I think the issue is normally that it's too much for a game that you might have already bought 2 or 3 times, and that's already 5+ years old.

Like Skyrim. I really want it, but it does stick in my craw somewhat that I'd have to pay over £40 for it.

Just fired up the Monster Hunter demo, and while it took me a bit to get back into the control of things, I've had fun fighting that easy monster with dual blades, light bowgun, and switchblade.
I don't think I'm confident enough to go beyond easy in handheld mode though. Back to the vacation resort to relax, I think.

The new flagship monster is basically a DRAGON JET FIGHTER.

It's cool to hear that Diablo III is coming to Switch. I've not played it before but I've heard lots of positive comments.

My copy of Dead Cells arrived today :-).

Blizzard has said that Overwatch is ‘feasible’ in an interview off the back of the Diablo announcement.

I would give Overwatch a go if it comes to Switch

I see nsmbu is rumoured to be getting a lazy full priced cash grab port. Just what the switch needs :roll:

I was about to say I'd never played it so this appeals, but is this the same game that came out on the Wii? :slol:

It was substantially better than NSMBWii (which was not that good at all), but it wasn’t great. A solid 7/10, no more.

If they’re doing Wii U ports still can we have Tokyo Mirage Sessions please? Do kind of feel that window has passed though.

NSMBU (as long as they include the Luigi DLC) is arguably one of the best Mario Platformers ever made.

Technically no, but one of the main criticisms of the New Super Mario Bros series is that the 4 games (on the DS, Wii, 3DS and Wii U) are very, very similar. The others being no one really likes the art style and everyone wants Nintendo to do something new with the series.

A port will easily sell a few million copies though so it wouldn’t surprise me.

It was indeed a great game. However, as Nintendo themselves demonstrated with Mario maker, they can churn out levels as quickly as they want to with an established editor and give it some pollish. Absolutely no excuse to not have a new entry in the series if it's going to stick the that horrible art style (van Gogh level aside) as they could make a whole new game in 6 months tops.

I never had any issue with the NSMB art style at all. And yes NSMBU is a fantastic 2D platformer. Where the earlier NSMB games are very much like Super Mario Bros, U reminded me more of World and 3. Great games.

Ok, cheers, I probably would be tempted again then, in that case. Also, while I've had the Wii disc version for about nine years, I've not had a Wii for eight of those, so...

NSMBU is the best 2D Mario game since World, I for one welcome a Switch port

There’s a massive gap between the two, true though that is. I just want a new 2D Mario for Switch in non-NSMB style.
