Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Great stuff, so @magician can still spend weeks organising the icons for his physical games, @MarioLover92 ....

@BruceCM Indeed, lol! I actually really like how you can have any one game on multiple groups, I have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on both "Mario games" and "Online games" for example. It's honestly a really nice improvement from the 3DS and Wii U folders, where games would only be in one spot without any shortcuts.

I take it the Holy Grail of 'sort by file size' when archiving software has still not materialised (I'm yet to update)...?

& in your favourites folder, @MarioLover92 .... & In 1st Party? You organised all yours, then?

Not gonna lie.

I'm enjoying Rune Factory 5 way more than I thought I would.

check out the review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land and check out the technical/graphical analysis/review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land

So, about how many years into a console lifespan have we seen Nintendo Selects price drops on Nintendo games?

@WoomyNNYes usualy on the halfcycle of a console, we have a game under the Nintendo Select banner.@JaxonH Triangle Strategy soundtrack is really good, i hope is nominated for best score at TGA 2022.

i have updated my Switch to version 14.0.0, but the feature of folders/groups is not avaible to me, do i need to do something else to unlock this feature?

@Giancarlothomaz open screen of all games, then press R for Groups. Group = folder. (I think it's the R button)

@WoomyNNYes thanks for your help.

@WoomyNNYes I don’t know exactly but it’s towards the end of the lifecycle, as they I assume, are gearing up internally for the next system but want to squeeze as much money from the current one as possible.

@WoomyNNYes For DS onwards you had the following (before DS there doesn't seem to be concrete data):

• Wii U - 3.5 years
• Wii - 4.5 years
• 3DS - 4.5 years
• DS - No Nintendo Selects

So basically the more successful the console the longer it takes if present at all. I'd guess Switch doesn't get Nintendo Selects at all like the DS given the system's still selling very well even 5 years later.

@Grumblevolcano I think it also helps that Nintendo’s games have, for the most part, really good legs on the Switch so there’s no need to consider dropping the price.

@Giancarlothomaz
It won't be. It's not AAA or an upset indie that takes the world by storm, so it's automatically disqualified.

@JaxonH
Just curios.
Is that your real face from your avatar?

@Anti-Matter
Yours truly 😀

Kinda got tired of the impersonal nature of online discussion. Thought it was time to make a change.

Nintendo Selects was nice. You got the game for like $20 instead of $40-$50 on 3DS.

@JaxonH That group at SquareEnix know their music. That was one of my favorite things about Octopath Traveler. The number of quality tunes in that game is tremendous.
