Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Anyone having problems downloading stuff from the eshop?

Your lips to capcom’s ears. And can we get a second trilogy?

What's so unique about Tetris99 compared to, say Tetris v.s. Puyo Puyo (other than that it doesn't have a game mode that I totally suck at.... )

Tetris Effect in VR, I admit, as addicting me heavily at the moment.....

Well, Tetris 99 has a battle royale mode against 98 other players online.

And the dlc adds offline play and the regular marathon mode (plus other modes yet to be announced).

If you want regular Tetris then it's worth it. Though it's also ok to wait and see what else comes with dlc.

Still don't get why some people are complaining and saying it's "greedy". It's literally just a $10 offline Tetris game with some new modes that you can play even without the subscription. The main attraction is playing against other people online, and nothing changes if you don't buy into the "DLC".

Tetris Effect is $40 in comparison (with no online) and Puyo Puyo Tetris is $20-30.

Not even trying to white knight here, it just boggles the mind.

Speaking of number 99, i really hope 99Vidas will get physical release for Nintendo Switch version.

SEGA Ages has had a strong response overseas (especially in Europe), but slow sales in Japan. Overall SEGA Ages is selling less than half of what the 3D Classics were selling years ago. Staff will from here on focus more on appealing to the Japanese audience.

Because for many gamers it seems complaining about games is just as if not more important than actually playing games!

Personally for the amount of time and fun I've had with Tetris 99 I have no problem giving the ten bucks with the promise of more in the future.

Tetris Effect doesnt even have a mode where you just play Tetris. Cant turn off the effects, and any "Marathon" mode either has a limit of lines or level, or starts above Lv10.

Well....Bethesda IS still pushing Fallout 76, so there's credence to that thought

Behold...

Huh...interesting. Well, at the risk of being that guy, I can understand why some people are complaining about the 10 bucks. Tetris 99 was marketed to us as completely free for NSO subscribers, and now suddenly there is paid DLC on top of my sub? It smacks (just a bit) of what other companies do to get money out of you.

But, I'm free to not buy it, and I'm not going to. So problem solved, really.

@rallydefault I can’t understand the frustration. The online Tetris 99 is still free to subs. They just released the this thing opposite of what everyone is used to, seems like. And who’s to say the other dlc in the pass won’t have a benefit exclusive to NSO players?
Tetris online free for only NSO
Tetris offline only with a $10 pass

I dunno, I think it’s something folks may be getting worked up about for the sake of it.

Mary Skelter 2 seems to be coming West.

Old news. Love the enthusiasm though, I share it. Fantastic dungeon rpg series.

@AlohaPizzaJack
Doesn't the 10 dollars include other game modes, as well? Can I play those for free with my NSO sub?

As for Tetris, who cares. It’s a cheapo Tetris game, and now they’re selling an offline mode for $10 separately.

That being said, who cares. It’s a cheapo Tetris game Nintendo’s cheaply pawning off as some breakthrough asset to bolster their online, when they can’t even be bothered to toss subs more than an online mode for it.

I’m just not impressed... at all. Not by the online Tetris, certainly not by the offline Tetris. They’re going to have to do better than that if they truly want to expand their sub base.

@Magician
Actually, it’s not old news.

The post you linked is simply about it being announced for Switch. What @Ralizah linked is the recent news of it being localized in North America and Europe.

@rallydefault Yeah, the DLC pass currently gives Offline 99 and Offline Marathon.

Hopefully Omega Labyrinth Life gets localized for the people who wanted to play it. Sony forcing PQube to not distribute a fully localized game that had been long expected in order to sate the totalitarian impulses of reactionary puritans in California was totally ridiculous. It's funny watching some of the same characters who cheered on this profoundly unfair decision begin to squirm uncomfortably now that everything from Japan seems to be getting censored on PS4. I really, really want their policy to hit an anticipated Western game, but I'm sure they'll continue to just use their totally nebulous policies to harass small Japanese developers instead.

Bandai Namco will publish both Fishing Spirits and Bakatsuri Bar Hunter on Switch in Japan. The Switch version will be based on the arcade version with additional fish species, there will also be an adventure mode and will release in Japan on July 25th.
No specifics or release date for Bakatsuri Bar Hunter
