CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing were enough to deal the deal for me, but I got some other little bonuses. Nintendo left me pretty happy with this one. I've put hundreds and hundreds of hours into the DS and 3DS Animal Crossing games. I can't wait to do the same with this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Totally missed the Luigi's Mansion 3 announcement. Still, not a game I really care about. Only TOWN and daemon x machina tickle my fancy. I really liked the old Yoshi games that were on the SNES and N64, but I am turned off by how it seems now.

chakoo Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing and Nes controllers were a huge win today from the direct. Also I'm happy FF12 is getting a port so I can finally get a portable version but I'll wait till its cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I feel ever so slightly tempted by FF12. I never played it. Husband just finished it a few days ago on PC and it had me mildly interested. I'd definitely wait til it's cheap, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 tbh I'm not sure I would have bought an NES Classic if I'd known NES controllers were coming for the Switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Ouch, the pair of Nes controllers are $60, can only be bought through Nintendo and you must have an online subscription first to buy them. =/ -edit- they ship in December.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I think I'm gonna get the Capcom beat 'em up collection. I have Final Fight on Sega CD, Knights of the Round on SNES and arcade PCB, Captain Commando on arcade PCB, King of Dragons on SNES(trying to obtain the PCB), and Warriors of Fate on Saturn(Japanese import). But I don't have and have never played Battle Circuit or Armored Warriors. I'd like to play them, plus the others would be nice just to have on the go. At $20, that's a pretty sweet deal.

They'er not joy-cons, it seems they're only compatible with the NES games on Switch. But they'll connect to the system to charge, like joy-cons.

Holy shit. What? How are ports amazing? What are YOU smoking? This was a HUGE complaint about the WiiU. And if you continued to read the thread you can see where I missed Luigi's Mansion 3. When I posted that the only new things that I saw were TOWN and Animal Crossing. Yeah, FF games are not a big deal at all. I mean, if you only own Nintendo console then sure. AC and LM3 are big deals I guess, but I also don't like them. As I said: 3 hours ago, Bacon said: Only TOWN and daemon x machina tickle my fancy.

And Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles would have been GREAT news if was an actual remake with new graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 But yeah, I am gonna be extremely negative about Nintendo until they give me something I like. Well, Xenoblade 2 was good, I just never got around to beating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 @Bacon saying “ports” were a big complaint about the Wii U is at best ignorant and more likely for you intentionally misleading. Setting aside the fact that FF games are tailor made for portable systems and the ones announced are all great games, none of them have ever even been considered possibilities to be on a Nintendo console, period. This is huge. This is awesome. I love this so much. And yeah you mentioned the other games and essentially went on to say it’s still a shitty direct for you. This was maybe the best direct ever for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw many people complaining how the Wii U was getting old ports that no one cared about. Like fucking Mass Effect 3 and Batman. No wanted that shit. The Wii U never even had an original Zelda. It was Wind Waker, then TP, and BOTW was shared with the switch and wii U. And I don't need fucking Wii U ports, I had a Wii U and already played them. I am not misleading, nor is it ignorant. It wasn't the biggest complaint, that's true. But I saw it mentioned often enough that I'd consider it big. Like, are you just trying to bust my balls cuz "ports" aren't the issue, but that we got ports instead of new games? Unless you care to elaborate then jog on. I really don't get why you would say this.

Unless you care to elaborate then jog on. I really don't get why you would say this. Honestly. You kinda accidentally figured out my point. People weren't mad they were porting old games to the Wii U. They were mad that that's the only thing that was coming out on the Wii U. If the Wii U also had an original library that could stand on its own and make the system worth owning outside the ports (like the Switch does), nobody would have complained about the ports. So, this is not a valid criticism to level against the Switch. And check my post history if you like. I am certainly not soft on Nintendo. 19 minutes ago, Bacon said: K, I'll just play them on my PC or PS4. Cuz, I have no need to play the inferior version. Portability does not make a game the best version. And I already own a Vita. "Yeah, FF games are not a big deal at all. I mean, if you only own Nintendo console then sure." OK, fine? We're not talking about DOOM here. We're talking about 20 year old JRPGs. I'm the first one to post about how it's cool they ported DOOM to the Switch, but I would never touch that version with a 10 foot pole. But these games are marginally better (and actually often worse depending on the port) on other consoles vs the original version of the game. So portability become a lot bigger of a draw. Absolutely. And, again, type of game matters. The "only on a Nintendo console" thing holds water with Skyrim or Wolfenstein, or what have you. But a JRPG is a great portable game just by its very nature. If you have a Vita, sure, I totally get this not being a draw for you whatsoever. But that's the only case where your argument holds up, not "only owning a Nintendo console." 19 minutes ago, Bacon said: \What games do you mean here? TOWN and daemon x machina? Cuz while they interest me I ain't excited for them. They just COULD be good. I'm talking Animal Crossing, which you seem to actively hate. Which is totally your right. But it's one hell of a get for a lot of us. You're apathetic about Luigi's Mansion, and lukewarm on the two you just mentioned here. I totally get that for a Vita owning, Animal Crossing hating fella such as yourself that the direct might not have done much for you. But I vaguely read this thread prior to actually looking up what had been announced and the general vibe I was getting was, huh, must not have been very good. Then when I actually looked at the announcements I thought some of the reactions in this thread were absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Nah, i don't hate AC I just don't like it. Same with LM. I'd just get more excited looking at a naked granny than I would for AC and LM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
