Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@YummyHappyPills then they have installs on the hard drive plus all the patches on day 1 to make it work that take up 100GB on a 500GB Hard drive and that is a HDD not an SSD so it is slower they will hit a point will the games get too big for one system and to slow to do 4k 60fps or 8k 60fps

@andrew20 If you're going to be getting large games that require you to download extra data or have any interest in digital offerings at all, I'd say you should nab a 128GB card when it goes on sale from a reliable brand like Sandisk. Regarding speed, 80MB/s should be sufficient.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 are up on the UK eShop coming soon section. Both £11.99 like on PS4.

SF Anniversary is also there for pre-order. Apparently on the US eShop it uses a PS4 screenshot...

I hope Nintendo offers Wii U online subscription rather than just pulling the plug.

How many people still want to play online on Wii U?

And of those that do, how many would actually be willing to pay for it on a legacy console?

I'd say modding is the best bet for Wii U online at this point. Despite all the negatives and downsides, keeping online games alive with custom servers is a huge benefit. I need to follow through on fully hacking my Wii U one of these days. As of now I only bothered with the vWii mode for GameCube. If they pull online, I'll probably finish the job. You can still play games like Tatsunoko vs Capcom online on the Wii thanks to efforts of fans.

@JaxonH I haven't personally for a while, but I definitely want Mario Maker and Smash U to be online for a while yet. Sure, if the community can set up alternative servers, then fine.

This shows how much Capcom cares about the Switch.

@MsJubilee It also shows how much Nintendo doesn't check what publishers are putting up on the eShop in terms of screenshots for games.

@YummyHappyPills
Capcom can use PS4 version to promote Street Fighter 30th Anniversary on Switch e-shop, But i will buy the Switch version. Never care the PS4 version.

I'm still not convinced the cost is any more significant than it was on 3DS, Vita, DS and GBA. These aren't N64 cartridge tier cost disincentives

It's not so much about the screenshot as a whole as it is about the wrong button inputs being displayed.
That shouldn't ever happen.

But cart cost is higher than 3DS, Vita, DS and GBA.

Those systems weren't using 8 and 16gb cartridges on a regular basis. They were using 1-4gb cartridges, and far less for DS and GBA. Switch is running full current gen home console games. So it follows that the sizes for those games are much larger on average than previous handhelds used.

So any game exceeding 4gb carts likely run the risk of costing more than they want to pay (and even at 1-4gb costs significantly more than a disc). Notice that, for $20 games Capcom tends to package a download or only offer download (Mega Man Legacy 1/2, Mega Man X Collection 1/2, Okami HD) but for $40 and higher games they don't (Street Fighter Collection, USFII, MHXX). RE Revelations did so simply because the total file size was nearly 40gb, so that's an exception.

@FragRed That's true. Just looked at the Eshop page for Super Chariot and it has a PS4 screenshot as well. Is Nintendo even double checking these pages?

Ladies and Gentlemen the reason Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was made and released at full price:

But..but...no one buys Wii U ports. If they wanted it they got it on Wii U...but...muh logic....

@JaxonH I remember when Capcom wanted to charge $50 for Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS initially because it used a 4 GB card lol.

@YummyHappyPills Could they have.......Gasp.......been wrong?

Who knew a popular console would sell more copies of a game than a console that was bought by relatively no one

there we go!
now let's just hope they announced Animal Crossing, and new IPs!
