Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Octane A company making game in two platforms or more, I think. If you look at the above image posted by SLIGEACH_EIRE, you'll notice that it's waaaay more than 100% as well.

@darkfenrir That's something I can get behind. It even says ''Choose all that apply'', so you can pick multiple options. But how can the overall percentage be more than 100 if the question was; ''Asked which platform interested them the most''? That implies there's only one answer possible.

@Octane Hmmmmm that one I have no idea, since I actually get confused on the list itself. Sorry for not able to help much @_@

@YummyHappyPills It says UK, so it's Europe.

@Inertiacreep How is it a broken Switch when others have noted the same thing, and NINTENDO SAYS IT'S NORMAL?!

@darkfenrir I understand that they happen. Mario + Rabbids had some freezes at times that happened, but the game was still so absolutely awesome, that I've 100%ed it, despite all of that. That said, I have mentioned those freezes before, and I duly hope they fix them.

I see frame-drops at times, but as long as they're small ones, you won't hear me. It's the large ones, like those, when I scroll in on an army fighting in Total War: Warhammer 2 that my frames-drop like snow during an avalanche. But in this case, I know: My Graphics card isn't strong enough to properly handle this game. I can upgrade that graphics card, and I can fix this.

With the Switch, when there's frames-dropping, when there's a problem of that likes, I know that I'm powerless. That I cannot solve the issues and that I can only pray the developers fix it. It's the power to upgrade that gives you the confidence you can have your beloved game run better by upgrading your PC which is something no console can offer you. That said, Nintendo has done well in regards to Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 as examples, but at the same time there's Zelda and XC2 that are dropping the ball left and right.

@NEStalgia I've got some things we do have to consider in regard to XC2 though, like that link I've showed you about it being the "B" team, and the fact that Monolith is working on something else: http://nintendoeverything.com/xenoblade-developer-monolith-so...

Tomorrow Corporation is releasing a new game this year. "7 Billion Humans." Appears to be releasing on PC and Nintendo Switch.

I forgot about that earlier.

The forums aren't for posting news. Go start your own site or blog if you simply must post news. This thread turns into a duplication of the site's home page, and seeing the same story in the forums is annoying, it is spam.

I was being rhetorical. I knew what you were trying to convey, but if so many sites have published it, why do you think we want it posting again here (again, rhetorical - we don't, news fatigue is a thing)?

Your 'News' posts are regularly interrupting the flow of discussion for readers, with your 'Look here - breaking news' style, yet you rarely post more than a superficial accompanying comment to stimulate discussion.

As per the Community Rules, this is not up for discussion here. You're going back on my ignore list and I'll happily action any reports from other users who find your 'News' posts annoying.

It's nice to see Tomorrow Corporation's games getting a second wind on the Switch.

I remember picking World of Goo up when it first launched. Still one of my favorite OG indies.

@gcunit If you check the timeframe, I post the news here before the site does. In some cases hours, other times days. If the site has reported it then I don't bother 99% of the time unless I can add something. Check it out, that's a fact! And it is not spam.

I think your behaviour has been terrible to put it mildly and I will be taking it up with others tomorrow as I'm busy and have to go out now. I'm very surprised because I don't normally have a problem with you and in large parts agree with much of what you say.

Perhaps I'm wrong but can you point out in the rules where it says "The forums aren't for posting news" please?

@Octane Yeah, you're right about the numbers. I really don't know, but my guess is that someone (writer of the article or whoever) didn't check all the facts before. And then there's the thing where you don't know how many responded of the 4000 that had the opportunity to answer the questions. Personally, I think it'd be mire interesting to see how many developers that are workingon games for the Switch.

I liked World of Goo. Anyone played Tomorrow Corp?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I've never had an issue with your posts. Not sure where the grievance lies. As far as I'm concerned, linking a video or a twit(?) is the best way of saying "OMG! XXXXX is coming to Switch!!" I may have even done it myself on occasion.

@GrailUK Tweet

But yeah, I agree, some of the stuff SLIGEACH_EIRE posts doesn't even end up getting reported on Nintendo Life, and it's not like they know what will and what won't. Of course, if the other option is starting a new thread to discuss each thing that's posted, but I'm not sure that's any better?

@link3710 Guess who has never twitted! (I would hate to guess what the past tense would be.)

That would honestly be better than what's been happening here. Many of his news posts don't seem to generate much discussion in this thread, they just break the flow of whatever the existing conversation is for readers. He rarely posts conversationally, he mostly posts in a 'Look! I've found a Switch article that's not been posted by NL yet' kinda way.

He can make a 'Sligeach_Eire's Breaking News' thread as far as I'm concerned, where he can spam each and every related article he likes.

I always appreciate his random news articles. Often times it's where I see some switch news first. Against the rules or not, I think it's helpful.

Saban is having a big reveal tomorrow for the Power Rangers 25th anniversary so anyone other than me think we could see some power rangers VC or possibly a new game for the switch?!

@MFD because the game doesnt lag or stutter nearly consistently enough for someone to cry about it so your [removed] must be broke.

I played 130 hours and had the game lag on me like 1 time towards the end in a blade combo.

Anyone playing Lost Sphear? Or are people just waiting for Bayonetta 1/2 and Dragon Quest Builders? I would say "Payday 2" as well but it's a much older game and a genre most Nintendo fans aren't big on. Though personally I think it'll be great now that it has solid AI for solo play.

@gcunit
He can make a 'Sligeach_Eire's Breaking News' thread

See, that's a brilliant idea. Anyone who wants to can sub to that thread, without forcing everyone to deal with it here (including the people who don't care... not that I see anything posted anyways but, I used to)

@GameOtaku We can only hope that a new anniversary game is coming, especially for Switch. If they can use Legacy Wars as a base and make a true fighting game for consoles with actual buttons, that would be great [though an action/adventure or RPG would be prefered by me].
