Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Too many games in September, I don't think I have the time to play Spyro.

I realized something about Nintendo Switch games.
Different titles, different energy drainer.
Titles like Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Overcooked, etc are draining energy lesser (20 - 30% Battery Energy for 1 hour) than Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles, LEGO CITY Undercover, etc (Draining 45 - 50 % Battery Energy for 1 hour).
And that's why my Switch started to get warm + Fan started to spin in 1 hour when i played Yonder on Handheld mode.
I guess Open World games are draining more energy than other Switch games.

I always charge my Switch when im not using it in handheld mode. same goes for pretty much other handhelds with the ability to have a charging cable.

the co-director of ACNL has left Nintendo. this doesn't mean that Animal Crossing Switch inst happening. so i wouldn't worried to much about an Animal Crossing Switch not happening yet.

Completed the main story in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker after a binge session last night. Really imaginitive game. I still have the bonus stuff to do, and I have some gems & special objectives left to complete (I'll definitely grab the gems, but I'm not sure about doing all the special objectives).

So that means 3DS games are consuming more power than NDS games, right ?

@Anti-Matter Depends on the game.

I would like to point out that I saw an ad for Switch last night, done in a somewhat similar style to the montage they had at the E3 Direct.
It showed that every game was out now that that they showed in the commercial, except for Smash in December. I'm not sure that implying that the next big game coming out isn't until December (awkwardly not even showing Mario Party or Pokemon), was the best marketing idea. It made me laugh a bit.

@kkslider5552000 that's odd... why not advertise you're other huge hits like Pokemon Let's Go and Super Mario Party. unless im somehow misreading on what you're saying, if so, i apologies.

Depends on what the other games were, if it was a bunch of games with online multiplayer (e.g. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Mario Tennis Aces) it makes not to include Super Mario Party and Pokemon Let's Go.

I imagine the purpose of that ad is to sell you on something you can play right now, with Pokemon/Smash getting more advertising on TV when they aren't 4/6 months away.

Well, hey, at least it is honest marketing for once. =P

Pokemon Let's Go is probably going to outsell everything on Switch except maybe Mario Odyssey and MK8 Deluxe.

Pokemon Let's Go is gonna be more popular than the vast majority of everyone here's favorite games, and people should learn to deal with that now.

New info dump for The World Ends With You. Can find it on Nintendo Everything if anyone is interested. It's a huge list.

Okami HD with motion and touch, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, The World Ends With You with motion and touch, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Mega Man 11, Team Sonic Racing, Dark Souls Remastered and Dragonball Fighter Z (and SNK Heroines- no I haven't forgotten about you this time). And Pokémon of course.

These are the games that will define my summer/fall of Switch gaming. And it's about to kick off proper the week after this one.

Btw, Banner Saga has reviewed well, and all I keep hearing over and over and over again for reviews of the trilogy is "masterpiece". I think it might be time to make room digitally and say screw the physical version. I might just have to accept that some games will need to be deleted off the 512gb card until technology brings us a 1TB microSD card (of course by that time I'll probably need a 2TB card, but I digress).

Oooooor, I could buy it on PC for my GPD Win 2. Granted I'm not doing much better for space on that either. Yes I have a 512gb SSD + 400gb micro SD + 256gb ultra fit USB, but the USB is full of roms A-Z from SNES to GameCube and Wii, so that's off limits, and just 50gb of space left on the other 912gb. But as more games are announced for switch I've been deleting them off the system (just today I deleted Salt N Sanctuary- only half a gig but that's half a gig some other indie can occupy instead).

Btw, Resident Evil Revelations and Revelations 2 are just $13.99/ea on the eShop. Absolutely fantastic releases on Switch. They look almost just as good as playing the game on an Xbox One, and come with really excellent motion controls and HD rumble and all that jazz. They even have optional motion gesture reloading where you slide the clip in to your right "gun" with your left hand... and it actually works really really well. Of course it's 100% optional so, no harm in trying it out.

Warhammer coming to Switch??!!!

Warhammer 40,000 Deathwatch Switch- Amazon UK

@JaxonH So the Switch version is from Fun House, the steam version was developed and published by Rodeo Games, and its also on mobile.

Good lord knows what version of the game this is, but the PC release is at least UE4, albeit with pretty high recommended specs (3.4GHz CPU, 1GB Video RAM and 4GB RAM) so it wont be an ideal release.

And it's lucky, as the PS4 version released only just before the Switch console did, so it's a late port I'm okay with.

Aren't we finding out how well Nintendo did in Q1 soon?

@Grumblevolcano Tuesday.

Gives us an indication of how much of those 20m they have left to shift and how much is on Pokemon.

Those aren't high specs. That's pretty much "can boot into Windows" specs....

@skywake Those are also the things Switch lacks

I kid of course. Some lower quakity assets and the 3.2gb estinated total RAM for Switch wont be much issue.

CPU might. Speed isnt great but thats what tailoring the experience is for.

Lets hope the devs do that eh?
