Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Guilty Gear (original) is coming to Nintendo Switch.

Except it looks somewhat generic. Just looking at it tells me that this rumor may not be real after all.
That's not to say that I'm not interested in the game, though. I would actually love to see more of it.

Ugh, no, no editing the land, that wouldn't feel like Animal Crossing at all. I'd like to go back to having cliffs in town but I don't think we should be editing the terrain at all. Planting trees, bushes, flowers, etc? Putting in fountains and windmills and even cafes? Fine. But no moving the river or drawing the cliffs and ponds. Part of the fun of Animal Crossing is learning to live with your town's unique layout.

@MisterPi Yeah, it would be nice to properly be able to play it. Unlike the 3DS buttons, both the Joy-Con and pro controller don't wear down quickly from playing Warriors games so I'd be able to choose the controls option I wanted. It was fun from what little I played but the past year and a half has been an unsure state of whether to get a replacement New 3DS XL or just use my current New 3DS XL as a strategy RPG machine.

I think I'm in the minority that would enjoy such a game, if it existed? But really the crux of my enjoyment would be how similar to DKR it would be. I loved how that game had a hub world and "bosses"

I believe Star Fox Grand Prix is real. And no, I don't think it's a spin off, but rather Retro's interpretation of what Star Fox should be. A genre change doesn't necessarily make it a spin off (see: God of War).

Rage 2 isn't coming to Switch.

wouldn't be surprised if it was coming 2019 for Switch. just like Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was for 2018.

No Switch? Ah well, I have little to no interest in RAGE 2 compared to their other games. I might have tried it out if it came over though.

I imagine they started making it before they had their hands on Switch hardware, and before they found out sales for Skyrim/Doom (are they good for Switch? I think they were happy with them?). I think this is another case of "eh, started it before we even knew what we'd be working with"

Obviously, grain of salt and all that but this would be great for the switch if true:

I'm not a cod guy myself but would certainly be a another great thing to add to the switch portfolio. Guess we will find out in a few days!

If that's the case I assume that the other rumors about it just being the cross platform battle royale mode to be likely as well. As long as they don't price it the same as the full versions, I'd be fine with that. But they will.

@MisterPi Development for RAGE 2 started in 2012 and was paused for awhile right? So that sounds reasonable, considering it's been in development longer than Doom or Wolfenstein 2. Still who knows, we may see another Panic Button port.

@link3710 Much rather have any version of Fallout first but we shall see if Bethesda is serious about being on Switch day one with this. Like you said though, hard to tell when it's been in development for so long.

If that Star Fox spin-off is true, I quit.

For now. I don’t trust publishers to release Switch info in a timely manner anymore. But I dont want to end up double dipping any more. I have already done so a few times. (Okami, crash, ys) so I will give them a year after the twins before I go buy anything that could be multiplat.

Sorry to slightly diverge the discussion here, but I have a question for those of you with a Switch. Can you save games and game data initially to the Switch internal memory, later get a microSD card, and then transfer the games and game data from the Switch internal memory to the microSD card? For example, can I buy Splatoon 2 digitally to the Switch internal memory, buy an microSD card later, and then transfer the Splatoon game data to the SD card without starting over?

Also, when you do get an SD card, how does the Switch interpret it? In other words, can you only save games and game data to the SD card once you have it, or can you save data to both the internal storage and SD card?

@shadow-wolf Save game data is stored solely on the internal storage. Once you get a MicroSD all games are saved to the SD card, though any you downloaded prior to that will remain on storage and you will need to delete and re-download them to get them on the SD Card.
Though randomly some update data cant decide where it wants to go

I posted this in the Wolfenstein II article but I guess here I have better chance of finding the answer.
Could someone explain to me this:
If I download the 2nd half of the game on my SD card. Could I make a backup of that file(files) and then in the future use that backup to play the game without internet?
I mean I have the cartridge and have the download part on SD card away. If I combine them could I play the game off the cart + the extra stuff without having internet?
Is this how it works or I am very wrong?
I ask this because I do not have SD card and I do not download games for now. I know about the digital games but I do not know if my account will play any role in this extra MANDATORY download.

Currently I am testing this theory with Skyrim on cartridge and its updates on 2GB SD card. I want to know if the mandatory updates and data are NOT locked behind my Nintendo account. I can just put my Skyrim cartridge (or Wolfenstein for example) and the 2GB SD card in different Switch and they will work right from the start without Internet connection?

Update: It worked for Skyrim. Now I need to know if it will work with a games that can't be played right from the cartridge.

@Zuljaras As long as the game doesn't require an internet connection you will be fine. Rocket League for instance can't be played without one.
