@Ralizah I thought the February release window was peculiar when I read the newsletter last night. I just assumed that it had been pushed back after it was written and I guess the updated newsletter more or less confirms that. Hopefully no more delays.

@BenAV Hopefully not. I don't look forward to a ton of indies, but I've built up quite a high level of interest in this one.

Hoping we'll hear more about Disco Elysium soon as well.

@WoomyNNYes
I was wondering how do we play Quickspot games on docked mode ?
Will we use the Joy Cons like Wiimote to point the different spots ? (There was a Quickspot game on Wii, I Spy...)

@Ralizah I'm really keen for Gnosia too. I check the Japanese eShop regularly and I remember looking at it when it came out there like this looks really cool, shame it'll probably never get an English release. It was a very pleasant surprise when it was announced.

@Anti-Matter With Spot the Difference Party!, playing docked, you use your analog stick to control a pointer on the screen. Press a button to select the area where you see a difference, and a circle appears around the difference. Works fine!

Some things that do bother me a bit for the Switch

1. No orange indicator to tell that its charging, you have to wake the screen up. Even most smartphones have an led that tells its charging and not at charge.

2. I'm beginning to miss the activity log. 3DS has such a fine log that tells the date, time and the most played...why did they decide to remove this for the Switch. And I don't care much about the folders not being there even so why the log is absent. Hopefully, there is an app that does the activity log.

3. Really...Nintendo hasn't done many efforts to bring in more of their legacy content to the Switch. I can understand that Wii, GCN, DS and 3DS might be difficult(Although Sunshine and Skyward sword out now making the former two doable) But why not GB, GBC and GBA..those were golden times man.

And that's really what bothers me the most. I can't say anything on the drift since I've never experienced it for even three whole years of using them. Everything else about the Switch is amazing. I love SMO and 3H. For some reason, SMO being outsold by BOTW bothers me a lot.

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why

@Socar I think after the success of Link’s Awakening remake, and now the 3DS remaster of Miitopia coming to Switch, it’s possible that Nintendo are looking at these libraries as ways to create new content and selling and them at full price instead. It’s an easy money making business move.

@JaxonH

Gnosia is basically the same as Among Us, conceptually.

Gameplay is completely different though.

Gnosia is a single player, adventure, visual novel and not an online multiplayer party game.

Oh, March 4th is pretty soon. Guess I better pick up my pace in my playthrough of Corpse Party so I can finish it by then and play Gnosia at launch.

March 4th! Preorders open tomorrow, apparently.

Glad we finally have a date.

@BenAV The original Corpse Party?

Currently Playing: Yakuza Kiwami 2 (PC); Unicorn Overlord (NS)

BenAV

@Ralizah Yep, first game. No announcement of a Western release yet so instead of waiting I decided to just grab it off the Japanese eShop as it has a 33% off launch sale there.

@Grumblevolcano Yay! We'll also see if there's any remixes. Sounds petty but as much as I love Pyra and Mythra in Smash, and believe me, I'm addicted to the series, less so for XC2, I don't play Smash, and I'm more excited about what remixes they have.

Nintendo seems to be heading straight for the weekly Nintendo news:

  • February 17th - General Direct
  • (Probably) February 26th - Pokemon Direct
  • March 4th - Pyra/Mythra showcase for Smash Ultimate
  • March 10th - Maybe a Mario announcement for MAR10 Day?

etc.

@Grumblevolcano Pokémon Company already confirmed they gonna do a presentation on Pokémon Day to showcase news regarding Pokémon 25th anniversary,(if you check Pokémon Twitter Acount, they are doing a countdown for the Pokémon Day, this seen to imply they gonna do a Pokémon Direct to showcase news regarding Pokémon 25th anniversary,)is good that now Nintendo is contantly doing news for it games and third party games coming to Switch, it seen that Nintendo is finally slowing recovering for the effects of the pandemics.

i like HD Rumble.

@Giancarlothomaz I think Friday is more likely for a Pokemon Direct as in the past Pokemon Direct appeared on Friday when Pokemon Day was on a weekend.

@TheJGG It'll be interesting to see the balance between the games (from the trailer it looks like we're getting XC2 and XCDE music at the least). Hopefully XCX isn't avoided this time.
