Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@MisterPi Metroid Prime 4 while a big game to showcase, won't be the big game reveal unless it's coming out this year. Which it isn't. That's not to say it won't be showcased, it just isn't the big reveal.

@BigBadJohn My prediction for the big E3 reveal will be the rumoured Ridge Racer 8 and Animal Crossing.

@FragRed Guess we'll see!

@BigBadJohn Mario Maker if we're getting a Mario Maker sequel or Animal Crossing if we're getting a Mario Maker Wii U port.

It looks like Activision aren't skimping on cartridge size with the Switch. Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy has no massive white "download required" box on the cover looking at the Amazon listing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crash-Bandicoot-Trilogy-Nintendo-Swi...

Now if only a certain other publisher could do the same cough Capcom cough Take2

@FragRed What's the file size on PS4?

@Grumblevolcano 23.36gb on the box

@Grumblevolcano Around 24GB, so a 32GB card if they don't do any optimising.

@Grumblevolcano I think it's 23.42GB. And baring in mind the PS4 has larger texture sizes than the Switch, I think it will be likely smaller file size.

Edit: @Octane Beat me to it

I just don't exist XD

@YummyHappyPills Oops sorry I did not see your reply. Kinda trying to look at multiple threads at once on the forum while making pre-orders and working on my own personal stuff. BTW where's your profile pic gone? It's not showing

@FragRed I'm wiping a lot of stuff. Someone on PushSquare has highlighted the fact they are a little...stalker-esque, replying to comments I have here on that site, saying I should delete the comments here, and calling me a troll based on "posts I made in the past".

Little creepy for someone with severe anxiety.

@YummyHappyPills That's kinda... worrying. If it continues, not sure if it's a case for getting mods involved or if they can do much about it

@FragRed Ha, like theyd do jack all XD They hate my ass.

Anyway just checked the eShop, no prices or file sizes yet but pages are up for Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Tennis, Dark Souls, Octopath Traveler and Crash.

Quick question about the my nintendo thing, when you clickon your profile for your nintendo account, there is this button named Nintendo shop, that takes to to a blank page. Is it supposed to show games I have bought on my Switch? If not where is it actually supposed to take me?

Edit: its just named Shop menu. Still just takes me to a blank page.
Not bought anything with that user, so if it just show digital purchases that could be why. Thou I think there should be some tect atleast.

Netflix not on Switch because video is ‘not a priority’ for Nintendo, says exec

And yet Hulu is there. I even want to say Hulu has been given a deal to be the only streaming app for a time.

Now the direct is over and I can look back I gotta say what a show!! My only disappointment is that Luigi's Mansion is not coming to Switch. Really gutted intact as it's a title I've wanted on Switch for so long.

@YummyHappyPills I am gonna be broke with buying Captain Toad again. LOVE THAT GAME and now it has new levels. Good thing I remember little about the puzzles as is. Almost like new to me! I will try the Dark Souls network test to see if it is a game I want to buy. But Crash Bandicoot I am so double dipping.

My main Direct disappointments were:

• The only game between Kirby and Tropical Freeze is Labo (even Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition and Mario Tennis Aces are after Tropical Freeze)
• Odyssey DLC not yet announced (the News section on Switch all but confirms it's happening but not what or when)
• Awakening DLC for FE Warriors not released straight after the Direct (surely it's happening before Japan gets Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition?)

Though that's mostly being picky, something like Odyssey DLC would've excited me more than Smash given Smash is still around 6 months away from launch.

@bluemage1989
I think they're laying groundwork for Luigi's Mansion 3 on Switch.

I'd be shocked if we did not get Luigi's Mansion 3 on Switch this generation, given the last entry sold nearly 6 million copies just physically, not even counting digital.
