Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I hope that Metal Slug Tactics game comes to Switch sooner rather than later.

@Haruki_NLI at least it says coming soon! Really looking forward to it. @IceClimbers I'm hoping it does too. Really liked the look of it

@Haruki_NLI I don't believe it ever had a Switch exclusive deal. Nintendo was just the first announced and I'm pretty he said he was going to announce Sony/Microsoft plans later.
He did say that Epic has a timed exclusive PC deal though, but also added it will come to Steam eventually as well.

Shoutout to Sega for their Switch announcements during the SGF presentation.

Endless Dungeon and Two Point Campus look great.

@Shadowthrone He never said exclusive but it did specifically say "other platforms later". Here we are 18 months on from that, and the release keeps getting pushed back, rightfully, but suddenly the PS4 is part of that.

Makes me think it was planned as PC/Switch with others later, but it's been so long that the "later" is now, right after another delay.

Was there another Mario kart 8 deluxe update.

@Ninfan Yes, there was one last month:

Ver. 1.7.2 (Released May 25, 2021)

Addressed an issue that caused tournament points to be reset.
Addressed an issue that caused match history with friends to be reset.

Get your wallets ready, E3 Digital Deal incoming. I'm still waiting on those games unlikely to get a physical release to hit 50% off. Grid Autosport, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, and Fuser in particular (the publisher for each game has disregarded a physical release). Fingers crossed one or all get a sizeable discount.

Hoping XC2 gets a decent discount

Started playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma (the first one) and it’s amazing. I’d forgotten how good this game is. It looks so much better on Switch than it did on Vita, both on TV and in handheld. Runs great too.

I thought about playing in Hero mode, but auto blocking doesn’t sit well with me. I’d be down for less difficulty, but not if it’s going to remove basic skill requirements. So far, Normal is providing good challenge that keeps me on my toes but isn’t too overbearing.

@JaxonH, yeah, I've started playing it for the first time (on normal), and it's tough but I haven't died yet. Still very early going though, as I'm only on Chapter 2 and just finished up fighting a bunch of horseback riders in the village. I feel like I'm overusing healing items though, and I've bought some at shops which I feel probably won't be good in the long run if you're supposed to save up for more substantial upgrades.

Stupid question, but how do you actually use Ninpo? I equipped the fire scroll after acquiring it, but it doesn't say how to use it.

@RR529
Think you press X+A but you might need to experiment. I’m no expert and early myself. But ya, pretty sure it's X+A iirc.

@MarioLover92 I had another update on tuesday and was just wondering what it was for, I did search to see what it was but nothing turned up

@Ninfan That must be the latest system update. (It's another one of those stability updates.) I've seen that people have been having trouble downloading/updating their games when that came out, hopefully that will be fixed soon.

Game Builder Garage has a free demo.
