Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I guess you could say the story placement isn't anywhere NieR as convoluted as people make it out to be :^]

I had no idea those games were connected! Brilliant.

JUST what the switch needs now. Indies. Yes so happy

I really wish they'd remaster the original NieR and the Drakengard games, since PS3 backwards compatibility is off the table.

MGS4, too.

@Ralizah I'm sure we'll get a MG "complete saga" collection soon enough with every game except Survive. Actually quite surprised it hasn't happened already

I wonder if that Sky Gamblers game coming out today is any good. I could use a good dogfighter since Ace Combat hasn't shown up on the system yet.

@redd214 I think Castlevania will get the collection treatment first, especially with how much Castlevania content is coming to Smash Ultimate. Konami has a 2014 Mega Man type opportunity here.

@redd214 That would be fantastic, because I have absolutely no interest in owning a PS3, but this one game I really want to play is trapped on it.

@darkfenrir Nier games are related in the same way Zelda games are, I think Dark fantasy to post-apcalyptic sci-fi is quite a leap for a sequel series

@EvilLucario I see what you did there

@Ralizah MGS4 was really good. Really dated controls but at least the game isn't as nuts as V

@Ralizah But don't you LOVE PSNow???? It's the new hot thing that'll take off IN THE FUTURE!!!!!

@NEStalgia Well uh... It make sense in the story...

This wikia kinda explains it very well, and it really make sense in a ton of way :thinking: Not even close to how Zelda goes IMO

@NEStalgia Not sure how I'll feel about it, but I love MGS and my gaming life has a MGS4-shaped hole in it that needs patching.

@EvilLucario The sad thing is I'd even be willing to try playing it on PSNow, but it was pulled from the service.

@Ralizah Oh, that sucks. Well, kinda since PSNow I hear is awful, but still.

A port of a several year old console strategy game is less popular than new releases of one of the last remaining big PC strategy series that actually had a marketing campaign going into its release? Wow, that sure means...nothing that helps your point.

Hollow Knight is on sale for $9.90 on the US eShop.

@IceClimbers Wow. 15 bucks is already a steal, but that's even more of one. Such a fantastic game.

@IceClimbers So tempting....yet....physical is coming....and I still have GCU....

I used total war as an example because it was published by Sega. On the top of my head, civ, XCOM, anything from paradox interactive, galactic civilization and endless space are also bigger, some of them are vastly bigger. And when they come to consoles, they usually fare worse. There is a reason the

I don't see why that is so hard to believe? PC gaming are very diverse, much more than consoles. Sure, you have graphics nerds, you have your first person shooter crowd. And those are the once that often clash with console owners. But that is far from all PC players.

One of my disappointments with Wii u was that when a console finally got an acceptable input method for grand strategy games, it bombed.

whoops, thought the Messenger was out so I got an eshop card. No way I'm going to be able to sit on that money...but I'll try.

"There is a reason the" what? There is a reason the port of a several year old game sold incredibly well? There is a reason the sky is blue? There is a reason the Suicide Squad script was a mess? I mean cmon why the incomplete sentence...unless...

OH NO! SOMEONE GOT TO THERAD AND SILENCED HIM! WHY?!

Taken away too soon.
