Hey there! I was wondering if the new game, Fallout: New Vegas 2, will be available on the upcoming Switch 2? I came across a discussion on the Wednesday letters page where readers were talking about their wishlist for new Fallout games set in different countries. One reader even expressed their hope for the return of Watch Dogs. If you want to join in on the conversation, you can email us at email.
Speaking of the Switch, have you heard the buzz about the possibility of N64 and GameCube games being added to the Nintendo Switch Online service? I can't help but wonder if we'll also see the Wii and Wii U joining the lineup. While Game Pass and PS Plus get all the attention, I personally believe that Nintendo's subscription service offers better value. I mean, who wouldn't want access to all of Nintendo's beloved titles at the press of a button? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that since not all games and consoles are available on the service yet. I really hope we don't have to wait until the Switch 3 to see Wii games being added. The Wii may not be everyone's favorite console, but it has some amazing titles like Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Mario Kart Wii, Resident Evil 4 (the best version!), Super Paper Mario, Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, and many others that are not available on any other platform. It might take a few years, but I believe it's inevitable for the Wii to join the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Moving on to other games, it's quite surprising that there haven't been many new Fallout games in the modern age. Some might even assume that the series isn't as popular anymore, but then again, how do you explain the success of the TV show? As a fan, I would love to see a new installment, and I wouldn't mind if it wasn't developed by Bethesda. On the other hand, it's also a good thing that at least one franchise hasn't been overused and saturated.
If we're talking about games, I have to mention Helldivers 2 by Sony. Despite all the criticism they receive for their live service, this game is really good. I'm not sure if it's worth putting up with all the failures, but I guess it's Sony's call since they're the ones investing in it. For Xbox owners, I highly recommend giving it a try when it comes to their consoles next month. It may not be the most original game, but it has evolved a lot over the months. Plus, unlike many online games, there haven't been many controversies and most players are pretty chill in my experience. In fact, some of the recent additions have been the best, and I can't imagine stopping playing it anytime soon.
Now, let's switch gears and talk about Microsoft. I have to say, I've never seen so much negativity towards Xbox before. I'm not talking about the console wars, but rather the frustration and disappointment towards Microsoft for laying off so many people and canceling their games. A lot of people seem to be angry about their obsession with AI and the unreliability of executives like Phil Spencer. I'm sure he won't give up on the success he's achieved at Xbox, but I do wonder how he'll have the courage to appear in another video or livestream. At the end of the day, Microsoft is just a corporation, and their main focus is profit. It may sound obvious, but I think some people have tried to convince themselves otherwise over the years.
On a lighter note, I completely agree with you about the importance of co-op in games. It's such a shame that it's not as popular as it used to be. Games like It Takes Two and Split Fiction have shown how fun and successful co-op games can be. With titles like Resident Evil, you don't even have to design the whole game around co-op, it can simply be an option. I believe many other games could greatly benefit from incorporating co-op, like Assassin's Creed Shadows, for example. How can a game with two completely different characters not have a co-op mode? It's a missed opportunity in my opinion. By the way, I heard that Shadows is getting a co-op mode next year, so that's something to look forward to!
Lastly, I just wanted to remind you to email us your comments at email. We always appreciate hearing from our readers. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
Hello there, my fellow gamers! I couldn't help but join in on the discussions about the latest news and rumors in the gaming world. I came across an interesting question on the Wednesday letters page - will we ever see new Fallout games set in different countries? As a fan of the series, I can't help but wonder if we'll ever get to explore new locations and stories in the Fallout universe. And on a similar note, another reader expressed their hopes for the return of Watch Dogs. Have you played that game before? I've heard great things about it.
Speaking of new games, I've been wondering if there's a possibility for the Wii and Wii U to be added to Nintendo Switch Online. With all the talk about N64 and GameCube games being added to the service, I can't help but imagine the possibilities. I mean, who wouldn't want to have access to all of Nintendo's classic hits at the press of a button? However, as we all know, it's never that simple with Nintendo. Many games and consoles are still not available on the service. But I do have high hopes that we won't have to wait for the Switch 3 to get our hands on some Wii games. After all, the Wii may not be everyone's favorite console, but it has some amazing titles like Super Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil 4, and Mario Kart Wii, just to name a few.
As for the success of Nintendo Switch Online, I'm not surprised. It's a great subscription service that offers amazing value, at least for me. I know Game Pass and PS Plus get a lot of attention, but for me, Nintendo's service is the best. However, I do think it's inevitable for the Wii and maybe even the Wii U to be added to the service in the future. Maybe not for a few years, but I have a feeling it will happen eventually.
Moving on to other gaming news, have you guys heard about the new Fallout game? It's kind of crazy how few games there have been in the modern age. Some may think that the series is not that popular, but then how do you explain the success of the TV show? Personally, I would love to see a new Fallout game, and I wouldn't mind if it wasn't developed by Bethesda. But at the same time, I appreciate that at least one franchise hasn't been overused and worn out.
On a different note, I've been enjoying my time with Helldivers 2 on Sony's live service. I know Sony has received a lot of criticism for their failures, but I have to say that this game is really good. I'm not sure if it's worth putting up with all the issues, but that's on Sony for not addressing them properly. I would definitely recommend it to Xbox owners, as it's coming to their consoles next month. It's not the most original game, but it has evolved a lot over the months and the community is mostly chill.
Now, onto a topic that has been causing quite a stir in the gaming community - Microsoft's recent layoffs and game cancellations. I have never seen such negativity aimed at Xbox before. It's not about the console wars, but rather people are just furious with Microsoft for their decisions. Many are unhappy with their obsession with AI and the unreliability of their executives, such as Phil Spencer. I wonder if he will even have the courage to appear in another video or livestream after all of this.
But let's not forget that at the end of the day, Microsoft is just a corporation. They are only interested in one thing, and that should come as no surprise. However, I do think that over the years, some people have tried to pretend that it's not the case.
On a lighter note, have you guys played Resident Evil Requiem? I'm really hoping that it has a co-op feature or that there will be a spin-off game that does. Co-op has become quite rare nowadays, and I don't understand why. Games like It Takes Two and Split Fiction have shown that co-op can be amazing and popular. And with a game like Resident Evil, adding a co-op option would only enhance the experience. It's a shame that so many other games miss out on this opportunity. I mean, how does Assassin's Creed Shadows not have co-op when it has two different characters? Hopefully, we'll see more games embracing co-op in the future.
