Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@MarioLover92 Few people know, but there’s actually one Megaman Battle Network released in the USA for the DS, which let's you choose Between two operators to have partner. One is Chaud with Protoman and other guy with a navi named Colonel (I don't remember the operator's name). I thought it would be more appropriate to put the reply here, since there is a slight chance of Capcom putting a collection.

@MsJubilee

As a maniac collector of Switch physical releases I assure you...I'm never joshing.

@Diddy64 Oh I totally forgot about that! I used to have it, that was the DS version of MMBN5 that has both the ProtoMan and Colonel versions. (Colonel's operator is Baryl - just thought I'd mention that.)

@MarioLover92
Was Megaman Battle Network 5 DS easy enough for newbie player ?
I saw the gameplay from Youtube was like RPG style.

@Anti-Matter I think so. It was one of the first BN games I've played (though I played BN3 before that) and I got into it pretty good. All the games start out with a tutorial on the battle system as well. It's pretty much an action RPG, since the battles are in real-time. Though there's no experience points, you just get either Zenny (the game's currency) or Battle Chips after winning a virus battle.

BN5 has the Liberation Missions too, which play similarly to games like Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, and Shining Force (all turn-based strategy games). If you're not into strategy games, BN5 might not be for you.

@MarioLover92
I have ever played FF Tactics PS1 so i think i can try Megaman Battle Network 5 DS.

That photo mode in Monster Hunter Rise is gonna be so addicting.

I’m a screenshot maniac. I’m constantly taking screenshots in all the games I play on Switch. Probably have a few GB worth of vids and pics already just from the MH Rise demo!

But this photo mode, that takes things to a whole new level. As if the game wasn’t going to be addicting enough as is, Capcom decided to go ahead and make full fledged junkies out of their fanbase.

Speaking of which, 9 more days to Monster Hunter Rise! We’re in the home stretch now!

Maybe because this one has some credibility? I remember pre Switch some were adamant the "screen with holes" fake was real. Then when the Eurogamer rumour that ended up being real swung around people cited the fake as proof Eurogamer was wrong.

I distinctly remember trashing the first and believing Eurogamer. Even when people were making mocking videos with iPads that had WiiMotes taped to the sides. Purely because the first was impractical and the second was very plausible.

I see this current rumour as far too conservative to be the usual made up BS. They're not talking about "competitive with the PS4" or "entirely new form factor". It's a different screen and a change of SoC. Basically what Nintendo did with the GB, GBA, DS, 3DS and already the Switch. Even if it's fake it's probably going to happen!

Also Bloomberg isn't exactly the same as "my uncle from Nintendo took a photo in a factory".

@JaxonH me too i love to take photos and videos of every Switch games i have and share some photos/videos i took, april 10th can't come sooner enough(the day i will be finaly able to play Monster Hunter Rise, that my 30th birthday, oh my i feel old.

is there suppose to be a gameboy or gameboy advance on NSO sometime in the future ? i thought nintendo mentioned it a while back.

@Ninfan they never mentioned it. People assumed something would be added. Personally I don’t think any game boy games will be added until after a game boy mini release. So a long time away. And I expect 64 games to bundled into sales instead of being on NSO as well. Essentially there’s only so much Nintendo is going to give you for $20.

@skywake
And if you recall, even that photo of the "Switch Mini" shell casing from the Nintendo uncle at the factory... even that turned out to be real. I remember people saying, "ah! It's so fake, you can just tell immediately- the number code printed isn't even any different- the hoaxers couldn't even bother to change it lol"

But it was real. We had seen the Switch Lite back in April and nobody even believed it.

@Giancarlothomaz
And, to a 16 year old maybe its old. But to everyone else, it's young. I'm 37 and ask myself every day where the last 20 years went. Sure don't feel any different, aside from not having the same energy I used to.

@Ninfan
You can still able play GBA games with GBA or NDS machines, without waiting from NSO.

How do I play gameboy advance on NDS

Started Kingdoms of Amalur today on Switch, and I’m shocked at how good it is.

It feels at least as good as Dragon’s Dogma or Skyrim. Way more story based, which I like. It definitely shows it’s age as a PS3 game, but it’s really good. And, as far as Switch games go, PS3 era titles actually look right at home.

@Ninfan ...By plugging the games into the giant GBA slot?

@Ninfan
"How do I play gameboy advance on NDS ?"

Insert the GBA cartridge onto bottom slot of NDS Lite.
Turn on the machine, tap the GBA icon at the bottom to play.
To end of playing GBA by NDS Lite, just switch off the power and done.

Note, only FAT NDS and NDS Lite can play GBA games since the have GBA slot at the bottom. NDSi cannot play GBA games by cartridge since there is NO GBA cartridge slot on NDSi machines.

@JaxonH how is the performance? I had to put off most of my march games (hitting ze stock market hard) so I can’t pick it up for a few months.

Mario Maker 2's final Nintendo created content, the 20th Ninji Speedrun is happening on April 14th.

@Grumblevolcano
That's gonna be the final run? That's a bummer.

I'm really shocked they didn't do paid DLC for Mario Maker 2. There is quite obviously space for another theme in the course creator, and there are dozens upon dozens of obstacles, blocks, enemies, they could have included. Even just a couple little content drops for like 5 bucks a piece... I totally would have gone for that. They could have even allowed people without the DLC to play levels with it, and maybe that would motivate them to buy it so they could create with the same stuff.

Maybe they've already started brainstorming for Mario Maker 3 on the Switch 2 lol. Maybe the next one will just be Mario Maker Ultimate and will be an ongoing service.
