Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Hi,
I'm looking to get a new and larger sd card for my switch (256 or 400gb). I already have a 128 gb sd card so, I'm wondering what is the best way to tranfer data from the old one to a new one? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

@Ryu_Niiyama
This is why I now limit my collectibles to Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, Xenoblade, Dragon Quest, Metroid, Zelda...

...

Ok that doesnt sound very "limited" at all.

Nevermind.

@JaxonH Doesn't get any cheaper really, you listed all A list properties with expensive merch (you are getting the DQ Switch...you know better)! LOL. I got into statues because I couldn't afford F4F (Zelda OoT) statues as a kid and my mom would have buried me in the back yard if I'd bought the (cheap now that I look back) statues that I wanted.

I was trying to go back to figma and sailor moon but every time I pay off a f4f they release something to replace it. Like everything while I'm paying off a big statue will be meh...As soon as I get the new box, "Oh hey here is a franchise you can't ignore, Ryu!" (granted this will keep me from trying to find the Sailor Moon pen that is like 500 dollars...rolls eye.) Like why didn't they just make another megaman statue?

...I just wish they had the payment plan when the TP Zelda came out. I had to cancel mine because I was a good adult and paid bills. The bad part is I'm mostly buying these so I don't have to pay some scalper 3x the price later. I have no where to put them until I move, and at this rate I'll have to rent a house instead of an apartment. lol. (I can't wait till I can afford to buy a house.)

I'm glad I don't bother with any of those.... I don't buy limited, special or collector's editions of games, either While I recently got a 'limited edition' XBox One s, it was pre-owned for the same as the normal one

^ Some stuff you have to though. Fates on one cartridge was worth the cash.

I miss when in the 360 era, special editions included the season passes if the game had one.

I found someone selling 'damaged' special editions on eBay. I bought Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and SNK Heroines special editions at knockdown prices. They both turned up sealed and totally undamaged. I guess that means they're stolen or they're being sold off without the publicity of a big price cut to save face.

@Ryu_Niiyama "Fates"
Meh, not sure Fates was worth that much cash. It's not like it was Awakening.

@Grumblevolcano That's now the Gold edition. Special Edition is like $180, includes the steelbook, pass, and 3 whole days of early access....

@NEStalgia The absolute best thing about Fates is that I made twice the money I originally spent on it selling the SE after I finished up with Conquest. Sometimes I kind of miss it in a "Oh, I like rare gaming-related items" sort of way, but I feel confident that I would never actually play the games again.

@gcunit odin sphere is a real hidden gem

@Ralizah lol, yeah... I put it on full casual/easy just to blast through it and it still felt like a tedious chore. Definitely the weakest FE I can think of.

I've not played any Fates yet, but in general blasting through a game on casual is not really giving it a fair crack, is it? Less likely to feel tedious if you are pushed to thinking strategically, I'd have thought.

@DenDen Bought it on a whim. I'd heard it's good and saw the special edition going cheaply. It's not the fanciest of editions, but I'm a sucka for an obscure t-shirt and art book.

@NEStalgia Like all Emblems with the option, I played Birthright/Conqest on Classic/Hard. One thing I'll say about Conquest is that it almost killed me on that difficulty. That is a BRUTAL game if you dial up the difficulty, whereas Birthright is somehow easier than Awakening.

Birthright still managed to be the better experience, though, because the writing in Conquest is just the dumbest thing ever, man. It's so, so bad.

Astral Chain got a 37 (I say several pages later)? That just confirms my suspicions that it's looking like a runner for game of the year. Nintendo's going strong this year, SMM2 + Fire Emblem + Astral Chain + Luigi's Mansion 3 is looking like one of their top annual lineups, even if nothing will quite match Splatoon 2 + BotW, +Odyssey + XC2

So I checked out the DQXI S demo because of the exclusive Smash Ultimate spirit and it's reminding me a lot of Pokemon Sword/Shield. The Heliodor region looks a lot like the Wild Area shown in Directs.

@Dev893 its on the 4th

@NEStalgia (I like Fates...mostly...y'all act like FE stories are Pulitzer winning or something.) I never got on the Fates hatewagon. Do I think they might have stretched a little too much trying to keep the stories separate? Yes, however I feel like that was in part because they spent WAY too much time trying to make Kamui's heritage THE REVEAL than needed. Otherwise it wasn't better or worse than any other FE imo. I'm sure I'ma get shot for saying that but I've played all of them and beaten all of them except Thracia 766 at least once. So that is just how I feel about it personally.

@Ryu_Niiyama I agree, I liked Fates too. It wasn't nearly as good as Awakening, and certainly not as good as older FE titles, but I had fun with it. There hasn't been a Fire Emblem title I've thought was bad - though I've only played the ones with official English localization, and FE6. There are things I don't like in various games but it's that way with almost any game.

@link3710 Yeah Splatoon 2 + BotW, +Odyssey + XC2 was kinda mind blowing to get all in the same time frame.

Warming up to the new Yooka-Laylee game more and more every time I see it. Reminds me of NSMBU (mainly because of the world map), but with level design more reminiscent of DKC: Tropical Freeze. And, hell, let's throw in a dash of BotW as well, because apparently you can go challenge the final level you spend the whole game preparing the face and just beat the game right off if you're skilled enough.
