@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

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.

@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.

I've left mine in the car on a hot day but it was in a case, case in a bag, and the bag under a seat. I haven't had any issues so far at least.

@StuTwo LOL. @blaisedinsd If you're not where StuTwo is, I'd recommend against leaving anything electronic of any kind in a car, ever. Not unless it's rated for it (automotive-grade electronics.) Most normal things are not. Also, no aerosols saw a pic a while back of a hairsparay can planted through the windshield....they blow like a rocket in those 150F+ temps!

If you MUST leave it in a car, leave it in the trunk (that's the boot, to StuTwo), where it's not letting sunlight in like a solar oven.

Looks like Australia already has GUNBARICH. Europe is getting GUNBARICH tomorrow and North America is getting STRIKERS1945 tomorrow.

It looks like GUNBARICH supports portrait and landscape modes, so I guess it has TATE support, looking at this video...

Aero Fighters 2 and Strikers 1945 tomorrow and Sine Mora next week. Superb! Please let Strikers 1945 have TATE mode. I've been absolutely loving playing Galaga/Galaga 88 and Pacman vertically. I've never heard of Gunbarich before but I want it. Hopefully it'll be added to the NA Eshop too as I've already added funds to there. If it is I'll skip Retro City Rampage for now.

One of my biggest wishes for Switch before it released was for it to have classic arcade games and so far it's delivering big time. By this time tomorrow I'll have 9 Neo Geo games, Namco Museum and Strikers 1945. With loads more Neo Geo games hopefully still on the way,maybe Hamsters other Arcade Archive releases and more Namco Museums too, plus one off releases like Strikers 1945, I am absolutely thrilled. All I need now is a Sega Classic Arcade Collection Volume 1 to 5.If something like that is announced I will probably cry.

Digital version of NBA 2K18 for Switch still on track for launch, physical version pushed to the fall

NBA 2K18 has been delayed on Switch… sort of.

The main launch of the sports title is taking place on September 19. While NBA 2K18 will still be coming to Switch on that day digitally, the physical version will not. NBA 2K18 will hit store shelves on Nintendo’s console sometime this fall.

2K and parent company Take-Two Interactive have not provided a reason for the delay.

http://nintendoeverything.com/digital-version-of-nba-2k18-for...

I can guess why the physical version has been delayed. Similar to NBA Playgrounds, I bet it'll initially be released in a half baked state and they want to wait until it's in a somewhat acceptable condition before printing it on cartridge. The cartridge will always stay the same whereas they can chop and change the digital version as much as they like. It's not fact, just speculation on my part. Maybe there's a cartridge shortage.

Edit: Had a look at the file size for NBA 2K17 on PS4 and PC. It was roughly 48 and 50 GB respectively. Sure the Switch version won't be as big as that, but maybe they're looking at compressing the code. The biggest Switch cartridge is 32GB and they're likely costly too.

I have left my 3DS systems in the car plenty and never had a problem. Sometimes you want it on the go but not always on your person. I haven't had issues with mine but strangely I have had several battery issues on my Wii U which obviously is never left in the car.

I do leave mine in the car at work but it is in a shady parking garage so I feel like that's ok.

I just want to be more mindful with the switch since it's a more expensive home console. It is nice to be able to play console games on lunch break.

Both Gunbarich and Strikers 1945 launched at a special introductory price of 500 yen which is around $4.50.The normal price will be 864 yen.$7.80.I hope this special price carries over to the west too.

@skywake I believe Gunbarich is on your Eshop already,Do you know how much it costs?

Edit: Both titles are now on the UK Eshop,Gunbarich is £5.99 while Strikers 1945 is £6.99.No discount for the west then. Never mind,I'll be buying both of them along with Aero Fighters 2.Sorry Retro City Rampage,you'll need to wait.As usual the work experience kid running the US Eshop hasn't got around to adding them yet.He or she has been too busy adding some new titles to the "coming soon" section,must have read my comments the other day.

Can anyone confirm if any of the Switch stands can hold it securely in portrait mode?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I think it's probably something to do with cartridge costs or production. Maybe they had difficulty with acquiring a larger cartridge?

@IceClimbers I thought 32 was the biggest one available. I assume they have to order them through Nintendo, so I don't think they can make their own.
