Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Ill just download a complete rom of SF2 when they're avail. Raz pie it or itll hit nintendont.

Are we really defending SFZ? I only finished it because I had to. It was a struggle from beginning till end, and I didn't enjoy it at all.

So, about the BLADE report. Is it important enough to XCX's functionality that I should prioritize playing through XCX over Switch games like Mario + Rabbids so I fully experience the game before Miiverse dies?

@Octane people got mad cause i enjoyed it.
damn sad about that MiiVerse death. that sux cause some games utilize it. @Grumblevolcano I say yes play through XCX first.

Annnnd.... what about those that enjoyed the game?

@Vee_Flames I'm sure there are people who enjoy Superman 64 too

I liked Star Fox Zero because of the controls. It was a legitimately fresh and exciting experience. With traditional controls it would have just been a rather basic Star Fox game with not a lot of content.

I think many long-time gamers expect to be able to pick up a new game and handle the controls perfectly right away. But sometimes, learning to fly is part of the fun.

@Zyrac Always felt most people over-exaggerate the complexity of the dual-perspective. There are only a handful of points where flying and shooting in different directions is really required; one of which is the first boss, to be fair, but it's generally easy enough otherwise. For the most part, you can get through the game focusing mainly on one of the two screens, and making only minute adjustments with gyro aiming, especially in on-rails. It's when you want to set records that really demands dexterity, and it truly allows all-range segments to be much more open and bearable than 64's cluttered messes.

The Switch eShop has a glaring fault.

So I got to the confirm purchase screen for Mario + Rabbids.

I had to go back a page believing to have entered something incorrectly.

Turns out the money left my account before I confirmed the purchase, so Im down £49.99 without a game to play. I've paid according to my bank but not my console.

@BLP_Software Even if you exit the eShop and go back?

@Octane Not in my redownload list. Still shows as Purchase for £49.99

@BLP_Software Contact Nintendo in that case... Haven't heard the best things about their UK customer support, so good luck. If you can get a receipt of your transaction, that helps I think. But since the transaction is made from your Nintendo Account, it should be easy to track down.

@Octane I didnt get the added funds email receipt. Thats sent upon confirmation.

They took the money prior.

I have contacted them. Id order a chargeback but then Im concerned they will do what Sony does and lock the software afterwards.

The money just reappeared in my account. Maybe my bank caught it, or Nintendo? Who knows.

But that is a glaring issue with Switch digital purchases...

@BLP_Software That is worrying to hear, I'm glad to stick to primarily physical purchases.

Just another reason to buy games physically...

Some perspective please. How many times has this happened in 6 months, worldwide?

What time period are we talking about between it happening and it resolving?

@BLP_Software As far as I'm aware you can cancel any purchase on PS4 within 14 days, provided you haven't downloaded the game yet. I think you're thinking of No Man's Sky, but that was an exception.

@gcunit Took an hour to resolve.

But I don't know how often it happens, but frankly, the money shouldn't leave your bank before you confirm the purchase!

@BLP_Software While it shouldn't have happened in the first place the money won't have actually left your account, even though your statement will show otherwise.It will have just been held by the bank and then rejected on Nintendo's side when the system detects the sale hasn't gone through and then returned to your account.
