Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@jhewitt3476 it was released digitally straight after the Direct it was announced in, if I remember correctly.

@Buizel well crappola, thanx for the help Buizel

@Cobalt Oh wow, that's gonna be amazing. Those were desperately needed if they truly wanted the best hits for an N64 mini

The N64 Classic comes with 30 games and will only be $80, you will also be able to download additional games for free; you heard it here first folks!

@Octane
I'm not trying to insult, but where did you come across such a tantalizing promise about the great number of low price, on board games and expanded capability ???

Got Dragon Ball FighterZ in the mail yesterday & it's been a blast so far. The action really looks like the show come to life in a way I haven't seen before. The many cut scenes in the story mode are a delight as well, especially with characters that usually don't get much chance to co-mingle.

Also, I just saw that they gave away another Switch bundle on the Price is Right this morning, with probably the best balanced game lineup I've seen them give away thus far. Donkey Kong Country TF (skill based platformer), Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (puzzle platformer), Mario Tennis Aces (multiplayer focused arcade sports), and Octopath Traveler (big single player RPG).

@RR529 yes fighter Z is the show come to life for me. It’s a great game. Will take up my time for the life of the switch. It’s an evergreen title.

@EvilLucario I have no idea what I just watched. But I need more of it.

@JaxonH Civ6 is exciting, though it's premanture to say it's Switch exclusive. @Grumblevolcano has pointed out a few times that the big XBox conference in 3 weeks should have new reveals, including keyboard and mouse support, and there's a fair chance they'll announce Civ6 for XBox with that.

Still it's only portable on Switch which is kind of the important part. It won't be talked about much though. It won't be hyped much or terribly popular. Hardcore strategy games are niche even on PC let alone consoles where they seldom exist. It's a big deal for fans and might make new fans. It'll sell probably above expectation but I doubt expectation is tremendously high. Still, I have to finish Octopath and "to my stopping point" of Souls before release day.........

@Alantor28 You can get a $60 Smash Bros. game or a $400 PS4 Pro. I mean...as a gift....one seems to have a lot more value? OTOH then you have no games and if you can't just buy Smash anyway, the hardware won't help you with getting PS4 games.

@DarthNocturnal I'm wondering the same. I got a little excited for a moment but I don't see any news on anything anywhere?

Team Sonic Racing is now launching in May 2019.

"Quality matters most"

I know Aaron Webber isn't really in charge of making Sonic games since he's a PR guy, but considering Sonic's reputation... that's pretty funny.

That said Sonic racing games by Sumo Digital have all been good, so hopefully this follows suit.

@jhewitt3476 My uncle of course!

@Aozz101x Please don't! That ain't RollerCoaster Tycoon! Anything after 3 is hot garbage.

Atgames, a clear sign of quality.

Vampyr is coming to Switch

Maybe Sega had learnt from Sonic 06 and Boom not to rush games, should they release in a terrible state.

Then again, I was saying this with Forces' delayed release and that game was mediocre at best.

Still, I'm hopeful. Sumo's previous racers were both excellent, and heaven knows I never miss Sonic game.

@Buizel Apparently Forces only had one year of actual development where most of the time was spent making the new Hedgehog Engine (which looks nowhere near as good as Unleashed still so that was wasted), but regardless Forces isn't really bad, just very forgettable average. Lost World was weird with lots of good points and lots of bad/meh points too. Sonic hasn't had it good since Generations really.

The Smash Grinch leak keeps getting weirder and weirder.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
