@Krull Great shout! Yeah, you could be on to something there...ticks every box!

Why Nintendo be announcing a new way to play...thats multiplatform and already announced

Hm... I'd say something new involving Amiibo to revitalize them, or maybe... I dunno how they'd even use the IR sensors tbh. Maybe they're bringing back R.O.B?

Continuing yesterday's discussion of download speeds......I played with it yesterday, and tried DLing a demo of some random indie game around 600MB. On wifi it was going at a good clip, 1% a second or so. As soon as I docked it it crawled and took a good 15+ minutes to DL the rest. So it appears like the LAN adapter is either REALLY REALLY slow, or the Switch is intentionally slow when running wired at least for downloads? I wonder if that affects lag in games like Splatoon in any way? I'd be curious if anyone else has done any testing with the eth adapter.

@Krull wow I've totally missed that, but makes a lot of sense. Very cool concept, not a game that would appeal to me though.

Bad day to be asking with all the hype and speculation for the announcement this afternoon but here it goes.

I have Switch. NA region. Have bought games from the Eshop as well as used packaged download codes (for Mario and Rabbids).

Tried to download Resident Evil 2 Revelations last night using download code from the physical box. Got Error Code 2813-6561.

Looked it up on google. Says code mean download code was entered incorrectly (not it, tried many times) or code was intended for a different region.

Code I put in was the NA code on a NA machine.

Kicker is that the EU code provided WILL work and allow me to download it.

I have not yet because I wanted to check to see if it could lead to any complications.

Any ideas or thoughts why the EU code would work but not the NA and whether its ok just to use that one?

@JonSpangler Not sure why it's not working but if the EU code works you can use it with no worries. My main user account is UK one, my Switch is Japanese but I buy almost all my games using my US user account on the US Eshop and play them with my UK account.

@JonSpangler What region is your Nintendo Account? From what you're saying it sounds like it's from a region which uses an EU store which would explain why EU codes work but NA codes don't.

@Grumblevolcano
I checked my region and it said Americas, which I am presuming is US/NA one. Have never had any indication that I have a EU account, for example all my Splatfests have been NA ones

@OorWullie

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure it would not force my switch to a EU region or mess with something that would make the eshop not usable later on.

Strikers 1945 2 will release next week. Superb!

I do wish it was Zero Gunner 2 instead but that's one release closer to it happening. Samurai Aces and Gunbird 2 were also announced as coming soon so maybe those will come first. Either way, it's all good. Strikers 1945 and Gunbird in TATE mode are 2 of the finest shoot-em-ups I've ever played.

@OorWullie It appears Zero Gunner 2 is out now in Japan...

[Nintendo Switch] Ambition of the Slimes Launch Trailer

@JonSpangler Don't know then, maybe it's just the Revelations 2 code being faulty.

Regarding today's announcement, I'm sticking with Animal Crossing as my prediction.

The Steep listing on Nedgame was a mistake and they'll be removing the listing soon.

@antster1983 Wow, I wonder if there's a chance it will appear in tomorrows update? The first 2 Zerodiv games made a stealth appearance just like that. They released in Japan with no previous fanfare and hours later were on the UK Eshop. Fingers crossed the same happens this time.

@JonSpangler What currency are the prices in when you open the eshop? (answer for each user account on your Switch if you have more than one)

@gcunit
That I do not know offhand and will have to check back at home.

Buying online through the website the prices come up US (24.99 for Tiny Metal for example)

edit:
And the region on Nintendo.com is the US, American flag in the corner.

"A new way to play."

Maybe we'll get an AR game of some sort.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE so day 1! Miss games like this.
