Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Frosty_09 Ah, okay. That makes sense.
To be fair, though... the straps on the right Joy Con are now pretty easy to remove. I'm still not going to them, though. Never liked them that much, anyway.

I don't know if this is bad or has the potential to be good...don't know what to think...

Meanwhile Dragon Quest X is confirmed for a September release in Japan.

So Splatoon 2 in July, Monster Hunter in August and Dragon Quest in September? RIP Japanese stock.

@Frosty_09 Boy, that comment sounds ominous.

inb4 we find out the Switch version of the game is based on the 3DS build instead of the PS4 one.

Phantom Trigger Switch Announcement Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGaI9GSINTk

Phantom Trigger is a hardcore neon slasher coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam this summer. Other platform announcements will follow. Download the Alpha right now (for PC) — http://PhantomTrigger.com

It's a bit hard to see what's going on in that game.Still it's nice of them to announce it on a Saturday.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Looks decent. I'll keep an eye on the reviews when it releases.

I've decided to put my FC in my sig, I'm still not gonna add every single one...so if I don't add you then oh well. (don't keep spamming requests at me though...)
I've tried adding every single person before and...it was too much. lol

@Joeynator3000 At least the Switch makes it easier. I didn't even need your code to request you.

@Spoony_Tech I still haven't figured that out. All I see is an option to search by Friend Code, and by players seen online.

@Nicolaison For some reason, the "recommended" option only works via linkage to Nintendo's mobile games. It'd be nice if it could just show Facebook/Twitter friends with their account linked to a Switch, but nope.

You have to link your account to Facebook and Twitter, it also looks at Miitomo and Mario Run as well.
EDIT: Wait, it doesn't work with FB/Twitter, thought it did. >.>

"Wii U will have no friend codes, we're finally getting rid of them for good!"
brings them back in the system's successor

@DarthNocturnal No, Nintendo ditched that which they introduced with Wii U to go back to friend codes. Maybe they'll bring it back when the paid online service is made available.

@Grumblevolcano
Idk why they're so dead set against doing things the easy way. At least it's just a minor blip on the inconvenience scale.

I'm just waiting for them to actually start updating the system instead of all this freaking stability. More user avatars (heck even paid ones, I'll spend a fortune), themes, remote power off, etc.

Highly doubt it, lol

Has anyone else had the problem playing Neo Geo games that you show as offline and it doesn't recognise you've played more than a few minutes?

If I play another game I'm showing as online, as soon as I switch to King Of Fighters or Metal Slug 3 I can play half an hour and it will then the say I've been offline 30 mins.

On the parental controls app I've played over 15 and 5 hours of each game respectively.

No one on my friends list ever shows a playtime of more than a few minutes for Neo Geo games either. At first I thought it was because they aren't games that people are likely to play for that long, more in short bursts so play time may take a while to build up.

Has anyone else here have the same issue, or any suggestions?

@Ryu_Niiyama have you had the same issue?

Square Enix Can’t Talk About Nintendo Switch Version of Dragon Quest XI Due to “Adult Circumstances”

http://www.dualshockers.com/dragon-quest-xi-nintendo-switch-s...

Oh, so probably just boring politics and agreements between the various companies involved. I got excited for a moment when I saw "Adult Circumstances”, thought it might have been something more fun and lewd.

Producer Yusuke Amano and director Hiashi Nogami said:

“Splatoon is basically designed as a game that you can enjoy without direction communication. The reason we included voice chat this time is because we wanted users who already know each other to enjoy the game more deeply using a communication tool that’s linked to the game. Basically the same environment as the previous game has been preserved, so there is no need for concern.” – Yusuke Amano

“Voice chat can only be used when playing with someone you know, such as in private matchmaking; voice chat with someone you don’t know in random matchmaking won’t happen.” – Hisashi Nogami
