Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

So we should be getting close to finding out what July's NES games are (few hours). Will it finally be the legendary Urban Champion?

My guesses for this month:
Mother (Earthbound Beginnings)
Ninja Gaiden 2
Wrecking Crew

Wrecking Crew and Donkey Kong 3. Nintendo's also adding a rewind feature for the NES app on the same day.

Ughhhhhhhh 😝

No exclusive Japanese game.

So what do we have left?

Mach Rider
Urban Champion
Earthbound Beginnings
Donkey Kong Jr. Math
Pinball
Golf
The Mystery of Murasame Castle
Ninja Gaiden 2
Ninja Gaiden 3
Double Dragon 3
Renegade
Crash 'n' the Boys: Street Challenge
Startropics 2 (outside Japan)
Fire Emblem Gaiden (Japan only)

Think that's it, of which that would last until the end of the year if 3 sets of 3 and 2 sets of 2.

@Grumblevolcano They need to add a toggle so that you can use B + Y instead of B + A. It'd make the NES games a whole lot more pleasant in handheld mode for me.

Enough to bore me to death for another two years. Count on it.

Did somebody say 'rewind feature'? How much is a lifetime subscription?

I’m going to abuse the mess out of that rewind feature. It’ll be worse than my VHS of Jurassic Park.

Who was the guy that loves monkey ball again? I remember someone here was loving it hard

@Grumblevolcano They might add Adventures of Lolo 2 and 3. It would be nice if they could get some more third-party games like Bionic Commando too but that would need Capcom's blessing. I'm hoping they'll move onto SNES in September though.

I actually don't mind ''walking simulators''. I thought Journey was good, but that was a very unique experience at the time. ABZU felt a bit like a rip-off, but it was pretty at least. I do think Firewatch is actually very good. Very well written, and I loved the interaction between Henry and Delilah.

It's just that Edith Finch didn't really impress me. It kinda wanted to be scary, but it never was in the end. You're put in a house you can't really freely explore, so you feel more on-rails than most of the games in its genre. And not all chapters were executed equally well IMO. It's an alright game, but nothing special.

@Dogorilla I think we will get SNES in September but they'll possibly have NES and SNES running alongside each other for a few months. Or if Nintendo's really cheap, we'll get our first batch of SNES games in September which will convince people to resubscribe and then October's games return back to NES only for a certain number of months.

Nintendo just loves announcing stuff right out of the blue.
Those mad lads are unpredictable

Pretty neat looking. I get why they did it, but for me personally it would be a downgrade in every way since I only use my Switch at home anyway. Though I do see myself getting one at some point just for collection purposes, but I'll wait for the inevitable special edition versions with awesome designs on the console

Switch Lite looks nice, might have to get one just for the d-pad.

The switch lite not for me but good doe the handheld gamers

Wow I really got lucky in gambling and buying the regular Switch a few weeks back. The Switch Lite looks great but no TV-output and dock compatibility is a deal-breaker for me.
Some games like Xenoblade are really unenjoyable without a big screen.

Genius time to release this along with Pokemon though. That's gonna sell like crazy.

Yeah, it's nice for what it's supposed to do, @Dezzy .... As expected, it's in time for Pokemon
