Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@FragRed I would be more then happy if half was on cart lol. Their other games were like 20% and 33%

I'm just here to remind people Steamworld Heist is coming to Switch tomorrow, and that you should all buy it. It is an AWESOME strategy game that quite frankly doesn't waste your time the same way a lot of the genre does and is great from beginning to end. Literally one of the best games I played on 3DS. And you get all the DLC too!

Posted this in the Pokemon thread, but I'll post it here as well: did anyone see this: http://comicbook.com/gaming/2017/12/26/pokemon-switch-rumors/

If what this is saying is close to true, it indeed will include some major and certainly controversial changes. The Z move thing sounds silly, like GameFreak is finally cashing in on the waggle craze from 10 years ago lol. And I don't like the sound of simplifying the battle system, it sounds like it'll be like the battle system from Pokemon Go, which I dislike tremendously.

Sounds unlikely. Simplifying the minimalist battle system? Eh, no.

Since not much answer on the recommendations, kinda want to ask around here since it's more filled with people :[

I currently have a 32GB on my Switch right now, and might be looking to upgrade to 128GB.. but I'm also still on the fence about it. Or maybe 64GB will be enough? :/ I'm not sure and it's making me keep thinking about it

If my main use of Switch is physical only as much as I can (especially if it's between digital / physical purchase), how likely will I need a new one? Will Switch be full of digital only title for good stuff (Like how Vita is...) or should I be okay with 80% (probably) usage of my SD Card will be for patches / Japanese VA etc? I'm looking towards never updating this SD Card again, after all since moving between two are kinda hassle for me, imo.

Edit: There's also a nice around US$8 cashback for 128GB VGen SD Card right now over here, never used it so I'm wondering if any of you ever used VGen? Is it good for Switch?

@shadow-wolf
Take it with a mountain of salt. The origin of the rumor is Poke Jungle, which reports on everything it hears, both credible or not. They reported on the existence of an Alolan Arcanine that was a Water type, for example.

@Luna_110 Apparently the source that Poke Jungle refers to was the same one who correctly predicted the return of Giovanni and Team Rainbow Rocket in USUM so it's plausible.

@darkfenrir Don't have a Switch yet but it honestly depends on your gaming habits. Do you plan to buy a lot of indies and downloadable titles? If so, I'd go for the 128. If not, 64 should be fine. Although with so many publishers asking you to download portions of their games, I think I'd recommend you stick with your 32 for now, wait for a sale on 128, and then grab that.

@shadow-wolf Ah gotcha! There's actually some 64GB being discounted, but still not as huge as I'm hoping for...

Guess I'll wait for 128 then, thank you ^^

For gaming habits I mostly stick to official big releases compared to indie/downloadable titles. (Usually stick with PC for indies since they tend to be reaaaaaally cheap since Indonesia's steam page has stuff cheaper than with eshop which is USD based)

I noticed Portal Knights on Switch somehow.... looks different with my PS4 version.
I noticed frame rate drop (of course) and i noticed there are some Different places that i have Never met from my PS4 version. Overall, i think the PS4 and Switch version have their own merit.
I hate to admit but Dang it !
I have to keep my PS4 as well as matter of fact, i had played the PS4 version for 6 months from June 2017 and i still like to continue my progress.
And for the Switch version.... if only Keen Games optimized some issues for Physical version (frame rate boost to at least 60 frames per second), i would be happy to play the Switch version.
Well, right now i consider the PS4 version is version A while Switch version is version B, same games but with their differences.

Nintendo Switch for $259.99 with code: YEAREND20

@JaxonH
Is Rakuten reliable to purchase from there ?
Can Rakuten deliver to Indonesia ?

@Anti-Matter
1 yes
2 no idea... you'd have to check their shipping options

@JaxonH OMG. What on Earth have you done?!

There’s a 20% off voucher on the UK eBay website starting at noon until six o’clock in the evening, and a standalone grey/neon Switch would cost £224 after applying the relevant discount.

I really, really, REALLY don’t need it... or do I?

I sincerely regret popping into this thread this morning.

Not sure if this was posted, but there's some sales of Inti Creates games.

http://inticreates.com/new-years-sale-2018/

Switch games:

Blaster Master Zero ($9.99→$6.99)
Mighty Gunvolt Burst ($9.99→$6.99)
Gunvolt: Striker Pack ($39.99→$31.99)

These also have 3DS versions if you so desire.

I've been waiting for Blaster Master to go on sale now for well since launch!

20 million is quite a hefty number. If Nintendo can pull it off, then that would be absolutely amazing.

Not a huge fan of the dlc comment. Hope they don't focus so much on it that it starts to affect when and how often we get new games.

I think we're already seeing this with BotW and Xenoblade 2. ARMS and Splatoon are pretty standard, but BotW and Xenoblade 2 being single-player games with more DLC paves the way for more to come.

@Spoony_Tech I’d hope we’ll see Mario Kart 8 DLC. The original DLC was very substantial and that type of expansion pack DLC is very welcome by me.

@Peek-a-boo that deal covers anything on eBay. If you ever wanted a cheap Pro controller or had your eyes on a particular game...
