I'm sure you're really fun at parties

If you don't watch it, it's just their money and time.

@kkslider5552000 I don't go to parties. I don't leave the house much.

Devolver Digital's conference will probably be better than Microsoft's

@Grumblevolcano It'll be shorter at least.

@Grumblevolcano One word; Cyberpunk 2077.

according to Nintendo UK, Mario Tennis Aces is about 2gb.

Nintendo's magic compression back at it again. That's pretty damn sweet.

ARMS was 2 GB as well, wasn't it? Good that these games can keep such a low file size.

To be fair it's a few character models, a few stages. I'd really wonder what could take up signfiicantly more than 2 GB in these games.

Still, great news as the microSD gets full...

Sushi Striker is available to pre-load and comes in at 2.7GB

In both cases, it might have to do with the animated cutscenes they both have. Who knows?

I can't wait for Devolver Digital E3 conference: Nintendo NX Game of the Year Edition.

Devolver Digital's conference last year was just one giant parody. And I absolutely loved it for that. Absolute perfection.

I enjoyed playing Black Ops II on my Wii U so, I am mildly disappointed with this:

There are no plans for Black Ops IIII on the Switch

Twinfinite recently sat down with Yale Miller, senior producer at Treyarch, and Matt Scronce, gameplay designer at Treyarch, for a roundtable interview. We ended the interview by asking “Are there any plans to bring any aspect of Black Ops 4 to Nintendo Switch?”

Miller’s response to this was quick and brief, with him simply saying without hesitation “No, there is not.”

@Peek-a-boo We knew this already.

Well, we didnt KNOW, but it was so heavily obvious that the big games either wont run or they wont bother regardless of sales.

Well, a loss is a loss and doesn't really help matters regarding third-party support. But I find it hard to care when it's Call of Duty, which I have no interest in.

CoD has gone downhill anyways IMO. Black Ops 2 was the last one I even remotely enjoyed.

With no single player, I can't even muster up a passing interest to pick this one up years later. Hopefully this one sinks like it rightfully should if they can't even bother with that much.

Really bad news: It seems Best Buy will be ending the GCU program.

@Peek-a-boo
I was really looking forward to Call of Duty BO4 on Switch. The last portable CoD failed miserably with BO2 Declassified on Vita. Absolute trainwreck. I saw this as an opportunity to right that wrong, and provide another quality FPS with motion on a portable system.

Then they announced there's no single player campaign... And that's when I stopped caring.

The advantage to a Switch version of any multiplat is portability, motion controls and local MP. But the big one is portability. And online-only games completely bork that advantage. It could still probably do reasonably well (far better than Wii or Wii U, at least) but I don't think too many Switch owners are looking for online-only games. Maybe some of them but, I think games like that are simply better on PS4, X1 or PC. And I say that as someone who prefers just about every other kind of multiplat on Switch.

We'll see how Crazy Justice does when it releases. It looks like a quality game, has motion controls, and fills a genre not currently offered on Switch. Should be a good bellwether for other online-only competitive MP games.
