Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Consumers still have a choice, so since it has been widely embraced by the market then there is some merit to it. I don't partake in microtransactions anyway but I like DLC and Expansions so we vote with our wallets.

Is it time for the Mario Maker direct yet?

From now on, every third post you make will be considered harmful.

And nothing changed.

...Is this still the switch thread?

@Ryu_Niiyama If you have to ask, you clearly haven't been here long enough

On a semi actually on topic note, anyone have any guesses for surprises during today's direct? I'm guessing we'll see a new theme revealed, probably an Odyssey or SMB2(USA) one, in addition to the expected multiplayer announcement.

@JaxonH
You seem to be defending it at every turn though. The competition charges for online play just like Nintendo. The difference being that Nintendo keeps the save back up system and switchs version of virtual console behind its paywall the other 2 don't. It's not like holding our saves from being backed up locally has stopped cheaters in online games on the switch. As far as the nes games go I don't want every single one that's offered but I would like to own and play a personal selection anytime and anywhere.

There needs to be more options for offline players, plain and simple. The whole world is not (contrary to popular belief) constantly connected online.

@Ryu_Niiyama how often do you have to ask this? This is clearly the Nitneod Swatch thread 😉

Snack World has local co-op, right? If so, it's going on my Day One list for 2020. Fantasy Life was a ton of fun to play with my family.

Pretty sure that, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and a handheld-focused Switch Mini is going to sell a bunch more Switches to my kin.

@GameOtaku
"Defending at every turn"

???????

You're imagining things guy. I've said REPEATEDLY I think the service is lackluster and REPEATEDLY said I AM NOT DEFENDING NSO.

Whether they offer manual save backups or not, it has nothing to do with the online service. That's a SEPARATE COMPLAINT.
The online service didn't take away manual backups. You were missing that functionality BEFORE the online service launched.

I dont care what you do guy. I'm not here to defend anything, and I dont care whether you like the online service or not. I just dont care. They're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless of what you like or dont like, and I'm gonna do my thing regardless as well.

The world keeps turning.

This could easily turn into another circular discussion like the virtual console on 3ds thread.

Proceed.

According to the Japanese box art there appears to be adhoc multiplayer for up to four people.

Like Payday 2 you'll need one Switch per player.

@GameOtaku Last I checked the PS4s version of BC is behind a paywall. Either a PSNow sub or buy the games individually in insanely limited range.

Then again, half the people here complained when we could just buy VC stuff and wanted a subscription.

So I guess people dont know what they want.

XB1 has the best service out of all 3. Free cloud saves for everyone, a good collection of previous gen games available for everyone with no extra cost if you already own them that's continuously growing, a very good quality online service, etc.

XB1 does have a few big flaws in other areas though, current gen game library and system OS. Both of which were Don Mattrick's fault.

@link3710 I'm hoping for Mario Land themes myself.

@Magician That's EXACTLY what I want. Thanks!

Really looking forward to Snack World.

@Grumblevolcano according to Windows Central Scarlett will have a new OS so that is something.

But at least the games can still be purchased on psn for offline play right? The nes selection now is limited compared to VC. There has to be an advantage to linking 3ds/wiiu accounts to switch other than just having funds compiled. Why not let us back saves up to our pcs and transfer our vc games from the other to the switch. That is easily the best way.

When I pump it once, it will shoot as it should. But when you cock it the next time, the trigger stays in and doesn't come back up? I know it's something simple and I will have to just take that rear section apart and look at the instructions again. Right now I can't put Zelda BOTW down long enough to work on it. I got the wireless remote for the Switch and love it, but can't find a way to just turn the Switch on with the controller with the switch in it's stand. Has to be a way and I will figure it out. You guys have to remember my name OldMan64 and that is the truth. 64 years old and still loving gamming!

Oh man, I’m all over that 2 game voucher offer for digital, and I’ll order the Online package physically to get a year of Online for just $10, except BestBuy GCU takes that down to $54, which means I’m really getting it for $6 (normal $60 game is $48).

Where do I preorder that digital deal though
