Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@rallydefault only in-store unfortunately. This stinks if they're out and let's say you wanted to go to BB for a copy of a game, BB would only price match based on what's on the website.

Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. Wouldn’t have even known if somebody didn’t point it out.

Having said that, I find those getting upset because of the change (if there are any? I haven’t seen anyone) to be no more absurd than the people who would have gotten upset if it wasn’t changed.

1 more day until it all starts with Summer Game Fest. Glad that it's being streamed on Nintendo Life, a lot better with the Nintendo Life comments section.

@RR529 I mean, usually I'm anticensorship, but being forced to act like a pedo in a game in a mandatory scene isn't my idea of a fun time. So it sounds like an improvement to me lol

With Famicom Detective Club now released I assume the developer, Mages, will get back to work on Steins;Gate 0 Elite and its sequel? I recently began Robotics;Notes Elite. Here, a little over five hours in, and it's pretty good as well. It makes me hope Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child get Switch ports eventually.

Would be nice to have the entire mainline Science Adventure series on Switch.

Although there are several spinoff games.

is Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 gonna apear at E3 2021?

I hope we get a Ninja Gaiden Master Collection review soon. I really want to pick it up for Switch, but I know that (even though it shouldn't be a problem) sometimes devs have had a hard time optimizing PS360 era games on the system.

@RR529 Aren't they based on the Sigma versions that everyone hates (for some reason, I know nothing on the matter) anyways? I doubt it'll get good reviews.

@link3710, @Slowdive, as far as I know the dislike for the Sigma versions largely stems from the fact that they're easier than the original releases & also removed enemy dismemberment. Now, they did add better/redesigned graphics (which I think may be another subjective point of criticism for some), as well as new playable characters and costumes, but I don't think many fans of the originals found those to be worthwhile tradeoffs.

I don't think they're considered bad games in isolation, and I believe they said something about the collection having a wider variety of difficulty options to choose from, so you should be able to play on a difficulty more comparable to the originals if you wish (or stick with the easier options). Not sure about the dismemberment though.

could Games Stop be planing a Zelda E3 event?

People may talk trash about the Sigma versions, but I’ll be the first to say, thank God it’s the Sigma versions and not the originals. Let me tell you. I have these games on Vita. And even the Sigma versions are brutal as is. The originals made Dark Souls seem feel like Animal Crossing by comparison. My brother is hardcore into the series and I’ve watched him play, and he would tell me how bad the originals were (though he still loved Ninja Gaiden Black). Nobody but the utmost diehard fans would actually want those original versions though. For the vast majority of more casual gamers (such as myself) who want to enjoy the franchise, you’ll be grateful it’s the Sigma versions. Not saying every change is for the better, but if you weigh it, there are far more pros than cons.

Btw... friendly reminder that we have just 6 days to e3 (because as far as I’m concerned, Nintendo’s showcase is my e3). And one more month to Monster Hunter Stories 2.

720p this is why people want a pro!!!!!

Ninja Gaiden II on the 360 was a total blast (the very first game I owned for the system, actually!), but apparently the Sigma version rebalances the game by reducing the number of enemies and making them much harder to dismember. It also removes most of the gore and replaces it with a weird purple haze effect. Not a fan.

Then again, it's not like I'm very willing to pull out my 360 to replay the game.

Ugh...

@sixrings Just get a power console. You're WAY too concerned about abstract performance/image quality numbers to be happy sticking with Nintendo going forward, as they'll continue to be the manufacturer with the weakest device on the market. Even if a Switch revision happens, it's probably not going to dramatically improve performance for older releases like this.

@Slowdive i see.

Capcom localization director Janet Hsu explain the chalenges of localizing the Great Ace Attorney Cronicles.

Xbox players get to pick which version of Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 they want. Trilogy for the Sigma versions or backwards compatibility for the original versions. Razor's Edge is the only version of Ninja Gaiden 3 on XB1/Series X|S though.

@Ralizah, apparently the Master Collection has a day one patch that lets you add the blood & gore back into the second game, but apparently the ports themselves are pretty rough (unless the day one patch helps there too).

So Kingdom Come: Deliverance finally got announced for Switch. Sounds like a Pro-enhanced game to me. And Monkey Ball Banana Mania rated again- maybe its actually coming soon.

That new Monster Hunter Stories 2 trailer is looking super crispy

check out the story trailer of Monster Hunter Stories 2:Wing of Ruin

Welp, Axiom Verge 2 is now coming not just to PC and Switch on day one, but also PS4. I guess the delays ran that exclusivity money from Nintendo out?
