Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@StableInvadeel I’ve been thinking about one of those since I’ve been playing much more handheld mode for the past two months. I’ve got some bangin headphones that would probably sound great

@JaxonH
I'm glad Nintendo didn't abandon the fitness genre on the Wii/Wii U. RFA seems like exactly the sort of thing I've wanted for years: an exercise application that's actually a fun, reasonably deep gameplay experience.

Definitely nabbing that at some point.

@Ralizah The timing of release was also a lot better this time. If you want a fitness game you can pick up RFA but if you want a traditional game there's lots to choose from that came out recently or are coming out very soon.

@HobbitGamer at least mine came with a usb-c to usb-a adapter so it should also work with the dock. I'm currently traveling with just the lite though, but I can't wait to try it once we get back home.

It was around US$16 on Amazon during one of their sales, so I say it was totally worth it.

@StableInvadeel kewlness. I’ll have a look at some. What’s the brand you nabbed?
I’m currently strongly resisting the urge to grab a Lite today as well.

@HobbitGamer mine is this one, but I'm pretty sure it's just a generic model they sell under various names.

Interestingly, the listing doesn't seem to mention anything about the microphone accessory.

@StableInvadeel Ok, thanks. Apparently GameStop sells one in store, too.

And I broke down and got a turquoise Lite. They actually had one I could hold and fiddle with, which is what sealed the deal. Can’t wait to finish some stuff at the house then play with this. Snagged some tempered glass and a soft case, too.

@HobbitGamer oh hah! Enjoy your lite!

That's the one I have. It's so nice, isn't it? I told myself I would use it only on travels to keep the battery nice and young, but even back home I started using just the lite for handheld sessions, instead of taking the other one out of the dock.

It’s so beautiful. Should have sent a poet.
I got all my linkage done and redownloading just some of my games to it. But already Asphalt 9 looks great on it.

is there any info on Mario kart 9 or new Mario releases

@Kali07 Not at the moment and you won't hear an announcement for those kind of things outside a Nintendo Direct.

@Kali07 @Grumblevolcano Well, there's not none exactly. We know there's at the least 3D Mario and a 2D Mario in development as of October 4th thanks to their twitter.

It's quite likely there's no Mario Kart in development at the moment however as Tour is probably supposed to be '9' and that just launched. Hopefully it flops hard enough that Nintendo will pretend it never existed.

LoveR Kiss comes to Switch!

@tobibra Alright I'll bite... what even is that?

@link3710 LoveR is a dating sim, was originaly released on PS4. Its coming to Switch, from what I understand it looks like they added the option to date a teacher. Posted it here because I wanted to share it but did not feel it needed its own thread

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of a series I've never heard of, Kadokawa Games is bringing Metal Max Xeno Reborn 1 & 2 to Switch in 2020. NIS America will most likely publish these in the west, although nothing has been made official yet. Anyone else excited for a post apocalyptic tank-themed rpg?

@Magician
I saw that. I'm excited enough to give it a try. I actually remember when this game was first announced and thinking it looked pretty intriguing. Certainly one of Kadakowa's more interesting titles.

@JaxonH

No need to complain about a car not having a truck bed. Just go buy a truck.

I like that analogy.

I just noticed that the UK eShop has just released ‘Double Switch’.
This is a remaster of a Mega CD game, same software house as Night Trap. I never had this back in the day; but had most Digital Picture games. Does anyone remember this game?

Duke Nukem 3D rated for switch!
