Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I think the delay is understandable though it does make me think what'll happen for the rest of the known Nintendo 2022 lineup. Namely Three Hopes, Splatoon 3, Xenoblade 3 and Bayonetta 3.

@Grumblevolcano I highly doubt any of those games get affected by this.

My guess is Advance Wars gets sat on until Spring 2023, when there's a gap in the release schedule.

The original Advance Wars starts off with the Blue Moon army, which is very obviously based on Russia/USSR, invading another sovereign country... yeah releasing this game right now would very clearly be in poor taste.

@Grumblevolcano i think Fire Emblem Three Hopes and Bayonetta 3 will also be delayed to 2023(specially since this games feature realictic despiction of war). @IceClimbers you also need to remember the Fire Emblem franchise feature realictic despict of war.

@JaxonH try forgetting empathy or cancel culture or whatever and just think about it as capitalistic marketing. The war is happening on the borders of both Europe and Asia which is two of the biggest markets for this game, war is literally in the name so it's just a safe measure to make sure there's no negative cognition when thinking or talking about the game so it doesn't flop and have to wait another 15 years for a game.

Erm...Bayonetta is the sexy witch game.

@Giancarlothomaz Fire Emblem depicts war in a medieval fantasy setting.

Advance Wars depicts war in a modern setting, with the first game literally starting with the in game version of Russia invading another country all while the main character repeatedly makes comments about war being fun.

There's a pretty clear difference here. Again, there's zero reason to believe Three Hopes will be delayed.

Well, we lost one today with Advance Wars, but we gained one with Square Enix's Diolfield Chronicle, confirmed for Switch.

It could be good. After how insanely stellar Triangle Strategy turned out, I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this one. Kinda looks like Fire Emblem, but in a Square Enix style.

The SRPG train must roll on.

Nice, Diofield and the TMNT collection were highlights of an actually decent State of Play for once. Glad Diofield is confirmed for Switch.

Sucks about AW and I can understand why some may think it's an overreaction to delay, but I think AW in particular just hits a too close to home right now. It would be an overreaction to delay a FE Three Hopes, which probably won't happen. But AW, despite being caetoony, I dunno..

Please tell me that TMNT collection isn't PlayStation exclusive.

@IceClimbers I have a worrying feeling that, looking at Nintendo on Twitter and YouTube, nothing announced in the State of Play is coming to the Switch

@FragRed
??

We already know JoJo Fighter is coming to Switch, and Diofield Chronicle is coming to Switch.

@JaxonH @IceClimbers Oh crap sorry my fault. I was relying on Nintendo to announce it via social media but a look on Reddit and I saw there’s a trailer for TNMT collection trailer from Konami that says it’s definitely coming to Switch. Yeah that’s my bad, I jumped the gun there. I don’t know why Nintendo have been silent about these announcements.

@FragRed
And the Ninja Turtles Collection, also confirmed for Switch.

It's hilarious that the only two games I was really interested in are both coming to Switch. Diofield Chronicles looked pretty good.

@IceClimbers

Already confirmed for Switch.

@FragRed
No worries. Page didn't refresh and I didn't see your post there.

But ya, that's 3 games for Switch out of that presentation. Not bad. At least 2 of them are games I'll be picking up (unless Diofield Chronicles ends up reviewing terribly, but I doubt that)

@Ralizah Ahh good. Day 1 on Switch then!

@JaxonH I doubt AW is delayed too long. We'll probably get a new release date once this Ukraine invasion is out of the news cycle.

I was a little gutted at first, since I'm super excited for these remakes, but I guess this means I have more time for Triangle Strategy now.

@JaxonH I am super excited about that TMNT collection, especially as I never got to play the games back in the day. Also the arcade games are on there - I assume the Turtles in Time arcade is on there as well as SNES version. Is there a list of which games are featured?

@Ralizah
Ya, I've been enjoying Triangle Strategy so much, I actually started to get pretty excited for Advance Wars. It's really put me in a strategy mood. I hope you're right- that it isn't delayed too long and we still see it this year.

But I'm most definitely down to give Triangle Strategy more time. After all, the game is kind of designed to be played through twice with New Game + and making different decisions than your first playthrough.

@FragRed
Indeed. It's a long list. Basically console and arcade versions of Turtles In Time and the fighting game. Which, I'm all about Turtles In Time, myself.

@Anti-Matter
Is that that one nine year old who makes like 30 mil a year?

Wow, 2 bangers i was not expecting coming to switch. DioField looks like it'll scratch that FE itch for me. And I can't say enough great things about the tmnt collection. Im over the moon happy about that.
