NES Switch drops tomorrow

Spyder73 · #1 03-02-2017, 03:30 PM

I think I have convinced myself to pick this thing up. The new Zelda looks sweet and they will inevitably have new Mario and Mario Kart for it...I saw something about a Dragon Warrior game as well...Could be fun to have for traveling and maybe even lunch time at work.

Anyone else getting onboard with the Switch or am I an a$$hole idiot for buying one?

If it was not portable I don't think I would be interested in the slightest

Dude that Zelda looks amazing! But I am not convinced I want to buy it just for that. I need to look up that Dragon Warrior game you are talking about.

I have all four original Dragon Warriors. I wish they put those on the NES Classic Edition.

I wish they would just allow everyone to DL all the old classic NES games but with that stupid new console they have out I doubt that will be an option for quite some time.

I have a regular NES cartridge that has like 500 NES games on it, they could easily make a modern game that has literally every single NES game on it.

Would be nice but I researched that once and the reason they don't release something with like 500 games is due to licensing. Unfortunately Nintendo doesn't have the license to all games. I'd love for them to release a console with my favorites...listed below.

Oh, btw, no you are normal for wanting to grab a switch and I highly doubt you are alone.

I would settle for:
All Dragon Warrior games
All Final Fantasy games
Blaster Master
Yars Revenge
Joust
All Mega Mans
All Ninja Gaidens
All Castlevanias

I'm bored now...there are more.

Last I heard was that Nintendo was working on the licensing for all their old games in order to have them downloadable to the switch. There's definately a demand, and would make a lot of sense business wise.

If that is true...HOLY SMOKES! That's awesome.

Even if its not an official release I bet the pirate market will make old NES games available...OK I am definitely buying one now

Some guy on Something Awful wrote up 9 reasons to not buy a Switch, and was banned instantly.

Whats the criticism of the Switch? I didn't get to read these reasons. Any help on the short of what the argument might be?

BoTW has gotten a perfect 10/10 or 100% score from every single reviewer in the world.

If you are a fan of Zelda, it's being said by everyone whose played it that it's the best Zelda entry of the entire franchise.

Yeah, I'm hyped.
