Support NeoGAF

[_Ryo_]

It'd be pretty cool if the Goo felt gooey in World of Goo.

 

[hatchx]

World of Goo is absolutely fantastic. If you missed it, well, don't miss it this time.

I wonder if it uses the touchscreen (probably) and if it uses the haptic feedback.

Also wondering if there is some style of pointer-esque controls with the joycon. I know there is no IR, but maybe a virtual-mouse type thing.

 

[Berordn]

And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago and like new but equally fun games...crazy eh?

It's almost like you're not obligated to buy them and this isn't stopping any other developer from releasing new games for the system.

 

[squidyj]

Probably because they heavily rely on motion controls

yeah, motion control favorite human resource machine over here.

 

[Nairume]

And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago and like new but equally fun games...crazy eh?

Can't we have both?

 

[trutrutru]

These are all games I've never played before, so I don't care if they are port or not.

And thats great. Lot of us have played these before. And some of us also, just like to see a little more ambition out of the 3rd party support. A port of a wii game doesnt exactly scream effort

 

[Prevolition]

I absolutely loved these games. Can't wait to replay when Switch drops... in price.

Little Inferno will be a fitting holiday title for me.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago

Not bored enough to post about them.

 

[Discokuningas]

I think World of Goo might still be the best indie game I have ever played. Little Inferno is up there too and Human Resource Machine is good but not as great as the others.

 

[JosephManderley]

Little Inferno was the 1st game I bought for the Wii U, and it was an ABSOLUTE GEM!

If the price is right, I'll double-dip. Will probably pick up the others as I've not played them.

 

[LordofPwn]

great that indies are flocking to it. Become my Vita 2.0

 

[trutrutru]

Can't we have both?

Sure, just ask nintendo why they arent providing a proper ratio of both though. Its port city so far

 

[Seik]

And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago and like new but equally fun games...crazy eh?

It's fun that fun games carry-on to future platforms so that people that didn't enjoyed those, like me, have the chance to.

But that's crazy talk, eh?

 

[jonno394]

The more the merrier. Never played any of them so they're new to me. Add them to the ever growing list of games i want to get on the switch.

My hype has come a long way from the damage the 13th did and nearly cancelling my preorder!

 

[Discokuningas]

Also wondering if there is some style of pointer-esque controls with the joycon. I know there is no IR, but maybe a virtual-mouse type thing.

Skyward Sword uses that kind of pointer so why couldn't Switch. Haven't seen anyone brought it up.

 

[trutrutru]

Not bored enough to post about them.

Try harder

 

[chrominance]

But you could just buy all of those games for under 10€ on PC, couldn't you? There's some great potential for PC + Switch Humble Bundles here but other than that I think it will be difficult to sell those games again to PC owners. At least for games that have gotten as cheap as those three.

For some reason I thought they literally gave World of Goo away for a while on PC, but I can't find any reference to it. Either way, yes, all three games have gone on sale for less than $10 USD. World of Goo has been as low as $1. All three have also been in Humble Bundles before, though Human Resource Machine has only been in one (makes sense, it's the newest game).

Cool that Switch is getting these games, but I have to agree, they're not going to sell anyone on the platform. World of Goo is probably available on toasters by now.

 

[Fuzzy]

I'd consider picking up physical releases, otherwise I'll pass.

 

[marc^o^]

And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago and like new but equally fun games...crazy eh?

I think we are all bored with things others enjoy. I could point you to my Steam account, you'd see I barely play most AAA games I buy, whereas simpler arcade games count hours of game time.

 

[trutrutru]

It's fun that fun games carry-on to future platforms so that people that didn't enjoyed those, like me, have the chance to.

But that's crazy talk, eh?

It is if thats all they are offering.

 

[Lylo]

Wasn't it a Wii game originally?

Yes, it was, the pointing controls were great, i guess they're gonna keep that for the docked mode and use the touchscreen for handheld mode. I think it'll work really well.

Out of those 3 World of Goo is easily my favorite.

