Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

As someone with a internet-phobic Wii U, just being able to take my Switch to my local working library Wifi is wonderful.

Hope you all work yours out OK!

Double double, toil and trouble,
Wifi routers should be rubble.
Do they work? Not one!
Disconnects from Splatoon and ruins fun.

Switch hardware sales are greater than the rest combined.

I would have expected Fire Emblem Warriors to sell better. And FIFA 18 on Switch didn't sell very well.

What's that? Nintendo smashing Sony's face into the pavement in Japan again? Thought so. Nintendo hardware outselling Sony by almost 3:1.

If you take rough figures based on console sales from vgchartz, the FIFA 18 attach rate on PS4 is about 1%, the attach rate on Switch is 0.85% - not much difference. And going by attach rates, Fire Emblem Warriors is a clear winner for the week.

lol. Even a warriors game did better than MVC I. That's embarrassing.

When you half-step stuff the customer knows!

This is only the start of Capcom's woes.

Most of Capcom's problems could be solved by releasing more of their games for Switch.

Most of Capcom's problems could be solved by not being Capcom.

Capcom makes some really weird pants-on-head stupid decisions at times. Never forget Mega Man Legends 3.

I’m sorry if this is not the right place to post this but I would really like a Pro Controller for my Switch. There are so many on Amazon with mixed reviews I don’t know what to do. The official Pro Controllers are so expensive...

@Hatsune_Pichu Maybe just save up for a while and get the official one? It's something you'll be using for years anyway, and they can't be that much more money than third party ones.

@Hatsune_Pichu Be careful with those third party ones as they don't have a lot of features. Most if not all are missing gyro and Amiibos support.

8bitdo is making a SNES inspired controller with gyro, but no amiibo.

Thank you both @Spoony_Tech and @Hieronymus-E. I didn’t consider Amiibo support so I could have made a terrible mistake thank you for stopping me. I do love my Miibs it’s just the past few months has been really expensive game wise and October is the worst! (In the best way of course).

Hmm... anyone heard any news about those three Warriors games coming next month to Japan? I'm still considering importing them eventually if they have English translations available, and unlike most of the previous Japan only games these already had English releases so it's not like it would be hard to include. Of course, I'm still holding off under the assumption that Koei-Tecmo doesn't want to announce more Warriors titles in the west until next year, since dropping them a week after Fire Emblem Warriors wouldn't fly in this market.

The new look for Xbox Live Rewards is basically Club Nintendo for Xbox. Xbox Live Rewards previously acted very similar to the Wii U Deluxe Digital Promotion where you'd buy digital content and be rewarded for your purchase by getting more Xbox credit, there were other things but the main point was buy stuff and get more credit to buy more stuff.

But now they've added an extra thing called "gems". You get them from doing stuff like watching Mixer streams for a certain amount of time per week, preordering games and plenty of other ways which you can use to get digital and physical rewards. From an Xbox Live Gold subscription code to controllers all the way to stuff like 4K TVs and VR equipment.

The advancements being made with Xbox Live Rewards are making My Nintendo seem even more bad and useless.
