Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Slowdive While the spammer is around my list can never be considered empty for very long, it lasted about a day. Now they've got company though, which is nice. For me 🤭.

The ignore list is helpful but I find the people I would put on ignore tend to not stick around anyway. The last time I did the guy got banned anyway. lol

One thing I've not seen anyone talking about... when the Switch revision is revealed, what colour will the joy cons be? Will they stick with the trademark neon red & blue look, or are they gonna throw us some character specific designs at last?

Maybe we will get Play Station Blue and Xbox Green.

Reminds me actually, I've got some of those Skyward Sword joy cons pre-ordered. Looking forward to them.

SOME ....? I take it you mean one pair?

Personally I think it's about time we got a pair of white joycon...its such an obvious colour and they'd go well with just about everything.

But I think white would be a bit bland as the main joycon set (especially since the competitors are largely going with white this gen) . Would be nice to see a new pair of brightly coloured joycon as well.

@BruceCM Two pairs 😛 One for lauding it with, one for keeping.

@NeonPizza I think your reading more meaning into that than what was actually said. They just pointed out your spelling error without saying something to present it as an attack on you for not liking the Switch version or they could have also just been wondering if it was a different game. It's not like they said something like "LOL YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE GAME WHY DOES YOUR OPINION EVEN MATTER".

In anycase games are good, lets talk about how games are good. ;p

@NeonPizza I mean, please do not just talk about the good, no need to dodge issues you got with the consoles. Please don't stop criticism whenever you can, as long as it is valid and can be discussed on.

@NeonPizza You know, there's almost never any reason for me to play any AAA game on my PS4 since my PC can run all of them much more smoothly, but I don't make a habit of going onto Playstation forums and saying that there's no reason to play the PS4 versions of these games.

Pointing out flaws in Switch games is fine. Hollow Knight and Mega Man running at a lower resolution on less powerful portable hardware isn't a flaw, any more than The Witcher 3 running at 30fps on PS4 is a flaw. Unless we're going with the idea that all games are inherently flawed if they're not all running at 4k60 with raytracing settings set to max, in which case, even most PS5 versions of games are flawed compared to the experiences you'd get on the most powerful PCs.

Anyway, if differences in resolution are such a big deal to you, then I recommend building that dream computer, stat. You'll enjoy your games a lot more.

@NeonPizza I think the issue is you're mainly nitpicking graphics which... Quite frankly is a 'yes, duh, the Switch is weaker and graphics aren't quite as shiny" sort of topic. So there's no discussion to be had. Especially since, quite frankly, Hollow Knight and MM11 look fantastic given the constraints of the hardware, it's not like they're disasters like some games. They're not even recent titles. So there's really no positive engagement that can be made with a post like that.

Like what's someone going to say. "Yes! Developers are lazy, Switch games should all be 4k output with antialiasing!"?

I assume everyone will be on "pins and needles" waiting for the alleged Switch Pro announcement today?

How disappointed would you be if it doesn't happen?

@Magician I wouldn't be disappointed.

I'd be sitting back with a nice ice cold drink laughing myself through the heatwave.

More so if by E3 the thing still doesn't publicly exist and Bloomberg has to try again for the next three months.

I mean really, from the initial 2016 reveal of this thing there has been people saying a revision is coming. That's before we even had a release date.

I think most people will be disappointed as they are expecting a "New" Switch supporting 4K rez 60FPS that can cook and teleport you around the world, but instead they will get the current Switch with OLED screen and smaller bezels Ohhh and new colors ofc! The most important detail of all!

@Magician I will be hype beyond belief when Nintendo announces / reveals anything! A game. A console. Whatever. Unconcerned if something doesn't happen that fits in line with a bloke on Twitter's musings. I enjoy reading rumours, but I don't hang on what they say (if you get me.) and certainly wouldn't get hostile or anything lol.

@Zuljaras I want holograms, dammit!

Yeah I think if this new Switch exists it's not going to be as huge an upgrade as people have led themselves to believe. I don't really care about it either way though so it's a win-win situation for me: if it does get announced then people will finally stop going on about the rumours, and if it doesn't then it'll be funny to see that the leaks that people were so adamant were true actually turned out to be wrong.

Nope you will get only hallucinations with this model and you will like it Next model though will be with Star Wars style holograms!

@Magician Disappointed because there wouldn't a distraction that'll make the Series X easier to buy, at least I think the Switch revision would do that.
