Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I was considering Revelations 2 but no chance am I using up 20% of my memory card on it.Being download only is going to really hurt its sales at retail and on the Eshop.

@BLP_Software Capcom. That's all that needs to be said haha.

On the topic of file sizes, DB Xenoverse 2 is 6.4GB.

Yeah, getting the 64GB card was a mistake. Should've bought the 128.

@OorWullie It definitely will hurt sales, I'd imagine most Switch users don't have a micro SD card for their Switch let alone it taking up a significant part of some micro SD cards.

Still think it's weird they didn't even try to fit them on a single card. 26GB is pretty big. I also think it's weird how 32GB is the current limit of available cards, but they probably get too expensive if they made them bigger...

@Grumblevolcano Internal memory works differently. All the space on a card is available for the game. So yes, a 26GB game can fit on a 32GB card.

And no, BOTW on the Wii U didn't require downloadable content. Everything is on the disc, everything fits on the disc. The problem the Wii U version is that optical media is too slow, the disc drive cannot load the data fast enough, hence why everything on PS4 and Xbox is a mandatory install. Zelda, and Xenoblade X to a degree, required installs for the same reason. The disc drive wouldn't be able to read and load the game fast enough.

@Octane Why was BotW a forced update then? Of course XCX had optional data packs but you literally couldn't play BotW if you didn't download the update.

Honestly it would have been better having a DL code for the snaller first game and putting the 2nd on a cart it can easily fot on.

But no. Its cheaper for them to pass the cost to us. Give us the smaller game on a cart and make us download the bigger one

@Grumblevolcano Because like I said, disc drives are too slow. XCX and BOTW are arguably the biggest Wii U games in terms of size. They made it work with XCX, but maybe they couldn't with BOTW.

Looks like next week's gonna be another busy one for releases...

• 36 Fragments of Midnight
• ACA NEOGEO Spinmaster
• Beach Buggy Racing
• Kingdom: New Lands
• NBA 2K18 (out Friday 15th September on eShop, retail release 17th October)
• Quest of Dungeons
• Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition (out Tuesday, also out on retail)
• Semispheres

So glad L.A. Noir is making its way to the Switch, and it's custom ported.

HD Rumble doubt.

I'm just glad the Tri Slosher is getting nerfed finally.

@IceClimbers I really didn't have a problem with it until I fought one with any weapon with a longer range than an Inkbrush.

@Hieronymus-E Custom ported? I heard it was PS3 levels.

@Hieronymus-E Customer ported? You mean just adding in the hd rumble and such right? I mean I do want to see what they do visually. Switch is more powerful than ps360 in handheld mode.... So we SHOULD get a good experience docked.

Unsurprisingly LA Noire is $10 more expensive on Switch than other platforms. Another game falls victim to the Switch tax.

@Grumblevolcano damn that Switch tariff! Boycott shall be engaged!

@Grumblevolcano Source?

EDIT: Ah, found it. A shame, but we're paying to take it on the go. A disk system wouldn't have worked for the Switch.

@Hieronymus-E that's it. If you like the hybrid nature of switch then you have to be okay paying the price for that. Some games will run as lower resolutions, lower framerates, and the physical copies of some games will cost more.

ARMS is getting control remapping!

wow. This is a huge game changer for me. I might get back into this game.

SMH. It's like we've stepped back into the N64 era. Damn you expensive, limited sized proprietary cartridges.
