Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Isn't that like saying sonic mania wont do well on switch because of mario. Sonic team racing will do well.

@Grumblevolcano Nah, strongly doubt Mario Kart will have that much of an effect on it. I think it's more likely to get buried on other platforms because of a bunch of other titles stealing attention, whether that's Red Dead this fall or Kingdom Hearts and Anthem early next year

@kobashi100 No and we've seen the effects of Mario Kart on Sonic racing games before. The Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed community completely disappeared when Mario Kart 8 came out, this time Mario Kart came first so Team Sonic Racing has less of chance with the Switch community.

I expect Mega Man 11 to do well, assuming people in the EU know its on the system of course...simply due to the climate late September/early October on the other systems being a swamp.

Not buying the notion the game won't sell well on switch.

I think Team Sonic Racing will do well on Switch. I'd say the biggest threat to it being overlooked is Starfox Grand Prix, if that does turn out to be true and launches this year.

It's odd because I am a PS4 owner, have never owned an Xbox and associate Xbox more with the kinds of games I don't like, but I feel like I would have gotten way more out of this conference if I had watched it than say Sony's conference last year which bored me to tears.

They even showed Kingdom Hearts III. Oh well. I'll probably skip out on Sony's conference. I feel like KHIII was the only thing they'd have to show of interest to me, and Xbox hogged that spotlight. Very weird to me still that game is coming out on Xbox One.

Where did my post go?

@TheLobster Weird. I did see you post a few minutes ago. I cannot check deleted posts unfortunately (if that's even a feature for mods).

OK well as I said the Microsoft conference was quite good. Complete 180 from EA's. They showed off lots of games, gameplay, and trailers. There was a little too much investor speak though and they stretched the meaning of "exclusive" past the breaking point. I'm really looking forward to seeing that Tunic game come to the Switch (I'm assuming it will). A few others as well. Overall I'd give it a very high B+, like 89/100.

I can't imagine what would prompt a mod to delete my post. There wasn't any profanity in it. I was just grading the press conference. I graded EA's last night and I figured I'd continue the trend for the rest of E3. shrug

@TheLobster Tunic is a console launch exclusive, so hopefully that means a Switch release at a later date.

Yes I saw that, that's why I've got my fingers crossed! It's a very cute looking game!

@TheLobster
Btw, i didn't watch the Microsoft presentation but judging from people's comments here, i bet there are NO Games that will impressed me from Microsoft, right ?
Because you know what i'm looking for from video games....

@Anti-Matter No I think you might like Tunic. Do you like Legend of Zelda? Like Link to the Past, top-down, Zelda? It is a very cute, fox version of Zelda.

Also there was an anime Smash Bros. with Goku (so shut up, nerds!!!! ) and Goku is very buff!

@TheLobster
Smash Bros Anime ??
It just only on Anime, right ? Not in the game ?
Tunic ? Hm...
Is that Xbox 1 exclusive ?

Edit: Oh, Tunic is Xbox 1 exclusive. Not interested after i saw from Google image.

@Anti-Matter

@Anti-Matter There was Ori and the Will of the Whisp (XB1/PC I assume), The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit (XB1/PS4/PC and it's free), Cuphead DLC, Tunic (PC/XB1) and maybe Tales of Vesperia (No clue on platforms)

@Anti-Matter The anime Smash Bros. looking game is called "Jump Force" and there's no word on whether or not it's an Xbox exclusive. They didn't say it was, so presumably it is coming to PS4 too. It's all sorts of anime characters from One Piece to Dragonball to Death Note and it's a 2D fighter like Smash Bros.

Tunic is not an exclusive, but it will launch first on Xbox. I know it's also coming to Steam, but it may also come to PS4 and Switch. It's an indie title.

I heard Tales of Vesperia is actually coming to Switch. Guess we will find out Tuesday.

@TheLobster Where'd you see that Jump Force will be a 2D fighter?
