Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I love good pixel graphics, but Celeste's low-detail pixel art is a bit of a turn off.

The music seems pretty solid, though. Too bad the asking price is so high.

Secret of Mana may come, down the line.

But Square Enix talks about bringing alot of games to Switch, even when they're held hostage by other companies, which means I don't put much stock into what they say. DQ Builders is already releasing on Switch even despite a sequel being worked on, no excuse for a newer game.

Like Final Fantasy XIV, which they said will only come if there's cross platform play, something Sony will intentionally withhold to prevent the game coming to other platforms... more evidence of tactics used for those who still somehow think they don't do everything in their power to get as many games on their console and stay off others)

@JaxonH About that "No excuse for a newer game" regarding DQ Builders...

Guess whats coming to Switch?

@YummyHappyPills
Huh?

I was going to wait and get Celeste further down the line but those reviews are making it hard to resist. I just bought Zero Gunner 2 and Earth Wars last night and planned to get Strikers 1945 II and Space Dave today. I think I'll change that to Strikers and Celeste. I'll be buying it from the US Eshop though as it's only £14 when converted, a saving of £4.

@JaxonH Dragon Quest Builders 2 was confirmed for Switch and PS4 you know.

We aren't getting the first game and that's it. Its the first game and then the second at hopefully the same time as the PS4 release.

@YummyHappyPills Ehm, good sir, you're kinda wrong there: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/dragon-quest-builders-s... I've got it pre-ordered.

@MFD Kind of wrong on what?

I said we are getting not just the first game like Jax said. We are getting the first game and then, at a later date, in future, hopefully at the same time as the PS4, the second game: Dragon Quest Builders 2.

@YummyHappyPills DQ2 is already confirmed. Also this was your quote "We aren't getting the first game and that's it."

@MFD Did you read the second sentence there buddy?

We call that a British turn of phrase.

"You aren't just getting X and calling it a day"

"You aren't just getting Dragon Quest Builders and that's it, no more for you."

That's what I meant.

And yes, DQB2 is confirmed. That's what I was correcting him on, as he didn't seem to know that.

IGN gives XBC2 an 8.5 and this piece of indie trash gets a 10/10 screw this game.

"Indie trash"

Aight. Seems people can't share opinions respectfully now.

@YummyHappyPills I'm afraid you had me derp then. At any rate, I'm looking forward to builders.

Folded already and bought Celeste there.I tried using my Revolut card on the US Eshop but it didn't work, I was able to use it on Amazon US though to buy a $20 Eshop code which worked out great as it costs $19.99.

For UK Switch owners I highly recommend making a a Revolut account and a South African Nintendo account and buying your games from there. Games are always cheaper on there than the UK shop. They work out a little more expensive than the US Eshop but to buy from there you need to purchase a US Eshop code off Amazon which only come in set amounts. So you can't just pay the exact price for the game. Making a Revolut account is very straightforward, there's no foreign transaction fees and conversion is done at the live rates. Everything about Revolut is brilliant actually. It's going to save me a fortune when I get back to Thailand. No ATM charge, no crappy conversions from the bank, no PayPal fees for receiving money for my business,live 24hr chat support through the app. Love it.

PixARK is coming to the Switch later in the year.

PixARK - Official Trailer!

@MFD Its okay. Most people just ignore me or misread a lot of what I say.

I'll need to start prefacing each post with an explanation of my lack of social skills and dictionary definitions for every idiom I use.

That Doom sale is tempting.

Second chapter done. You can add story and characters to the list of things I like about Celeste. And the music and visuals are making me emotional. This is something special.

I bought the game with the mindset of "I'm sure it's a great game. I really liked how Towerfall controlled but I still wish Towerfall would have come first because that's probably going to be the better game." but now I'm really loving it. I want to take it slow and enjoy every moment. It has already been worth the 20€ for me.

Sorry for constantly gushing about it but I'm in love.

Pixark looks interesting to me. Might be good pick up nd ply for a little bit. WWE2K18 is my favorite Switch 3rd party game. The patch in my opinion have improved things. I do need to go back and look at intros to see if they are improved but gameplay is more than playable. My son loves playing the game with me. Good times!

@YummyHappyPills
Ya I know. That's precisely my point. They're bringing newer games and older games, which shows they can bring any game they want.
