Why isn’t this on Switch? It’s a collection of freaking NES games. But that’s all the more reason to port the darn thing! Playing this awesome version of Geometry Wars in HD for the first time would be killer. Ownership aside, Galaxies is such an amazing game, and such a criminally underplayed one thanks to it being a Wii and DS game to begin with. Now, there might be some sort of rights issues tied up somewhere with the game’s original creators Bizarre Creations, and maybe some weirdness with its original publisher Sierra, but if I had to guess, I’d say the brand itself is probably owned by Lucid Games, the company who spun out of Bizarre Creations.

The whole Geometry Wars series should be playable on pretty much everything, but specifically, if I had to pick just one that confuses me, it’s Geometry Wars Galaxies not being on everything. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is a masterpiece. I simply do not understand why this isn’t a thing. But the Switch is just sitting there, running games like DOOM 2016, running the excellent Bridge Constructor Portal, and no Portal? Either of them? They’d be such a perfect fit! They probably wouldn’t have handled themselves too well on the Wii or the 3DS, and the Wii U wasn’t exactly sales gold. Portal and Portal 2 have never been on a Nintendo console, and granted, there’s a good reason.

True, those consoles haven’t been out there very long so I guess that isn’t completely fair, but the PS4 and Xbox One have the same problem, so what the heck, right?Īnd then there’s the Switch. There are currently ways to purchase these games on some digital shops, but if you wanted to go out and buy a physical PS5 or Xbox Series disc with the Portal games on them, that’s not happening. Toss Bridge Constructor Portal in there too if you want (because that game rules) but at the very least, if a system CAN play Portal, it SHOULD play Portal. There needs to be a collection containing Portal and Portal 2 released at the launch of every game console in perpetuity. Its art style would look particularly nice all cleaned up for modern consoles. Given how well the PlayStation 1 Final Fantasy games fared on Switch, it’s completely insane that this one hasn’t gotten the same treatment. The game was put up on PSN in 2011, but that’s it. While nowhere near the success of the original in terms of long-term audience fondness, Chrono Cross is a fascinating game in its own right, and hasn’t had any kind of major re-release since its original launch in 2000. What’s worse though is its pseudo sequel Chrono Cross. And while yes, the Switch is the biggest offender, it should really just be on every console.

A full big-budget remake would be swell too, but just the basic game itself in its original form would be enough. The fact of the matter is, this game means the world to a LOT of Nintendo fans, and the fact that it isn’t available on Switch, even as a simple port, is criminal. It should be an enhanced version of the SNES original with the DS game’s features in it as well, but whatever. Naturally, this game should be put on as many platforms as humanly possible, and not the smoothed over newer versions either, the SNES original. But it’s currently the year 2021 and I still can’t go to the Switch eShop and purchase Chrono Trigger, and that’s absurd. It showed up on PlayStation, Nintendo DS, Wii Virtual Console, and was even made available on Steam in 2018. So here’s a handful of what seem like super obvious choices for ports that are strangely still sitting in limbo, waiting for some executive to flip a switch and make our dreams a reality.Ĭhrono Trigger is one of the most beloved games ever created, and it’s been ported many times over. Others leave you sitting around scratching your head wondering why? Why in the world have these games not been ported to modern platforms? Some of the most requested ports have fairly obvious problems standing in their way, like the rights issues in GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64. Of course, sometimes you wind up with a price tag you’re none too fond of, or maybe a feature has been changed or removed altogether, but the fact remains that playing your old games on your fancy new systems is generally considered a good thing.īut naturally, not all games have been ported around. Sure, original games are great, and they make up the bulk of what people love about playing video games, but replaying the games we remember in fancy new ways is something people love to do. The video game industry lives off of them.
