Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I do the opposite of a lot of people when a new game in a series I love comes out. I actively avoid games in the series to replay. Because I want the new game to really feel fresh, and going back to the previous games...does not do that (unless the new one is wildly different to past games).

That being said, Metroid was an exception in the past. I replayed both Primes the year before Prime 3, Super Metroid was intentionally put on VC before Prime 3 as well and I went for that and also I played Metroid 2 when AM2R came out before playing AM2R (which unintentionally lead to playing a 3rd version of Metroid 2 a year later).

@JaxonH maybe that Chozo destroy the others Chozos, to prevent the Metroid to end in nefarious hand

Gotta love the Switch with Binbok joycon 😀

I refuse to game portably any other way... until Steam Deck, anyways, which will be a fine addition to the handheld arsenal.

@JaxonH I'm really thinking about getting those but I just got the split pad pro last year 💀

Maybe I'll get them once I get a Switch OLED.

@HotGoomba
If you want the full handheld experience, there’s simply no other alternative.

Gyro on par with official joycon, full wireless, 3-intensity rumble settings, wake-up from sleep (most 3rd party joycon can’t do this, if they’re even wireless to begin with), and ergonomics that find a superior middle ground between the ultra thin joycon and uber-thick Split Pad Pros, allowing the Switch to still fit in some carry cases without going XXL size.

I was just thinking of ordering another pair for the OLED myself, but I figure I can just use these, and attach normal joycon to the docked Switch, since I would only ever use the OLED for handheld once I get it anyways.

Hori really dropped the ball. When even some unknown brand can put out a pair of joycon for less money that offers twice as many features and better ergonomics, you’re selling off brand name alone. And that won’t last forever. People will realize there are better products out there and move on.

I hope this is true

There goes the E3 2022 headline announcement down the drain 🤭

Of course they're working on a new Xenoblade. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Not convinced a voice actor saying "I think they might be working on a new game" is evidence though. If she was involved, she'd know it.

Wonder how well this will run. Not sure I'll be picking this up at launch though cause it releases in the middle of the September/October release onslaught.

I didn't love Darksiders III that much and the fact the port's coming out during the Fall season where there will be buttloads of games to play across all the platforms I own means I'm probably never picking this up

This one's been rumored for ages haha. Gonna be too busy with Monkey Ball and Metroid though.

It wasn't already on Switch?

Honestly a really good Marvel game. The fanservice and respect for the comics material is really well done in this game

@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
