Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@bluemage1989

Is it my fault if in 2018, the only game that pleased me on Switch was Octopath Traveler ?
I'm sorry if I hurt your sweet little heart of Nintendo Fan, but I'm not a fanboy... Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft they are all the same for me... I play games and I still play on my Nec, on my SNES, on my Wii U, on my arcade etc... in 2018.

This year was really dry on Switch and it's a fact but why I would sell my Switch if I know that Yoshi, Metroid 4, Bayonetta 3 are coming next year ? WHY ?

Hope you'll understand better now...

it doesn't seem like you were trolling, so much as stating a comparison of system capabilities to reproduce the game as best as possible, your opinion/assessment was not the game or the Switch system sucked so much as you felt it did not do the game justice as much as the two other systems compared with

It could have been worded a little differently, but it was neither an attack on the game or the system, so the (personal views) should not be taken so personally by others, it does seem like there is a little over reaction

@Cobalt being right once doesn't justify the amount of bull**** you talk on a daily basis. Law of averages means your going to get something right eventually my objection isn't to anything Dark Souls related (9/10 seems fair to me for a portable Souls but anyway) it's to this constant attention seeking and complaining. By all means if anyone wants to tell me I'm wrong do so but I think this community is as bored as I am reading the same thing day after day from you. End of rant you can go back to pretending anyone cares about anything you have to say.

I’ve been browsing this forum for a week now, but apart from a few interesting opinions, there is not a lot of fanboyism going on. However, communicating your disappointment the way you do, that doesn’t work either. Having an opinion is fine, but what a lot of people are missing is an understanding of someone else’s opinion even if its completely the opposite of yours.

2017 was an extraordinary year for Switch, (and gaming in general, Persona 5, Resident Evil 7, FE Shadows of Valentia, Samus Returns, Nier Automata) so 2018 being a bit down was to be expected. Still the Switch had a pretty full year of releases. I didn’t buy much this year, but thats due to reasons on a personal level, but there are still Switch games I want to play and could get a hefty backlog.

Still need to finish Octopath, play some matches in FighterZ and just started Dark Souls.

@Cobalt
Switch has So MANY games to be played.
I have registered MORE than 50 Switch games on my shopping list.
Why did you say there is ALMOST NO games from Switch ?
Did you even consider smaller games like Captain Toad, Sushi Striker, 1-2-Switch, Poi : Explorer Edition, Lost Sphear, Penguin Wars, Go Vacation, Pokken Tournament DX, Overcooked, etc ?
And if those Switch games are PORTS from PS4 / Steam / Mobile, what's wrong with them ??
Have you even ever play any of them ?
Don't tell me if you want to say "I'm TOO COOL to play Baby games." or "Ew, PORTS ? That game is NOT Fresh anymore." or "I will consider the PS4 / PC version despite those games also on Switch because i want ONLY The BEST Graphics."

Oh, btw. I DO NOT EVEN Need Switch Exclusives with Too Many AAA / Seller System. Why the heck i have to hunt games like that ? Should i follow the popularity that actually i really Don't like ?

One more thing. The reason i kept said PS4 = BLAH machine because PS4 is LACK of Kiddie & Family oriented games like on Nintendo have. Even if there are some Kids games on PS4, some of them are also on Switch, which i ALWAYS choose the Switch version instead of PS4 due to PORTABILITY of Switch version, NOT because of Graphic fidelity on PS4 version.

And you keep saying Switch is ALMOST No games because of :
1. PORTS , even you haven't tried yet or even the games are actually interesting but because of PORTS Label.
2. TOO PRIDE gaming taste. Only want AAA / System seller only, NEVER Cares for Baby games.
3. Have a LIMITED games genre in your preferences.

@Anti-Matter

To make it simple :

I buy a system for the exclusive titles that I can't find somewhere else.
The Switch is extremely poor in terms of exclusive great titles.
I don't say that there is NO GREAT GAMES on Switch, I say after 20 months it's really dry.

Kingdom Battle, great !
Octopath Traveler, good !
Xenoblade 2, almost good !

Zelda BOTW Wii U
Donkey Kong CTF Wii U
MarioKart 8 Wii U
Captain Toad TT Wii U
Hyrule Warriors Wii U
Resident Evil Revelations Wii U
Lego City Undercover Wii U
One Piece Red Wii U
Bayonetta 2 Wii U
Fast Racing Neo Wii U
New Super MarioBros U Wii U

My point is that IF you discover the world of gaming with a Switch, yeah that's awesome, you have plenty of great games to play BUT if you are like me and you already played these games some years ago, sorry but it's a fact that the rate of exclusive great titles is really low, even lower than the Wii U back then... :/

Good thing the Switch is only in its second year and has a pretty neat first party line up with Odyssey, FE Warriors, Kirby’s Star Allies and others.

I don’t mind the ports. There’s a reason why Nintendo did and I get why.

