Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@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.

What I'd want the most for Switch that's related to 3DS is a Kid Icarus Uprising port and/or sequel. While the original game is absolutely fantastic, it would be even better on a console whose controller has 2 control sticks.

Well I guess Nintendo sorta answered my request for green joycons. They flipped the colors for the NA splatoon standalone joycons vs the JPN standalone ones. ....Only thing is i have to buy two and then off load the pink ones.

@Dev Maybe it's a tease for DLC?

@Dev Well... two things pop out of that picture - the word FE i.e. that EA game; and the word 'Steam', obviously denoting that a Steam app is incomi... OMFG STEAM APP FOR SWITCH CONFIRMED!!1!

I dont think i've ever seen Nintendo be such blatant teasers before.

These crafty swine know we all know.

"Hello. We here at Nintendo appreciate our fans. We have heard what you want, and in this Direct we aim to please you with some great games incoming."
The sound of Smash appears
"Our first highlight is here."
Smash Bros Melee is revealed as the first game on the Gamecube Switch catalogue

For real, though. The Virtual Console name can be upgraded to a new name. I don't exactly know what, but if these games have edits to allow local or online multiplayer, the name needs to reflect that these aren't just straight ports.

New Donk City
Nintendo Direct Coming

FE(Triple meaning: EA's game gets a release date, Fire Emblem Switch gets official reveal + release and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE gets a Switch port.)

Talking Talkatoo amiibo

I hope we get news on a direct soon. Nintendo's just teasing us at this point....

Yeah, since the way the camera is positioned it says "New FE", I think they're teasing the new Fire Emblem more than Fe (not that the latter won't feature, but still).

where he got his stats from on "Too Soon"

Did you not look at your own post?

When's the last time we got 2 new Zelda games on the same system back to back the year after? Not since the CDi days, which is a poor example at best. So really, the NES was the last time.

And we're not talking spinoffs or remakes, but real, actual, new Zelda games (which is what this would be, not some remake or remaster or spinoff)

That's why it's too soon. Because they never release new Zelda games back to back the very next year on the same exact system. They do release a lot of Zelda games, but they are either remakes/remasters or spinoffs, or they'll be on a different system the following year. If this supposed new Zelda game is truly like Link Between Worlds, then it's a new reimagined game, not a remake. And historical precedent all but proves it would not be for Switch. It would be 3DS.

@JaxonH If it was a port of ALBW that wouldn't be a new game...

Anyway, look at this. May be fake.

It shows an internet browser, Cloud Storage, Theme Shop, Folders, ability to organise games on the menu, a media folder for apps like Twitch, a Virtual Console folder, and most excitingly the ability to receive and send messages, set up rooms for games with voice chat via the system, and the ability to switch rooms between your smart device and the console, instead of limiting it to one or the other.