 

[psyfi]

I want the Switch to rival the PS4 in its support of indies.

 

[Social]

I'm starting to feel better about my preorder

 

[jwillenn]

That's cool!
I loved World of Goo and Little Inferno! I could consider double dipping, but it will not be a high priority.

 

[Richie]

People really rejoicing over ports still?

And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago and like new but equally fun games...crazy eh?

From the thread where Tantalus was asking for suggestions for Switch remasters:

If they can sort the rights out. Ultimate muscle from the gsmecube or even wwf no mercy from the n64.

 

[marc^o^]

I wonder if it uses the haptic feedback.

If haptic feedback is real, I will buy far more touchscreen games. I don't quite believe Nintendo decided to hid this feature. It'd be awesome though.

 

[eltercero]

Can't be very hard to port games to Switch if they announce three at the same time.

 

[shauntu]

2 of my favorite games, Little Inferno was weirdly interesting curiosity meanwhile.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

From the thread where Tantalus was asking for suggestions for Switch remasters:

It was inevitable...

 

[guek]

Switch is going to be an indie darling, no doubt about it.

(March 3rd is also Nintendo Switch's launch date. )

So other than a few things, the Switch is getting roughly between 5-7 year old games?
I don't get it, I mean whatever sure put more stuff on there but come on.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Can't say I'll be re-buying World of Goo when I already own it on three platforms and have replayed it countless time... but cool to see it available on more platforms, I guess. Everyone should play it.

Can't say I cared much for Human Resources Machine or Little Inferno. Would love a proper World of Goo 2 someday...

 

[Cuningas de Häme]

HRM actually sounds pretty neat. Might have to try it.

Try harder

Zombie Vikings developpers ported it on Switch, just to experiment it, they're not even sure to sell it.
It must be easy indeed to port games to Switch, knowing that.

 

[redcrayon]

World of Goo is a great game, my wife and I adored it on the Wii.

 

[Dark Cloud]

It is if thats all they are offering.

You're clearly derailing this thread...I hope someone says something to you.

 

[trutrutru]

To clarify. I have no issue with these games. My comments are of the switch library in general

 

[BlastProcessing]

And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago and like new but equally fun games...crazy eh?

Some people, sure.

But your post was incredulous that anyone would look forward to these games, completely ignoring the fact that plenty of people would double dip and even more people would have the opportunity to play these games for the first time.

 

[jariw]

I don't get it, I mean whatever sure put more stuff on there but come on.

HRM is 1.5 years since its initial release, AFAIK.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

lol

You could always contact the developers and express your dissatisfaction that they DEAR to release their older games on a new platform.

 

[PetrCobra]

I'm rejoicing that there's a variety of games for me to play at launch.

 

[trutrutru]

Hmmm...

I believe we can look at the list of games to substantiate my opinion on the switch library. Secondly. I am not ramming my opinion into this thread. People responded to me. Im responding back. People wanna throw a little attitude or jabs in their responses, and im just returning the favor. If your bugging me about behaviour, please speak to others as well. Thanks

 

[GinoFelino]

Nvm, misread comment.

HYPE FOR SWITCH THO

 

[Dystify]

So other than a few things, the Switch is getting roughly between 5-7 year old games?
I don't get it, I mean whatever sure put more stuff on there but come on.

If you look at the launch of all recent consoles, you'd notice they are all quite port-heavy. More original games will come with time.

 

[Cartman86]

Little Inferno is a classic and it's a shame so few people engaged with it.

 

[trutrutru]

Some people, sure.

But your post was incredulous that anyone would look forward to these games, completely ignoring the fact that plenty of people would double dip and even more people would have the opportunity to play these games for the first time.

Point taken.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I don't get it, I mean whatever sure put more stuff on there but come on.

But I like these games.

 

[Cynar]

Imagine if there was a decent account system. You could download these ports again since you've already purchased them before.

 

[Oregano]

Imagine if there was a decent account system. You could download these ports again since you've already purchased them before.

Yup that's why you can download all your purchased PS1 and PS2 games on the PS4.
