Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@bluemage1989 It would be superb wouldn't it, especially if it was to release within a few weeks of its reveal .It isn't the kind of game that needs to be revealed several months I'm advance. It's been such a long time since the last one and is on so much Nintendo fans wish lists that's it will be a guaranteed sure fire hit. Other than F-Zero what better way to get the majority of fan base on side for the online subscription than by giving them a game they've been long demanding. .

I would say it started when Kimishima took over. This is his vs Iwatas style of doing business.

@Therad It would happen sometimes with Iwata-era Nintendo. Super Mario 3D World was unveiled in June 2013 and hit shelves in November 2013.

While it could happen, it was more exception than rule.

In all fairness BotW was probably on track till they decided to do a Switch version. It was probably one of the hardest/easiest decision they had to make.

@Therad This is true.

I'm looking forward to E3 because there should be some good Switch games (1st party and 3rd party) unveiled then that will hit later this year. And there are the already announced Smash Bros. Switch and Fire Emblem Switch which will be unveiled then. And I hope both will hit later this year. Smash Bros. is but I just hope Fire Emblem isn't going to end up being delayed. They've been silent on it for over a year now.

Switch and PS4 are getting Disgaea 1 Complete it seems.

Time to see if NIS was right about Switch doing 2:1 sales.

Tropical Freeze is now on the NA eshop for preorder.

@Spoony_Tech In the end, considering how things turned out, I think Nintendo made the best possible decision regarding BotW. It gave the Switch that Day One killer app it needed to get the ball rolling in 2017, and the decision to also launch it simultaneously on Wii U kept them from burning bridges with people who only bought a Wii U for Zelda.

I can't imagine they'll launch their next console without a new Zelda game accompanying it.

Finally, Tropical Freeze for preload.

I'm betting South Park still isn't up on the eshop though, is it... or Naruto Trilogy.

I'm craving the Funk, my people. I need it. Need for speed? No. I'm feeling the spunk for the Funk. The original Funky monkey junky.

I swear they better have time trials for Funky Kong. This dude was made to dominate the jungle. Of course, 30 second video capture won't cut it. Sighhh. How hard would it be to up it to 3 min

I miss playing my Switch. With Dark Souls gone for the foreseeable future, I don't have anything to look forward to in the immediate future. Bummer.

@JaxonH You would be correct, still no South Park or Naruto.

@JaxonH @IceClimbers South Park and all 4 SKUs of Naruto on the UK eShop now...

@MisterPi Splatoon 2 DLC is soon, right? I'm looking forward to that one!

@Octane Tbh completely forgot about the DLC, but it should be fun!

@Octane July 13th according to an accidental early announcement.

@Grumblevolcano If that's true.

Probably, but still.

Went ahead and bought Wild Guns Reloaded from Walmart for like $6 more than MSRP.

Thanks for the heads up, whoever that was. Maybe more stock will come in later and it will be sold for less but I'd rather not take the chance over a few bucks. I didn't actually know the game was getting a physical release on the system until that post mentioned it so, thanks.

Isn't God of War supposed to release soon? I swear my copy should arrive at my doorstep one of these days. I need something to kill the time until DKC. And I'm not really in the mood to play anything I own. Idk why. Half the games I own I have never even played anyways.

Screw it, I'm going back to Fire Emblem Warriors. I've been really getting into this game lately. It's cheesy as heck with all the "whoops, misunderstanding, guess you'll have to fight me too" but even despite that, it's a really good game actually.

@JaxonH God of War launches April 20th, same day as Nintendo Labo in the US and Japan.

Which will sell more, GoW or Labo? I want to root for the underdog
