Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Games I would like to see mentioned but don’t think they will be are;

Football Manager - Sega released a version of this on the Vita a few years back, could the Switch get a version?

Vanquish - I think I read reports of Platinum remastering this game for PC again will Platinum consider this for the Switch or like Bayonetta will Nintendo fund a sequel?

Mass Effect trilogy - had tons of fun with Mass Effect 2 on the PS3, could EA port the whole trilogy to Switch?

Transistor and Bastion both made by SuperGiant games, with both games available on PS4 & iPad and Bastion on Vita good quality indie games.

X-Com - Mario and Rabids paved the way, lets have a full X-com experience where I can name my soldiers and mourn their passing at my tactical ineptitude!!, Don’t know if X-Com 2 is possible, but again X-Com did get a Vita port.

@Farmboy74 Football Manager would be absolutely brilliant to have on Switch but I fear for the rest of my games if it ever comes out.

Nintendo Switch eShop UK Charts - January 5th 2018

1: Rocket League
2: Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition
3: Arcade Archives: VS. Super Mario Bros.
4: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
5: Stardew Valley
6: Super Mario Odyssey
7: 1-2 Switch
8: Overcooked: Special Edition
9: Sonic Mania
10: Enter The Gungeon
11: FIFA 18
12: Steamworld Dig 2
13: Splatoon 2
14: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
15: Snipperclips: Cut It Out Together!

So interesting to see no sales in there. Also interesting to see FIFA 18 higher than it was when it was on sale, and climbing. Splatoon 2 has re-entered as has Snipperclips. 1-2 Switch is also fairly high all things considered.

@DarthNocturnal he's talking out his ass... we got Zelda on launch 9 months ago last year.... Nintendo wants to deliver, they won't think twice about cashing in on a 2d Zelda on switch.

I think 3DS seems most likely for the ALBW style game, it's an easy way to continue supporting 3DS. Sure it'll annoy Switch owners but anything coming to 3DS and not Switch seems to annoy Switch owners.

@Inertiacreep Zelda is as bad as the Super Mario series with releases now.

Honestly after a huge game like BOTW a smaller, more condensed adventure is probably not a bad idea.

And I mean looking at the list, since 2013 we have had 8 releases for Zelda. A lot of those were ports admittedly and very welcome ones at that. I don't know where he got his stats from on "Too Soon".

@GrumbleVolcano Anything going anywhere and not to Switch annoy Switch owners...

@YummyHappyPills Steamworld Dig 2 was on sale up until yesterday.

There's a new game appeared on the Eshop called Vesta. Looks pretty good. Can't find any reviews for it so I'm assuming it's a new game. It was announced for PS4 in December.

@YummyHappyPills Just saying there are more possibilities than another Zelda game. Just in case anyone gets their hopes up, expects a Zelda game and it turns out to be a Legends of Mana remake.

LoZ 2 remake or I bomb a Dodongo.

@Octane Absolutely fine by me!

@OorWullie Ah, fair enough. I can only go on what the eShop tells me today.

@YummyHappyPills I'd say that's less of a case with big 3rd party games. Yes there are people who are annoyed the big games like CoD, Destiny, Madden, etc. aren't on Switch but there's also plenty of people who think the Switch is better without them.

@Grumblevolcano One man's trash is another man's treasure after all.

Personally I quite enjoy what I played of Call of Duty multiplayer while at university. C4 only, tomahawks only, one shot one kill, all good fun and very high tension.

I believe Treyarch is the next CoD developer up to bat, and they are the ones who did the Wii ports of all the CoD games I believe. Maybe they are working on a Switch port of whatever is next from them?

anything period not coming to switch annoys them lol.

Nippon Ichi Software's president Souhei Niikawa has announced that Disgaea 5 Complete has sold 200,000 copies worldwide for Nintendo Switch, and as their 25th anniversary looms, reiterates their support for the Switch as a primary system (alongside the PS4), targeting the system with new IPs and sequels. https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2018/01/01/111976.html

NIS America will be holding a press event on 9th February. No doubt there'll be details of release dates for Penny-Punching Princess and Fallen Legion, and perhaps if Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story is heading to the west...

I get the feeling the LBTW review quotes are because it's getting a Nintendo Selects release in 2018.

@Scrummer As has been noted that is the most likely option but at the same time it already has a Selects release elsewhere....without quotes.

And if there was more Nintendo Selects games coming than just one, they would ask for quotes for more games.

I just want a 2D Zelda on Switch at some point. This news is probably NOT for a surprise Between Worlds Switch release, but if it is, I'd be VERY happy. I'd prefer a brand-new 2D entry, obviously, but this would tide me over.

Edit: But also, dang - like others have said, a "surprise! here's another Zelda game for the Switch" announcement would be one heck of a way for Nintendo to enter 2018, even if it is a port.

My money is on Mobile version of LBtW

@Bunkerneath I'd say the odds on that happening are somewhere between zero to none.
