it was fun. Hopefully they could find a way to include it if the Gamecube VC ever actually happens because that'd be great on the Switch. Also, yes; please give us a good Star Fox game. Zero was... a thing.

It could be that Star Fox Assault is just surrounded by such mediocrity that it looks better by comparison, but I've liked it more as time goes on.
The on foot sections were a bit wonky but its the one SF game in the last two decades without some irritating gimmick. No Zelda clone stuff like Adventures, no RTS crap like Command, or unintuitive nonsense like Zero. Just an arcade shooter with straightforward controls and setup.
Why they can't evolve that formula instead of rebooting the series or going with bad fanfiction writing is beyond me.

Mario Tennis Aces... looks a hell of a lot better then the farted out Ultra Smash. But f***ing hell bring back Strikers already. I actually like this. Unlike the super rushed Ultra Smash, this looks like a game that was given over a year to make & looks very promising with a story mode. I know they will likely just use Mario characters, but I'm all for original tennis players like Advanced Tour was, or even creating a non-Mii avatar.

Ys 8 seems like an odd pick if they're not backporting any of the rest of the series.

The games are all loosely connected sure (Adol is the protagonist in the main games except of Origin which is a prequel) but most of the stories are self-contained. Sure, there's winks and references all over, but you get that in any long running RPG series. That said, I'd double dip on Origin if it went to the Switch.

Eh, they're more tied together than most series. 1 and 2 are directly, and 4 USED to be directly tied to those until the Vita version took Lilia out. 6 and 7 are directly (through Geis).

I know you're joking, but with the way the Wii U bombed, I'm totally fine with this. I got rid of mine a while back, so I'm happy to see these games get ported over. Helps to keep there from being a drought of content. I'm hoping the same will happen with the HD Remasters of Wind Waker & Twilight Princess, and Xenoblade Chronicles X.

I doubt we will get the first two, but I really want Xenoblade X.

If the process is easy enough, there is zero reason for Nintendo to not port most of the Wii U library, considering the relative number of console sales. I've basically only not gotten rid of mine because I had transferred all of my Wii stuff to it, and because I wouldn't get that much money for it anway. I'll probably never even use it again, but you never know. Into the basement it goes.

So the Pokemon Company put out a trailer just now for a certain game that’ll be a movie...
Yep. Detective Pikachu’s coming to the West.

At this rate, I half expect every Nintendo-Published Wuu (yes, I still use that term) game to get ported except Devil's Third.

I downloaded the Builders demo yesterday.
I frigging love it & I hate Minecraft. Part of it is that there's a story to it and that you have structure. With most sandbox building games, that lack of direction hurts my focus because I lack that kind of imagination.
Plus... You have to fight back your feelings when you beat up a poor Slime for resources.
I wish Square would show 2 footage soon.
