Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@JaxonH I'll get South Park but not at launch. Knowing Ubisoft, its price will be halved if I wait a month or two.

Quick question about LEGO Worlds Switch.
Does the Switch version also feature the DLCs such as Retro 1950's Diner, Festive, etc like on PS4, Xbox 1 & PC ?
Is Switch version has Touch screen feature ?
I'm kinda temptated with Boxing Gym from Diner 1950's DLC, But i need to know if LEGO Worlds is really worthy with those DLCs.

@Late good thinking, I’m on the fence so I may hold off until the price comes down

Can't believe the amount of text discussing that list. No original source given? You guys are such suckas

@Yumyums - EA can say they're waiting for first year install base figures, but that doesn't mean that's what they're actually doing. If they want a FIFA 19 on Switch, they'll get it done. They've made a few by now, I think they know how to do it.

@Anti-Matter Lego Worlds doesn't utilise touch screen. It does get DLC but I don't keep tabs on whether it gets exactly the same DLC on all platforms. My guess is that it does though.

What's the lineup for April? Just South Park? I guess it's the final stretch to DKC then. It seems so far away... yet so close I can taste it.

@gcunit
We're discussing it's potential validity, which is usually what people tend to do. I don't think anybody's a sucker for debating whether something is valid. But the original Reddit post would be helpful, something IGN failed to provide. I can promise you though if that was the screenshot originally posted, there's no possible way someone could predict all that.

So, either the screenshot isn't original... or it's real. There's absolutely no in between on this. Unfortunately it seems nobody has cared enough to do the proper research and link to the original post reported on, not even the sites reporting it.

As unlikely as such a huge list is, and as unlikely as some of those games seem, you have to prove it with evidence or disprove it with evidence (unfortunately people tend to go with gut reactions, which have led me to be wrong countless times- data should drive decisions). So until someone bothers to dig up the original post IGN referred to, all we can do is discuss what we see. The original post is needed. Our entire discussion centers around it. Maybe yummypills will dig it up for us. He seemed particularly anxious to disprove it, which is good because usually it takes a little motivation to research. Goodness knows I don't have it lol.

Very excited for South Park myself. I'm not the biggest fan of the show but the first game was perhaps one of my favourites on the 360. Very happy I put off buying it until now - in fact it looks like I might do this with any third party title that has a reasonable chance of coming to Switch for the foreseeable future.

The plot thickens.

Very interesting list. Were games that were announced for Switch this month(ex. Everspace and Ark) on this list when it was made back in February? Not doubting this list yet, but some of these "leakers" can be tricky with that kind of stuff.

But I will say a lot of this is possible. I don't think the Pokemon games will be called Nuclear and Chemical though, lol. The names for the Diamond and Pearl remakes sound realistic though. Earthbound Collection would be huge. I still think Nintendo will release Mother 3 in the west.

And can we talk about Punchout!! meets MadWorld?

@KryptoKrunch
Ark wasn't, but who knows when the list was originally compiled, or the last time it was updated.

Spyro Treasure Trilogy was just confirmed hours ago to be real, and that was a game on the list with the exact same title.

Not sure how people can explain that one away.

Can you prove the list of nindies were there before the nindies presentation? Otherwise it is quite possible they were added after the fact, since imgur doesn't report edits.

To me the list feels like the usual fake leak lists. Add some games that have already been revealed (Yoshi, pokémon), sprinkle in with likely franchise games (DK, mario kart, animal crossing, 2d mario etc), add some outrageous games (The Simpsons: Hit & Run HD, Baby Mario & Friends: Yoshi Circle, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival DX) and some fan favorites (Phoenix Wright, bad spelling for good measures). Oh, and a picture that is one hundred percent worthless.

Stated by Laura before, a person that actually have connections in the industry.

And this is why it is BS. The person adds stuff when it has been confirmed. To legitimize the list. How did the original list look like?

"*Punch-Out!! Meets MadWorld In Pato Box"

The title is just "Pato Box". They just copy pasted titles of articles for their list.

"*Phoenix Right: Ace Attorney - Guilty Until Innocent"

Why would he post a list of leaks on a image share site like imgur? So he can upload a random image of nothing and confuse everyone with the upload date while editing in the text as things are announced in Directs

Also, bilines for games aren't often thought up until far into the game's development as part of marketing, (See: Kirby Star Allies) the bilines for many of these games are just absurd, (TLoZ: A Link Across Islands) some games appear on the list at least twice, and many titles on that list are worked on by the same development team, (see how many mario, pokemon, zelda, sonic, mii games are all listed) many of which work on one game at a time and don't even think about the next game until their current one is done.

@Therad
That could indeed explain it.

I guess that begs the question though, when did she say something and did she specify "Treasure Trilogy".

I recall her saying a trilogy was coming but not the name. But I wasn't paying very close attention either.

@Blathers
Thank you for digging up the original post.

Unfortunately I can't get that Dropbox image to load on my phone. Maybe someone else can analyse it.

edit
Got it to load. That's a dang good catch. I'd say almost definitive proof against it. If the name Treasure Trilogy was mentioned before that Target listing I think we can close the book on it.

Someone posted the list in /v/ a few hours ago and they tore the crap out of it

Fixed the post @JaxonH

The list maker has added pre-existing leaks, speculations, mentions of developer interest, (like Jeff Kaplan saying he likes the Switch) outrageous fan desires, and post-Direct edits to make it all seem legit, but there's holes on all fronts that easily disprove any credibility this list has.

Should apply for a job at IGN. Seem to have done better work than their own reporters forming conclusions from data driven research. You read articles from sites and you would assume it's been vetted properly...

But you would be assuming wrong.

I know who I'm tagging next time we need to investigate a rumor or leak. Just tag Blathers. He'll dig the truth out lol

First rule of the internet: unless there's foolproof proof, assume it's fake.

Ooh, Fire Emblem Warriors is finally getting video capture support. Bout time. Idk what's taking so long. Better late than never though, just in time for the Awakening DLC.

Read Hori is making a left Joycon with a Dpad also? But doesn't have Bluetooth so only works in handheld mode, and doesn't have motion or HD rumble...

Come on. How hard is it to just make a legit Joycon.

@JaxonH This is good for those of us that don't want to shell out $50 for half a controller when all we want is a workable D-Pad in handheld mode. I don't want my cheap D-Pad alternative joycon to have a bunch of expensive tech in it that isn't relevant to the games that need a D-Pad in the first place.

@Ralizah
Ya, but I would prefer to have one controller that serves all purposes.

Basically, would rather it not be a cheap Dpad alternative but a proper Joycon that just so happens to have a Dpad.

I still see it being useful, especially at a lower price, but it means swapping out when needed as opposed to having one permanent joycon
