Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Danganronpa would be AMAZING to have on the Switch. Too bad I've already purchased V3, but I'd absolutely buy any subsequent games going forward on the system.

Well it seems on Amazon UK at least that buying Nintendo Labo and Shadow of the Colossus at the same time is a popular choice so maybe you have PS4 owners wanting to buy a Switch because of Labo.

I don't think so. Labo+Switch would be too much expensive for new customers that were not already interested in Nintendo consoles. And there are already many different toys made with materials like cardboard or wood or things like that. Labo will probably be a good investment for people that alreeady have a Switch and have young children and maybe are really into Nintendo or at least gaming in general and like to see their children play with the same things that they are passionate about as much as possible so Labo will be just another excuse to do so.

Nekopara coming to PS4, Switch

Nekopara is coming to PlayStation 4 and Switch in Q2 and Q3 2018 in Japan, developer Neko Works announced at Taipei Game Show 2018. The comedic visual novel sees the protagonist open a Japanese confectionery alongside two cat girls. It is currently available on PC in English across four volumes.

Labo+Switch would be too much expensive for new customers that were not already interested in Nintendo consoles

Gonna disagree. LABO + Switch is no more expensive than Zelda + Switch or Mario + Switch. A console sells over multiple years by constantly making new people interested in it via different games. This is one of them. Some people were interested because Zelda. Some were interested because Splatoon. Some were interested because Mario. And likewise, some will be interested because LABO.

Anyone who deems it too expensive isn't a potential customer of video games in the first place.

All games sell consoles. But only a few are so high profile it makes a difference in the sales charts. Labo won't sell switches on its own, it isn't like super Mario, Mario kart, Zelda or Pokemon in that regard.

But labo might be a good complement for switch owners with kids instead of buying other toys. The price isn't that bad compared with other toys such as Lego.

And no, God of war won't destroy labo. There is basically no overlap in the audiences for those games.

Wii Fit sold Wii consoles though and the combined price of the Wii and Wii Fit was more than Switch + Labo back then.

Okay, there was some trailer for it (Direct Mini maybe? Don't feel like rewatching that, lol), what was that rhythm dungeon crawling game that was recently shown for the Switch? Any music/rhythm game that allows you to use your own MP3s automatically interests me. I haven't played many of those since Audiosurf, though.

@Joeynator3000 Crypt of the Necrodancer. It looks crazy and it shouldn't work but apparently it does and it's amazing.

@Grumblevolcano Where did you buy your Wii package? Wii was £170 or less when I bought it (admittedly not at launch), and Wii Fit with balance board was only £80.

Didn't know you could integrate your own tunes on this - will that be the same for Switch version?

Yup, that's it, coolz. xp
So this is an actual new game right? (and it is coming to the Switch, I'm starting to think I saw it elsewhere, lol)

@Joeynator3000 Well, it's been on Steam a while...

Ok yeah there's a Switch version, I'm not going crazy, lol

I really hope this is still a thing, I figured they would take that "Use your own MP3s" part out for the Switch announcement. Then again other games that normally let you import (Worms, for example) usually removes the feature for consoles. T.T

@AnimeGamerFan Nice. What games you getting??

In the description for the Switch version on Gamefaq's it says it will be possible. I don't know if that's just been copied from the Steam version though.

"Groove with the game's epic dance soundtrack, or select songs from your own MP3 collection! You can even play with a dance pad to really shake your bones!"

Also according to Gamefaq's it will release in Japan on the 02/01/2018. I'm assuming they use the US date format on that website. The 1st of February is the date of the next download update so it's possible.I just just had a look on the Japanese Eshop but it's not on there yet. The coming soon section on our own Eshop doesn't look like it's complete yet and more titles are usually added on a Monday so there's still a chance it's coming this week.

Before Enter the Gungeon I hadn't played a Rogue-like before but I absolutely love that game so I'm definitely interested in trying more games in the genre .The PC version of Crypt of the Necromancer has 87% from 44 reviews on Metacritic, so it's obviously a quality game. On PS4 it has 85% but from far less reviews. I read the Switch version will have an exclusive character.

Yeah hopefully it keeps the MP3 feature...

I need Dragon Quest Builders to hurry up and release. I'm jonesing for some Dragon Quest on Switch. And I never really played it more than an hour or two so, it'll be brand new for the most part.

But it's gonna stay relegated to being played when I'm not home. Cause I'll have MH tying me up til the end of Feb, and Ni No Kuni and Shadow of the Colossus afterwards. I swear, a Switch and a PS4 has you covered 24/7. Non stop round the clock releases, no mercy, no break in between, just endless onslaught.

On the quantity front, I'd say Switch alone is enough. Needing PS4/XB1 is more for if you're looking for a specific game/genre like Monster Hunter, FPS, realistic racing/sports, etc.
