LA Noire? Jeez. The fact that publishers are willing to go square-peg-round-hole to get something, anything released on Switch is one metric of its success I suppose.

rockstar should just reconfigure Chinatown Wars for Switch, since it's the best GTA

Leaks pre launch, in order of most to least likely:

*Smash Bros For Switch
*Crossover Mario/Rabbids game
*Metroid Prime 4
*Rockstar puts a game on the Switch but it's LA Noire

Good thing I'm not a betting man.

[Edit: Press release specifies 1080p for PS4 + Xbone, either they think Ninentdogs don't care about numbers or we 720p docked]

[Edit to avoid double post: I think the last rumor that has yet to be debunked/proved is the Dark Souls Trilogy, how long until that's announced I wonder?]

Let me tell you about true luxury.

So I spoke to two developers of games for Switch at an event recently and one team got released for sale after initial submission for review in one month and it took the other team 1.5 months with minor fixes required. Given that we can expect Stardew in about 4 weeks or so

I wonder how much Konami would want for the licence for porting MGS games, being able to play a MGS/2/3 HD on the Switch would be awesome.

If they hadn't fired Kojima it would have probably already happened, remade in Fox :sigh:

If LA Noire is like $30-40 I might get it again since I genuinely loved the game and story even though it was far from perfect. At $60, though? Sorry, that’s only for perfect games like Skyrim.

Guess what: Skyrim isn't very good when you can't mod in a good UI. Like Oblivion it just doesn't hold up very well without mods and it doesn't have good writing or quest design to fall back on.

Looks okay but I hope you can turn off the voice acting. It would be cool if Adventures of Mana got a Switch port. I don't want to play that on my phone.:argh:

You can play AoM with a controller, for what it's worth, and you can also play it on an Android TV device like the Nexus Player if you have one of those.
But... it's really not that great of a game. There's not really that much in terms of quality-of-life improvements from the original Gameboy version.

As for this remake, they sure took SoM and made it as sterile and generic looking as possible.

Or you could just get an emulator and play it on pretty much any electronic device with a screen, as has been possible for the last 20 years.

They've just... had... this MGS2 HD port lying around. For like, half a decade or more.

So obviously it's going to the Nvidia Shield and not, you know, Steam.

I was actually thinking about this. Since the internals are (as far as we know) pretty much identical, and it's doubtful that they rely on anything Android provides (since Android uses OpenGL/Vulkin instead of Metal like iOS has), shouldn't it be... relatively easy for companies to port Shield games to the switch? Portal, Half-Life 2, and MGS 2 HD would all be Perfect For The Switch®

[Edit: Looking at teardowns of both devices does indeed reveal some common chips, which I had assumed anyway. Especially amusing to me is this sentence from the Shield TV teardown:

What's interesting is that it looks as if [the motherboard] was designed to go into a small tablet or something and is about the size of a credit card

Yes, very interesting. Though of course the Switch sports an entirely different mobo design.]

Unfortunately the series is probably dead after the abortion that was FM:E. Which is a shame, as it was my favorite sqeenix IP. I don't think it was largely popular outside of though, so the likelihood of another game in the series is probably pretty low to begin with.

Rather they expend effort on adding Switch to consoles eventually getting Bully 2. I'm still convinced we could see it in 2018 even though it hasn't even been announced at all yet but who knows.
