Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Grumblevolcano Speaking of Smash, I do wonder if they'll end up extending the deadline for the Fighters Pass by a month or two. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest honestly.

@JaxonH Do you want corrections on the list?

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is releasing in 2019, officially.

This guy gets it. He’s decoded the Breath of the Wild 2 trailer.

The swirling green lines? They’re actually text. Gerudo text from sages that sealed away Ganondorf. The two words “SEAL” and “GANON” are translated out of the swirling green lines. The hand holding the corpse’s chest is quite literally the personification of the spell on the scroll sealing him away.

And his neck was snapped by Zant in Twilight Princess, right? Well, when he comes back to life in the trailer, his neck snaps back into place. This is THE Ganon, as he put it.

@JaxonH dude, twilight princess spoilers. i know it’s an old game but some of us were 8 when we played it and never finished (me. it was me)

There would also be the events that took place 10000 years lrior to BOTW.

Since that game takes place after each timeline, it cant just be Ganondorf from TP.

@Anti-Matter Sorry for your disappointment about the camera angle, but it does actually look kinda alright for some 2 player slugfests if the price is right. I’ll keep an eye out for this.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is taking a bit of bashing. Of all the rougueish procedurally generated games I’ve tried (admittedly not that many because I avoided the genre initially) I’d say it’s my second favourite, only behind Dead Cells.

As for AC:New Horizons - I’m with Anti-matter in thinking it’s sticking too close to the previous games, from what I’ve read and the treehouse footage I skimmed through, some light crafting and being able to store stuff externally seem to be the main single player differences.

@gcunit It’s starting to feel like they just combined Pocket Camp with New Leaf ☹️

@JaxonH I think it was the YouTuber Zeltik who proposed that idea; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P41zDDqjsbI

@HobbitGamer I've never even looked at Pocket Camp. Main series AC is already light enough as it is for me, doubt I'd have any interest in a mobile spin-off.

I saw zeltik say that too. And game over Jesse on YouTube. I didn't catch it but they said they saw gerudo lettering

Everyone realizes that they showed the first couple of minutes of a game that is still 9 months away from release, right? I highly doubt we already know all of the intricacies about how it will play. Mario 3D World was (almost) universally panned after it's reveal, but the next time they showed it, it was awesome and now everybody loves it. Just enjoy the 7000 games that are coming out before we see more. I'm sure it will be great.

I don’t think AC looked bad or similar to Pocket Camp.... it does follow on ideas from New leaf though.

To be honest, the only thing I could've asked for in the new AC is more locations to visit, more customization, and crafting. And, from the recent trailer, we know the latter two are a huge focus. If there's some other locations to visit, like the tropical island in New Leaf, then it's pretty much my ideal AC game.

It still needs all the stuff in New Leaf, of course. The charming characters, wonderful social sim gameplay, various seasonal celebrations, etc.

People say AC doesn't change much, but the little changes they make are really impactful. As someone who started with New Leaf, I've found it almost impossible to enjoy previous games. They just feel... less... in comparison. Not different. Inferior.

As someone who has played both New Leaf and Pocket Camp, it looks nothing like PC (gameplay-wise that is, because obviously the graphics look similar, since you know, they're both AC). It looks like a vastly improved New Leaf to me and I don't know what more Animal Crossing fans would want. Not every game needs to re-invent the wheel every time they release a new instalment.

It looks like a big happy mix of regular animal crossing, desert island escape, and pocket camp, all in a really good balance.

I haven't played an Animal Crossing game yet. New Horizons will be my first. It looks charming :]

The first animal crossing you play tends to be the one you will always like, so have fun!

@Monkeido The problem is BotW, since that came out people seem to just want [insert franchise] BotW and it's becoming very annoying. At least the Switch is getting Link's Awakening, would've been very disappointing if the next Zelda game after BotW was BotW 2.

@Grumblevolcano Do you have both a Nintendo Switch and a Wii U? Which Nintendo Switch titles from E3 2019 are you most excited for? I am hyped for Super Smash Maker 2.
