Bought MHGU and pre-bought RE4 (still three weeks out, ugh.)

I was thinking about this, now that Switch is getting RE4, the system pretty much has every classic and evergreen title I could want, barring the following:

- Wind Waker + Twilight Princess HD
- Mario Galaxy 1 + 2
- A mainline Animal Crossing game
- A real Pokemon game

spoiler (click to show/hide)
And if it got MH World, KH collections, and a TEW collection, it'd be the best console of all-time hands down... but I still don't mind buying a PS4 for those eventually. The amount of third-party support, especially Final Fantasy and Bethesda's games, has been encouraging.

That's why u keep a hacked Wii U on the side to play those classics  ;)

RE4 Wii will always be the definitive game.

I don't play using the Joy-Cons for literally anything but Pokemon, which forces you to use them, but I would opt-in so hard if the Switch version approximated Wii Edition's control scheme with them.

Something tells me I shouldn't get my hopes up though...

Working at Retro means joining the family – locally and globally. It means breakfast & picnics with the team. It means collaboration with our Japanese partners. But for each individual, it means giving back to that family by bringing creativity, consideration and respect to the strong, wonderful IPs of Nintendo.

If you’re passionate about quality, about being a part of a creative culture and about Nintendo, you’re already one step closer to being part of Retro Studios.

Yeah no. Any time a company describes itself as a family, that just means they're gonna exploit the workers.

Working there feels like a resume builder more than anything else. 'Sure you'll make a bit less for a while but you can say you worked on Metroid!' :pimp

Devil May Cry just got announced for Switch.

Like...the first game on PS2.  Not a remake and presumably the 'HD' port-up that you can get with DMC1-3 for $20-$30 on other platforms.  So if they're going to release these individually, I hope they're $10 each.  But knowing Capcom, this will cost $20 or more.

I'll pay $30 for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series.

It's not like they could break Dragon's Dogma apart.

Plus they're doing this with RE and DMC because they are popular and they know enough people will buy it to make it worth suckering them. DD is pretty niche.

That's not what I mean- they released Dragon's Dogma exactly like it was on the other platforms.  They're doing the same with Resident Evil, albeit with RE0 being a download.  RE4 was at least a standalone release, too. 

DMC1 is the only game that they are taking out of a collection, already done and ready to go, and splitting it up because... :money, I guess.

I would actually not mind a stand-alone version of Bitterblack Isle because it’s way more enjoyable than the base game.

They're gonna keep adding more modes to it, so right now it's a lower-value proposition than it'll eventually end up.

They're only looking for a 'few' positions.

Such as:
Art director
Lead character artist
Lead graphics engineer
Lead cinematics artist
Lead External Environment Artist

Once those are filled in they can start pre-production on this thing for real.

Yeah uh, look forward to playing this in 4 years

I bought this just for the marathon mode...even though I have Puyo Puyo Tetris and it already has the same mode available.  :P  You can just get the Puyo Tetris free demo and do marathon mode, IIRC.  :lol

Saint's Row The Third is out today- some people got it early and have cited framerate issues (although video I saw looked fine), but it's supposed to have a day one patch today.  Hoping it turns out to be a good port.  Would totally play this all over again as a portable game.

Hmm... :thinking

I see some replies to it saying the game runs fine though (basically the same as it did in 2011), so I may still take a chance and open it.  It appears that the patch is more to address some bugs.  There's some reports of crashes here and there, missing subtitles, and some people who got it digitally can't play it yet. :lol
