Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Question: i have a standard switch, and wanted to buy a lite one, so i have one always docked and one for travels; now the question is: will i be able to switch (sorry) from one console to another without having to change settings or other things and mantain my profile data on both (especially the hours played in the profile log)? For example: can i play 10 hours of mario kart on the tv, then turn off and continue playing on the switch lite for another 10 hours with the same account? Will then my profile say i played for 20 hours? Thanks and sorry for eventual errors, english is not my main language

@Grumblevolcano How does it explain the Disney Afternoon Collection? It went to other platforms, just not Nintendo, I thought. Whether Capcom or Virgin or whoever developed some of the games, I don't follow how it impacts Nintendo specifically.

Yeah that seems like an odd jump to conclusions...

@jak1one a few pages back we discussed this. You just need to set the travel switch as your primary console (unrestricted offline access to games), and the at-home switch as your secondary console (needs to check-in online before letting you play the games).

If you have cloud saves, then games with that feature will automatically sync their save data (and you can also manually trigger it to speed things along), and for games without it, you can manually transfer the save data between switches before traveling.

@jak1one You should be able to use cloud saves and save data transfer (for games without cloud save functionality, primarily, or if you're not an NSO subscriber) to play games on your account across both systems.

Thanks both. Will transfer saves also transfer hours played on both devices?

Yes, that's tied to your account, I believe.

@Ralizah
Did you see the new Atelier Ryza Switch footage? Its looking great. Good graphics, beautiful artstyle and environment, runs well... it looks great.

Daemon X Machina previews trickling in. Unfortunately most are bad with a clear lack of understanding of how the game works. My worry is that reviews/previews are going to paint a different picture from what the actual quality will be due to crappy reviews/previews.

@EvilLucario
I played the Prototype missions. I know what I liked, I know what I thought could be improved. They improved practically every complaint I had and then some. I dont think its GotY material, but it was fun. And the new gyro is gonna make it super fun.

So I'm sold regardless.

@JaxonH Wow. The environments don't look like they got hit at all. Honestly, it sort of reminds me of Dragon Quest XI S.

After years of compromised Switch ports, it's like people are suddenly learning how to optimize for the platform. This looks great. DQXI S looks great. The Witcher 3 looks pretty good.

This is definitely going to be my first Atelier game.

(...assuming it looks and plays good when undocked...)

@JaxonH Yeah I know you and I are sold, I'm just worried that bad impressions would turn people away from what could be a great game.

@EvilLucario I'll be happy to buy a heavily discounted game in a few months.

Yeah, unfortunately Daemon X Machina didn't impress me as much as the concept of it did. But, the SO wants it for his birthday, so hopefully the game can change my mind once it's out

Yacht Club Games revealed in their take on Directs that the rest of the content for Treasure Trove (King of Cards, Showdown, physical version) and the amiibo pack is releasing in December.

Also a new game, Shovel Knight Dig was announced.

@Grumblevolcano just watched the presentation. While It stinks KoC isnt coming til December, ill be busy with other games nonetheless. But, I have no idea what shovel knight dig is by watching the trailer. Is it supposed to be like steam works dig 2 or something?

Still getting DxM... If I went by the controls to determine a game I would have thrown Xenoblade 2 in the trash the first 3 hours in. Not sure when though since I'm going to splurge and get Astral Chain. September is booked solid for me.

DQ, Zelda and the new amiibo. That is more than enough. I'm still pre time skip in Fire Emblem.

Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate on the way to switch. I'm mostly good with the Nintendo ones but I may get this one. Still need Samurai Warriors 4 as well.

DxM might be a purchase down the road. Long down the road.

There's just too much to play this next year.

@NintendoByNature Looks like DIG is a rogue-like. You descend, fight through procedurally generated levels, and unlock gear for future runs.

Huh, well Dig might be good I guess. I stopped playing Roguelikes after awhile until I hit Crypt of the Necrodancer, which intrigued my rhythm loving self enough to give the genre a shot again. We'll have to see if they do something to make the genre interesting for me or not though.

Yacht Club Games Direct, has been streamed just now.
