Fire Emblem Warriors – Nintendo Switch Trailer – Japan Expo 2017

Not sure if we needed yet another tease from Platinum Games, but they really seem to be loving the Switch:

Yep, Wonderful 101 characters playing what looks like a Switch.

Seems pretty blatant

So Bayonetta 3, Bayonetta 1+2 port and now Wonderful 101/102? I think they're just trolling.

Have you ever tried to play Switch with friends on the party? If yes, the official dock is expected to help. However, does it really work? I have tried to take it to our friends’ and play with it. But it really sucks. Inconvenient. Bulk. Even need a backpack to take it. Intolerable. So I googled ans found a new adapter Nyko on E3, pretty great. Share it with you guys.
But this adapter is accessible only after October, three months later. Then I found another awesome adapter. Also works well. You can check it here

So after my first proper 24 hours playing with Switch I can safely say I absolutely love it.The first 24 hours after I bought it though were horrible.This is what happened.

After finally getting round my initial connection problems,I made my way to the Eshop to add my codes and make my purchases.I chose Blazing Star first and watched it complete its download on the home screen but then I was hit with some absolutely rotten luck.I lost connection again.So I checked the router again and to my disbelief it had packed in,gone,finito,dead as a dead parrot. Couldn't believe it! It was too late by this time to do anything about it so I was stuck with Blazing Star to play on my shiny new console for the night.Great game btw.Content I'd be able to get a new router in the morning I sat down to play some Blazing Star in handheld mode.Then my night got much worse.I noticed the left Joy-con felt loose when attached to the tablet.It creaked and wiggled and was loose enough to be always noticeable when playing.I read online several others have had this same problem but it's not the Joy-con that's damaged,it's the actual console rail.After some thought,I decided I was taking it back in the morning and hoping the guy would let me exchange it but at the same time,not feeling confident he would

So the next day I went back to the shop.I was there for ages,more than 3 hours.He tried my Joy-con out on another 2 tablets and they felt perfect,it was just my one that was loose.The guy couldn't authorise the exchange without permission from his boss though.After finally getting hold of him on the phone he put me onto him.The boss guy told me they can't exchange it as the system itself is working and Nintendo wouldn't accept them returning it.I tried to tell him it will get worse over time but he wasn't buying it.I thought that was it,I was stuck with this wonky console.The guy in the store had sympathy for me though,he admitted it would annoy him too.To my surprise he told me he will exchange the tablet for another one and then sell the wonky one second hand.No idea what he'll tell his boss but not my problem.Feeling happy,I came back to drop my Switch off at my place before going out to buy a new router.But my landlord had already beat me to it.She had bought me a brand new one that's much better than the one I had before and had already fitted it right outside my door..My Switch connected to it with ease and the connection is really strong.Well happy!

So after all that,I've now been enjoying ARMS,MK8D,Puyo Puyo Tetris and a few others.The system is an absolute dream to use.I've bought 10 games and will be buying Last Resort and that Flip game,forget its name,later tonight.Really couldn't be happier with it.

Switch only accounted for 5.7% of June game sales in the UK.

Meanwhile the dky is blue. 5% market dhare.

@BLP_Software
Man, Nintendo's presence really seems muted in the UK and Europe. How long has it been like that?

@rallydefault Forever.

I think 10% UK market share is attainable but very unlikely

@rallydefault Nintendo has always had poor marketing in the UK.

I think part of the problem is that they lack a real UK organisation. Everything is delegated down from NoE in Germany. Like in many areas there are differences in the video games market composition in the UK compared to Germany. You can't offer the same adverts in a different language and expect to find success. You can't offer the same package to retail when shopping in the UK is far more weighted towards large supermarkets than in Germany etc.

Well it's fair enough to be honest, for awhile Nintendo treated Europe quite badly. From huge delays compared to the rest of the world to the infamous pricing scam. They've improved over the years but regaining trust isn't exactly a quick process. On a similar note, I wouldn't be surprised if someday Sony's treatment of Europe in recent years backfires.

I agree because they just purchased novalogic and there games are still better then call of duty.

Platinum also seems to be teasing a Wonderful 101 port for Switch.

I dunno if I would rebuy W101. A sequel definitely, but I think I had my fill the first time around. A Bayonetta dual pack though? As someone that never got it on the Wii U, or anywhere else, I'd be extremely happy with that

I liked W101 a lot, but the infuriating shooter segments in the last level's escape sequence really put me off from playing the difficulties I could otherwise manage. In general Platinum has had a habit of including shooter segments in their games with... mixed results. Hopefully Star Fox Zero (controversial though it may be, the level design was very solid) has given them insight on how to make them consistently good, if they do keep adding them.

I'm all over that Wonderful 101. And Bayonetta. Man... Wii U is ripe for the picking. They need to pillage it dry as far as I'm concerned. Every game is the first ever handheld game, and HD handheld too which is a first, and tabletop mode with split joycons provides a console experience anywhere.

I want that for so many of my favorite games, and W101 and Bayonetta are on the top of that list. Hope they do better and set the stage for sequels.

I don't know if I would buy W101. I never picked it up on Wii U, I played the demo and it wasn't my cup of tea. Might give it a try.

I'm okay with getting Bayonetta 1 and 2 on the Switch, but I don't want any more Wii U ports. Maybe they could bring Smash 4 if they provide new content, but that's it. I would rather have new games, unless they need ports to fill in droughts, in which case I'd be okay with them.

I just checked the Arcade Archives Wikipedia page to see what titles are on the way next.They seem to update it every week or 2 with new TBA titles for Switch .There are currently 4 TBA Switch titles and one of them is the game I've been asking for since the start ,Super Sidekicks.That makes me so happy,me and my mate will have a load of fun with that.

In no particular order,the next 4 Neo Geo games up are

Super Sidekicks
Aero Fighters 2
King of the Fighters 2000
Fatal Fury Special

I agree. Look the Wii U was great, and sure bring the best things over (over a long period of time), but there's no need to bring everything over. I guess there's no harm either way but they should probably wait till the second half of the Switch's life to bring over Wii U games, last thing they need is to have people connect the Switch to the memory of the Wii U
