![]() And that's where Psychonauts 2 comes in.Īlthough it took its sweet time (more than 15 years after the original), Psychonauts 2 was a platformer whose 87 on Metacritic shows the boast of imagination proposed by the game and the good work at the controls of Double Fine and Tim Schafer. ![]() Nintendo Switch is well served with pirouettes and capers with the incessant rain of indies (Celeste, Fez) and remasters of classics (Mark of the Ninja, Sonic Mania Plus), but the truth is that these examples are almost entirely 2D and there is a lack of exponents of a certain magnitude that have approached the genre from the three dimensions. Jumping is not as satisfying with anyone as it is with Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby or Samus, among many other characters from the Miyamoto factory. The appearance of such a collection of industry classics in the successor to the console that saw them born would be like closeing the circle.Īlthough Sony reared its head in the days of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro or Jak & Daxter, let's not kid ourselves,Nintendo rules the jumping and platforming landscape with an iron fist. Still, the compilation would continue to be very dignified and a nice treat for Nintendo Switch owners. It is true that its adaptation would have problems, since a large part of those 30 included games could appear thanks to the backward compatibility of Xbox One with 360. Or what is the same, most of its fans are linked to Nintendo and not to the Microsoft. And do you know what all the names mentioned have in common? They originally came out for the NES and Nintendo 64. A project that we loved, but that had a catch: it was exclusive to Xbox One. Classics like Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark and Battletoads (whose recent reboot we wouldn't mind seeing on Nintendo Switch either). Hi-Fi Rush seems like a lost scion of the console.įor their 30th birthday, Rare released a beautiful compilation that gathered 30 of the studio's video games. ![]() Remember that Nintendo also likes the proposal enough to have given the green light to something like Cadence of Hyrule, putting the Zelda license in the hands of others, with all that this entails. But the fun of Hi-Fi Rush is to combine its combos and platforming with musical mechanics, in the manner of the last Rayman or Crypt of the NecroDancer. We are not saying this only because of its colorful graphics, but because the Nintendo platform enjoys a great relationship with the hack and slash genre (above all because of their partnership with Platinum Games, crystallized in Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain). And the truth is that Nintendo Switch would fit it like a glove. It Is Bethesda's highest rated game since Skyrim and the second highest score of the year, behind only Dead Space Remake. Its curious anti-marketing maneuver has turned out to have nothing to do with the quality of the product, as Hi-Fi Rush stands with an 88 on MetaCritic at this moment. The game from Tango Gameworks (the creators of The Evil Within) was announced overnight in a Developer Direct from Xbox and went on sale at the end of its presentation. We are still in February, but it will be difficult for someone to take the title of surprise of the year from Hi-Fi Rush. But if we’re saying AoE 2 we must also say Age of Empires IV, the future Age of Mythology: Retold or why not Gears Tactics. Nintendo Switch has proven to be a perfect platform for the RTS genre (thanks to Mario + Rabbids) and having the king of Kings of the genre would be a real hit. ![]() We know that Age of Empires is usually associated with a keyboard and mouse, but on January 31, 2023, Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition received a port for Xbox that broke with that idea and showed that it is also perfectly enjoyable with controllers. Far from being satisfied with this, those responsible added playable tweaks, dedicated servers for multiplayer, 3 new campaigns and 4 new civilizations. Age of Empires II: Definitive Editionīack in 2019, Microsoft celebrated the Age of Empires 2 20th Anniversary with a Definitive Edition that remastered the entire soundtrack of the game and revamped its graphics. Here’s 5 titles we’d love to get on the Nintendo Switch as soon as they launched on the platform. Surely impossible dreams, since it is most probable that this policy will be applied from now on and does not have revisionist intentions, but we can always hope. However, this decision could also lead to the launch of many other projects in the Nintendo hybrid console and today at MeriStation we wondered what recent Xbox titles we would like to see make the jump. The news was revealed by Brad Smith, vice president of the company, and seems to put the focus on Call of Duty in order to have the purchase of Activision Blizzard approved. Microsoft has recently announced a 10-year deal with Nintendo that will bring Xbox games to the Switch and its successors.
