Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@BruceCM Pretty much the gist of it. Seems to me from what sources are saying, Nintendo have beaten both Sony and Microsoft in the power arms race.

Heh, that'd be funny ..... I'll look forward to it!

@Giancarlothomaz
We already knew Monster Hunter Rise was one of the best games in the series (Idk if it'll be better than World, but it'll be darn close at worst, and personally, the gameplay is twice as fun as World, so it's a perfect fit for Switch).

As several reviewers stated, Monster Hunter Rise truly is the best game to hit the Switch since Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It's a generation defining game.

Makes me giddy for what the Switch-specific RE game could potentially be.

@FragRed
You know it, brosefina.

Switch Pro won't have exclusive games but instead exclusive visual and framerate modes. Experience your favourite Switch games like BotW and Mario Odyssey in glorious 64 bit graphics at 15fps. Forget about remakes, higher resolutions and framerates as demakes are the new hype!

Note: Every Switch Pro comes free with 4 N64 controllers and Mario Party 1

@Grumblevolcano But when you load up Mario Party, Mario is dead because of his public execution on 31st March and all the mini games are now real dark and take place around his funeral.

Nah, demake them further, @Grumblevolcano..... 8 bits, only grayscale & huge cartridges!

@FragRed
Ok, I feel like we've now crossed a line lol

@JaxonH yes and i can't wait to finaly play this amazing game in my birthday in early april.

Didn’t one of the Digital Foundry guys say a little while back that it’s highly likely what we are hearing about the new Switch is in fact 2 different systems (one a genuine successor and the other a small mid lifecycle upgrade) that either sources or journalists are getting confused and effectively merging together as one? I need to dig out when and who it was that said it.

I believe the info is getting confused between the new revision (7” OLED, slightly more powerful with 4k output via upscaling) and the next generation model (true 4k image via DLSS, brand new architecture, massive die shrink, etc) but that’s just my personal opinion. I could be wrong, and this new revision gets announced and actually has DLSS. I don’t think that’s the case but I won’t write it off as a possibility.

What people have to understand is, the recent Bloomberg article from Mochizuki was reporting speculation from analysts. All that information was analysists speculating what they think will happen based on what they’ve heard. But a lot of analysts hear the same rumors we hear and get that information confused also. So I’m personally not putting any stock into the most recent article because I draw a clear line in the sand between that, and reporting on an actual business deal for OLED screens.

GameXplain Monster Hunter Rise Review was done by two people- one veteran and one complete noob who had never played the series before. If you have never played MH, or just tried the demo and didn’t understand what you were doing, I think this review will be educational. Get the perspective of someone who’s brand new and never played a game in the series before, and was intimidated, fearing they wouldn’t be able to get it...

check out a technical and grafical analysis of Monster Hunter Rise.

April 1st rolls around and Nintendo are like “Did you really think we would pull these games and merchandise off? Hahaha. April Fools!

Can’t wait for next week on Nintendo Life. How many articles per day you think they’ll be able to come up with about 3D Mario All Stars being delisted? And how many days afterwards you think they’ll continue to squeeze them easy clicks out of the whole thing?

@FragRed WHAT! I didn't know 3D All Stars was being delisted, why is no one talking about?

@jump I know, it's almost like Nintendo are going out of their way to never ever make this public knowledge. Thank God we have Nintendo Life dropping this one of a kind article with inside information.

@FragRed Just so I understand this right, Nintendo are going to send their muscle out to go to everyone's house and smash up either the game catridge or if it was from the eshop just smash their Switch up? That's so wrong!

@jump Did you not read the terms and conditions before buying the game? It's listed quite clearly in ultra tiny print on the inside of the box, somewhere.

I believe @rallydefault knows more about how they go about destroying all evidence - he does after all know the ninjas personally.

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.
