Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@FragRed That's assuming people just don't boot up another device to watch Netflix on if they can't watch it on the Switch.

Hey there, first time posting here as I’ve yet to get a Switch (can’t wait to, though I have to 😫).
I’m really excited about all the games that are out and those that are coming out this year: I probably won’t have the time to play them all! lol
I’m very happy about all these ports coming to the Switch as I have a Wii U and a PS3, but had very little time to play them so I ended up buying only a handful of games, and with the Switch I’ll be able to play all those games I missed out on portably, which means actually being able to play them this time 😄
Games I already have like MK8 or Bayo 1+2 I probably won’t double dip on, bit I’m very excited about DKC:TF, Dark Souls and Hyrule Warriors (I’ve been wanting a Switch version with all the Wii U + Legends content since the Switch was announced 😄), as I never got to play them.

Guys....
I found this from website.

Online stability incoming this week. A whopping 11h40m of maintenance that may, or may not, affect online play for the Switch. Oh, and apparently the parental controls as well...

@Mintendo Any specific time given for when the maintenance will begin?

@NaviAndMii 2 am-9 am on january 16, 1:50 am-3:30 am on january 17, 2 am-5 am on january 18. And then some Splatoon2 maintenance coinciding with one of these times. And of course the parental controls! Times in CET.

@Mintendo Thanks! Man, that's a lot of stability! ..it's gonna be more stable than a 1000 legged table by the time it's all finished!

@Mintendo Nintendo Direct confirmed!

@Grumblevolcano Insider Info - There will be a Nintendo Direct...some time this year.

If we do it like fortune tellers and mediums do it, we can say technically we were right.

I for one hope Netflix does come to Switch at some point in the future.

We have a smart TV, but it's built in Netflix app never streams an HD image (it's sluggish, and when it finally does play, it's a blurry mess), and for the life of me the PS3 app doesn't want to work for me (when someone else wants to use it, it works flawlessly, but when I try, it says it can't connect, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME...).

@Grumblevolcano Of course! It'll be this thursday obviously 😁!

I noticed Bayonetta doesn't offer any incentive to buy one if you buy another like the Wii U did and more recently RE Revelations 1&2. If you want both titles digitally it's going to cost £65.Not too happy with that. I bought the Bayonetta Special Edition with both games included a few weeks after it came out for £31. They could start offering an incentive nearer release but then that's not fair on those who have pre-purchased it.

@Anti-Matter That's quite a good idea actually but apart from the NES none of those consoles titles have been confirmed as coming to Switch. Seems like they've jumped the gun a bit or maybe they know something we don't but I doubt it. As the saying goes though, if you're not fast you're last.

Another thing about that is I've never heard of the company who's making it. When it comes to 3rd party controllers that's never a good sign.

Except people have brought up multiple times that that's exactly what's happening...?

That didn't stop 8bitdo launching their propads so I don't really see that as a prerequisite for releasing a classic focused controller.

@OorWullie You actually do get the incentive via the eShop, at least in the US.

Buy Bayonetta 2 for $50, get Bayonetta for $10, or buy Bayonetta for $30, get Bayonetta 2 for $30.

@kkslider5552000 I remember reading someone mentioning that but at this time there is no mention of it on either game on the UK coming soon section.Maybe the discount is applied when you complete the 2nd pre-purchase but surely they'd mention it if it was available.

@YummyHappyPills Where did you read that as neither game is on the US coming soon section yet?

@toiletduck 8-bit Do have been releasing those pads for years though for PC and Android/iOS. All they did was add Switch compatibility to them.

@OorWullie https://www.platinumgames.com/games-top/bayonetta-2-on-ninten...

@YummyHappyPills Well it's good to know that the incentive is there. But on the other hand, it's not good that they're not making it clear or even worse, not offering it to those who pre-purchase.

I don't particularly care about Netflix not coming, though I do believe it will and that tweet wasn't the truth. However, I really want a YouTube app, because that is the only thing I boot up my Wii U for after Pokken DX released.
