Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Ninfan The game will still be MP4 as confirmed by the development update, just now with Retro at the helm. And the title for the development update indicates that it's still being developed with Nintendo Switch in mind.

@FragRed I'm still a big fan but theres a bit of a famine at the minute .iv got great memoirs of nintendo games .2000 or 3000 games.there still maybe better than anyone else

Sniper Elite v2 Remastered looking fabulous, and of course with gyro controls for aiming (oh it’s gonna play so good in handheld mode). Gotta support the devs that support us, especially those that go the extra mile. They’re bringing Sniper Elite III too. Nice first step into Switchland for these devs.

@Ninfan
Meanwhile, i played Metroid Prime Federation Force 3DS, the spin-off since i'm not a Metroid games fan but i suddenly have interest with that spin-off due to Chibi looking Mecha and simple objective missions (But hard to do).

@Anti-Matter did you play metroid prime on the gamecube it was great.I was really looking forward to metroid 4.

@Ninfan
I'm not a Metroid fan, never played any Metroid games, but i play metroid Prime Federation Force 3DS.

I never got that kind of logic. What's your issue with Tetris? (lol)

I mean, for some people, Tetris is like THE GAME OF ALL TIME. Seriously.

It's all perspective, man. Like, I know this is blasphemy around here, but I couldn't give a flying rat's nostril about Pokémon. But since YOU (or whoever) perceive Pokémon as an awesome franchise, you'd be all up in arms if something like this happened to one of those games. (Just wait for all the insane micro monetization you guys are gonna see with Sword and Shield, by the way.)

Most of you guys are awesome. You are way better than the comments I'm seeing from you lately. I thought a baseline level of empathy and awareness of differing viewpoints were skills we all had around these parts.

@JaxonH how much that 1tb cost and where you buy it

@rallydefault I mean, the DLC is basically just an offline version of Tetris like Tetris DS, Axis, Effect, Puyo Puyo Tetris, or whatever, and it's a one-time payment for the rest of the modes they'll be adding, as well as being an option for those without the subscription, which those on the other side weren't understanding at all. Especially on Reddit and Twitter. I'm not going to bother emphasizing with people who miss the forest for the trees.

Sure it can suck to suddenly pay up ten bucks, but considering it's available for everyone, even non-subscribers, and there's nothing but additions if you pay up, it's no big deal at all.

There are plenty of things to be mad at in the Nintendo space like how some companies want to price their releases a bit sketchy (Capcom with the Resident Evil games being more expensive), but Tetris 99 DLC is the least of those worries if at all.

@GrailUK do you play super monkey ball 3ds

@Ninfan Hiya, I haven't played the 3DS game (I don't really play on my 3DS that much). Is it any good?

@GrailUK I think I'm the only one with the online one.it's good alright

@EvilLucario
I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but your final statement just comes back to my point: People saying "this is the least of our worries" because THEY, personally, are not super interested in the franchise or they view the game as lesser or whatever, is exactly the reason why we're now stuck in a hobby going down the tubes when it comes to micro monetization. When people don't care, that's when the people in power continue down their path unimpeded. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not." -Seuss

Also, my prediction is that this will NOT be the last paid DLC we'll see for Tetris 99. Far from it. I predict a couple more 10-20 dollar add-ons with new modes. Greed, greed, greed. For me, at least, I'm going to vote with my (paltry) wallet by not buying this DLC. And I applaud the people speaking against this.

Now, back to whatever you people have deemed more important right now.

@rallydefault I think for Tetris 99, Nintendo will do what they've done so far. 1 "season" of paid DLC and then that's it just like all the other Nintendo games on Switch that have gotten paid DLC. The "season" of paid DLC in this case being the Big Block DLC (part 1 was CPU Battle and Marathon, part 2 is later this year).

No, no, it's fine to drown in the possibilities of a grim future. Keeps the blood pumping.

Think of Tetris 99 like this.

A $10 Tetris game, that has an online mode only for subscribers, obviously, but you can choose which you want.

@Ninfan
1 You don't wanna know. Really, you dont 🙂
2 Sandisk Online Store (will likely be backordered for a while though).

I think most will wait for a bit of a price drop, but if you've got it... go for it. I love this thing.

Lol lol oh my gosh.

If someone cares about a product, griping that they're not getting more of it for free (when they had no real reason to expect it), seems an odd, and rather childish, way of expressing that care.

It's like walking through your local supermarket where there's a member of staff offering tasters of a new product, so you take one, and then kick off because they won't give you another.

It is free though. You don't need to pay any subscription to get the game. It just happens to be online-only until you pay for the dlc.

@subpopz
Paying for switch online games though makes perfect sense though! If you don't play online and want to have access to them what would be the problem? I bought a one month sub to NSO and because I didn't have service at home though I had paid for a month I ended up only having maybe 2 weeks worth of nes games that I may have played only about an hour or two after I got home from work since that's what I wanted to play! It's ridiculous that we are not given a choice especially with linked accounts (my 3ds and switch accounts are for example).
