Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

Fuck you.

Chrono Trigger should never be remastered or even touched by a developer.
Understandable, but you're too late on that one:

Sees Switch Sports: “Finally, it’s here!”
Sees character models: [confusion]

Umm…What the hell happened to the Miis? What are these Go Vacation looking mother fuckers? It is nice to have the sports back, but a good deal of those game’s charm was the customizable characters
So now we like Miis?
Gonna side with @Jordi El Nino Polla here. Miis aren't as central of a focus for Ninty anymore. As for the game itself:
>doesn't include all of the sports from Resort
>doesn't even have goddamn boxing
>golf is an "update"

No buy, Nintendo. You done fucked up.

Fuck you, Squeenix.
The real remaster is for radical dreamers
Seems like half of the tracks in the first pack are from Tour and the rest are from the console games. I've only played like 15 minutes of Tour but I imagine they'll run out of those tracks fairly quick given that most of them feel the same.
They might just expand on them like 8 did for alot of retro courses making them just "new courses" in all but name (especially for people who didn't play tour)
 
Trigger already has a 'definitive' edition which is basically what a remaster is. I'm not really sure what more they can do with Trigger and Cross hasn't ever really been rereleased as far as I can remember.
Uh, make it available outside the goddamn DS/mobile?!
>PC port lol
Although Chrono Trigger fans have responded well to Square's run of updates, some are disappointed that this final patch still doesn't address all concerns. There are persistent calls to implement the 1995 Super Nintendo version's original interface, for instance, as well as features seen in the DS release, including the bestiary, dojo, and missing FMVs.
So, no, they can still do more with Trigger. Although, I kinda agree with @Jordi El Nino Polla. Maybe just do a pixel remaster like they did with the 8/16-bit Final Fantasies?

I still can't believe there hasn't been a Switch port of Xeno Chronicles X. Like, it blows my mind.
Portable mode X sounds like absolute hell alongside all the gamepad shit you'd have to make functional, XC2's overworld while cool isn't the most important and good thing about that game (if you consider it good anyway), in X's overworld and maps are basically the ONLY reason to play X at all as everything else is pretty whatever.

That's still a Hell of a lot more accessibility than you'd have if you wanted to play Cross. Your choices there are hope you still have a PS1, or a PS3 where it'll look like complete dogshit. I love Trigger as much as the next guy but there's plenty of places to play it legally.

So just finished the Direct, here are my thoughts…

  • Kirby looks fantastic.
  • Three Houses Warriors was something I have wanted since 2019, and it looks great.
  • Xenoblade 3 looks great
  • Strikers looks good. Never got into this sports title, but I want to. Still waiting for Sluggers though. Also, it should be made by Next Level, so the game shouldn’t be lacking content like the previous Switch Mario sports.
  • I like the idea of Mario Kart 8 DLC, but does anyone else feel it looks off. It looks..really cheap looking, like an updated phone game in both character models and course graphics. It looks brighter, less detailed, and yet, I kind of prefer it to MK8’s graphics. IDK, just something looks off about the DLC.
  • Switch Sports looks underwhelming. I have always liked the Miis, so seeing them get thrown aside for more generic characters really kills the personality. Even looking past that, why buy this over Go Vacation? Go Vacation has way more sports, an open world, and probably more customization. This title feels more like the Wii sports knock off than the one that literally came from that era.
  • Splatoon 3 looks fine, but what new things are there really? Nintendo’s marketing has been super vague on what this game is and how it differs from 2.
  • Disney Speedstorm could be fun. Just give me Jack Skellington or Ralph and I would play it for a bit. I won’t lie though, when I heard combat I was really hoping this would be Disney Twisted Metal.
  • Portal Collection - It is nice to have both games, though I do wish it was an updated Orange Box that included Portal 2 with it. I will probably still pick it up though just to have both Portal games physical and in likely better condition than PS3 Portal 1.
  • Klonoa - Never played, so this seems like a good opportunity to try it.

I remember people saying the same thing about splatoon and Mario maker. You can just make the game pad stuff a menu with a zoom function.
 
Understandable, but you're too late on that one:
The DS version of Chrono Trigger is why I have the opinion that I do. Their expanded content contains more exp than the entire original game and completely fucks up the endgame and drastically reduces the fun of New Game+.

At best you can say the PS1 re-release is acceptable because it added neat animated scenes. There is nothing gained by tinkering with these classics. You port them as they are and maybe fix game-breaking issues like in FF6. And otherwise you leave it alone and keep your greasy fingers off of it. If the new gamers don't like it, they can go back to playing Fortnite.

