Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Captain Toad has a demo in Japan and the new trailer shows there's at least 4 Odyssey kingdoms present in the full game:

Metro Kingdom (confirmed back in January)
Sand Kingdom
Cascade Kingdom
Luncheon Kingdom

@JTMnM I dont' think Blizzard really cares for the Switch. And i'm not talking Overwatch here. I think that if they had plans for supporting the console we'd already have a port of Diablo III, StarCraft II or at least Hearthstone by now.

@Syndrome Thanks for the reply. It's really too bad. The platform would greatly benefit from their support. Having games like Smash and Overwatch on the same console is a dream too good to be true, I guess!

No news on whether or not we can expect that in EU as well? I'm on the fence for this and a demo could definitely help me decide.

@JTMnM No need to thank me. It's not like I provided any solid information or anything. Just my opinion on the matter.
You're welcome though.

For some reason, after i watched from trailer and compared with my experience about Super Mario 3D World, the gameplay of Captain Toad was similar with Super Mario 3D World but Baby Step version (Captain Toad can't run as fast as Toad 3D World version, the worlds are compressed into tiny island, once i cleared the Stage i don't think i want to Replay again that same Stage).

@toiletduck You could create a Japanese account and download from the Japanese eShop. It's fairly hassle-free.

I've just had a go at the demo and I'm loving it. I never got it on the Wii U as I never felt it had enough depth as a console retail game...but I can see myself playing this a lot on the go.

Me likewise really. I have the Wii U version and obviously it has that Nintendo/Toad charm, but I haven't found it much fun to play and haven't progressed past about the 10th level.

@toiletduck It's available now.

@JTMnM Diablo 3 is getting a rerelease on PS4 and Xbox One though.

@GameOtaku Unlikely. The console manufacturers are famously strict about offering refunds on almost anything you purchase from them digitally.

At least Switch isn't getting buried alive under half-finished open access games like Steam.

Captain Toad is getting four new worlds? That's a ton of new content.

Let's hope Valkyria Chronicles1 gets localized on Switch. If anything I can play on GPD Win along with the 2nd and 3rd with English fan patch, but I'd much prefer it on Switch.

I think this thread is overdue a name change to The GPD Win Thread

@JaxonH Based on the article, it's four levels (which are all, of course, very short), and they come at the cost of SM3DW inspired levels.

So utterly underwhelming if you owned the game on Wii U, although it's still more new content than we got in the Tropical Freeze port.

Man's a walking advertisement (Then again I'm no better half the time!).

Based on his work stories he has a knack for selling just about anything to anyone.

Let's hope he stops talking about his wild years before he starts subliminally selling illicit substances XD

@JaxonH
You bought a lot of Original games on every consoles and handhelds, but still want to play pirated games with GPD + Emulator ?
Who are you ?

@Ralizah Too bad it's not DLC for the Wii U game. I want to play the new levels, but I'm not buying the game again for only four levels. I guess I'll just look them up on YouTube!

@Ralizah
4 little diorama worlds seems more than I was expecting. I thought it was just 1.

How many were in the game originally? Can't have been that many.

@Anti-Matter
Dude, please. Yes I use emulators, and always will. THAT DOESNT MEAN I DONT BUY MY GAMES. So please dont sit here and try to scold me for something you know nothing about. I already bought Valkyria Chronicles 2 on Vita. So guess what? I'm gonna emulate it. Even if I WANTED to buy a second time, I can't, cause they don't sell it on PC. So ya, emulation it is. And the 3rd game never came west and isn't in English without a fan patch. So ya, I'm emulating. And I dont lose an ounce of sleep because of it.

@JaxonH Around 70 to 80 levels depending on how you count. The fourth book had a bunch of weird levels, like that 50-floor dungeon, I guess that counts as a level too.

@Octane
That many? So basically 8 10-stage worlds (in Mario terms). Which means half a world added in. That's pretty good for a straight port, which I never expect anything extra for really, aside from DLC to be included.
