They can at least make another 2D Mario game. Some ports are fine, but unless NSMBU is like 20$, it just seems a bit greedy.

I wouldnt mind a Wii U Mario Collection

New Super Mario Bros U

New Super Luigi U

Super Mario 3D World

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

All on 1 cartridge for $59.99

I know it wont happen but would be nice.

That would be nice:)

I'm not worried. Emily has already stated that 3rd Parties will surprise us this year. I belive this could indicate a good amount of quality 3rd party games in the lead up to Christmas after E3.

If things don't work out they should be able to lower the price I think though. They've surely made plenty of Money at its current price and prices of parts for Switch should already be coming down from when it went into production so they still wouldn't have to sell The Switch at a loss.

wait let me try this game too, there will be a bundle with new color joycons this year.

I’m expecting at least yoshi by years end...I’m sure there’s some accuracy in this prediction in that I expect a lot of rereleases (aside from the ones we already know about) as they make sense and I’m not totally against them as long as they’re games I haven’t played or would like in portable form etc blah blah...but I would expect at least 1 or 2 heavy hitters at years end and I doubt they would solely rely on, say, a rerelease of a Wii U heavy hitter (such as a smash Bros port) for the holiday season but we’ll see...

I will say this, Nintendo needs to produce more Snipperclips-tier titles on the Switch this year to fill in the blank spots. It'd be a shame to see all those small first-party titles from the DS/3DS disappear on the Switch.

Emily Rogers predictions and fake rimors are terrible and nobody should take her seriously.

There are no leaks at Nintendo as usual.

But she’s been correct, lately.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Shes like 50/50, got a few things wrong about Switch's first but also got a few things right.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Eh? The Switch was leaked months before it was announced. Pokken Tournament (WiiU) was leaked. Mario + Rabbids was leaked.

Since I was one of the people who made those criticisms of the PS4, let me highlight the differences. The PS4...

A. Didn’t have loads of quality exclusive experiences in its first year to justify a year one purchase. I bought a PS4 on launch day, and a year later I was playing both an Xbox One I got as a Christmas gift and my Wii U far more than it. The only quality exclusive that system had year one was Infamous Second Son. The Switch, meanwhile, had: Splatoon 2, Mario + Rabbids, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, and Kirby Star Allies will be missing the year one deadline by mere WEEKS. 

B. Isn’t portable, meaning that PS3 ports to it inherently have less value. If you value portable experiences like I do, then the Switch is great because it has LOADS of exclusive portable experiences. Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 DX, Sonic Mania, Doom, and Skyrim are all GREAT portable experiences and practically transform how I play them versus regular console versions. And the same is still true for these upcoming console ports.

Ports of games like Last of Us on PS4 didn’t do much for me, despite their quality, because I had already played many of these games in the exact same fashion just a few years prior, and being able to play these games in the same way with slightly up-ressed graphics didn’t really mean much to me. So far as I’m concerned, that’s what backwards compatibility was for.

You pretty much nailed it. The only benefit of the PS4 updates are they look about 4% better while the Switch offers substantially more freedom, and already has the back library of killer games. Not to mention, the games being ported from Wii U are from a console most players had never played - apparently (according to articles which explain why the Wii U failed) in the US, most people thought it was a controller for the Wii and didn't even know it was a console.

You don't have a PS4. 4% better. That downplaying is impressive.

It doesn't matter if PS3 sold way better than Wii U, ports of PS3 games are just as justified as ports of Wii U games and don't bring in the sales here, Nintendo shouldn't be rewarded by being given a pass for a failed system that they quickly withdrew support.
