Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@gcunit well if you want to get technical about it the shops are getting them without paying for them first ;p

Could be wrong but I think the physical version of Minecraft might be different from the digital version. Like the digital version currently on the eshop is the bedrock version meanwhile the physical version is on the more stable version prior to bedrock which is delisted on the eshop.

@Slowdive Publisher EA? Sure.

@Slowdive Lol, it's not E3 without Walmart Canada leaks. Sometimes turns out to be wrong though like Walmart Canada listed Splinter Cell a few years ago and that IP is completely dead.

@jump I remember when I picked up the PS Vita day one at Game who were nearly about to go under. The box for everything PS Vita related had stickers on saying "Property of Sony Computer Entertainment".

@Slowdive I saw that earlier and it’s already been debunked as it’s been listed for over a year on there.

@Slowdive Oh, I do hope Prince of Persia comes to Switch. I loved that game on the 'cube.'

@Slowdive Honestly, I'm shocked. I assumed it just came out and no one mentioned it since it had been generally been decided to be horrible looking. I wonder if it might turn out good yet... Sand of Time is still an all time favorite of mine.

@Slowdive Isn’t Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown exclusive to PS5 in the same way Street Fighter V was to the PS4?

@Slowdive I may as well get it on PS5 as it’s in the June PS+ “free” games to download.

The problem with websites referencing other platforms is that they usually use a template built on a CMS such as WordPress so there is always the possibility that the code for these other platforms is there because it’s in the main CMS template.

@FragRed Probably not. Given that it's just a revision of an existing Virtua Fighter game, it's probably just Sony paying for timed exclusivity, not funding development. Given the hints of other platforms in the future, that seems almost certain.

I've not played a Virtua Fighter in properly decades, are they any good nowadays or stand out from the crowd from the likes of Tekken, Street Figher etc?

@jump This is a remake of the one from 2005 and none have released in-between so... you're probably caught up.

I was probably going to get VF4 anyway on PS4/PS5 because I just prefer the PlayStation controllers for fighting games because of their d-pads

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony did pay for exclusivity though. They definitely have the leverage with fighting games now that they're directly involved in that subsection of the industry even on a massive competitive level

I don’t like fighting games, except on rare occasion. Street Fighter II and Smash are the only ones I come back to. All the others I play for an hour and never touch again. I liked Samurai Showdown and DB Fighter Z. They’re good games but, just not games I enjoy more than once. Ultra Street Fighter II is my favorite fighting game. Got the Hori Arcade Stick just for that.

But virtue fighter is one of the absolute least enjoyable fighting games I’ve ever played. Right under Tekken. I hope it comes to switch for the people that enjoy it, but ya.

Leaker Samus Hunter indicate what games could release on Switch in 2021/2022.

@Giancarlothomaz you don’t need to post the exact same thing in multiple threads.

@Giancarlothomaz
There’s overwhelming evidence they’re a fraud that steals leaks from others and claims it as their own. It’s Marcus Sellars all over again. One should never share “leaks” without doing due diligence on the source to verify if they’re reputable first. Otherwise you get all kinds of false claims being peddled and people lose their faith in leaks as a whole.

There very well may be some things that turn out to be true that they have said, but only because they stole legitimate info from others and passed it off as “inside info” of their own.

What’s more is, this is just their speculation. It’s not even a fake leak. You might as well grab some random YouTube commenter’s speculation and post it here, because it offers about the same insight.

I might have said this before, but did I tell any of you guys Brawl was my first smash game, and my first game I ever played/learn'd, Right when I played it, I fell in love with video games, next thing you knew I was playing lego games, DK games, mario games, And the first character, I learn'd to play was, Mr Game & watch, So ya he is like my fav SSB character ever.

Don’t encourage them! ;p
