Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

If you're a Nintendo fan, you've already bought all the games being delisted on the 31st. Mario 35th, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. It's only unfortunate for late adopters of the platform. I think their being delisted is ridiculous but it's classic "Nintendo being Nintendo."

Nintendo doing things such as this shouldn't be a surprise for anyone familiar with the company.

check out a preview of New Pokémon Snap, that release on Switch worldwide on april 30th

@Magician Uh...bought Mario 35th? That's the one game that Nintendo really is smashing up lol.

@link3710

Bought, or clicked "download", same difference. You cheeky so-n-so.

@Magician My point was more that it doesn't matter if someone downloaded it or not before the end of the month it still won't be playable either way lol

@Magician

Ah, I see. Although it makes me wonder about the physical release for Fire Emblem. Will those download codes be honored past the the 31st? I assume they will be, but you know what they say about assumptions.

@Magician They are as confirmed by the most recent 3D All Stars article:

@Shadowthrone Nintendo did communicate this very well though. As much as I disagree with the tactic they’ve communicated it like it should have been.

Nintendo will start March 31st off with a tweet that's just a video of the Nintendo headquarters PS1 Crash commercial.

Who likes Asterix and beat em ups? Because there’s a new game coming out this year

@FragRed Never seen any Asterix related media but I enjoyed the scott pilgrim game so maybe!

@FragRed
I am quite knowledgeable in the destroying aspect, yes. lol

@FragRed Aye, count me in. I happened to hit up Microids on Twitter this avo to ask when the Asterix XXL Collection was releasing, then I went back later to see if they'd replied (they haven't 😭) and saw their tweet about this 2D game. Coincidence.

@gcunit According to Amazon U.K., the Switch collection of Asterix XXL was 27th May. Does that help?

@FragRed I had seen that, but I hadn't seen anything official from Microids. It was due to release in 2020 originally, so I was hoping for some reassurance from the publisher.

@gcunit Odd. It’s just a collection so I’m not sure what the hold up would be.

Nintendo updated the NSO trailer from the September 2018 Direct and this new upload still has more dislikes than likes

@Grumblevolcano No wonder, that was dreadful. And they’re promoting Mario 35 which is being removed in a week? This is going to be incredibly dated in such a short amount of time.

It's almost as if they're building to some sort of announcement...

@gcunit That announcement is "We are removing Mario 35 today and it ain't coming back" followed by a whole week more of Nintendo Life articles on the subject
