Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@NaviAndMii Seems like they underestimated. So I guess Switch loses one of its two selling points for that gane.

For every good bit of news for this system that we get there is a torrent of bad news.

@NaviAndMii Pretty sure I saw on ConcernedApe's Twitter that the PC version of the game will get the multiplayer before the Switch does. Whether that means the Switch version will launch without the multiplayer or not is unclear, though. He might just release the multiplayer for PC soon and then have the Switch version launch later with the multiplayer included. https://twitter.com/concernedape/status/836667019931967488?la...

But yeah, Stardew Valley looks like it'll scratch the Harvest Moon itch far more than the actual Harvest Moon game will. The time I spent playing it was a lot of fun. One of the best games of 2016 IMO.

RE Revelations 1 & 2 coming to Switch is great news. Now give us UMvC3 Capcom!

Anyways, Peach Ball Senran Kagura got announced for Switch. It's a pinball game, and it has HD Rumble support.

@IceClimbers I really want something like that (or even better, a Nintendo crossover) on a Nintendo console... but on the other hand, Super Smash Bros. does kind of dominate the crossover market with an iron fist.

Well I guess Natsume is getting better. I'll likely get Stardew to tide me over until Marvelous/Xseed wander over to the switch.

Whats the general opinion on leaving your Switch in the car?

Worried a hot day might damage the battery or something. Is there any official temperature guidelines? Could this void your warranty?

@blaisedinsd Extreme heat is never good for electronics and some companies don't honor heat damage. (I've not read Nintendo's warranty because I've not had service for a Nintendo system in 29 years so this is a general response) Of course if you mean for a few minutes while you go into a store it should be fine...but all day? I wouldn't do it if I were you.

Dear Lord... dare I ask what serves as the pinball in this game?

@Nicolai A peach ball...just like the name implies. You would need more than one pinball for anything else.

Long live the Wii U!

So anyway, because this will never not be amusing to me, let's officially add that STREET FIGHTER 2 SOLD FOR 40 BUCKS IN 2017 to my list of Switch games that outsold the Wii U versions of major western AAA games. Along with 1 2 Switch, a mediocre Bomberman and presumably (if not now then later) Puyo Tetris. Probably Snipper Clips, Snake Pass and Shovel Knight in the long term too.

I've done it but I have a case for mine and I put it on the floor under a seat. Even still I wouldn't leave it there longer then an hour or so.

We don't have this problem in the UK. The biggest threat when leaving your Switch in the car on a summers day here is water damage if you've left the sun roof open.

@StuTwo I think the biggest problem is our insurance being void when it inevitably gets nicked.

My Switch rarely leaves the house and if it does I intend to be using it wherever I'm going. I don't think I've ever left a portable console in the car

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon - Promo Trailer for Nintendo Switch

Just announced within the last hour.

Chess Ultra - Coming to Nintendo Switch 2017

Chess....the original AAA game!

Nice. I was just thinking about getting back into chess.

Nights of Azure 2 looks great. It's too bad they're launching it so close to Mario Odyssey. It's going to get buried, just like Splatoon 2 buried Fate/Extella.

@Ralizah Splatoon 2 also buried ARMS.

@Grumblevolcano ARMS sold very well at launch, and had plenty of time to gain traction. Fate/Extella and soon Nights of Azure 2 aren't getting that opportunity because idiotic third parties are competing with highly-anticipated first party Nintendo titles for sales. It's almost like they want the games to tank.
