Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@DarthNocturnal
Just signed in myself, and unless I'm mistaken, it is now incorporated into Microsoft's main site like everything else has been - so it should work.

If only we had an Xbox thread...

You beat me to this comment by 4 minutes.

@DarthNocturnal That wasn't a derailment, that was death by Xbox Live Rewards signing-in talk. Those posts have probably just killed the Switch, as thousands of potential buyers flocked to this thread for Switch hype, and we anesthetized their minds to the point where they're going to be spending the rest of their days mumbling about the upcoming launch of an Xbox Live Rewards site.

I posted it here as a look at what's happening with other rewards programs while My Nintendo is still as bad as it was at launch back in March 2016.

So many games coming out this week.
Axiom Verge
Earth Atlantis
Stardew Valley
Are the 3 I'm getting this week.

Only Stardew Valley for me. That'll keep me occupied until Mario launches later in the month.

So, from what I can tell, Nintendo is largely solving the stock issues in NA. The system is consistently in stock on Amazon and probably other online retailers as well. Moreover, I went into a Gamestop the other day and saw a bunch of systems ready to sell.

Yeah the past few weeks in best buy, Wal-Mart and gamestop and target i see lotsa Switches in stock.

Axiom Verge is THIS week?

Hang me by the toes. I'm plain out of spending cash.

If I buy any games before Odyssey lands itll just be me spending for a break from depression. :/

Yea, i looked online, all the targets and gamestops in my state have them in stock so i want to see if they stay in stock through Christmas cuz i think they'll sell out

Considering selling mine.

@Scal_Capone, I would like to ask why you are considering selling your Switch?

@Scal_Capone

But.... why when GOTY is coming this month? D-:

It'd probably be better hold off anyway until the holiday rush gets here and it becomes harder to find one again.

@WinkSugoi mario will not be better than xenoblade.

@Farmboy74
I think it's called "trolling." Apparently it brings joy and attention to those who desperately need it.

@rallydefault
Ah yes that favorite internet past time to get a rise out of someone.

@Inertiacreep Not that they can really be compared with each other but if was to compare I can say with absolute confidence that Mario will be leagues better than Xenoblade 2 for the majority of gamers. Odyssey will go down as one of the all time greats in the industry, Xenoblade 2 will go down as an amazing RPG that will be unknown to practically anyone who isn't following it . I'll be surprised if it even gets a mention in the GOTY awards. That's not to say that you and some others won't enjoy it more than Odyssey.

Earth Atlantis - Nintendo Switch Release Trailer

"The Great Climate Shift" struck at end of the 21st century. Ninety six percent of the earth’s surface is underwater. Human civilization has fallen. Machines have adopted the shape and form of marine animals. The ocean is full of creature-machine hybrid monsters. You are a “Hunter” and the new journey begins…

Earth Atlantis is a side-scrolling shooter with an original "Monster-Hunting" gameplay. Search and hunt down dreadful sea monsters and explore the post-apocalyptic underwater world. Unlock multiple ships with special weapons and abilities for your journey and become a legendary hunter!

The game is presented in a very unique and artistic “Old Sketching” visual style, which expresses the essence of the 14th century’s ocean exploration when the sea was considered a dangerous place full of monsters.

Game Features

• Original side-scrolling shooter with monster-hunting objective
• Unique “Old Sketching” visual style
• Two game modes (Quest mode, Hunter mode)
• 4 Playable ships with unique weapons
• 25 large monsters and 4 enemy ships to hunt with 9 special events to complete

So much stuff coming out this week on the Switch but my SNES Mini is finally arriving tomorrow. Spoilt for choice. Do I get some indie games or just play Super Mario Kart all weekend for the millionth time? Decisions decisions!
