Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

What...?!
Update the software from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or from LABO ?

@Anti-Matter Mario Kart.

I was definitely not joking (unfortunately...)

Seems like a summer release was a bit generous for Dark Souls...

Whenever I hear a season as the release window I just always assume it's the last possible technical week of the season. That's how it usually tends to go, at least lol

@Tsurii Didn't summer just start, like last week? That's almost 3 months left!

@Knuckles-Fajita Always look on the bright side of life, eh?

@TheLobster If I expect the worst I cant possibly be disappointed.

@Knuckles-Fajita It can always be worse than you imagine. But I'm expecting dark souls around the beginning of August.

@Ryu_Niiyama That's as long as I'll wait before giving up and getting it cheaper on PS4.

Because it will be cheaper when the Switch release happens.

@Knuckles-Fajita Yeah...that's the only issue with switch, but I don't expect devs to take a hit when the cartridge prices aren't normalized yet. But it does get annoying sometimes. Still it is Dark Souls on the go... the portability is pretty much the only reason I finish games now.

@Ryu_Niiyama Oh, it wont be because of carts. Hell in the EU, Nintendo is the publisher!

It'll be cheaper because lets be honest, when the Switch release happens, it'll be on sale elsewhere.

It's funny how hype for Dark Souls Remastered completely dropped like a rock when the Switch version got delayed. Heh.

Well, the hype was there, people bought it, it was a remaster, and now they beat it. Makes sense that hype would disappear. Even for the Switch version since we have no new info regarding when it's even coming.

So...new trailer out, shows off the X Challenge and there is an interesting tidbit.

The X5 Mavericks use their Japanese names.

My favourite part was when Neon Tiger clung to the tiny wall that is the side of the platform immersed in lava, while shooting Ray Splashers not even remotely aimed at X.

For anyone wondering why the UK doesn't have a very high Nintendo presence, behold a tweet from a branch of our only game retailer on the high street.

Yep, Crash Bandicoot comes out this Friday on PS4 and Xbox One. Its been on one for a year and no mention of the other two platforms.

I’m loving Fortnite in handheld mode. I played the game once at a friends house, didn’t think much of it. But now, playing it curled up on the bench is a game changer. Probably my new favorite game playing in handheld mode. Love it!

Well, someone at that GAME Store obviously doesn't like Nintendo. Either that or the intern got the job of social media. The comments are pretty much doing their job for them in correcting it.

@Spanjard I find it great for playing while watching the World Cup. I tend to bide my time when playing solo, so it's quite easy to split my attention between the TV and the Switch.
