Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Ralizah yeah, smash is the only fg without a story mode now, well unless you count ki which says it had story mode but it's really just arcade mode with an ending cutscene. .... Like sf2 had 30 years ago.... Even tekken 7 has story mode with waaay too lengthy cutscenes, and that's a game with no tutorial training. The board game was offensive.

The starting roster (and likely stage select) is probably one of the biggest reasons why people want a story mode in Smash Ultimate. If you're going to lock away around 60 fighters and 70 stages at the start, the unlock process needs to be fun.

"Focus on multiplayer" only works if there's very few unlocks that affect gameplay.

@ReaderRagfish
I'm just amazed at the new possibilities for getting angry people seem to come up with every day lol

Lego Harry Potter Collection could be coming to switch.

Any idea what happened to Gunbird 2? Why was it removed? When will it be back?!

Just completed Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (did two runs, a Normal/Casual then a Normal/Veteran)!

Don't have too much experience with Castlevania proper, but I enjoyed this. Game had a cool atmosphere, and even though it got tough, at no point did it feel unfair. I really enjoyed the bosses especially.

I've decided to do a little breakdown of the whole Spyro thing and the 3 instances of "Evidence" that it's coming.

1: YouTubers say so: C'mon. Do I need to explain this one?

2: The official Spyro site: Okay this one is also simple. That website is a direct copy and paste plus reskin of the Crash one, complete with, for a time, crates at the bottom of the page. Those pre-order links for PC and Switch, when people examined the source code, were referenced to Crash Bandicoot. End of this story.

3: The Nintendo UK Store: This is the most popular point but...people need to understand what that site actually is.

It is a website that is run on behalf of Nintendo UK, by a subsidiary of a large retail group (All payments, shipments etc. are via that group) that only sells Nintendo published titles.

You might be saying, oh it has Yokai Watch, Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, Skyrim etc. up there. Yeah, who published that in Europe again? Nintendo.

Heck, even Crash wasn't on there.

So why do people suddenly believe that a listing for a game with the wrong name and price, when it clearly isn't being distributed by Nintendo, on a website run by a branch of a larger company hired BY Nintendo that only sells Nintendo things, is evidence that it's coming?

Seriously? Did we not think that through for a moment?

@Knuckles-Fajita What I imagine your room looks like:

@Knuckles-Fajita

I see what you're saying, but even ignoring those two site postings, it's just to hard to not imagine Spyro NOT coming to Switch(and PC). Especially after how well Crash on Switch did even in the UK. At this point, does it it look like the Switch and PC versions will launch alongside the other versions? No, but worse case scenario we get it around September next year.

So those site postings could've been hastily made, but at least there's something behind it. At least it's not like those monthly Direct "leaks" we get or other random rumors.

@Octane Nah it's more like one line from obvious point A to obvious point B, then conclusion XD

@KryptoniteKrunch I'll word it like this. It could come next year. But these three reasons are not the evidence that it is.

That's nonsense. Evidence doesnt have to be conclusive proof in and of itself. All it has to do is support an increase in the statistical likelihood something is true.

One of those things by themselves? Sure, that could be random chance and nothing more. But TWO different sites listing it? I dont give a crap who runs the store- the odds of TWO sites listing it drastically improves the odds of it being true.

I'm a numbers guy. And given the evidence (and yes it is most definitely evidence) I'd say the odds are more likely than not.

But please, continue hamfisting excuses denying even the most obvious so you're never disappointed.

Is it possible it was just a double mistake by two entirely separate sites that just so happened to both let slip the exact same game that's not actually coming? Suuuure... its possible. It's also possible unicorns fart rainbows on the moon, but I find it highly unlikely.

@JaxonH So are you saying unicorns existed all along? Damn, where have I been?

@JaxonH Well, time to buy six of them.

@Knuckles-Fajita

Nintendo UK represents a big portion of The Huts business, though they are growing, and they don't do anything without permission. Oh and Crash is on there.

https://store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-switch-game/crash-bandi...

If it is, it is. If not, oh well I was wrong. Dont particularly care.

Either way as much as I would want to buy that game on Switch, I won't. I'm past the point where late ports or more expensive pirts are acceptable, unless its a game from before the system came out obviously.

So sorry Spyro, you're staying on my PS4. Moneybags aint getting me this time.

If I get Spyro, it would be for Switch or PC (which I'm sure is gonna come too eventually). If I'm going to play it at 30fps, I might as well do it on my Switch instead of the PS4/Xbox where if I wanted graphical fidelity and a higher framerate, I'll use my PC.

I don't mind waiting anyway, too many games to replay and play.

We’re definitely going to see something from Activision on the Switch in the years to come. Unless if they decide to revive Skylanders, I think there’ll be a new Crash game within the next 2 years which will probably have a Switch port. And I see Spyro doing the same and both becoming biannual series. (One year Crash, One year Spyro) Will we see a Switch port of the Spyro games? Probably

Why are we even talking about Spyro not coming to the Switch? It will happen as it's a perfect fit like Crash was. This is just Activision trying to milk extra sales from the Switch version from double dipping is all. Buy it here first then so many months from now enjoy it again on the go.

The logic behind Spyro not necessarily coming is reasonable. Would we be talking about Spyro coming to Switch if it wasn't for its appearance on the Nintendo UK Online Store and the official website? Likely not, we'd be thinking Activision is doing the typical 3rd party move of not bothering at all with a Switch version and PC version just coming later especially when you look back at how Crash came to Switch.

Could it come to Switch, sure but it's not a certainty.
