Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Late The SNK Collection is heaven-sent. Looking amazing. Can't wait to hear more details. Please be the nudge the likes of SEGA, Capcom, Konami, Taito, Cave, ToaPlan etc need to get their arcade legacies onto the Switch.

Pretty cool SNK collection. I'm really digging these retro collections(Street Fighter, Mega Man, SNK, Genesis(bring this to Switch, SEGA) etc.) Much prefer this versus having to buy retro games piece meal.

So, I tried playing with the Switch in handheld, table top mode. You know, the little stand pulled up and the Joy-Cons detached. I can see how versatile it is for multi-player, however, It's uncomfortable as heck (for me anyway) trying to play it single player. Then again, never actually played the Switch.... On a tabletop.

I love tabletop. Super comfy propping it up on its kickstand and leaning back in a chair with Joycon in each hand

@subpopz
I don't think he means there's something wrong with it, just that it'll get ignored.

@FireMario887 How is it uncomfortable? You're not meant to sit on it, you know?

@subpopz September is a crowded month on PS4 because of everything avoiding Red Dead. This'll get ignored on there as a result. Launches the same day as Spider-Man too.

Switch on the other hand doesn't have anything else confirmed for September. August is a complete mystery too.

The PS4 version apparently isn't getting a standard physical release, just the more expensive special edition, so it seems like they were expecting most of their sales from the Switch version anyways.

Went to buy food. Came back with L.A. Noire.

@Grumblevolcano I wouldn’t go that far.

@Late lol

It's all a matter of priorities!

I wouldn’t taste that cartridge if I were you

Don't worry, I bought food too. No need to eat the cartridge, as tempting as it is.

I played the first 30 minutes and had trouble seeing in the dark. I tried to change the brightness settings but it didn't really help all that much. I hope it doesn't become a problem later on. I could also play on my TV and see if that helps.

@Late Dont worry too much, the opening scene is one of the few in the dark. There is others but most are during the day.

@Spoony_Tech Good to know. Thanks.

My problem with the game, both on the Xbox 360 and the Switch, is that I still really struggle to know whether someone is telling the truth or not. I’m usually wrong.

@Qwertyninty Well September's really busy anyway, for Switch you have the paid online service with Smash likely releasing at the same time and for XB1 MCC will probably be fixed by then so waiting wouldn't really be an issue if I did decide to.

Ya I might hold off on TR also. I never even finished Rise of the Tomb Raider, so why rush to buy the next if there's no hybrid incentive... Could always come with a year late Switch version, and if not, it'll be ultra cheap by then with a GotY version anyways.

Wolfenstein 2 gyro controls confirmed day one

There it is

Like a modern day Jack and the Beanstalk

Wolfenstein having gyro aiming is great news. Now we just need a release date!

Wolf 2 really looks to be the culmination of everything they've learned.

I take back all my skepticism toward Panic Button. Seems they just had to go though a learning curve. But it also proves I wasn't wrong- games could indeed look better and play better than Rocket League and DOOM day one.

Now we see Wolf 2 and it looks better than either of those games, comes complete with gyro hybrid control scheme... this is it. Panic Button has graduated top of their class. Every game from them moving forward should be top shelf quality.
