Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Fizza Ah, my apologies. Yeah, it was the customer support chat. They pretty much confirm that in the help page, as well:

You must have an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online membership to redeem icon elements. However, once an element has been added to your icon collection, you will not lose access to it—even if you no longer have an active membership.

Hope this helped.

Eh ehm...

Two more days to Triangle Strategy

Thank you and good night.

theorey: at this year's e3, nintendo could potentially have a spot for oddity, as they seem to be more indie friendly more recently (even with homage titles). Also, i think this year's e3 will be a banger just in general. This is nintendo's year, im calling it now. Also, before you say anything, my oddity prediction is not me building up for nothing, as im not really that much of a mother fan, though id very much like to and think oddity looks reaaaaally pretty

@nowthisisepic E3 was cancelled lol. There isn't going to be anything there.

@link3710 oh ***** really? Well ill bet there'll just be a june nintendo direct to compensate for the gap

@nowthisisepic Yeah, most likely it'll be sometime early summer at least. I do think the fact that E3 isn't involved might change how they handle it though.

@link3710 i doubt it, i think itll still be e3-sized. If everything we just got was just the FEBRUARY direct, then just imagine what they have left to announce. AND we just a new pokemon gen, so i think itll be big dude.

Triangle Strategy tomorrow ....

When is Wave 1 of MK8 DLC coming this month?

@nowthisisepic When E3 was cancelled in 2020 there was no major Nintendo Direct at all that summer, only those short Partner Showcases, so I wouldn't necessarily expect anything big around June specifically this year. Of course, now that covid isn't so much of a disruption it might still happen - we still need a title for the new Zelda after all, and they won't just drop that on Twitter (probably) - but the lack of E3 gives Nintendo the freedom to announce things however they want rather than put everything in one big Direct.

@Dogorilla I think that was just because of covid. That shouldn't be a problem anymore.
I feel june is a perfect opportunity for a direct, since most of the games they have showcased have been released by then.

Yay, my Triangle Strategy is in the post & due to arrive tomorrow ....

@link3710 Isn't E3 2022 being fully cancelled just rumours at the moment? Pretty sure the only confirmed thing so far is no physical event which is to be expected.

@TommyTendo March 18th

@Grumblevolcano The ESA themselves have stated that there are no plans for a live E3 event this year. Beyond that, a digital E3 event is also unlikely due to how poorly last year's E3 digital event was received. I mean who wants to watch another Take Two Interactive E3 livestream which was basically just a glorified internal corporate zoom meeting?

@Magician I think whether a digital E3 2022 happens would come down to whether Nintendo and Microsoft want to participate. Not much is happening on the Xbox front this year so far on the games front (only acquisitions) which is rather standard of pre-E3 and I could see Nintendo could go either way.

Just discovered this morning that all of the NES Double Dragon games are available on the Switch eShop. Apparently they've been on there since April 2020. I didn't see anything about it online, and there's no scores on Metacritic. And they're only $3.50 each right now. And they support online play. I guess each of the games in the Double Dragon & Kunio-kun: Retro Brawler Bundle were made available as separate downloads, but I hadn't seen anything about that until now.

I loved Double Dragon 3 as a kid, so this is kind of a big deal to me. Sorry for the interruption, carry on.

check out the overview trailer for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and check out the preview hand-on of the game.

@X-Slayer
Did I miss something?

I'm not sure what you're referring to

@X-Slayer
I don't think any of us would know.

But if you get trolled, my advice is ignore and block the user, and move on. It's the internet, after all. You're gonna encounter that just about anywhere. Best to not think too much about it.

@X-Slayer
Trying to rationalize why trolls do what they do is futile. It's all emotion based behavior, not reason based.

Just gotta ignore/block and move on, if you're going to survive the internet.
