Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@antster1983 @Octane Yeah Hello Neoghbor would be easy enough to find out about and just add it to his predictions so he can say "Look see I'm right". Though that game is supposed to be absolutely awful.

As for RDR that's not one I think will happen for the same reason there's no PC version or Xbox One/PS4 release. The coding is apparently really messy which would make any ports or HD remasters an absolute nightmare to do.

@GrailUK Not all of it is related to Nintendo, the Street Fighter V stuff obviously isn't. There's a specific section on Nintendo-related rumours at the bottom.

@FragRed People have been saying it's a mess, but there's no source for it. There's even a thread on Reddit that went searching for a source, but it seems to be more like something that was exaggerated or made up at some point and repeated indefinitely.

@Octane That's interesting. If that's the case then I really do wonder why it never came to PC as all other Rockstar games have, haven't they?

Still, with the sequel now coming out I'm not sure how much desire there would be for a port of the first game on the Switch if it isn't getting the latest game.

@FragRed @Octane True. That post was made 2 days ago, and the PEGI rating went up sometime in December. We'll see how accurate any of this "leak" is when the next Nintendo Direct comes I suppose.

switch has sold over 4.8 million in the US.

Hoo-boy. That's a lotta Nintendo.

I don't know if I can stand this much winning.

@Dev Don't tell the PlayStation/Xbox fanboys that, they'll be raging.

Unfortunately for many of these so called "gamers" they just cant accept Nintendo doing well.

According to NPD, the PS4 was the best selling console in 2017 in the US. Impressive, if you consider that it outsold the fastest-selling video game conso... what?

@Octane In terms of opening 10 month sales, Switch has set the record with 4.8m units sold.

Yes, PS4 sold the most units in 2017, at a lower price, but that wasn't at full price when its a brand new system.

Yeah, just as well there are no fanboys here, eh? 😜

People just really like that portable play!

@YummyHappyPills lol, I know, I know! It's just funny when you put it that way.

And hey, you're back!

@Octane Temporarily. Had to come bask in the good news being a business geek and all that. Plus I got some good news of my own...kind of depending on how you look at it.

The words about support from Take Two, Activision and EA have me curious. Is that more Skylanders, FIFA and NBA? EA is probably going to shut up and put up now, Activision notably have said nothing since Skylanders on launch day, and Take Two....I mean....Grand Theft Auto anyone?

That's the thing. I fully expect NBA and FIFA at this point, they'd be insane not to. It's just...what else...

Isn't Skylanders basically cancelled at this point? I thought amiibo was the only toys-to-life still standing.

@Octane On hiatus I think is the official line.

At the same time....Vicarious Visions worked on Crash (As they have in the past on GBA actually) and helped with Destiny 2. Toys For Bob helped with Crash.

So I assume there will be a title this year from TFB? Maybe?

The Activision game is probably the Crash collection, there was that retail listing that suggested it wasn't completely PS4 exclusive (only timed).

NBA and FIFA are dead certs. Madden for sure also. GTA seems so logical but who knows. It may never come

I don't see EA porting anything outside of sports titles unfortunately

Activision is COD or Crash once it becomes multi platform

After using the wii u pro controller after how many months, I have to say it is soooooooooo much sleeker and more comfortable than the switch pro controller. I really wish they could just update the Wii U version with motion controls and NFC because it is a gorgeous piece of hardware. Especially compared to the cheap feeling Switch version

@Operative2-0 I'm the other way round. The Wii U Pro feels cheap compared to the Switch Pro. The Wii U Pro feels hollow and is considerably lighter. The Switch Pro feels sturdy and well built and I love how the big buttons feel. The analogue sticks are much better too. Shame about the D-pad though.

@Octane Oh hush Mr Pushsquare! Remember where you are and don't be a party pooper

Edit- PS4 had like 3 months of market domination before Switch, so it's probably referring to just the first 10 months like for like. (Maybe - I have no idea ^^)
