I find it pretty funny that they are just straight up ignoring VIII. That being said I like that these are going to be available in the library. I have been getting the urge to play through IX again and was thinking about picking it up on steam. I would much rather be able to play through it on the switch though. Hopefully the prices aren't too bad.

My kid will be happy to hear about the Animal Crossing bit.

Only thing from that I really care for is the new Yoshi game. I love the art style in it and it just oozes charm. I'll pick that up next spring.

EDIT:

Your link doesn't show nearly everything that was shown. There was quite a bit more shown including a Capcom beat-em-up collection, Mega Man 11, the Yoshi game, a Starfox spinoff game, and a few others.

No it didn't. I was limited by the sites that weren't blocked at work. I posted the video to the direct and added more

Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing...nice. Don't know why but I really like the Animal Crossing games.

If only there was info on Pikmin 4

My understanding is that none of the Final Fantasy's are being enhanced or remastered. Simply converted.

Isn’t world of final fantasy getting some specific switch features added on? Don’t know where I saw something like that but anyway it probably won’t be all that different from PS4. It was a great game by the way.
