Looks like Monster Hunter will be a fail. Already over one million people bought it and they don’t care much about the Nintendo Switch edition. Well… Capcom learn to do new games, you are late to the party this time (like anyone except indies and Nintendo, well Ubisoft did something too with Mario + Rabbids).
Notice how Monster Hunter World isn’t there at all? That should be even more worrying than XX. Heck there’s games we know absolutely nothing about like Fire Emblem and Dragon Quest.
Notice how this is a Nintendo-only list?
I just did. It’s very early in the morning.
“Metroid Samus Returns (3DS) – 214”
damn son! metroid is sparking some interest in the japanese community right now (even though it’s only no.4). Hopefully this points towards good sales as if the game does well we could get a metroid 5 finally!
Metroid 5 for Switch. I can just imagine it :D
Metroid 5 would kick some serious ass if they ever decided to make it! Essentially a prime 4 tier announcement for 2d fans!!!
Heh. I was just talking with some friends tonight about Odyssey. Can’t believe how close we are to release! Only a little over 2 months. So excited. And Sonic Mania next week! This has been a great year for games.
Nintendo announcing TWO new metroid games already made this year the best in gaming history for me!
Good point! I’m very excited for both of the new games. ☺
Make a Metroid for Switch!!! I know it’s coming next year, but a new sidescroller for this year to satisfy us fans
There isn’t nearly enough time to make a whole new 2d metroid for the switch for this year. Maybe in about 2-3 years if samus returns sells well they could make a new 2D one for the switch. Games take a while to make unfortunately and if samus returns doesn’t sell well, I don’t think it’ll ever happen sadly.
I can’t stop hearing Super Mario Odyssey Main Theme.
So happy to see Xenoblade on the 2nd spot!
You guys need to listen to New P!nk song “What About Us”… love it!
Sadly, Super Mario Odyssey is the only MUST HAVE Nintendo game on my radar at the moment.
