Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@kkslider5552000 Halo, the whole "Bungie good, 343i bad" narrative is obnoxious. Most of the issues that cropped up with 343i's Halo games are a result of Microsoft forcing a release when not ready.

A Lego Mario set based on SM64 when you can't even buy it on Switch anymore (delisted 5 months ago) doesn't sound like a good idea.

@Grumblevolcano Ahh so that’s the Nintendo September Direct Joking, though it’s Nintendo so maybe not.

@Grumblevolcano To be fair, that is kinda cool.

Hmm, it's a cool looking block, actually ... Won't bother myself but I bet it'll sell well

Maybe Nintendo should write a novelization of Super Mario 64 so people know the story for these Lego bricks?

@Sdelintwouters I looked forward to enthralling reading of having to go beind King Bob-omb and pressing Y.

Forgot to use my switch for handheld play😵😵

Yay!

Tomorrow is Friday, which means weekend, and it also means WarioWare. In fact, the game should release in about 45 minutes, but… work the morning and eyelids are heavy.

@Sdelintwouters
There was a 3rd party White Pro Controller for Nintendo Switch.
It's called Power A Enhanced.

@Sdelintwouters
Well, alternative way is swap the shell of Pro Controller with White color. The shell replacement is 3rd party product but you keep the 1st party product for the internal.
It will be like this after swapping.

I did like that too for my Joy Cons (replaced the Neon Red shell with White shell)

@Sdelintwouters
I'm sure they'll have tempered glass out near launch. That said, I'm torn on using one for the OLED. I'm afraid it may affect the luster and brilliance of the OLED display.

I think for the OLED model I may just use it raw

Seems Bayonetta 3 is about done. Kamiya says they're very proud of it and can't wait to show it off.

@JaxonH That still wont stop the manchildren from complaining about it being vapourware and being angry at Nintendo for lying to them.

@Sdelintwouters
Oh, i ordered the Switch controller shell replacement from Ebay. After i got the thing, i brought to my local video game repair shop to swap my Neon Red shell with White shell.

Wow.

Epic actually won their court case against Apple. Judge says they have to allow apps to direct to alternative payment systems.

That's... unexpected. This will certainly embolden Epic to steamroll anyone in their path.

@JaxonH At least that's good news for smaller developers either just on the app store or on gaming platforms like Roblox. That potentially means more money for them.

@HotGoomba
Ya, there's always winners and losers. Pros and cons to everything.

If Apple has to allow 3rd party payments though, that could open the door to other closed platforms such as Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo and Steam.

The precedent has been set.

I mean really, in practice, they both lost. Epic got what they said their goal was, but they lost I think like every other count. So Epic will likely to be forced to pay billions in damages and costs, while Apple may lose out on billions long term based on the decision.

Wonderful news! This is the absolute best case scenario.
