Switch ha davvero bisogno di icone di profili di terze parti – Ecco le nostre scelte migliori
With that in mind, abbiamo compilato una selezione di icone che riteniamo meritino un posto nelle missioni di Nintendo Switch Online & Sezione premi. Ora, questo non sarà esaustivo, and there absolutely will be some games or franchises missing that you’d love to see represented, but hey, that’s what the comments section is for.
So let’s get started with the obvious one…
SEGA
Diciamo la verità, one of the franchises we’d most like to see represented with some icons is Sonic il riccio. We’ve got the ‘core four’ sotto, but there are so many other characters you could include, like Robotnik, Shadow, Chao, Trip… all sorts!
The same goes for the Persona franchising. Those characters have become some of the most cherished in RPG history, and we reckon they’d look wonderful with a block colour background representing their respective games.
Capcom
Capcom has a long history with Nintendo. Gli Mega Man franchise is arguably one of the most beloved on the NES, and Shinji Mikami’s exceptional work on Cattivo Ospite for the GameCube resulted in two of the best games in the franchise (REmake e RE4, naturalmente). Not to mention fan favourites such as Viewtiful Joe e combattente di strada.
Konami
Konami’s reputation has taken a bit of a beating in recent years, but there’s no denying that it owns some of the most recognisable and iconic gaming franchises of all time. Metal Gear Solid e Castlevania solo (both of which now enjoy significant representation on Switch thanks to those collections) have enjoyed significant crossovers with Nintendo properties in the past; most notably the Super Smash Bros. franchising.
Square Enix
Final Fantasy needs no introduction. Heck, Dragon Quest, Crono trigger, oppure Kingdom Hearts non fare, for that matter. Much like Persona, Square Enix’s catalogue of JRPGs plays host to a smorgasbord of characters that could be utilised for profile icons. The sky’s the limit with this publisher, as far as we’re concerned.
Indie
Indie games have found a great home with the Switch, and we’d argue that Nintendo’s console bears a great deal of responsibility in ensuring the success of a few of the titles represented here. Balatro immediately comes to mind: it was certainly making waves before its release on Switch, but we reckon it plays best on Switch thanks to the touchscreen controls and portability. Più, who doesn’t love that cheeky little joker?
Misc.
Infine, here’s the best of the rest. O some of the best, almeno. We could have sections dedicated to pretty much every major publisher on Switch, but frankly, we don’t have the time for such shenanigans. So these are just a few that we think have made a few waves on Nintendo’s platform over the years. Lo stregone III was obviously a huge port for the console, and the recent Tomb Raider collection from Aspyr was a welcome return for such classic games.
Those are just a small selection of some of the third-party icons we’d love to see on Nintendo Switch Online. Do you agree with our choices? Are there some franchises missing here that you think absolutely need to be represented? Leave a comment down below and let us know.
