Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I was looking back at some old Directs and the final Smash 3DS/Wii U presence in a general Direct was a Direct closer. In November 2015, the Direct ended with Cloud announced for Smash and the airing month of the final Smash 3DS/Wii U Direct.

So it seems likely that Smash will end the September 2021 Direct.

@Grumblevolcano it is likely given 2015, however, I wouldn't rule out a smash announcement in the very beginning either.

@NintendoByNature I think if the final character was revealed first, people would be distracted from the rest of the Direct by the outcome of what the character is that.

@Grumblevolcano that's probably true. Especially so if it's not what people wanted..

check out the review of the Great Ace Attorney Cronicles and check out the review of NEO: the World Ends with You.

@Giancarlothomaz NEO: TWEWY is fantastic, and people need to play it. Such a fantastic sequel.

Finally got around to ordering Skyward Sword HD last night and Amazon was 10 dollars under GameStop. Was a nice surprise and I have no idea why? I didn't think any special sales were going on or anything. And now I check other sites this morning and it seems everyone is down to the 50 bucks for it - I could have sworn it launched at 60.

@link3710 👍🏻

I second that.

I had to listen to my brother rave about The World Ends With You for years and years, saying they need to make a sequel. The first game has a diehard fan base and for good reason. Having gone back and played it myself now, I can see why (DS version is best, just play on 3DS).

But I fear Neo The World Ends With You will fly under the radar, even after 10-15 years waiting for its release.

3DS just got an update. In mid 2021, over TEN YEARS after the system released. If only all that stability was channeled into the Switch, which we all know, needs all the stability it can get

@DarthNocturnal That boss went from "I can't handle this" to "oh so easy" on repeated playthroughs for me tbh. Of course figuring out that spider ball counteracts his vacuum attack was a big part of that.

New Animal Crossing update on July 29th but much like the last update, it's just a refresh of the 2020 events during the same time.

This Okami crossover in Monster Hunter Rise is exactly what I was hoping for.

Next should be Wolf Link palamute with Midna as a Palico

@Grumblevolcano yay another lackluster update for Animal Crossing New Horizons, Animal Crossing New Horizon is oficialy dead for me, where is the good updates? where is Brewster? where is the QOL improvements such as Bulk Crafting or a shopping cart option to Able Sisters/ Nook Cranny? @Snaplocket try buying Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD at Amazon(they alway deliver my sister books very fast).

@Snaplocket
Digital midnight releases. Like Tony the Tiger says, they're greeaaat!

Can also switch to Amazon. Best Buy is usually on time, but delays happen. Amazon is almost always on point though. They have the trade routes under 🔐

@Grumblevolcano
Oh, 2 more days for ACNH update.

@Grumblevolcano
@Giancarlothomaz
Does it even count as an update since the fireworks are nothing new from last year? If they announced new items, then it could arguably be classed as a "minor" update. But I've looked on Twitter and the tweet doesn't say what the upcoming seasonal items are.

I've noticed Amazon ships this too soon on some cases. This is the 3rd or 4th time in recent memory where I've ordered a game that was supposedly out of stock until "a few weeks later." Just yesterday I ordered FF XII for 20 thinking, it's cool, I'm good with it coming in the first week of August since I'm pretty deep in SSHD and it turns out it's shipping today lol. I'll have to tame myself from wanting to start it until I'm done with SS.

Remember who to tag when you're playing it, though, @NintendoByNature .....

@NintendoByNature
I've also found that I get my shipments from Amazon wicked fast, and I don't even have Prime. I must live near or between a bunch of shipping warehouses or something because 9 times out of 10 when I order something, even if I choose the free shipping of like 3 days ranging to a week or more, I'll still get the item(s) within 2 days. (This is for items shipped by Amazon, not from third-party sellers.)

@BruceCM of course!! You know when I need help for any FF game I reach out to you!
@rallydefault for sure. They're always on time, and even early from what I've seen. Makes me wonder why I even order from someone else honestly.
