Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@HotGoomba No it wasn't actually, part 2 was, But not this one, in my opinion this one is waaaaaaaaaaaay better then part two in everyway.

@IceClimbers OMG! That is fantastic!!!

My brother LOVED Darksiders 3. Absolutely head over heels loved it.

He's the one who first turned me onto the series way back in the day. I bought Darksiders 2 on Wii U on his recommendation, actually.

It's more Souls-like (which explains why he loved it so much) but it wasn't as brutal as Dark Souls, which I liked. Still hard though.

Hope it runs well, and that they were smart in how they optimized it for the Switch. Darksiders 2 dropped res pretty hard in handheld mode, while the first ran brilliantly and even had a 60fps performance mode on Switch.

Also, how is that LEGO game not on Switch already? I can't even keep up with them all at this point.

Xenoblade Chonicles 3 could be nearly done, planned for a 2022 release

@Giancarlothomaz If that proves itself to be true, then i will be hyped

1 TB Micro SD $149.99 on Amazon. It's not the Extreme, so it has slower writes, but the read speed is identical to the Extreme version in tests, and that's what matters for gaming.

Stock up now for OLED and Deck!!!

(first-world problems, rambling)

I noticed Undermine is currently 50% off on the Murican eShop. That's the degree of discount I love holding out for. The problem is...I don't have enough gold coins. And I don't have enough retail games arriving in time to earn enough gold coins before the sale ends in a few days.

That's right, I can't be bothered to purchase a $5 eShop card off Amazon or something like that. I chalk it up to just...bad timing. Besides, oftentimes games that are rated as highly as Undermine are picked up by some publisher or other for a physical release, eventually.

Indie World is tomorrow which is 1-2 weeks early compared to previous years.

@Grumblevolcano could we expect informations regarding Hollow Knight Silksong in this Indie World tommorow? or we have to wait until the fall Nintendo Direct in septembre?

@Giancarlothomaz We don't know, honestly...if I were you, I would keep your expectations in check and not expect a particular game to be shown off. This goes for not just this Indie World presentation, but all future Nintendo Directs as well. All we know about it right now is that it's gonna be 20 minutes worth of indie game announcements. Yes, it would be cool to see Hollow Knight, but the truth is that it could be anything.

I might tune in if I have nothing better to do. Not expecting much, honestly, based on previous Indie World Directs.

@Grumblevolcano Screw the Samsung event where they're gonna announce new foldable phones, I've gotta watch an indie direct where Nintendo will announce anything but Silksong!

@Grumblevolcano @MarioLover92

I'm hoping to see Loop Hero, Noita, Omori, Necrobarista, and Shadow Complex Remastered. Omori was previously announced but has been really quiet. I would also hope for an update for Disco Elysium, but that won so many 2019 PC GotY awards I'm not sure that would qualify as "indie" for this presentation.

I won't be watching and I don't expect anything. I can't recall a single indie direct I cared about or felt was worth my time. There's good games shown sometimes but it's never something where I feel like it couldn't wait an hour or two til I check a news blog.

If there's anything mentioned of note, I'm sure it'll be talked about. afterward.

Hoping for a Shredder's Revenge release date!

the possible changes in gameplay we can expect in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2

The only prediction I have for Indie World is Axiom Verge 2 shadow drop. Metroid Dread releases in less than 2 months so time is running out in which a soon Axiom Verge 2 release date isn't overshadowed by Metroid Dread.

@IceClimbers pretty much what I'm hoping for too, and axiom verge 2. Tmnt is by far my most hyped indie game out there.
@grumblevolcano exactly, i wouldn't want them to cannibalize eachother.