@Cobalt
Why the heck you only care about Exclusives ?
What's wrong to play Switch games from another consoles also ?
I have some games that ALSO Ported on Nintendo Switch and i felt HAPPIER because :
1. I will get Better performance like Go Vacation Wii, LEGO CITY Undercover Wii U, Mario Kart 8 Wii U. I still KEEP the original games.
2. I CAN Play World of Final Fantasy MAXIMA, FF X/X-2 HD, FF XII, Portal Knights, Overcooked, etc on Nintendo Switch. They are originally NOT from Nintendo machines, but from either Steam or PS4. I have the PS4 version of World Final Fantasy, FF X/X-2 & FF XII, but the Switch version in the future are WORTHIER than the PS4 version, so i will sell the PS4 version & replace them with Switch version.

I buy games NOT for the Exclusiveness. I mixed up with NON Exclusive games such as PORTS & Multi Releases as long those games are interesting.

@Cobalt
Just a nice classic expression can be used for you: you're entitled to your opinion, but dang; yours is certainly loud and incessant.

You're getting a lot of pushback because 1: you're on a Nintendo forum and 2: you're mostly a negative voice in every thread you participate in. Everybody has that one friend who is very intelligent, but gosh dang if everything out of his/her mouth isn't doom and gloom and pouting.

There's a difference between establishing yourself in a community like this as a mediating, rational voice willing to put aside any kind of Nintendo favoritism and just being blanket-negative on everything and then snapping at people when it (naturally) starts to grate on them.

Cobalt is telling the truth, but unless you are in Cobalt's shoes, there is absolutely no reason to feel aggrieved with him lol. And certainly there is nothing to feel bad about. Nintendo are making money hand over fist and Cobalt has enough consoles to find something to play. So everyone is happy. Zero drama.

the drama is another rich kid who can afford all the systems anyway without real issues whining on the internet because his 300 dollar console investment didn't turn out well for him instead of waiting like the inevitable millions who will buy Switch in the future while i'm smart with my money and wait for the console

shrugs

i'm gonna clearly get more out of it and that's subjective and fine or whatever, but i actually have to put some level of thought into buying a console, so lmao no sympathy.

@bluemage1989 then ignore him, why get so workedup when you clealry have a very simple solution. It a videogame forum for christ sake.

Oh man, people whinging about Switch's first few years better have complained about the PS4/Xbox One's early years. Remember when their best games for the first two years were ports, that being Halo MCC (which was bugged out the ass) and Last of Us Remastered? The PS4 only got worth owning by 2016 and Xbox One 2017 with the Xbox One X (and even then, just spend a bit more to get a great PC).

@rallydefault The problem is that he isn't rational and isn't throwing out good arguments. I'm fine with people not liking certain games, after all I do not like Zelda as a whole which is pretty unpopular. So not liking some games isn't the problem, but the problem is making up faulty arguments and/or not looking at things in context.

So whenever he comments on something, I just laugh at the comment. Even if it's true (because after all a broken clock is right twice a day), the way he phrases everything like a elementary schooler makes me laugh my ass off.

I'm going to go eat a Snickers I'm not me when I'm hungry lols. Apologies if I offended anyone but not going to lie it felt good to get that off my chest fact is I like this community have done for years but a small subsection of it really is starting to grate reminds me of Sligiech_Eire or whatever he was called. People who would just talk down anyone who didn't follow there negative opinions and act like there somehow in the know with vague allusions or with there sense of entitlement or you know maybe I'm just getting old lols.

Normally when new consoles come out I don't rush out to buy them because most of their games are already available on current systems, just with not as good graphics. I usually wait until there are enough exclusive games I'm interested in playing before buying the new systems. With the Switch, there were some games I could've bought on other systems I already owned (like BOTW) but the ability to play all of these games anywhere and not tied to my gaming setup pushed me to purchase a Switch earlier than I normally would.
Some people have no interest in playing on the go, so for them, I get that they're going to want to wait until there are more exclusives. Personally, I've been more than satisfied with the exclusives so far, but it all comes down to personal preference.

@EvilLucario said " the way he phrases everything like a elementary schooler makes me laugh my ass off."

I'd like to read some posts from you in my language, just to see if you could phrase everything like an(not "a" like you just wrote ^^) elementary schooler or not. Perhaps, out of the comfort zone of your own language, you couldn't even write a simple and basic sentence ?

So easy, to make fun of non native, isn't it ? At least, I do the effort to try to communicate in YOUR own language... Sure, my English is kind of poor but maybe you could show me how great and awesome your French is ? Just to compare...

The hypocrisy is what astounds me. Ports are okay when they're on PS4. Worse looking console games on Vita were something to scream about. But ports/good looking console ports on Switch? Yeah, it all sucks.

@Sadist
I wanted Octopath at first, then I started playing and got worried, was all it was is a bunch of short stories ???, but I got really into it, I am not disappointed at all

@PokeMario AMEN Brutha Mario
I've been the same way for decades, I wait until there are enough games that I really want, that the total prices of the games is equal to or more than the price of the system I want, Switch equals $300+ worth of games, I wont get them at same time of course, but at least I know when I do get the system, I will be set game wise for some time to come
