GameCube library.
I would bet a GC library added to NSO would be exclusive to NX2 simply due to memory situation...
and to push NSO on next gen
and another reason to have NSO. i also believe switch 2 only on gamecube games
If Nintendo allowed NSO GameCube (and Wii as well) on Switch, I have a feeling they would split it into a bunch of DLC lists so you can pick and choose the memory you use. Because GameCube single-disc games are up to 1.46 GB and Wii single-disc games are up to 4.7 GB.
That does make me think they'll be on Switch 2 only as a little incentive to buy Switch 2.
A lot of the Gamecube games are already on Switch. I guess I'd be down for the 60 FPS version of Tales of Symphonia. Still hoping for Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, but I'd rather have cartridge versions of the Wii U HD versions. Wind Waker HD had a lot of QoL improvements over the Gamecube original. Would also love to have Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance in one form or another.
Damn, that Switch 2 show on april 2nd must be packed.
I'm thinking so.
There are still some third-party Switch games to update and reveal, as well as some possible reveals of Switch exclusives by Nintendo.
I think they're going to be quiet about any potential cross-gen games, as that would need to be revealed during the Switch 2 Direct or later.
Yeah, and again technically any first-party (or third) games revealed tomorrow will all play on Switch 2 just fine, as Nintendo confirmed full backwards-compatibility last year. And I do believe Switch 2 will play those titles in a PS5-ish enhanced mode. For games with dynamic resolution scaling, like a 720-1080p window for docked mode, Switch 2 will run it flat out at 1080p throughout thanks to its huge increase in power. Or games that ran at say 45-60fps will run locked at 60fps on Switch 2. Some people are expecting DLSS upscaling to be available for all Switch 1 titles, but I don't think that will happen. DLSS still needs in-game integration from the developer, you can't just force it on with perfect results.
But I am also totally expecting at least one, if not more games, to get full Switch 2 releases as well with better textures/models/new control options/etc. And that one I am totally banking on is Metroid Prime 4.
Kirby RoboPlanet HD
Hmm dream would be for Prime 2 and 3 to be released at the end of the Direct, get a full reveal on Prime 4 with release date this Spring, and have Wind Waker and Twilight Princess announced for Switch release soon as well.
Ok, did not expect this. Hoping for a new Ace Attorney game.
Wow, this is an actual full on Direct! I was figuring it would be a Mini or Partner Direct.
I have no idea what they'll show, but I'm hoping we see some Square Enix titles:
Xenogears port.
Chrono Trigger Pixel Remaster (SNES version)
Continue after ActRaiser, and get us Soul Blazer, Illusion of Time, and Terrangima remasters
I'd be thrilled with any one of these. But I'm guessing it'll be stuff that will be good (don't get me wrong), but stuff I'm not interested in: Metroid, Pokemon, some kind of and games of that sort.
Other than that, I'd love to see an update on Lunar SSS and EB remasters. And the Dragon Quest stuff.
Lunar, yes. A thousand times yes.
Mother 3, here we come!
Don't get our hopes up like this. That's just mean.
Wat? With less than one week in between, that's crazy
I don't like the idea of Milhouse having two Nintendo directs in the same week. Iykyk
Lousy Smarch directs!
Drat, I'm working then.....
