Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

So, since TGS is going on right, what are chances we’ll hear about Monsta Hunta at the event. Something new, like they did last year iirc.

@-Green- Doubtful. They'll probably have a new Ace Attorney to reveal and maybe more ports, but Monster Hunter World just came out this year, and they're still focused on providing post-launch support for that. Also, MHGU is relatively new as well. I'm not saying there isn't one in development for Switch, but I doubt we'll hear about it before 2020, at least. They don't seem to announce these games until they're near-ish to release.

Only thing I could see is a port of something like MH Stories, but I don't think that one sold very well.

I'm looking forward to Omega labyrinth life. Looks good

@Ralizah Whoh new avatar! Srsly, who are you?

That is some remarkably disjointed contrarianism that follows no actual pattern or theme

I'm picturing you now as somebody with thick hornrim glasses, an empty MacBook case, symbolizing the hollowness of Apple's corporate hegemony, and a Starbucks cup "ironically" filled with Folgers. You would identify as a hipster, but you don't, because hipsters are too mainstream.

Indeed, the DualShock suits you.

I mean I have some unpopular "hipster" opinions too. For one, I think Octopath Traveler's graphics are nothing but a safe artstyle to invoke the feelings of "oooh SNES graphix!" with overbearing bloom. And it's not even a new or novel concept with what they did, Xenogears did it first AND with a rotating camera. It still looks fine, but it isn't the paragon of RPG graphics at all.

And I also think most shooters are boring and crappy. The only ones I enjoy are those like Splatoon and Doom where the gameplay breaks free of the normal shooter design with interesting mechanics and design. Overwatch blows though.

The biggest one is that I think 3D Sonic is legitimately fantastic. Adventure 1 + 2 and Heroes are fantastic games that got a lot of overblown hate focusing on specific elements way too much. Plus, they actually ran at 60fps while Mario was at 30fps for 64 and Sunshine :^]

@NEStalgia I don't think hipsters ever actually identify as hipsters, do they? It's a label others impose on them.

Anyway, I won't be surprised if I look back into your history and find out that a rogue DualShock 4 ran a car over your dog or something.

@EvilLucario I liked Sonic Adventure a LOT back in the day. One thing that still blows my mind is able to play Chao Adventure on the VMU. Seemed really cool and futuristic at the time, and, honestly, I still think it's a really neat trick.

@Ralizah Yeah, Adventure 1 was so good. Both Adventure 1 and 2 are rough around the edges today, but damn are they still fun to play.

@Ralizah LOL, no a rouge DualShock for couldn't run a car over a dog. The triggers are too mushy and the deadzones are too wide for that kind of control. (bada bing!)

Yeah I just bought Sonic Adventure 1&2 on the XBox BC sale the other day. So far they're really amazing for what they are.

Why would you have a controller made of red makeup anyway?!

Unless you meant a rogue dualshock controller.

Maybe he meant a red controller.

From France.

I cyan what you did there...

So I bought Banner Saga trilogy physical today and 1 and 2 are playable without an update. Looks like whatever the size of the last game is will be the dl. I think it was around 6 gigs.

Don't think Dark Souls is my type of game honestly.

Anyways I've got about $16 worth in gold points that don't expire until sometime next year but not sure what to put it towards. Got a bit of a backlog going too so I'm not in a huge rush to buy anything right now either

@IceClimbers Save it in case Smash Ultimate gets DLC maybe?

Dark Souls is fantastic. It's literally a 3D Castlevania, how can you not like that????

@Tsurii Got Hollow Knight when it went on sale a while back. That's part of the backlog lol. RE Revelations 2 on Switch and Spider-Man on PS4 are what I'm playing through now.

@Grumblevolcano That's a good idea. Might do that. Also considering putting it towards Mega Man 11 though.

Shovel looks cute, but untill I can get it for less than $17 used......it ain't THAT cute.

So it looks like another video game developer has bit the dust with Telltale Games filing for bankruptcy. I am actually rather shocked by this news. I didn't realise things were that bad for them especially as how series' like The Walking Dead, Batman etc seem to do so well for them.

@ReaderRagfish They laid off everyone apart from 25 to finish The Walking Dead season and all projects have been cancelled. Some sites are reporting they have gone under but others are merely saying lay offs so perhaps I jumped the gun, though I doubt they will be around much longer regardless.

Of course you realize that on a Xbox or Playstation controller the button in that position is "A" or "X" and is generally the 'confirm' button, while B/O is where Nintendo has the A button, and is typically the cancel button. Right?
