Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

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.

@YummyHappyPills Sorry, but the social features aren't exciting at all for me. Cloud storage, themes, folders, and VC, though? That would make the Switch feel so much more... complete as a system.

Fingers crossed that this is real, although it being fake wouldn't surprise me either.

@Ralizah The reason I say most excitingly is because what have people been moaning about?

Anyway its likely fake. The copy MK8D is a download but when shown the data management screen, its eating up less space than it actually should.

@YummyHappyPills
Well it wouldn't be a port. But a brand new reimagining ala Link Between Worlds. They haven't done straight ports of anything before the N64 era in a long time. It's too old for a port. They've already released as VC on 3DS anyways.

Where did that pic come from? I want to believe it but, where/how did this surface?

If Nintendo allows voice chat on the system, they'll kill it. That's the one thing they've needed to do. And if it works regardless of what game you're playing... they'll finally be fully ushered into the modern age of gaming.

Please be true. Why now though? If the online isn't coming til later... unless they're gonna show this in the direct. Still, how did this surface, and from whom?

It's fake apparently.

@JaxonH From a YouTube channel, as youll see its a video, but there are aspects that don't add up, so its a very elaborate hoax I believe. It's being reported by sites.

And bro. I said A Link Between Worlds. The 3DS game. From 2013. A port.

What we are speculating is if they are asking for review quotes about A Link Between Worlds the 2013 game specifically, for the purpose of a HD port.

Not a remake. Not A Link to the Past or anything pre-N64 as you say. The 3DS game.

@YummyHappyPills
Btw, it says 12.9gb in data management. Which is more than the game size. The cloud storage would likely be for save back ups only. So I don't see how it's eating up less space than it should.

Also, this doesn't look fake. I'm not saying it's real but this looks legit. Do you know how hard it would be too fake this? Dang near impossible imo. Just, everything about it seems authentic. Hard to believe because it seems too good to be true but it does seem genuine.

The only way this could possibly be fake, I think, is if hackers have the ability... but I don't think they've gotten far enough to modify the menu to that full extent.

edit

Nvmd. I see, that's how much space is left. I get it now

@JaxonH Thing is some aspects of it make sense.

Like when he unplugs a USB headset, it reacts accordingly as you would think. And if its a composited video, its FAR too well done to be wasted like this.

That's what's weird but what really kills it for me is the file sizes, and the fact that it would imply version 5.0.0 adds EVERYTHING Nintendo fans have wanted in one go.

@YummyHappyPills

Ya, it seems too good to be true. Literally everything we've wanted, and then some. And that's not how Nintendo rolls.

Apparently the YouTube icon is outdated as well. And I noticed the folder square was slightly mis-sized from the other icons.

Does seem to be fake, but gosh dang they did a great job on it. Shame. The folder saying virtual console is what really drives home being fake to me though. It's pretty clear Nintendo is not going to release traditional virtual console. It would be arcade classics, not VC. It's like he threw that in there just because he knew everyone wants VC.
