Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

The fact it's September and the holiday 2017 Kirby 3DS game still hasn't been revealed yet is odd. Maybe a Direct is happening this month after all.

What are your thoughts on the Mushroom Kingdom being in Odyssey? I think it's great to have the classic kingdom that still gives that touch of Mario to it.

@Grumblevolcano That'd be so convenient. I'd love to see more news on other stuff. As hyped as I am for Odyssey, I need more news on other stuff. Like, I don't know, VIRTUAL CONSOLE! Really. The switch has been out for 6 months. It's not that hard to port existing games to a new system.

@Dev I think their girlfriends would be Deach and Paisy - even if that sounds weird.

Heads up to any Germans reading, a German-only game called Schlag den Star, based on a popular game show of the same name (of which there was a short-lived UK variant called Beat the Star), is coming to the Switch on 29th September, published by bitComposer Interactive and distributed by Nintendo. See, they do handle shovelware!

Can't find a Nintendo Switch to buy? You'll be glad to hear that Gamestop managers were given a free Switch each recently.

No, they are 3D. You move in 3 dimensions. That's it.

Yeah, but that one we like! So it is a 3D game!!!! tad bit sarcastic

@The64Master Don't get your hopes up for anything Virtual Console being announced any time soon. Nintendo seem to be unsure what to do with it.

@Grumblevolcano Yes please to that direct. Could always do with some more info, and it's not like Pokken DX will move mountains anyway (as in, if it distracts from it, I'd give that a /shrug)

What? you don't think it's enough that Nicalis have brought two games to the Switch already? You don't think it's enough that they have 8 games in the pipeline? Well, how about SOME MORE? Oh, what's that? They've been PIXELLATED!?

Well, considering this is a the topic for everything Switch, let us rejoice! https://www.gamereactor.eu/news/588543/The%20Switch%20hits%20...

AKA 1.5 million Switches sold in Japan so far.

Japan just can't get enough if the things. In the mkst litteral sense.

And this isn't even a holiday season. I wonder if sales spike around Christmas there like in the US and Europe?

@Hieronymus-E Yes and no, because they probably don't have enough stock to keep up with the demand during the holiday season.

So Lego Worlds is getting an updated app icon

Did people really complain that much?

Your icon sucks, so must your game! Lots more stuff to complain about people.

Look what you want to be.

That's one of my rules.

@Hieronymus-E Thr icon was some LEGO.

Its a LEGO game where you build things.

Think they quite well with that criteria

@UmniKnight They are going to burn down the country when DQXI releases the switch version. (It's the only thing keeping me from importing the 3ds version!!!!) It is going to be "Tumbleweeds at work part 2" all over again.

@Ryu_Niiyama If those ground up MH Switch rumours are true, then they'll burn down what's underneath the country as well...

I wonder. We've got people holding off on XX for World, but how many people in Japan are holding off on DQXI right now to get it on Switch?
