Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Ryu_Niiyama We drove to a nearby town that was in the path of the total eclipse. Absolutely magnificent experience! I've never seen the world drain of light that quickly, and being able to look at the sun directly, with stars visible to the naked eye, was wild.

So uh... anyone looking for SNES Classic?

Might wanna preorder RIGHT NOW

Nice to see PayPal as an option. Also coming to Nintendo's website. 3DS and Wii U content can be purchased via PayPal on the website, though not on the systems themselves

I just learned from the Nintendo Direct Wiki page that there will be a Mario Odyssey Direct tomorrow and a Samus Returns one the next day. "Nintendo Direct Live from Gamescom" the shows are called.
I remember reading a few weeks ago that there will be a live stream of some games from Gamescom but I never thought anything of it.The fact they're calling the shows "Directs" though suggests there might be more to them,or does it?

@Therad

Yeah good point. I've got this vague 'some early in 2019’ date in mind to make the jump to PC really. I got discounted XBLG and PS+ subscriptions paid up until then as well as hefty game backlogs. My current laptop, while not great for modern gaming, is still going strong for everyday use. Oh and we've a baby due in September (it 2nd) so early 2019 seems like the point to make the jump.

The Final Fantasy XV team are interested in reaching an audience that play on a certain other machine that rhymes with Twitch. No idea what this means...so delete if I posted in the wrong thread

Of all the final fantasy games to come to switch, 15 would probably be the one I'd want them to port over the least. Probably not possible but I'd kill for a port of 10/10-2/12 HD remasters

Truthfully, those are the FF games I'd rather see also.

The classics always endure. And turn based lends itself well to portable play.

If they don't bring X/X-2 something is seriously wrong with them. No reason for that to only be on PS consoles.

@GrailUK Do you happen to have a source for that?

@UmniKnight
An article just got posted here on it.

@PLATINUM7 Ahh I see. The FFXV, as I'd call it by that art-style, derp-edition. Also thanks for the heads-up.

Fire Emblem Warriors has a confirmed European release date for 3DS and Switch - 20th October 2017. Limited Edition sets (for Switch only) to include 3 soundtrack CDs and character cards.

European eShop on Nintendo Switch this week on Thursday August 24th 2017 - Pokken Tournament demo incoming!

I don't care what version of FFXV comes to Switch. Even that pocket edition is the full game, art style aside.

I would definitely be ok with that. Sure, I think the original game looks better but, if I could play Final Fantasy XV on Switch, I wouldn't really care if the art style had to be changed to get it running.

@JaxonH If the pocket edition is what we get, then the down-tuned controls and combat are also a part of that. It just looks to me like the rotten chicken bone that was left over after the real chicken was eaten.

@UmniKnight
It wasn't gonna come at all, as I recall.

Rotten chicken bone? I'm sorry but that sounds like console war nonsense. We weren't gonna get this game at all. Even if it's the pocket edition, that's certainly alot better than not getting it at all.

You don't have to play it. But I know I would.

@JaxonH It's not console war nonsense, I mean look at the original, then look at that pocket edition. It feels like an insult to me.

"Gotta give em something, so here, take this mobile-game port. That should be good enough, right?"

@JaxonH @GrumbleVolcano So it turns out the Collection does have language settings, but only on the first menu.

It was set to the defaults, I had never even been in there. I went in and checked, none of the languages were highlighted. It was just as it came, when downloaded. Megaman 9 defaulted to Japanese...

So I hadn't selected a language. 9 defaulted to Japanese and the rest were English, but I never changed a setting...the game came with a glitch that made 9 Japanese even though the rest were English.

Oh Capcom...

Having watched the Final Fantasy Pocket Edition trailer, nah not buying that. If not a Final Fantasy remaster how about the World of Final Fantasy that released last year on PS4 & Vita?

I drove from Chicago down to Kentucky for the occasion. It was really somethin' special.
