Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Ralizah I don't have idea either! T_T

I wish they release farther apart (around 2 weeks - 1 month, not 1 week...) so more people can try their games Q_Q

I want their games to success dang it!

Wolfenstein II and Ys VIII launch the same day. Sigh.

@Ralizah
And all 3 need to perform well.

Octopath Traveller to ensure Square Enix sees future JRPG's on Switch have a market.

Y's VIII because Falcomm was hesitant and only brought it thanks to NIS. This can make or break Falcomm support and the potential of Trails series to come over.

Shining Resonance to ensure Sega sees Switch as a quality investment for future multiplat releases.

And... all 3 are worthy games. All 3, if released by themselves, warrant a preorder. So any of them that get overlooked, that will be a real tragedy. Not to mention, Mario Tennis Aces drops June 22nd and Wolfenstein June 29th, and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker the exact same day as Octopath, and Crash Trilogy the exact same day as Shining Resonance!

Of course, Jax will diligently await the entire lot of them, day one. Mailman is gonna be hating me.

3 rpgs in such a short span is far worse then L.A. Noire, Skyrim, and Doom in the same week. Sure those are long games but 3 rpgs is suicidal.

Cant wait to buy Wolfenstein 2 and Ys VIII on the same damn day.

Sigh. Oh well!

Looking at Jaxon's list make me realise how bad it is...

I sometimes wish the big company talked with each other slightly to ensure they won't be stepping on each other shoes but I guess that's impossible

I’m incredibly unsure if I’m going to buy Wolfenstein 2 now. I had initially held out on buying the game on either PS4 or Xbox One so I could have it on Switch, but being someone who buys physical copies, the fact it requires a likely hefty download puts me off. I’m also hearing mixed reactions to it’s performance on the Switch.

@FragRed
If it runs as good as DOOM it'll be fine. I'm pretty confident they'll get it on par with DOOM. Even the beta build that was being played recently, IGN said it was totally playable, and that by no means did they feel it was subpar to the point people should avoid it. And they were the main ones pointing out little frame rate issues. If even they feel like it's not bad enough to stop people from playing then I don't think it's that big a deal.

But ya, there's a download. Price of doing business on Switch, unfortunately. But you still get the game on cart with a physical box that can go on a shelf. Judging by all other previous games it will still be playable without any download. They might just leave out some of the later stages or something. That's how LA Noire did it.

Motion controls... Handheld version... That's my cue

edit
eShop listing for Wolfenstein 2 states 13.7gb. We've known these preliminary sizes to be wrong (LA Noire for example). It could be the download size beyond the cartridge. That would be my guess.

Well, looks like I'll be waiting a month or two to pick up YS VIII and Shining Resonance then, but I definitely still plan on getting all 3.

Well that period just got significantly more congested on Switch. What a jam packed summer (and we still don't know a single release for August)!

@IceClimbers
Mega Man X Collection 1 and 2 also releases July 24th. And we know Okami HD is somewhere between now and then as well.

As for August, Little Dragon's Cafe releases August 24, Sonic Mania Plus August 28. But that's all we know.

Does anyone know whether the PS4/Xbox One version of Wolfenstein 2 has actual Swastikas as the Switch trailer seems to have removed them in place of something made up? Is this Nintendo still being Nintendo of old?

@JaxonH Yeah I can see Okami HD slotting in somewhere in July, with Senran Kagura somewhere in August.

August seems like a prime release month for Yoshi. Toss in something like De Blob Remastered, TWEWY: Final Remix, and maybe even Dark Souls Remastered and it's a damn good month.

@FragRed They have Swastikas. Switch version does too.

@IceClimbers Odd that the Switch trailer doesn't seem to use the Swastika then.

Everyone's rushing for June/July releases cos they know there's a f-tonne of shiny new hotness getting dropped post-E3!

(believed no Nintendo fan ever)

The ACG review for South Park: Fractured But Whole. I think I'm going to go ahead and buy it right now digitally. I'll worry about the space later

@gcunit
What's with your constant cynicism lately? We've already got a crap ton of releases dropping in that time. Why would we need even more dropping right after e3? Not that any company typically dumps half a dozen surprise games right after e3 anyways... but if somebody was going to make a surprise announcement it would probably be Nintendo, given Mario Rabbids was announced at e3 and released right after.

I don't get your deal man. You complain people just talk about Wii U ports. People talk about other games and you mock them for talking about that. Seems you're just really unhappy when people talk about games they're excited for, no matter what they are

@FragRed
Nintendo of old.

Ah, that ain't no swastika, that's totally a pinwheel. Totally.

@Hallonblad @EvilLucario The symbol itself exists for longer than the World War II. You can find plenty of them in old temples in South-East Asia; a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
