The onslaught of ports is the inevitable side effect of the success of the Switch. The Switch is not going to turn into a dumping ground for games that came out on the Xbox 360 or Wii U four or five years ago. It’s easy to get disappointed that Nintendo didn’t reveal a bunch of new games during this latest Direct, but I wouldn’t freak out and start worrying that Nintendo is running out of ideas. If you black crystal and then quit the game normally, I don t think youll get banned again. This will give fans a chance to play one of their old favorites, but it’s the people who never played a Dark Souls before that likely attracted Bandai Namco and other companies to the Switch. Gixen, I think the ban is coming from you quitting from the host world. The biggest of these is Dark Souls: Remastered, which is due out May 25 for Switch as well as PC and the other consoles. Nintendo’s video event sprinkled in a couple of new releases among a deluge of ports and remasters. I haven’t looked at the reactions to the latest Nintendo Direct from fans, but I can imagine that a lot of people are dropping snarky comments about how the system gets so many older games.
