Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Its fun and easy to break down into short play bursts, for those times where you only play your Switch for a few minutes... you know... like on bus/subway/metro

You forgot Wonderful 101 and TMS. Is that it?

Hmm...Pikmin 3...Yoshis Wooly World and PM Color Splash.

There really isn't much left to port. And most of those don't really need to be ported or won't be ported anyway.

As long as it is appropriately priced, I think it works better on the Switch since after a puzzle or two, you are usually done for the time being and can come back to it later.

Mario Tennis needs a 'basic controls' mode that makes it play exactly like Wii Sports Tennis. No fancy poo poo, just simply-as-hell gameplay so they can tap back in to that crowd of non-gamers they'd gotten a hold of with the Wii (because the Switch needs to sell even faster :v:).

At its core, a good Mario Tennis match is just an enhanced game of pong. Little cutscenes, minigames, poo poo that makes you invincible, or impossible for the receiver to return, ruins it

Ya, I did forget Wooly World and Color Splash, was never big into Pikmin or Wonderful 101 and haven't had time to get into any of the TMS games. But ya, if they port the top 10 over, that'll kill most of the need to keep the system around and even with the added dev cost to port, they'll get a return on investment finally.

DUNDEE, SCOTLAND – March 8th 2018 – GameMaker Studio 2, the leading 2D game development engine, has signed a deal with Nintendo, meaning GameMaker games can be exported directly to Nintendo Switch. GameMaker is expanding its already significant reach to developers looking to release on the hugely successful console that can be played anytime, anywhere, with anyone. First launched by YoYo Games in March 2017, GameMaker Studio 2 has seen continual growth since its release, and it is ready to take another step forward by forging a partnership with Nintendo. This will culminate with the launch of the GameMaker Studio 2 Nintendo Switch edition in summer, 2018.

“We’re thrilled to be entering into a relationship with Nintendo, with the opportunities this will bring to our game development community, and most importantly, the players themselves,” said James Cox, General Manager, YoYo Games. “Nintendo has been hugely supportive of bringing independent releases to the Nintendo Switch console, and this partnership will mean even more wonderful games are released on the platform. We’re working hard to ensure the Nintendo Switch version of GameMaker Studio 2 retains the already excellent functionality of the engine, and we are committed to supporting developers and studios who are keen to make the jump to Nintendo’s record-breaking console.”

Following the announcement of Undertale’s imminent arrival on Nintendo Switch, Toby Fox, creator of Undertale said, “I’m excited to use GameMaker Studio 2 to put Undertale on Nintendo Switch. I’m a big fan of Nintendo. I hope Mario plays my game.”

More information about the release date and the supported games will be announced closer to the official launch in summer, 2018.

Captain Toad is a great slow paced, chill out, stop and smell the roses kind of game. I've recently gone back to it to try and 100% it and am having a blast. Sometimes the camera is awful but it's not insurmountable.

Once funny quirk is that if you have a Toad amiibo, a mini pixel Toad will hide in the stage, and you need to find him and touch him on the Wiiu gamepad. When you are near his location, he chirps out this high pitched version of Captain Toad's signature, uh, sing song grunt thing he does. But the pixel Toad does it like 2 octaves higher, making it one of the most shrill, grating things ever, and when you're closer to finding him, he does it louder and faster. It is both brain piercing, and hilarious because jesus christ Nintendo.
