Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Anti-Matter, before you get rid of your PS4 why won't you try titles like Tearaway Unfolded, Gravity Rush, Ratchet & Clank, Knack, the Tales series (there is one also on Switch, but PS4 currently has a couple more), Everybody's Golf, and the Last Guardian?

As far as I can tell, these titles seem fit your tastes (all E or T rated, cartoony or anime art direction, and in terms of "bad" content they have nothing worse than Final Fantasy X or Metroid Prime: Federation Force, both of which I know you like) but you're not interested in any of them?

@RR529
Let me check.
Tearaway = Nah... Too blocky like Minecraft 😐
Gravity Rush = Still not interested at all 😐
Ratchet & Clank = I have sold the game after 2 hours gameplay since 2 years ago, i didn't find any interesting from 3rd person view "shooting" 3D platformer like that. 😑
Tales series = Zero interest.... 😐
Everybody's Golf = Looked interesting but i'm bad at playing golf video games so i don't think i can enjoy the game. 😣
The Last Guardian = Zero interest... 😑

Btw, i have Double, Triple, so many times checking those titles from playasia but still... Not interested.

The only games i have very strong interest on PS4 = Portal Knights (despite i have the Switch version as well but the PS4 version still far superior than Switch due to Rainbow Island and DLCs), The Sims 4 (Still my main hostage, i will drop my support with PS4 once this game also on Nintendo Switch with same contents as PS4 version), Dragon Quest Builders 2 (Also on Nintendo Switch but with 30fps, however i can just consider the Switch version only if i changed my mind)

@Anti-Matter If Minecraft looked like this, I'd buy it in a heartbeat:

@ReaderRagfish

"PS Vita- A bit of screen burn in but otherwise perfectly functional"
So I guess you have the first model of the Vita? With the OLED screen?

I read far and wide before investing in Vita and I found that the LCD and the 1 GB internal memory (for saves obviously) gave the edge to the "plastic" model. Even if the colors are not a vivid as the OLED screen.

FIFA 20 on Switch will be a 'legacy' edition apparently. See you next Tuesday, EA.

EA is one of the stupidest companies I’ve ever seen, and there is a lot of stupidity to go around nowadays so that’s really saying something.

But, I just stopped caring. Let them do whatever they’re gonna do. As nice as it would be to have every game in existence on a hybrid, it’s probably never going to happen unless mobile tech sees a breakthrough and can match home console architecture, which is where the focus will always lie.

Just give me my exclusives, give me a fat handful of the classics ported over (doesn’t have to be all of them or even close to the majority- just enough to keep me busy in between the exclusives). Anything else that doesn’t come over I feel I absolutely cannot miss, I can always play on the TV.

So the heck with EA. Support the system, don’t support it... it doesn’t really matter at this point. Give me my Fire Emblem, Astral Chain, Mario Maker 2, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Zelda Links Awakening, Town, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Daemon X Machina, toss in some quality 3rd party titles like Dragon Quest XI S, DQ Builders 2, DOOM Eternal, Wolfenstein Youngblood, God Eater 3, Darksiders 2, Darksiders Genesis, Sniper Elite 3, the aforementioned leaked titles... that’s more than enough to keep me satisfied the remainder of this year (and probably most of next year as well tbh).

I do think I’m gonna pick up an Occulus Quest for Sports Scramble though. I’d written off VR since it’s such a hassle to set up and use every time, but Quest is like the Switch of VR. 100% wireless and mobile without any sensor bars required, and Sports Scramble is the Wii Sports game I’ve been waiting on. It has my bowling. Will probably give away my PSVR to my mom/dad for Christmas. Maybe they can get some use from it.

edit
Secret of Mana Collection leaked for Switch. No big surprise there, but still nice to hear.

The only thing that EA has announced for Switch so far.

Is Nintendo Life going to stream the Super Mario Maker 2 tournament?

That was leaked about a week ago....

@GrailUK I hope so. @ryancraddock is this happening or not?

I don't know where the myth of "Devs will leave all the underpowered consoles/handhelds once the next gen consoles arrive". It didn't happen with the GB, DS, PSP, 3DS, and Vita and the transition from the last gen. of consoles to the new gen. is never that seamless, especially with Japanese devs. Anyone remember Sonic Unleashed for PS2, MGSV for PS3 and XB360, Persona 5 for PS3, etc.?

The next gen games that won’t be able to run on Switch already can’t run on Switch. So there’s not really going to be any loss there. And 7th gen ports to a newer system won’t hinder their ability to be ported to Switch also, so there’s not really going to be any loss there either. Not to mention, new consoles won’t be out til Holiday 2020 anyways, and most games will be cross generational for 2 years after release at that, putting us at holiday 2022 going into 2023. And by that point, Switch will be 6 years old, tailing the end of its lifespan with the last hurrah of games that have been in development for 3-5 years.

So ya. It’s not an issue.

@BruceCM
It wasn’t actually leaked a week ago, it was just trademarked a week ago, strongly implying a possible release, though no platforms were specified (hence why I said no big surprise)

@Matthew010 I'm never sure how to contact staff lol.

@GrailUK Tagging Ryan usually works.

@Matthew010 Hope so...it starts in 10 mins!

Well, that answers that.... I'm not expecting any new Switch variations this year myself, though

@Luna_110 feels like I have the same issue. What's the fix you've found? At this point I'm seriously considering to open it up and try to fix it myself. If it won't work, I'll buy a new one in a store where I can test it first.

EA support for the Switch has gone from a small puddle to evaporation XD

And the DF look at Octopath on Switch is....very odd. They mention Yoshi as an upcoming title, and also paint the Switch release as if the PC one came first, as the "Switch is downgraded from this PC release".

They also make it sound like the PC version is the only one worth playing.

Then again, they aren't too wise. They made a PC for DOOM and said it wouldn't work as well as it did, good for experiments but should have known it wasn't going to be accurate.

This E3 is probably going to be rough for the Switch. This is the year these companies show their support, this is the peak of it now.
