Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Ryu_Niiyama I know it, if only because Cosmic Spiderman from Earth-13 was such a major player in Spider-Verse (the comic version obviously, not the mostly unrelated movie). That was definitely a cool suit, I wouldn't mind it at all. I'd love Spider-UK too, though that one would rile up the internet I'm sure.

@link3710 The internet lives to be riled up. I'm not into the flag/patriotic based costumes myself (including Cap, although his modern costume is an improvement) mainly because flags tend to be too complicated and often with colors that don't mesh well, plus I tend to not be a "rah, rah my country is the best" (we are all human) so I don't feel the affinity that the costumes are trying to provoke. Wait I take that back...Women's World Cup... Team USA (or Japan in a pinch) or bust.

However Spiderman has such a varied history of suits to chose from so I'll likely be happy with whatever they pick. But there are some costumes that nostalgia just wins you over. For me Storm's white jumpsuit is forever her "real" costume, same with Wolverine's Yellow and Blue...yeah they wore other colors and styles but as a 90's kid... when I see those suits I hear the Xmen Animated Series music. lol.

@Ryu_Niiyama As much as I love Storm's white jumpsuit, I'd personally prefer she gets an outfit with her mohawk. Especially since she does already have a very similar alternate costume to the 90s version.

Well had a pretty good weekend. I think I converted half my Fighting Game Club to Pokken. Tourney time! I really, really wish that Bamco would keep supporting that game.

I wonder what obscure NES games we'll get next month.

@Grumblevolcano more like what obscure snes games will we be getting? And By obscure, I mean not obscure at all. Basically Mario world, alttp, and dkc. One can hope..

@NintendoByNature While I do think SNES is coming next month, I don't think we've seen the last of the NES games and if Nintendo wants to troll people like they did with Animal Crossing last year I could see them maybe announcing NES games for September before SNES games.

Here’s a screenshot of the Overwatch case, the listing of which has been removed.

@NintendoByNature, I think a person can dream of Mother 3 happening on Switch, and if Nintendo were to announce it in September, I wouldn't be surprised if it is one of the first SNES games to come out to move more Nintendo Switch Online Sales.

@JaxonH Huh, well that looks really convincing. That's a ton of angles to cover. Or if you took it yourself I'll totally believe it of course. Overwatch would be a nice 3rd party reveal for the September direct, especially as a 'launching today' sort of thing.

@Lucarianzx Mother 3 isn't on the SNES though? That's a GBA title.

I'd say the top 3 titles I want are of course the DKC trilogy, but after that (and ignoring the licensed games and games already on the system), Kirby's Dream World 3, Shadowrun, Actraiser, Sparkster, Ogre Battle, Earthworm Jim, Tetris Attack, Breath of Fire or Lufia could be some fun titles to see come over.

So on one hand, Overwatch is well past its prime, but this could be new life.

On the other, the game itself would fit the audience, but would Activision Blizzard's monetisation? Maybe not so much.

Whoops. I guess I thought that...

@link3710
It’s not mine but it’s legit. There is a Reddit post about the listing and a bunch of different people took screenshots before it was taken down.

Given this is an officially licensed Power A case, I’d say it’s all but confirmed.

Overwatch seems like a natural fit in the Switch catalogue. Super excited for fans of the game

Just about done with MUA3's main story. Don't think I'll deal with the infinity trials right now though; I'll probably try to play through the DQ demo before Astral Chain drops on Friday.

@Knuckles-Fajita I've never played Overwatch, but I thought it was considered one of the best implemented games for monetization? Cosmetics only, nothing that affects gameplay and the like.

So Overwatch and Fortnite are the big battle royale games right? (I only play fighting games online so I don't know.) So at this point switch should be proven to handle MMO games right? Kinda hoping for TESO (I can't be bothered to play it on Ps4 or PC but I think I'd play it on switch)

I don't like multiplayer shooters and not even Overwatch convinced me when I played it on PC. Even with friends, I wasn't having fun.

I recognize its appeal but a Switch port would do nothing for me. However, it would be yet another nail on the "too weak" coffin if it somehow managed a mostly stable 60fps lol. Although I expect 30fps.

@Ryu_Niiyama Overwatch is not a battle royale. It's a hero-based, team-based shooter in the vein of Team Fortress 2 with multiple different characters, all with extremely unique properties and abilities.
