Abort or A Port

I've actually got a soft spot for Theme Hospital. There's not a lot out there like it whereas Theme Park had to contend with the likes of Rollercoaster Tycoon. So, off to the doctor's we go!

Abort or Port?

I'm surprised Two Point Hospital hasn't been ported to anything yet.

Anyway, this is easy as I've never got why people love Titanfall 2, that I have to go for Apex as till playing I would have said BR's are shite but it convinced me otherwise.

Just as well mas got in there first because I don't think I could genuinely pick between Apex or Titanfall 2 as both are superb!

As for mas' picks? It has to be Ori and the blind forest.

How about a we have a Dreamcast special

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing! I'd quite like to see both ported though.

Argh bugger, I've got some

catching up to do:

As for Cappa's, it is without a doubt Soul Calibur II.  I never played Tekken 3, but SCII is the last 'proper' fighter I played and got into.  Come for Link, stay for the massive campaign mode.  Top top game.


Abort or A Port?

I think I've agreed with most of the picks so far. I would love to see a Theme Hospital game ported over to the Switch. There's something about those old Bullfrog games.

I think I might have gone for Titanfall 2 instead of Apex, but that's a close call.

On Balla's picks. I know Bloodborne is a great game, but I've already played it and Nioh is the fresher face so lets go with Nioh!

Bloodborne just wouldn't happen either since it's published by Sony, also I've been meaning to get Nioh (too many games) and a Switch port would likely get me to bite.

Port Tomba/Tombi there. Mr. Driller is grand, but it's been the same basic game for the last twenty years, and once you've played one, you've played them all.

I'm assuming we can go as daft as we want with these, right Mas? Nice bit of Halo on the Switch?

I think I'll leave this one to somebody else...

Ahh I figured that might be the case.

Nier vs. Persona 5: I'd probably rather play Nier, but it's Persona 5 for the very shallow reason of justifying Joker's existence in SSBU in my eyes.

Surprised as I would have thought Nier is to actiony for you and Persona 5 is easily the best JRPG we've had in the past 5 years maybe longer, that I thought that would be your choice being a fan of the genre, even without SMASH.

Apex vs. Titanfall 2: Titanfall 2 all day every day.  I've heard very good things about Titanfall's single-player.  Does Apex even have a single-player?  I don't care for online shootybang stuff, not being good at aiming kind of reduces the appeal.

Nope Apex doesn't have a single player mode being a f2p BR game, that I reckon you would get more out of T2 because it has an SP mode. However, if both did come to Switch, I can see me playing Apex and maybe some others on here as well would that are playing on PS4, not Xbox.

Ori vs. Sunset Overdrive: Wasn't Sunset actually a bit bobbins once the orange dust settled?  Definitely Ori.

Whoever told you Sunset is bobbins are utterly WRONG!, it is part from Forza Horizon 4 (I've still not played Ori) the best Xbox One "Exclusive" by a mile. If it was a PS4 game (same goes for Quantum Break) we would have had a sequel by now and it would be praised more then it is.

Yep as Nioh is also a Sony published game and we've had God of War (2018) brought up that anything goes.

NBA Street 2 as street basketball games always seem to make a bit more sense to me.

I think you've picked a winner in NBA Street Mas. I never did play Fifa Street, but NBA Street Vol. 2 is a class act through and through and I imagine it would still hold up today.

I know nothing about either of those Kojima titles beyond Policenauts turning up as a poster in MGS1, so I'll leave that to somebody else.

At the end of the day I prefer games with more gameplay than less.  I'm possibly also suffering a little bit of JRPG fatigue after playing two massive ones in two years.  Then again, I don't know much about Nier.  Maybe I'm wrong.

I may be misremembering, it is very possible.

As for Mas' choices, I marginally prefer the art style of Policenauts, and Google Image search didn't immediately throw a shower scene at me when I looked it up; so that!


Abort or a port?  Let's say that the developers say the other two are 'likely if the first game sells well'.

I'm not going to pick as my game was before this one but even though I love both of those series. The one has been going downhill for years and the other pretty much got better.

But the first game of one is a masterpiece and other is just okay.

I'd like to give Halo another try. I played it when it was new and thought it was a load of sci-fi pish. I'm not thirteen anymore though, so maybe it's all right.

That's an excellent shout with only one right answer that I'm not going to do because I suggested the last one.

I know Picross DS is the right choice but doesn't Switch already have a few versions of the standard game on it? For that reason I will go with 3d one.

The Switch only has the Picross e series (now renamed 'Picross s'), which lack a lot of the charm, substance, and feeling of not being a phone-in of the DS game. 3D's still good, but not anywhere near the same league.

I've not played either. But a GTA game on Switch would do numbers, and I think it would be great if Rockstar started making stuff for the Switch so Chinatown gets my vote.

And now onto the abort or port dream fatal fourway:

Wheel of Fortune seems like it'd be best positioned for some multiplayer Switch antics, so that.

The answer's The Weakest Link for the deadpan snark lines alone and I can't believe any fool would say otherwise. As for Jay, the Borderlands series' style has always appealed to me, whereas Destiny looked like the drabbest dullest First-Person Looter imaginable. So BL2. Preferably BL1 as well: I understand the story's fairly important.

Not reaaaally... it's more set dressing for having fun shooting times with your mates. BL1's story could be summed up with a sentence or two.

This came up on a podcast recently. I'm not sure how well it holds up; sounds like she got pretty homophobic and did a lot of bodyshaming. Still, putting on Muss' glasses and insulting everyone at the table was a good party trick for a couple weeks a few years ago.

For me and my mates, The Weakest Link on PSone holds some of our all-time favourite multiplayer memories. Some very hilarious, but some very bittersweet as they involve one of our best pals who passed away a couple of years ago. I just bought a copy for one of these mates as he's started having folk round for old retro gaming. It's a really important game for us.
