Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Therad thats the point im trying to make. I'm sure its still great to play regardless I just posted it to give a heads up. Idk why some get so defensive.

No one got defensive. But you’re also not just giving a heads up. It’s all good, though.

They released an update on the kickstarter addressing the Switch version.

"We have been listening to the feedback regarding Switch performance. Our goal is for everyone, regardless of platform, to be able to enjoy the game and have it run smoothly. We want to live up to your, and our, expectations.

Throughout the QA process we have been addressing performance issues in the game. Update 1.01 was published to Switch prior to launch to add content and improve performance. It did not accomplish as much as we had hoped and we need to do more.

To address the concerns brought up by the community we are immediately shifting resources to improve performance and stability for the Switch. You can expect a number of small updates that will improve different areas of the game rather than waiting longer for one big update. We will have more details as we dive into the work.

We thank you for your patience and apologize for the inconvenience."

I like how responsive to fan feedback they are. Good to hear the game will continue to receive support.

@Ralizah yeah that’s always great to see. Especially considering they don’t have to do anything at all once it’s out

@NintendoByNature @bimmy-lee I went ahead and prepurchased Gaveyard Keeper, because of course I would.

@HobbitGamer - I knew it! I’ve had an eye on it as well. It looks really good, but I’ve never played a farm/work sim like that. I’ve come close to nabbing Stardew, but this seems way more up my alley aesthetically.

@HobbitGamer you dirty dog you. It looks great. I'm grabbing it at some point but I have a little too much to play and bloodstained is next on my purchase list

Oh and let me know if it's good

This game is coming to Switch.

Here’s a review for the release on other platforms. Seems interesting. Not really my cup of tea but I think the Ace Attorney/LA Noire crowd might love it

@bimmy-lee Well, You’ve seen how much I play Stardew. I enjoy the varied amount of activities, and GK looks to have quite a bit more tongue in cheek humor. And my family owns funeral homes, so it fits
@NintendoByNature I sure will!

Well I'm having a lot of bad luck with my first days with a Switch. So first they didn't give me a dock so I had to return it and get another version. And now the first game I bought on ebay was Xenoblade 2 and the seller sends me the Golden Country expansion instead of the base game.
I swear there are a lot of people out there just trying to swindle you.

@Dezzy LOL I've never had a problem on Ebay before. Do you check the feedback ratings for sellers before purchasing from them and/or message them with questions about what's included if they use stock photos for their product listings?

@Dezzy Holy ****. Running into multiple bad faith actors like that must suck greatly.

Some of my experiences on Ebay haven't been great. I had a 3DS 2nd hand copy of donkey kong country returns wrapped up poorly and totally coated with selotape, so the only way I could open it was to inadvertently cut the front of the box to pieces with scissors. Also a copy of ultra moon arrived which absolutely stank to high heavens with what I assume was old 2nd hand smoke.

After that I decided to buy brand new only, as my OCD wouldn't allow me to continue! My sister benefited at least, as I gave the pre owned games to her along with a couple others for Christmas. I actually bought her a brand new 2DS XL to go along with the games, so I feel it was justified!

Lucky as i am never had this problem on ebay, like i said before buying cheap switch stuff is always hard to find many people know there is a high demand for it

I buy a lot of games on ebay and I've gotten used to it. I'd guess nearly 50% of the games I've bought have not met the ebay definition for the item condition, to a greater or lesser extent, so I've had to return for refunds (all at their expense) many times. Some people are just ****wits. Nothing new or exclusive to ebay about that.

But on many occasions it's worked to my advantage e.g. I bought a 'New, sealed' copy of Boing! Docomodake recently. When it arrived I was pretty sure it was a 're-seal' job - the cellophane didn't look legit, and when I unwrapped some of it was glued to the game case; the cover was for the US version (and looked low res, like it was printed on a home inkjet), the cart inside was PAL (not matching the US cover) and the instruction booklet was in German. I'd paid about £14. I iniated a return and got all my money back, plus I got to keep the game, which does work but just isn't in an authentic set.

The Sinking City looks like a prime candidate for being a bad Switch port.

The game looks rough on a high end PC.

Well my copy of Odyssey arrived! Woohoo, first official game. I have the afternoon off so have played like 4 hours already. Lol.
I think it's already my second favourite 3D Mario game after Galaxy/Galaxy 2 (those count as one in my mind). It probably won't outdo Galaxy for me, because I think that was near-perfection, but it's definitely better than 64/Sunshine/3D World/3D Land imo.
Gameplay-wise, it feels closest to Mario64 though. Like a sequel to that, but with much better controls.

Yep. Although the console mishap was an amazon seller, not an ebay one.
And the guy who sent me the wrong game had 100% feedback and was very nice about it when I complained, so in retrospect it sounds like it might've been an honest mistake. He sounded like someone's dad who didn't know much about games, so I think he might've been selling his child's stuff and got confused. With Xenoblade it's probably because it was only a game cart without a box, so the writing is really small on the cart.

You enjoyed Mario Odyssey? I tried to, but the focus on collectibles I found boring to collect made the game flimsy. If you thought collecting Moons was boring or repetitive, the game sucked, and that was my main problem with it. Breath of the Wild had collectibles too, but they felt more fun (even Korok seeds) and even if you didn't want to collect them the game still stood on its own.
That being said, I can certainly see why some people like it. But to me, it did not feel like a 3D Mario at all, and had little resemblance to some of my favorite games such as Galaxy and Mario 64.

@Dezzy Ouch. Sounds like you just had a run of bad luck, then. Fear of this sort of thing happening is why I never make BIG purchases on the second-hand market.

Well, like I said, Odyssey gets better as it goes on, well into the post-game where it'll truly begin to shine. Hope you keep enjoying it as much as you seem to now!

@Dezzy Glad you're enjoying Odyssey! It's probably my second favorite under SM64. I can't wait till you get to the post game

@Dezzy great your enyoing Odyssey game is awesome.
It gets better when your post-game and end game.
Not my favorite 3d Mario that belonngs too super mario 3d world
