Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Giancarlothomaz finally a new Zelda game!

@Magician i hope for Metroid 35 anniversary, just like you said a release of a HD/deluxe version of Metroid Prime Trilogy and a 2D Metroid game that continues the Metroid Fusion history, with a teaser or trailer of Metroid Prime 4 at TGA 2021, with a fall 2022 release date, after all Nintendo will need to find a way to hype everyone to buy Metroid Prime 4, if they don't do that, theres a highly chance Metroid Prime 4 is gonna be the worst selling game of the franchise,even if Metroid Prime 4 turn up to be the best game of the franchise.

@Giancarlothomaz I have never played metroid. :/

@Marbio that sad, you missed the chance of playing one of the best Nintendo franchises.

@Marbio "hello". Is that what you wanted? This isn't YouTube where you can spam random stuff and not get punished. This is a much smaller community and stuff like that is annoying. Repeating the same question to multiple people will greatly decrease your odds of getting an answer.

So if you want to ask "Who's excited for Steve in Smash" I suggest you do it in either the Smash Bros Ultimate thread, or tone it down in this thread.

With my birthday on the horizon I think it's time for a cray cray import game order.

Time to go browsing, I still need a copy of ESP RaDe.

@Giancarlothomaz i have a switch @Apportal i forgot to read the community rules :/

@Magician Happy early birthday!

@Marbio_King_YT

Thanks

Gyro in Pikmin 3 also!!!

They’re nailing it. Two in a row- we’re on a roll! First Monster Hunter Rise, now Pikmin 3. Gotta love it.

_{...it's not as good as pointer controls...}

Gyro > Pointer controls in most use cases, IMO.

@DarthNocturnal
Yes. Pikmin 3 on Wii U, and Pikmin New Play Control! and Pikmin 2 New Play Control! on Wii used IR pointer controls. It was such a natural fit, most Pikmin fans can’t even imagine playing the series without motion now.

Obviously gyro isn’t as good as IR pointer in this select case (I agree with @Ralizah that gyro is best in most use cases), but it’s still much, much better than the default GameCube style “left analog controls the player when past 50% tilt but also controls the pointer before 50% tilt” input method which is just awkward. Seems very well done, too. With the lock on also included it may even come close to the IR pointer experience.

Also, yes, gyro for Bowguns and Bows, it seems. Really nothing else it could be for, barring maybe the wirebug? But I doubt that. Maybe it’s also an option but ranged weapons are a definite lock. After using gyro in MH World on Steam, I fell in love and wanted desperately for this game to include it. But I never actually thought they would! Now I may experiment with a gunner build, at least on the side. Charge blade will be my main weapon regardless.

edit
Pikmin 3 Deluxe demo is live on the NA eShop

@Marbio_King_YT i see.

i wonder how Metroid Prime 4 or a HD/deluxe version of Metroid Prime Trilogy is gonna play on Switch?since for the people that played Metroid Prime Trilogy in they Wii like me, the game used the Pointer functality of Wiimote for aiming your beam cannon, how Nintendo is gonna adapt this kinda of control for Metroid Prime Trilogy HD?since i believe Nintendo might release a HD/deluxe version of Metroid Prime Trilogy in the Switch, one year before the release of Metroid Prime 4, to hype everyone to buy Metroid Prime 4 and to newcomer know the franchise before they decide on buying Metroid Prime 4, everyone know Metroid is a franchise that sell poorly compared to others Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Legend of Zelda and even Animal Crossing, by releasing a HD/deluxe of Metroid Prime Trilogy, Nintendo could show how amazing the Metroid franchise is and increase the chances of Metroid Prime 4 be the best game of the franchise, after all Nintendo spent a lot of money in the game development(150/170 milions dollars) by comparion Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild bugdet was rumored to be 120 milions dollars, yes i considering Metroid Prime 4 the Nintendo game with the higest budget spent in it development even surpassing Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild that was said to be most expensive Legend of Zelda and Nintendo game to made.

@Giancarlothomaz

I'm curious as to where you're getting those game budget figures from? If MP4 has a 150m budget then Nintendo will need to sell over 25m copies to recoupe the cost. And to be honest, MP4 will have a hard time reaching 3m total sales, never mind 25m.

Samus Returns had an attach rate of less than 1%, fewer than 750k copies sold on a platform with 75m consoles in the wild. Historically, the Metroid series has never sold like other A-tier Nintendo franchises.

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe how PERFECT the controls are in Pikmin 3, and the HD Rumble!

They NAILED the controls. The GYRO POINTER option feels exactly like the Wiimote! It’s so good! And the HD rumble is IMMACULATE. It’s absolutely fantastic. Paper Mario had some great HD rumble but this may be just as good. They really nailed it.

What a high quality release. They went all in on this and made it the best possible game Pikmin 3 could be. To ANYONE who hasn’t played Pikmin 3 before, go download that demo! Just be sure to switch to Gyro Pointer in the Settings.

I've never played any pikmin ever. Might as well try this demo.

I was never that fond of the pointer controls. I think it's largely due to the fact I played Pikmin 3 before the original 2. I just got so used to the touchscreen.

You should. If they actually are even close to what the Wiimote controls were, it should be great. I adored the motion controls for Pikmin 3 so much. It was like the most natural thing for Wii motion controls I've played outside of pointer controlled shooters and certain sports games. Absolutely effortless, I don't know how we played Pikmin before this.

Though I'm always surprised people complained about the Wii U gamepad for it. I found it really fun to have it next to me and bring it up for those certain story sections and the map useage and the camera. It was the secondary controller, but going back and forth for different uses was pretty fun I felt (barring the brief second the game took to register you were switching).
