Good, good.
Unpopular opinion, but I liked this game more than the main Xenoblade entries, even if the story is not that great.

So yeah, ill be looking forward to it.



This game def. needed a more powerfull machine than the Wii U.
It did not run that great on the WiiU, and the resolution was horribly low.

So them porting it to switch is great.

What are you talking about? The game ran at native 720p, which for the Wii U was pretty standard, and it ran at a very stable 30fps, which was also pretty standard. The only things that could be criticized is the lack of collisions for some elements of New LA and the need to install part of the game on the console's memory. Digital Foundry even praised the game for being a technical marvel on the Wii U.

Of course, there was room for improvement, and this remastered shows. But for a Wii U game, the original ran perfectly fine and the resolution was good.



So how many big WiiU games are left to port? At this point, they must be nearly all out.

Awesome. And this makes the Switch 2 timeline make more sense, it will be a 2025 reveal, and release maybe second half of 2025. So we will probably get both a Switch 2 reveal early 2025 as well as a Nintendo direct of all the games coming out on Switch first half of 2025.

2025 reveal is the only thing that ever made sense, but I very much doubt they'll wait until second half to launch the system. No real reason to do that and just let revenue continue to suffer for extra months. This game is coming out in March, not June. All this suggests is that Nintendo is getting it's last few Switch games out in the first few months of 2025, which is to be expected for the new system coming out in the Spring. So nothing has changed, still expecting reveal in January and next gen to launch in May or June, around when kids are getting out for summer vacation.

From the top of my head... the two Zelda remasters, Star Fox Zero, Nintendo Land, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Paper Mario Color Splash, Games and Wario, Mario Party 10, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash and Affordable Space Adventures

Zelda HD is the only thing worth porting.

Ultra Smash sucks apparently, and all the others are too reliant on the GamePad relative to how much they'd sell after changing controls during development.

The Zelda HD games would require some tweaking, but they would sell like hotcakes. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Now they just need to release a double pack of Wind Waker HD and Twlight Princess HD and the Wii U will be truly dead to basically everyone.

yesss i definitely thought we would have had these by now. I didn't really like TP, that was the Zelda when I was like okay Zelda formula feels old now they need to switch it up, though also playing as the wolf was just very tedious and annoying, but I'd give TP another try cuz I'm on a gradual goal to beat most of the Zelda games. But I only ever played WW for a couple hours one day back in the GC days and was blown away by how good it was. Been dying to play it ever since and it has always been my most desired port for the Switch to get.

With Nintendo porting a bunch of old games before Switch is replaced to avoid dry spells, can they please just give us a bunch of these desired games next year before the next gen launch! It'd be a dream for them to suddenly announce WW, TP, Prime 2, and Prime 3 all releasing in the first few months next year.

I'm gonna get another pair of game vouchers as a present to myself for xmas so I can pick up Skyward Sword and Paper Mario: TTYD, but I think next spring I'll do another pair of vouchers to pick up XC1 and XCX so I can finally give this series a try.

Both Zelda games already work with the Wii U Pro Controller, so I don't think major tweaks are necessary, there's already a normal control scheme on these games after all.
