Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Pushsqaure are reporting that Japan PS4 is getting the Dark Souls Trilogy this summer exclusively, don't know how that will affect the Switch getting the other two.

I'm reading a lot of people in the Nintendo community being disappointed in this direct,well i guess that's what you get for hyping this direct to high hell with expectations that will never be meet.

I agree. This is one my most anticipated 3rd party games. Dark souls on the go sound to good to resist. Payday 2 might be fun as well with co-op and all. Kirby looks pretty great. Mario Tennis looks like back to form + new mode. Some interesting indie titles and lovely looking games like FE. Cool looking updates/DLC for existing games.

So far so good.

@Farmboy74 I imagine the only factor that will affect whether or not we get Souls 2 and 3 is how the original performs.

It's the trilogy box set which is exclusive I think.

Another thing to notice is Pokken DX disproves the theory some have had about Deluxe versions = no DLC which suggests MK8 Deluxe DLC is still possible.

Yeah, there was nothing mindblowing, but there are a few things I'm looking forward to getting.

• Kirby is looking good as ever.
• YS VIII is good from what I've heard (as a big JRPG fan, it was probably the highlight for me)
• Hyrule Warriors DX is a suprise, and I've never played any version of it.
• I'm also kinda interested in that SNK Heroines fighter, too.

@Azooooz What do you want to edit?

Some people are literally always disappointed by every Direct, E3, etc, because they set their hopes too high and then get angry when it turns out Nintendo hasn't made a new F-Zero game, translated Mother 3, found a cure for cancer...

Hiragana Pixel Party Switch Launch Trailer

Yeah I suspect we'll see a Nindies Showcase in early February and then a full sized Direct in late March/early April.

Really looking forward to Kirby Star Allies.

Agreed! We saw first/third party games with genres ranging from RPG's to platformers, fighters to shooters - targeting a whole range of ages - and some release dates, DLC news and highly regarded ports on top! ..all from a 'Mini' Direct clearly aiming to just be a little something just to kick the year off! ..hardly the tragedy some are making it out to be!

So apparently Kirby: Star Allies has a demo, but I don't see one available in the eshop...

@MsJubilee Heh, since that direct was announced (sort of) out of nowhere and is a mini. Expectations was supposed to be tempered.

@Ralizah, the Demo is for the new 3DS Kirby game, Battle Royale.

@Ralizah, I’d imagine Dark Souls 1 & 2 would be possible on Switch as there both PS3 & 360 games while 3 is on PS4 and XB1, but with Doom already on Switch and Wolfenstein 2 coming to Switch you never know.

Or if your talking sales wise, well it’s a series that’s never appeared on Nintendo hardware, i’d Imagine they’ll be demand from people who have only owned Nintendo hardware, demand for people who want portability and then people like me who have had the chance to buy and play the game but never got round to it!

@Farmboy74 Actually, this game is confirmed running in Dark Souls 3's engine, so all three games are now in the running for Switch releases.

I spent more than an hour on that Dragon Quest Builders demo, and I'm happy it became available, as that's one more game I know I'll be getting this year.

@Octane The thread creator seemed to not care about it anymore. I'm willing to provide news updates about this game. A MOBA game on the Switch? you can count me in.

@link3710, with that being the case, I wonder if Namco Bandai and From Software are going to see how well the first Dark Souls sells.
