Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I'm getting joycons sent in myself due to a severe drifting issue. Though I'm trying to wait until I get the chance to test it out with other joycons, to make sure the joycons are the problem, or else they want me to send the whole Switch in.

@Nicolai My original left joycon does that all the time and drives me insane. Not sending in my system just for a joycon though. I tend to use my other set more but the left one of those doesn't lock into the system very good. Darn left socks.....I mean joycons.

I really hope I get my switch back cause it has no dead pixels. -_-

@Azooooz
I've learned to just ignore it all. If you're going to use the internet for your intake of news and stuff, try to find some places that you trust and forum goers whose opinions you actually value.

I used to get worked up over IGN comments and all that. Just not good for your health. I pretty much stick to this site and Kotaku, and at Kotaku I stop reading after the article - no comments lol

There are some usernames on this site even that I see and totally skip their comment: I know what it will probably entail and I know that it's not worth me reading it.

Has konami announced anything for the switch this year? I thought they stated if sales of Bomberman were good they would revive other franchises (if the bomberman character lineup is any indication a new rumble roses and Castlevania may not be out of the question). Same with capcom other than the new megaman and ports is there anything new on the horizon?

@Snadertjuh I'm in Central America right now and Switch is hot but way over priced. Waiting to get back to the US to buy more accessories and stuff.

With regards to playing on public transport, that really depends on the locale and local saftey.

I have to say Riptide Renegade is a pretty decent game, especially at its current price. I bought it earlier off the South African Eshop for roughly £4.40 and it's worth every penny. I could have had it even cheaper if I'd just bought it when it was on sale on the US Eshop for $5 which is around £3.60.It's £4.99 currently on the UK Eshop but even if I'd paid the full £9.99 before it went on sale I wouldn't have had any regrets. It has a lengthy career mode and I've just had a few online races, found a few opponents easily. If you like arcade racing games then I'm sure you'll have some fun with this.

@GameOtaku Aside from Metal Gear Survive and PES, what else does Konami do? Metal Gear Survive is getting a lot of hate for obvious reasons and will probably flop and PES is... well, PES.

@FragRed Bomberman, Castlevania, Gradius, Parodius, Contra, DDR, Suikoden, Silent Hill...

@FragRed
Rumble Roses, the good tmnt games

@YummyHappyPills But how many of those are still active? And I mean recently had a brand new release, not a re-release.

@GameOtaku I dont count Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or any other licensed games because there's no way they'll ever be coming back through Konami.

@FragRed
Yugioh the card game is still widely popular and games sell well. A lot of wasted opportunities.

Maybe Saban brands will put out a power rangers game collection on switch to celebrate their anniversary!

We're looking at the wrong support here. We're seeing it increasingly often now, for the most part 3rd parties want to focus their Switch support on what they think the Nintendo fanbase would want. Look at Square Enix's support for example, their Switch focus is original exclusive JRPGs and remasters of old games which were exclusive to Nintendo consoles. You probably won't see stuff like Tomb Raider or Hitman appear on Switch.

Sure, there's exceptions like EA releasing FIFA or Bethesda releasing DOOM but it's not common.

@Grumblevolcano
I can see konami reviving its franchises they are incredibly popular especially with older gamers who remember good games instead of the crap they have recently. Castlevania Netflix was a hit, Bomberman sold well, seems fairly lucrative to me.

Well there was that rumour Konami are bringing the Wiiware Rebirth games to Switch, Castlevania, Contra and Gradius and are developing a 4th title in the series. I found Castlevania and Contra to be quite good and I'll likely buy them again. Never played Gradius Rebirth though for some reason. If true, I wonder what the 4th title could be?

I also wouldn't count out Tomb Raider or Hitman on switch either as they've both been on Nintendo consoles.

Nintendo Switch may have exorcised the ghost of the Wii U inside a year

@GameOtaku Hitman is now owned by an independent developer so whether that would ever come to the Switch would greatly depend on whether or not there is sufficient funding to port such games to the system, and more importantly how easy such a port would be to do? As for Tomb Raider, those aren't ever coming to the Switch.

@GameOtaku Just because something happened in the past doesn't mean it will happen again now.
