Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Lookin' good, as Vector would say. I'm confident in getting TSR for the Switch.

Mario Maker direct 2 Morrow

Yes

I'm hyped! Which makes no sense because I didn't even really touch Mario Maker 1 on the Wii U since I'm garbage at level design. I love the game more as a concept, I guess, and I can't wait to see more

Sonic Team Racing looks incredible, as expected.

Time to get hyped for Mario Maker 2!

After the Mario Maker 2 Direct is going to be either a massive rant about NSO or people happy about Mario Maker 2.

@Grumblevolcano I think you'll be getting a mixed bag like every thing else lol.

Meh, the SMM2 Direct is a waste of time, I'm already sold on the game.

It's a good bit of advertising, to make non-gamers more aware of its release next month, nothing else.

@Link-Hero Nintendo are releasing this game as a bundle with NSO, so expect it to require the subscription to do anything regarding uploading or downloading. Nintendo are going to go all out whenever possible to get people to subscribe and this is the perfect kind of game to get people to do so.

I mean, this'll hopefully keep them from spending too much time on it in the E3 Direct. When they spend time on it in a separate Direct, it doesn't take anything away and we don't even have to watch it. lol

@FragRed Mario Maker 2, Animal Crossing and Pokemon Sword/Shield will probably be the NSO trio. Mario Maker 2 basically functioning like Smash Ultimate's Stage Builder in terms of NSO, Animal Crossing having more online involvement than previous AC games and Pokemon Sword/Shield will probably have Bank locked behind NSO.

To play devil’s advocate, why would they pump up NSO if they don’t see more subscriptions? It’d be a horrible Catch 22 defense. My guess is they’re bundling this because they want more active subscribers, to show a higher use of NSO, to ‘justify’ whatever it is that’s ‘preventing’ them from pumping up the service.
But, purely devil’s advocate.

I think you're just gonna have to miss out, then. I dont mean that in a snooty way, but as truth of the matter. You're just not gonna get to enjoy the game.

NSO for $20 sucks, but it also sucks paying $60 for PS+ just because I want to play Monster Hunter for a spell. It is what it is. I dont like it, but I like my MH and I pay up. I dont like NSO, but I like my cloud saves and my Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate online and my Diablo 3 online, and will love my Mario Maker 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 online, so I pay up.

Life's too short to stand on a $20/yr principle

I have to agree. NSO sucks but I love my mario kart 8, splatoon 2, mario tennis aces, smash, rocket league as well as cloud saves and how it covers my family and friends online

Super Mario Maker 2. More of the same, or goodness awaits?

Redout looking good on Switch. Think I’m gonna have to pick this up

@JaxonH
Or if you wanted to cause change you and everyone else who plays online could simply refuse to pay and force them to change.

@JaxonH well said about the principle thing. It's literally dirt cheap, it's a cup of coffee a month and people get bent out of shape about it. Being someone who lost hundreds of hours of game saves sending in my switch, cloud saves alone are worth 2 or 3 bucks a month.

As for ps plus, if you're still paying full price for plus you need to visit more sites lol! It's ALWAYS on sale somewhere for $40-50. Don't think I've paid full price for it in 6 or 7 years!

@redd214
Or like Sony allow you to back it up yourself!

@GameOtaku
Key phrase, and everybody else

“Everybody else” isn’t doing anything. Because the vast majority of “everybody else” doesn’t care.

So I could refuse to pay and watch as “everybody else” does nothing, and see jack all as a result of it, and just cheat myself out of a fun experience. Or, I could take 30 minutes of my labor income and solve the problem all year and have a good time. I know which one I’m choosing.

(Btw “you and everybody else” could’ve simply refused to pay Sony when they started charging online despite PS3 and Vita being free, and stopped the majority trend from starting in the first place. But nobody did)

@redd214
I’m not a regular PS+ subscriber. One time for MH, and that was that- don’t think I’ll ever subscribe again. As it’s not my primary console, I simply don’t play it enough to warrant $60 cloud saves (or whatever sale price they can be obtained for). If it was my primary console, I’d probably stay subbed, as I’ve done with Switch (can’t have 1TB worth of games and no automatic backups, that’s just living dangerously)

Hey Boys and Girls,
don't know if this is the correct place to ask but I'll ask anyways. I put my Labo kit together and the Blaster won't fire but once? The trigger isn't coming back up? It will cock and fire if I pull the trigger back up. I know I can take it apart and redo, but thought maybe someone might know what I did wrong? Any ideas?
