Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

A great deal? You got evidence of that? Well, if they do, as I said, I don't notice - if it's a thing at all then it's a very minor one, IMO. And once the film is on, it's not like you're going to be alternating much, so you'll get used to any distortion in no time. After inexplicably getting a minor scratch on my Wii U gamepad, they're a no brainer, and I've always used them on my phones and N3DS with no issues, and more importantly, no scratches.

Yup, I always use screen protectors too. They're great, take them off after a year, put on a new one and your device looks brand new again.

@gcunit Well, I see it. And it's not minor at all, though I'm very aware of stuff I see as I'm a designer by profession lol.

A scratch on your screen is horrible, I agree. I've yet to find one that doesn't negatively impact heat dissipation, display wear because of that, and obviously the visuals.

I'll use a screen protector too - I don't notice the color distorsion and I prefer to have than to lament the possibility of getting a scratch in the future.

An upbeat reel of confirmed Switch games:

Saw the video to the end, counted 18 I'd definitively would like to get and at least 5 more that could be a "maybe".
This is great to me, at least.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, they were talking about FE: Switch, which is confirmed, but showing Fates to show something and not a blank image.

Its better than the countless "Heres the list of games that arent coming!" videos. Sadly most of those are due to bad timing as dev teams wrap up and the others no one expected or asked for.

And regarding everyone saying Borderlands 3 should be there, remember its Randy Pitchford who said that...and his track record of verbal diarrhea.

@Luna_110 Yeh, as much as many of the announced games have underwhelmed me, the following games do excite me having watched that and knowing that I'm now getting a Switch:

• ARMS - will buy if reviews/plays well (please let there be a demo on the eshop)
• Stardew Valley - looks ideal for a portable, will buy if price is reasonable (current Humble Bundle appearance relevant here)
• Bomberman - looks good graphically
• Fire Emblem Warriors - will buy at some point, but need to play at least one main series game first, me thinks (I have Awakening and Fates unopened)
• Dragonball Xenoverse - price dependent
• Dragon Quest Heroes (and maybe X and XI, but backlog)
• Skyrim - want to support this, so will buy if priced competitively
• FIFA 18 - will buy if EA don't let us down and price is right
• BotW - obvs - bought
• Sonic 2017
• Project Octopath
• Rime
• Steep
• Snake Pass
• Super Mario Odyssey - obvs -
• Tales
• Ultimate Street Fighter 2
  Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Plus MK8D and Splatoon 2 will be hard to resist.

Also, that video doesn't show Hollow Knight, which I will definitely get if it plays as good as it looks.

I think Switch is going to put my PS4 out to pasture beyond Ratchet and Clank. Its not pulling me in the way PSone and PS2 and even PS3 by this point in its life did, nowhere close.

I was saying Ill get Sonic 2017 and Mania and Puyo Puyo on PS4 but Id rather have them on a system Ill be using more anyway, because there is more on the plate to entice me into Switch.

Poor PS4. I really want to love you but...I cant.

Did anyone go to the Switch Event last weekend? I've got tickets for the Manchester event on Saturday and wondering whether it's worth going or if I should just wait for launch.

@BiasedSonyFan Yeh, and if Switch does well, don't be surprised if a few of those 'missing' games don't ultimately find their way across anyway.

@Mellor2000 Are you getting a Switch anyway? If you are, I wouldn't bother, and give the tickets to someone on the fence.

Definitely recommend Stardew Valley for anyone who likes games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon, or farming games in general. Super fun game, and it would be a great game for portable gaming if you're into that.

@gcunit To be honest the main thing I'm worried about is missing out on any freebies.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is coming to Console!

"We are proud and super excited to officially announce that Ultimate Chicken Horse will be coming to XboxOne, PS4 and Nintendo Switch! We are aiming to launch during the Summer of 2017."

Nice how Switch gets central billing in the frame, both within the animation and the logos at the end.

Just didn't want to write it from myself And in the last video there are really a lot of titles that i'll pick, and that i'm not only interested in. The Switch will be the definitive system to me!

By the way, it's not that important but if anyone didn't notice i'll just put this right here: Nintendo said that "Nintendo Switch online service" details will be released after Switch launch. So, if there will be, don't expect any info in a pre-launch Direct. I found this on the "online service" Switch page on Nintendo website.

@FGPackers

You lazy, lazy gamer XD

I didn't notice that bit about the online service. Guess that kills any expectation for a pre launch direct about the eshop and VC.

@BLP_Software I've got tonnes of games on PS4 that I buy during the PSN sales, through Amazon or ShopTo. But I buy cheap. Nintendo games I buy on launch because I trust their quality. And I prefer their stuff.
