Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Can someone help explain to me what "Archiving" and "Deleting" do on the Switch? I got a second SD card to put all of the games that I have already beaten on to make room on my main one. My process has been to archive and delete off of my main one, then redownload them onto my second one, then delete again on my main one since for some reason I guess redownloading them even on a different SD card makes the menu icon reappear. I just did another round tonight and noticed that none of the games I have done this with previously are on my second SD card. Does that second "deleting" somehow remove them from the SD card that is not even in the Switch at the time? I am very confused.

@cheng741 Considering you’ve posted the same thing in 8 topics already, I’m sure you’ll learn at least one rule soon enough.

@BlueBlur101 I don't know anything about the game, why should people boycott it? Did 2K pull an EA and go nuts with microtransactions or something?

@JaxonH Talking about as many games as you are, that adds up!

The reason you should boycott is simply put, because if this game doesn't fail, this casino simulator style gambling that is RATED E FOR EVERYONE BY THE ESRB will seep into all genres beyond sports games

Using gambling to appeal to 3 year olds. Disgusting

But it doesn't mean you can post exactly same post with advertising on your post.
Study English first before understanding the rules.

I do not think you are the one to tell ANYONE to study English ok?

How about just reporting if you see people break the rules and let the mods determine if something needs to be done?

With the halves of the years Switch has been around so far I'd rank them so far (best to worst):

1st half - 2018, 2017, 2019
2nd half - 2017, 2018

While it's too early to say whether 2nd half of 2019 is better than 2nd half of 2017 or not, I can tell already it's better than 2nd half of 2018. 2nd half of 2018 and first half of 2019 were easily the worst parts of the Switch era so far.

Gotta head to work, but started up Astral Chain, watched the intro cutscene and man, this game looks slick! Cant wait to get home and play

Okay my special edition Astral Chain just got delivered. Man that’s a bigger box than I expected, and quite elaborate in the design too. Can’t wait to start playing this!

Just wanted to take the time to talk about Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection here. I'm excited for it, it looks just as good as the other MMLCs and it has a couple of my favorite MM games on here (Mega Man Zero 3 and Mega Man ZX).

My only concern is how button mapping will work. On MMXLC, it isn't possible to map to the ZL/ZR buttons on the first three X games, probably because they were on the SNES. I really, really, really want to map the dash and sub-weapon buttons to ZL and ZR respectively, because that's where it's most comfortable.

sobs uncontrollably I just started DQB2 and Ys8, without finishing the last battle of Tales of Vesperia, and I'm only like 8 hours into FE3H!!

Hurricane Dorian closes in on us over the weekend. Definitely making sure my Switch and 3DS's are charged for when the power cuts off. This would have been the perfect opportunity to have that New Switch

@NEStalgia Man, getting bogged down in too many JRPGs isn't a good idea! You should finish Vesperia and then pick one of the other games to focus on.

@PikPi Grab a couple of big portable batteries and you'll be set for the weekend! Just hope it's not too hot where you live.

@Ralizah You would think I'd have learned that lesson from the stack of RPGs with unbeaten final chapters I've accumulated over, I don't know, 20 years? But somehow....I haven not learned that lesson....

@NEStalgia
I recently played Final Fantasy X all the way up past Yunalesca to the Sin battle, then saved and moved on to Final Fantasy XII.

But I already beat the game years ago on Vita. Had it been my first playthrough I'd definitely want to finish it up first.

Oh geez Castle Crashers is 9/17/19. Can somebody decide to release games in a month other than September?! I'm going to die next month.

@MarioLover92 If they handle button mapping just like in the X Legacy collection, then ZL/ZR should be freed up since the GBA/DS didn't have ZL/ZR.

@NEStalgia I've done that before. Get to the very end of a game and then just... stop... for months. It's weird. In general, I can't do this "one game at a time" thing, so I'm usually juggling four or five games at a time. I just try to make as few of those JRPGs as possible.

I burned through 3/4ths of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and then just... stopped... a couple of weeks ago. No idea why. I'll pick it back up in another week or so, most likely.

@JaxonH Hah, I haven't started it on Switch yet, but did something very similar (before Yunalesca though) on Vita....and did the same back on a (used, in the PS3-era) PS2 as well

@Ralizah I did that with Torna too, though in part, one of the reasons I don't finish RPGs often is because either the final battle(s) becomes BS to the point that I don't enjoy actually doing it at all, much as I want to see the ending, or because I love the game/world/characters so much I don't want it to end.... if I never finish it, it's never "over" That's why I did that for Torna, and part of why I'm doing it for Vesperia. But there's plenty of others I've intended to return to and just...don't...

I barely started FE. I was busy IRL around when it came out, and DQB is sacred to me, so my focus is partly on that...but I don't want to burn through it too quickly, and I started Ys back in April/May, got through the introduction, and then stopped....so I'm trying to recover the pace
