Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Grumblevolcano In all seriousness, since Mercedes presumably paid Nintendo to put the car in the game rather than the other way around, there shouldn't be an expiration date, right?

Glad to see the Ezio Collection finally announced!

@IceClimbers
Heck yes. Ezio hype!

Been waiting on this. Now we'll have all the best AC games pre-reboot on Switch. And, even though I'm a digital kind of guy now, I can appreciate that of the 3 Assassin's Creed collections on Switch, each of them puts the main numbered entries on cart- AC2, AC3 and AC4.

It apparently also comes with 2 high quality videos. I love the extra content in the Switch versions of these games. Rebel Collection had all kinds of extra stuff- art pictures, videos, etc.

I wish Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City would come to Switch, but WB seems like a lame duck when it comes to porting back catalog to Switch. Still, having all the best AC games on the hybrid OLED is a massive win.

Yea. Should be an easy day 1 buy for me.

@gcunit I'm terrified of my emails, I use to check them constantly but I was betrayed so many times I changed the password on my account so I'd never seen them again.

I helped a Nigerian prince once who emailed me about a big investment deal but he never paid me back. I met the love of my life who was a huge bewb blonde from Sweden after she sent me an email about how horny she was so I sent her the money for a plane tix but she never showed up at the airport. I won the Canadian lottery after sending them my matching National Insurance, date of birth and mother's maiden name but I never become a millionaire. HRMC was supposed to send me a tax refund but I never got it despte sending them my bank details three times by email.

Emails aren't worth the trouble!!!

Shockingly, I've had very similar emails over the years, @jump ..... I particularly like emails from banks about accounts I didn't even know I had, lol

I've played about an hour of Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. Talk about a lowkey, super-charming little adventure game. Just waltzing around this tropical island snapping photos of the local wildlife. A nice little story about the nature preservation.

It's cozy.

I'd put this up there with Donut County as one of those top-tier mobile games that's worth your time.

That new Kirby trailer is insanely impressive.

I said it three places and I will say it here, That kirby trailer was Amazing!

@JaxonH it more open they i imagined, imagined Kirby and the Forgotten Land would play simiraly to Super Mario 3D World.

@Giancarlothomaz
It likely still will, but with larger, more explorable, less linear areas instead of left to right stages.

At the end of the day, I don't really care how it's structured though. It looks fun, and I'm totally into it, whatever "it" turns out to be.

Yeah, that trailer looks impressive. On par with Mario Odyssey I'd say. And I consider Mario Odyssey one of the top five reasons for owning a Switch. So yes, my anticipation for this game has taken a step up.

It has the potential to be the best Kirby ever and possibly HAL Laboratory's best game since Melee.

I’m just happy we have a release date. Game looks brilliant.

New Kirby looks amazing. Clearly not open world (it has a hub world, but there is a clear shot of the world map as well), but it looks fantastic nonetheless.

Well, thanks to holiday gift cards my fancy new SWOLED and 1TB micro sd card should be on my doorstep after work. The combined cost ended up being less than the msrp of a standard Switch, which is nice. So I'll be handing my current Switch down to my friend's kid who was asking for a Switch this holiday but her parent failed to score one. I'm also giving her the joy-con that are coming with the SWOLED rather than the drift-inflicted pair that came with the V2.

Hopefully they'll last longer for her than the usual six months they typically only last me, lol.

Okay Kirby looks fantastic. The levels look somewhere between 3D World and Odyssey in terms of openness. I'm super excited for this.

March is earlier than expected - figured they wouldn't release it until May with Triangle Strategy, Chocobo GP, and Rune Factory 5 already releasing that month.

What do we have in February so far aside from AC Ezio?

@NintendoByNature

Atelier Sophie 2
Monark
Death end re;Quest 2

It's an rpg-lover's paradise next month. Then in March it's...

Triangle Strategy
.hack//G.U. Last Recode
Rune Factory 5
Neptunia x Senran Kagura Ninja Wars

Well, Arceus is 28th Jan, @NintendoByNature .... Life Is Strange Remastered Collection Feb 1st, Dying Light 2 Cloud version 4th, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empire -15th, Monark on 22nd, with Evil Dead the game having a Feb release window

The confirmation of the March 25th release date for Kirby also gives a little credence to Nintendo tinfoil hat leaker, markomaro, in regards to their assumption that Fire Emblem Echoes will be shadow-announced and released for Switch sometime before June.
