Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I know the SWOLED only has minor upgrades when it comes to build materials, but it really feels much more premium than the regular Switch. When I first bought the SWOLED and held it right next to my old model, even without turning the system on, the old model suddenly felt so cheap and flimsy in comparison.

Ppl think those talking up the OLED are blowing smoke, but the reactions are pretty consistent with being impressed. It's hard to convey just how awesome it is until you've got one in hand.

It feels like Switch perfected.

check out 50 screenshot of Kirby and the Forgotten Land and check out the overview trailer for Pokémon Legend Arceus.

In the event that Forgotten World isn't the only Kirby release this year given the anniversary (though likely the only brand new title), which of the following do you think is most likely...

A. Kirby 64 on NSO.
B. A no frills port of Dream Collection.
C. An HD port of ONE of the following (Return to Dreamland, (Extra) Epic Yarn, Triple Deluxe, Planet Robobot).
D. A collection of 2-4 titles from option C.
E. Something else (like a Rainbow Curse port).

I'd personally like to see option D come true, but most likely A if anything.

@RR529 I'm no big follower of the Kirby series, but my impressions are that A is dead certain and then maybe E is most likely, followed by B, C, D.

@RR529 A,C or D will happen with the celebration of Kirby 30th anniversary, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the 30th anniversary game.

I'd love some Kirby compilations tossed over to us this year.

@RR529 I think I have the most realistic option, as much as it pains me to say it: merch. A whooooooooooole lotta merch.
I desperately want the modern games to come as a collection but realistically, with an entirely new game this year, I get the feeling Nintendo will be like 'job's a good un' and have merch be the big selling point this year. Plushies, posters and all kinds of other trinkets being sold throughout the year on the store. That's my take anyway.
EDIT: I realised afterwards I never really gave a proper answer to your question so I would absolutely adore a modern collection, as stated previously. Love Triple Deluxe and I've never played the other two games in the unofficial trilogy so I would love to give those a shot. Specifically, Planet Robobot. It looks amazing.

@RR529 I think A already having been announced back in September in addition to NSO already having Super Star and Dream Land 3 deconfirms B. I don't see D happening at all and while I could see C happen someday (Extra Epic Yarn because it's a Switch era 3DS release), I don't think it'll be this year. As for E, I could see a Kirby Game & Watch and a load of merch.

@RR529 I think we'll probably just get 'A', but I'd like to see Kirby's Air Ride get a port - missed it on GC and used prices now are way more than I'm willing to pay.

@RR529
A is already confirmed.
What I expect isnt on your list. I think we'll get Dream Collection 2, containing all the GB/GBC/GBA games not in Dream Collection + Air Ride. Maybe the DS titles too, or instead of Air Ride.

That'd give us... Block Ball, Dream Course, Pinball Land, Avalanche, Star Stacker and Tilt N Tumble as spin-offs, with Amazing Mirror, Nightmare in Dream Land, and maybe Squeak Squad and Canvas Curse and Super Star Ultra as major titles. Oh and Mass Attack.

I do think there's a small chance of getting both Dream Collection 1 as a limited time release and Dream Collection 2 though.

I applaud this post because it's made me put my mind to the topic of the anniversary in a more specific way than I had previously.

The 20th anniversary never saw a PAL release, so it would be nice to get something akin to that, but at the same time I think I'm just as hopeful for something like the Mario 3D All-Stars collection, consisting of Kirby 64, Epic Yarn and Planet Robobot (even though I own the last 2).

And a Kirby themed pink Game & Watch would be irresistible.

I'd love to see Epic Yarn and Planet Robobot get ported over. I think Kirby 64 on NSO is the only release that will happen outside of Forgotten Land though as far as the anniversary goes.

Limited edition of Trails from Zero is live.

Oh sweet baby Jesus, yes. Yes please.

@Ralizah
Preordered!

I have Trails of Cold Steel III and Trails of Cold Steel IV Collector Editions on Switch.

This one was non-negotiable

Well this year is looking expensive already. Byleth figure, now this.

Welp I have some free time so I think I will start an RPG. Not sure which one though. The backlog looks really bad currently.

@Ryu_Niiyama
I think Byleth is cheapest on Amazon Japan accounting for shipping. Came out to just over 23,000¥ for me. While Amiami is lower, their shipping is usually around $50 for larger box items. Also, Amazon Japan has price guarantee if it goes lower over next 12 months

Earlier this afternoon I read the comments above and previous page re. not realising how good SWOLED was until you got it in your hands, and I was meaning to comment that that was exactly what I was waiting for - some IRL experience of one to see whether the hype was legit or not, but it just so happens that my kid has a friend round this evening and they've brought their SWOLED with them.

Now, I've only briefly held it, to enter our wi-fi code for them, so only seen the home screen, system menu, and a few seconds of Animal Crossing, but for me it is rather as I suspected: it's fine, it's nice, the screen seems very glossy, but... it was by no means a 'OMG I have to get one of these' moment.

The kick-stand was indeed nice and felt just as I hoped it would. That's the bit I'm most jealous of at the moment, but it's not like I'm running out to get one any time soon based on what I've seen.