 
That's still a Hell of a lot more accessibility than you'd have if you wanted to play Cross. Your choices there were hope you still have a PS1, or a PS3 where it'll look like complete dogshit. I love Trigger as much as the next guy but there's plenty of places to play it legally.
Nigger, please.
The game shipped 1.5 million copies worldwide by 2003, leading to a Greatest Hits re-release and continued life in Japan as part of the Ultimate Hits series.

And that's nowadays, when prices for retro games are at an all-time high.
Even back in the day, all 3 PlayStation systems were backwards-compatible, so if you really, really, REALLY wanted to play Chrono Cross legit, you could (and still can!) do so relatively easily. Now, let's take a look at Trigger's prices:

B R U H. And before you say, "PC port lol", I refer you to my post above about bugs.

Please do. One of the most underrated game series there is.

I remember it being on the Wii as Wiiviewr reviewed it, but I never bought it. The remake for Switch looks better, so I want to give it a go.

I never really got the reasoning behind why the Miis got cut. The system itself has one of the best iterations of the maker and they have a presence in Mario Kart and Smash, not to mention Miitopia. They were some of the best create-a-characters around, which is why I want to see them return. I feel like Switch sports would benefit greatly from them as currently it looks like every Wii Sports knock off from the Wii era. It lacks charm, and it lacks Matt.
 
Nigger, please.

PC port got fixed ages ago dude. I know, I've played it. I've got no idea if they ever fixed the mobile version, don't play mobile games, but I can confidently say most people haven't had problems with the PC version since 2018. You're either incredibly unlucky or just never got updated on the fix.
 
(English trailer is available but it's age-restricted and can only be watched on YT)

Directed by Koichiro Ito (Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain) and produced by Junichi Ehara (NieR: Automata), The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story centers around the ill-fated Shijima family, who have experienced a chain of inexplicable deaths in their family over the past century. Players will take on the role of mystery novelist, Haruka Kagami and use their powers of deductions to uncover the truth behind four murder cases that have taken place in the Shijima household over the last one hundred years. Take on this accessible mystery story, uncover the truth of the case and reveal the culprit!

Yasuhito Tachibana, producer of Netflix‘s The Naked Director serves as cinematographer and scenario director on The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story, taking visual storytelling to a new level with high-quality cinematography and thrilling live-action gameplay. Players will be immersed into an authentically traditional Japanese story where they will transcend time across different eras of Japan while collecting information scattered throughout each era to uncover the truth behind the ill-fated Shijima family and solve an age-old mystery.

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story features compelling performances from Nanami Sakuraba as the games’ protagonist, Haruka Kagami and Yuta Hiraoka as Eiji Shijima, the second son of the Shijima family who returns home to help unravel the mystery behind his ill-fated family. A cast of talented Japanese actors bring this enigmatic Japanese adventure to life, depicting an array of characters throughout each period setting.

“This is a mystery game that we’ve poured our efforts into wholeheartedly, following extensive discussion between the director, Koichiro Ito—who has created a great many adventure games—and Yasuhito Tachibana, of Netflix’s The Naked Director, on the topic of ‘a live-action game, for gamers,'” said producer Junichi Ehara. “An intricately woven story, a gameplay experience where you use your powers of reasoning to uncover the culprit, and the massive secret that threads together multiple murder cases that occur at different points in time… We’ve entered the last stage of development, with the aim to make it a mystery game that everyone can enjoy. I hope you’ll look forward to the game!”
It will launch on May 12 worldwide.


Story
Eight months after hope for humanity was destroyed…
Nini, the protagonist who lost his home and family to the ancient calamity known as the “Kegai,” arrives at the peaceful countryside town of Ashiharanakatsu to stay with his mother’s relatives. He was welcomed by Konoha, a girl who says she is his relative. The people who live on this land all say there is nothing special about this town.

“It’s wrong to say this town has nothing.”

The mountains, the ocean, the old homes, the new friends, living with her, the gravity…
For Nini, whose whole world was the space station, everything was fresh.

“Give it up. There is nowhere in this world the ‘Kegai’ do not appear.”

A fox-eared girl who calls herself backup from the gods; a mysterious floating sphere that shines in the sky. In this town where everyday life and the extraordinary intertwine, Nini’s radiant and stressful summer begins.
