This Old Neon Forum

The announced lineup for the Switch is very small. This lets us use our imaginations!

What games are on your Switch wishlist?

These can be real games that exist and have been hinted/announced, or they can be dream games that you'd like to play on the system.

You can even use this thread to keep your wishlist updated if you think of any new games or if enticing games are announced.

For me, this is what I could be convinced to buy on the system:

Announced:

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2018 Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem Warriors
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII with PUK is coming to Switch as well, but I think I'm going to stick with the PS4 for that one.

Not Announced:

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance + Radiant Dawn HD compilation
Xenoblade Chronicles actual 1080p HD version (not junk Wii or junk 3DS versions)
Pokémon GO: STAY Edition
2D Metroid

Just this: Metroid 2D or 3D (not in between) with Samus

All I have wanted for the past 13 (nearly 14) years is another god damn F-Zero. If that's all they put on this thing for the next 5 years I'd still be happy with my purchase.

F-ZERO PLEASE

I'm definitely sold on
Breath of the Wild
Super Mario Odyssey
Splatoon 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Fire Emblem Warriors + 2018 game.

My dreams:
I would love to see more 3D platformers. Particularly, I'd love to see another 3D Donkey Kong game. Maybe this genre is already filled by Yooka Laylee, but I really like the DK characters and I think the move sets work well in a 3D space. I also think diverse jungle themes would be great in 3D.

I also would like to see Kirby enter the 3D realm, but personally I don't know how well it would work. Just another franchise that would look fantastic in a 3D open space.

In terms of sequels, a sequel to Kid Icarus Uprising would make me really happy.

I want the obligatory Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Animal Crossing sequels - and I want them all to focus on seamless online experiences.

A Metroid game would really excite me. I don't think a 2D game is what the series needs, but I would welcome it.

Ah, didn't mention the games I'm interested in already.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Bomberman R
Shin Megami Tensei V


Also very interested in the forthcoming online Virtual Console games, as well as the new online services in general. Nintendo having a remotely decent online service is long past due.

A 2D game is exactly what the series needs, since the only good Metroid games have been 2D. Hell, it's long past due—the best Metrovania games now aren't even Metroid games.

It's also not a foregone conclusion, so let's keep our fingers crossed!

3D games make a bigger splash, and I think that's what the series needs for popularity sake. I thought Metroid Prime was held in pretty high regard overall. I think Nintendo needs to make a big 3D Metroid game to get people invested in the series, and then come out with a 2D game after. Similar to how they released Metroid Prime and Fusion (I think) very closely together.

Also a wish of mine, Gamecube VC. I want to play Luigi's Mansion, Mario Sunshine, Thousand Year Door, among others again. I also hope the pricing schemes for VC have been updated. We've been paying $5 for NES games and $10 for N64 games since 2006 (prices for VC have actually raised in Canada, but that's another problem).

Oh, I totally agree. That's more of a wishlist item than an expected item. Here's hoping!

Want:

Fire Emblem Switch
squid hentais the second ink job
super mario whatever
Fisticuffs (maybe)
xenoanime
disgaea 5
s&mt5

Lust:

Captain Falcon Beat Em Up
Gotcha Force re-release with online
Rance Switch
Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy Remake
Shantae and the Bubble Bath
rune factory 5
Japanafornian lawyer simulator
The World Ends With 2
mario retardy with online
Kirby with bro-op online
Monster Hunter (but this time it's actually) 5
i dunno throw some rpgs, rhythm games, strategy games and maybe even fighting games on there.

i'm so done with zelda and pokemen to be honest. Breath of the Wild might be interesting just because it's different, but I'd wait to read people's impressions before bothering.
