Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@rallydefault I once saw a massive rant on Gamespot back when Dark Souls was first rumoured to be coming to the Switch and man did he/she go mental. I mean, they really did not want this game near a kids toy because Nintendo gamers don't deserve the game under any circumstances. Will have to see if I can dig it up.

@FragRed I recall that.

It was someone when the footageof the DS3 DLC was mistakenly labelled as on Switch and someone in the commentswas saying "Look the baby system cant even manage the 30fps and the textures are all muddy".

Then Gamespot corrected their mistake.it was the PS4 version.

Popcorn was enjoyed.

@JaxonH It depends. It's coming over from mobile, so there may be people migrating from that, and these people will start at the same level as completely new people. You can probably already guess what issues that can bring.

That aside, the fact that Nintendo will have nearly no means of communication may actually be a good thing here. Yes it limits what you can do when communicating with randoms, but those don't communicate much as is, and the idea of them having no chat nor voice-chat to use as harassment tools sound pretty good.

@YummyHappyPills There are a few who really don't like such games ever being on a "none mature" console. They must have been dropped on their head when a baby or something because that's is really sad to see, but also kinda funny.

@FragRed Isn't that a case of what one would call: To each their own? I can see why people look at Labo and think "I don't hope this is being developed while something else is being delayed/taken away from...."

@MFD Maybe if you are talking about first party titles, but Dark Souls is third party so it wouldn't affect resources, plus it is a game coming to other platforms at the same time so the team are fully focused on this project rather than being pulled away from something else.

Also mentions that PS4 sales have surpassed that of 3DS.

@FragRed Where did Dark Souls come from? I meant anything within Nintendo.

...and such people often (conveniently) forget that 'kiddy' stuff like Skylanders, Little Big Planet, Disney Infinity, Sing Star, LEGO Dimensions, Just Dance (etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.) all come to the ultra-super-duper-hard-pro-core consoles as well!

Guess what, it's 2018 - and in 'the future', KIDS PLAY CONSOLE GAMES TOO! (..and your favourite publisher probably has a product line specifically for that market!)

All Nintendo have done with Labo is inject a fresh new type of creativity in to the genre - they haven't reinvented the wheel - and they're far from the only ones to have a line targeting a younger audience!

@NaviAndMii To be fair, it is a lot easier to take shots at Nintendo because the first party line up is more aimed towards the kids market than those of either Sony and Microsoft, as well as the fact it doesn't get all the mature third party support. So on a Nintendo console, the kiddy image is far more obvious to see than the other two.

Millie is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

A joyful, casual puzzle game that will tease both your wits and your memory!

A couple of games listed on the eShop for next week...

That Space Dave is a great little game. Really enjoyed what I played of it there. I can see myself coming back to it again and again. The music and sound effects are fantastic. If you like retro shoot-em-ups then for sure you'll like this one.

With it being made by Choice Provisions, the makers of the Bit Trip series and Runner I knew it would be a good one.

lol that is a beautiful little tale.

The internet needs to die. I don't mean that, but I kind of mean that.

Can we just go back to magazines and regional gatherings? lol

@rallydefault This was a thing even during the magazine years, people were fanboys on the school playgrounds and letters in gaming magazines were equally as nasty towards other platforms, it just wasn't as bad as today because every article on every website has the ability to leave a comment and sites have learned how to create traffic and comment wars via clickbait articles.

@FragRed
Yea, the comments are what get ya.

I lived a charmed life back in the 80s and 90s, though. I always had Nintendo and some of my closest friends had Sega and later Sony and Microsoft, but there was never any animosity or anything close to it. We all enjoyed playing different stuff on the different consoles. Was kinda the best possible world lol

@rallydefault Being I am in the UK, I don't think I ever knew anyone that owned a Nintendo console aside from a couple with a Game Boy. If you owned a console it was the Master System then the Mega Drive as a general rule. Think the first time I remember people owning a home console from Nintendo was the N64. They used to advertise the Goldeneye package at £99.99 all the time on TV. Good days, still my favourite retro console. So much nostalgia for me and I owned the PS1 while my brother owned the Nintendo 64.

My close group of friends generally have no reservations with systems, except one guy who absolutely LOATHES Sony.

Makes a strong deterrent from the internet where its animosity on top of disgust. Heck even my university time was like that.

@FragRed Had about 3 or 4 in my year at secondary school who also had a SNES. Most others had Mega Drives before moving on to the PlayStation.

@antster1983 Yeah almost everyone had a PlayStation. But to be fair, most people also hacked their PlayStation so that did help.
