A lot of NES era games had their box art changed for non-Japan releases to look less anime, sometimes to a hilarious extent.

i think the point was that it sounds like violet_sky thinks that the japanese box art for those games is the same as the western release. in which case, uh, i've got some bad news for you about dragon quest, buddy.

Hey, I've already beaten it, originally. I've paid my dues.

Now is the season of taking it (relatively) easy.

For real, though, the challenge is still there, you're just not wasting lives on it. And aside from saving a poo poo load of time, what's the difference between rewinding to not die vs loading up on 1 ups in the secret area?

That's not so much a leak as filling gaps on what's already known and some general wish fulfillment. You could predict the WiiU Zelda ports just by looking at all the other ported WiiU games, and Bayonetta 3's been a known thing for ages. Detective Pikachu got a well-liked live-action feature film, so a sequel's a pretty easy assumption to make. Even the article points out that Pokemon games seem to now be on a rotation and we're due for a remake of some kind next (the easy money would be Gold/Silver versions of Let's Go Pokemon imo as COVID is a factor in projects and literally half the work is already done). The rest are just popular Nintendo franchises that haven't been seen in a year or so, so you can make a ballpark guess for development on projects reaching about the point in 2021 that Nintendo can show off a trailer at least if they exist.

A HD remake of Skyward Sword could also potentially form part of this pack. That game was considered too much of a technical challenge to remake on the Wii U. But thanks to the Nintendo Switch’s joycons, a remake of this Wii game could now be a reality.

The idea actually isn't entirely stupid; If you play Super Mario Galaxy in the All-Stars 3D pack at all, you'll find Joycons actually do a pretty solid job of emulating Wiimote tracking even without the IR sensor bar as a reference. They obviously need to be re-centered every so often, but for general-use they work surprisingly well.

Not really. Games journalists just don't often have the incentive or the ability to follow up on leads, and always want to be the first to report something.

Like, hell I remember when I worked for a really small site, one of my colleagues was chatting with someone with Rockstar while playing a demo of GTA V or something, and the guy let slip that there was online multiplayer, something that hadn't been announced yet. He immediately published it without any follow up investigation, and we got a shitload of traffic as a result, everyone's chasing that high.

It won't be called the Switch Pro. It'll be called the Nintendo TV. You won't be able to play any games that require the touchscreen on it either.

Well presuming one did do checkerboard rendered 4k, it wouldn't have a 4k screen, probably still 720 or maybe like 960, so I don't think battery life would actually be effected that much as it would be running in a lower profile handheld anyway.

I think the bigger question is why the Wiiu wouldn't be able to handle a skyward sword remake and basing the arguement on the switch's joycons. The Wiiu supports wiimote and nunchucks, it wouldn't need joycons

Skyward Sword did not even use the sensor bar, it was all gyro. The sensor bar could automatically recalibrate the controller periodically, but when I was playing I usually used the manual recalibrate button anyway.
