Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

So is Snipperclips physical in NA or just EU or... tell me where I need to start looking to pre-order!

And I sincerely hope people go out and support Bethesda. After all the complaints about wanting third party games on Wii U and now Switch, this is make or break. You don't get much better third-party support than this and you don't get it on a much better system than Switch. This is how we get a flood of AAA games on the system. If these games sell well and everyone goes out and buys them we are going to get flooded with games. Think about that. If these games sell really well we are going to get absolutely flooded with AAA ports.

If that sounds like something that interests you, I think these 3 Bethesda games (and FIFA, NBA 2k, WWE 2k and LA Noire as well) are the most important purchases fans will make for years to come. This is how we get flooded with AAA games. This is our chance.

Well the voice chat just became a whole heck of a lot less archaic with the recent update.

Basically it works fine now. It's on a phone app but it works fine and there's no longer any niggling issues to prevent people from using it. I think it would be more than sufficient for a game like Overwatch. But doesn't mean I think it's coming but I certainly don't think the voice chat will be the thing to prevent it.

Youll only hear voice in the app. Where'd all the game sounds and music go???

Looking at the prince of Mario Bros. arcade, I guess Nintendo's not going to adjust their pricing come when the Virtual Console does launch, if it does. Not to mention if they're adding features like online multiplayer maybe more, that'll probably effect the pricing more.

Welp, better hope they don't forget us Wii U/3DS VC Supporters....

I think Hamster set the price for Mario Bros., since it costs the same as the NeoGeo and other Arcade Archives games and is being branded as part of Hamster's Arcade Archives.

Where u guys seeing the price already?

So who else is going to have to sell a kidney? Nintendo is not letting up with the games. At this point there is literally something for everyone to play with no end in sight. I remember a couple of buddies complaining about the lack of FPS games (not 3PS like splatoon 2) and I just said Doom Switch to them today and they are like ...".so how much is a switch?" Now I think I can start hoping for more more long shot games. Nintendo keeps this up and I'm going back to being a PC/Nintendo only gamer. My Xbone collection is pitiful enough that I know after crackdown 3 I'm done with them. Plus the ports are starting to eat into my Sony collection (about to offload DQ builders now, already sold Xonic). The arcade fangirl within has already been flipping over the NEO Geo Support and now Nintendo Arcade games? Stuff that I never got to play in person?! faints If Hamster wants to get some other arcade games (like Xmen...Marvel likes money doooo it) I will not be angry.

The best part is there are still so many games that Nintendo hasn't been able to loop back to (DQ XI, Monopoly, Steep) so I'm certain they will pad out the early months of 2018 while more support pours in. The only thing I need now is some add on to play 3ds games on the switch or tv and I'm set for the next decade really. Well that and for capcom to offload more fighting games on the system. Ultra 4, third strike, alpha anthology, TVC or sequel and MVC 2, 3 and I and I'm done. What a fantastic time to be a gamer!

Sega....I "demand" Virtua Fighter 6...you "owe" me this one. I hate sonic and I still bought a number of his games to pad out my library.

Very nice Direct. DOOM, Splatoon 2 stuff, and Buff Dedede.

What a time to be alive.

Might have to sell some plasma but idk about a kidney yet.... not sure about Doom yet.. its gonna be missong map editor. That alone should make the game not full price. $39.99 max it should be priced.

Speaking of Sonic, they barely showed it and it looked bad and junky.

My day 1 buy-list for the rest of the year

09.21. Thimbleweed Park (is going to be my first Switch eShop game)
10.10. Sine Mora EX (pre-ordered a month ago when it was supposed to release)
10.27. Super Mario Odyssey
11.14. L.A. Noire
11.17. Skyrim
12.01. Xenoblade Chronicles 2
12.24. DOOM

I'm excited about many more Switch titles that are coming out in 2017, and I might squeeze one or two other games in if I have the time and money.

I don't have nearly enough money for all the games I want now. Which is fine, considering I'm committed to not having a backlog of any kind on Nintendo Switch and am trying to work on the massive backlog I've accumulated on other systems.

DOOM will likely be one of the first "big" games I buy next year. FE:W is definitely a lock now that it's getting characters I actually want (there are other characters besides Lyn that I'd like to see, but she was my "make or break" inclusion), but it's lower on my list than DOOM, Wolfenstein II, Skyrim, and a small army of digital-only indies.

Xenoblade 2 looks pretty good, but considering I just started XCX, I'll probably wait until late 2018 to nab it.

@Ryu_Niiyama Heh. You were smart to buy physical copies of your Playstation games. I deeply regret buying a digital copy of RE Revelations 2 on PS4 that I can't "offload" now. :/

No more third party multiplats on other platforms from this point forward. If the Switch can get DOOM and Wolfenstein II, it can get anything.

DOOM is so tempting even though i offloaded that game a year ago. No level editor at a $60 price is a deal breaker for me ...

@Ralizah Honestly the main third party titles I want that are coming to PS4 but not the Switch as of right now are South Park Fractured But Whole and Dragon Ball FighterZ. I think both of those have a chance at coming eventually.

It kinda feels like hell froze over. People are seriously shocked. This Direct was a huge shakeup. And people needed it. Slapped some reality back into play. Can Doom run on Switch? HECK YES IT CAN. AND LOOKS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE PS4!

If that can happen, if Wolfenstein 2 can happen... anything can happen. I think tonight will be looked back upon as the turning point where devs starting going all in on Switch. Seeing this level of confidence from Bethesda will only inspire further confidence from others. And from gamers. I imagine quite a few people who are undecided will have made up their minds tonight that they are going to buy a Switch.

@IceClimbers
Pretty sure Dragon Ball Fighter Z is on lock. They made it sound like they were gonna bring it but didn't want to say anything til after DB Xenoverse 2. I have a feeling, especially now with Switch hype at a fever pitch and articles dropping left and right about games selling more than all other versions combined and even BN stating DBX2 has been a big hit... it would be pretty amazing if DBFZ didn't come.

I feel like Doom won't go any higher than 720p when docked, but if that footage they showed is what the game will actually look like, it still looks really good. Definitely shows the Switch is more powerful than anyone gave it credit for.

@Ralizah Well to be honest I detest trading in games (I feel it is a waste of money) but, the local retro shop has deemed me one of their best customers so I can offload something and then be given a few discounts to stack which makes it worth it. However I just am at a point that I don't want a collection anymore. If I'm not going to play it I'd rather send it out to the wild where someone else will. I don't need two copies of the Nonary Games or DQ Builders. I've also stopped buying games that are popular for "gamer cred". At this point if I'm not taken at face value to be a gamer I don't care anymore.

I'm impressed with your commitment to no backlog. Honestly I'm going to temporarily exit the market next year just to do that (and to redo my AV setup which is not going to be cheap...plus new taiko and a telescope) but with all this stuff that is packed into this year I know I'm going to be crying bitter tears by march of next year. But hopefully by 2019 I will have cleared out a significant chunk of my backlog. Fingers crossed.

Getting my 256GB sd card next week. Doom, fifa, maybe 2k basketball, WWE 2k, Mario Odyssey, hollow, and la noire this year is going to be crazy.

DOOM kinda looks a little faded the more I watch the 20 second clip of it. Not worth a $60 price since no map editor and it's almost 2 year old game.

@Samus7Killer Mario Bros. is in the coming soon tab of the eShop in the UK. Its listed as £6.29 (Or 7 bucks in Murica moneys)

Oh thx. Might be interested in VS Mario

Highlights for me were
1)Xenoblade2 looking lovely.
2)Doom announcement.
3)Tate mode arcade Punchout. (Seriously...WHAAAAT???)
