Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Yeah holy ****, messed up.

Anyway moving on from that, listening to fans only can lead to stagnation and lack of new ideas. Honestly I'd rather companies try new things while keeping what works, which is why Mario and Xenoblade works really well throughout their games.

Lol people being cautious about Retro.

They're just preparing a fat juicy steak while tinkering with their newest project. They'll be fine. Even if there have been some problems, I assume the higher ups in Japan sent someone to flip some coffee tables and get everything on track. I'm just curious on whats coming next.

@Therad World building in Star Fox? You clearly don't know the Nintendo way, it's needs a new way to control, and another reboot preferably. Why reinvent the story when the original is just as good?

@Sadist Wait are you saying those tweets were real? Retro's next project is a barbecue simulator video game confirmed!

@Octane I think the next control scheme will require a person to grow an additional four arms to control the 4 screen gamepad the Switch will receive as part of next year's updated system

@link3710 didn't know about the Metroid/F Zero link that's pretty neat. Throw them all together and give me Nintendo's take on Guardians of the Galaxy

All this rumors about Retro becoming a Microsoft studio is just pathetic. People think they can believe anything on the internet these days. The internet has become a cancerous place over time... smh.

and who the heck is this Klobreille guy? Some random loser on the internet?

Out of the recent Cobalt rumours, the one about PS5 coming in 2019 seems the most likely if any come true.

Oh come on. You don't believe anything Cobalt says, do you? He also claims that a new version of Switch is coming next year. Yet there's no proof of that. He's anti-Nintendo, that's what.

Edit: Okay, I'll give Cobalt the benefit of the doubt, but what if he's wrong about these things?

Dear lord. Sorry to hear that happen to FaeKnight. What we need to prevent things like this from happening is for police to police the internet. Too many trolls and whackjobs on the internet and it's time the people take back the internet from the nutcases. What happened to FaeKnight cannot go unpunished.

@Alantor28 Cobalt has been right on some things like the Smash Ultimate hardware bundle (including the design). It's less about believing and more about some of the things said make sense.

Like the PS5 thing, I could see 2019 or 2020 happening. Leaning towards 2020 but Sony could easily pull a BotW with games like TLoU2 and/or Death Stranding.

@FaeKnight Whoa! I just read your post. Hope you alright.

Well okay. If you say so. Maybe I'm too hard on him.

i'm excited for hacking to eventually be safer and cfw to be a thing

PS5 will be early 2020. Like a March release. PS4 has enough exclusives for now to bolster their line-up and if 2019 would be achievable, we’d hear more rumours or smaller rumblings surrounding possible production plans and Foxcon (or whoever will mass produce the console) describing future production lines.

Deep bruising and seriously pissed, but otherwise yeah. I'm all right. I have a little training in how to take a hit, and the (really comfy) chair in the living room kept me from flying backwards very far or breaking anything like my TV.

I just don't understand why someone would do that. Especially over something as stupid as getting passed in Mario Kart. I mean, don't these people realize that their own identity isn't as secure since the authorities can legally get the information? And that SWATing is a federal crime that can get you life in prison, and has been since 2013? And that's before the state court systems get involved. The message the clown sent also was clear evidence of intent to cause harm, so I doubt the 'it was just a harmless prank by a kid' defense would work, depending on the age of the person responsible.

I'm an eye for an eye kinda guy so...

Anyway, yeah this is why we use VPNs and such. Online gaming is just a way for people to be evil to each other and this is EXACTLY why certain games shouldn't be online.

Considering the person in question's profile says they are across the country from me, I'll probably never actually know what happens to them. Most SWATing instances don't make the national news after all. Not unless there's an innocent or police fatality/injury involved. I've already given the police what information I could. And I'm really glad I'd opened the door rather then having it broken down. Even if that did mean I got hit by the battering ram.

@FaeKnight how exactly did he locate you so completely? And what did he tell authorities about you to cause that? Thats extreme. They dont send swat unless its bad, and this isnt something ive heatd of happening virtually ever

@NEStalgia This happens all the time.

Basically they can find out your IP address, locate the physical location, make a fake 999 call of immense horrifics and suddenly you have weapons at your door.
