Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Ya. What you see is what you get.

It's Wii Sports, but with online, in full HD and without the corny Mii characters. That's all I wanted.

I just want to play bowling and golf. The fact Switch OLED can be propped up in tabletop mode with a nice 7" screen for bowling in the office, or golf in the office, is the dream realized. I'm definitely going head to head with some of my reports in the lab 😀

Badminton, chambara and soccer look like good fun too, though. Even tennis and volleyball will help provide variety, if nothing else.

@JaxonH why do you hate the Mii so much, they are snymom with the Wii series.

@Giancarlothomaz
I just don't like their designs. They're too basic, ugly and don't provide an aesthetically pleasing result.

I appreciate them being iconic for the Wii era, but I have no desire to see them out stay their welcome any further beyond the years they already have. It's 2022. I just don't care for having Mii focused games anymore like it's 2006.

@JaxonH
I personally still like Mii with its limited facial features as I like quirky Mii games like Tomodachi Life, Miitopia.

Miis worked well on the sub-HD Wii on CRT televisions. But in the HD era 15 years removed, they're grossly outdated. I never liked Microsoft's soul-less avatars, but I always wanted more of that style, just with more flair and character.

I actually really like the avatars in Switch Sports. They're a cross between the style exhibited in Splatoon, and the Animal Crossing artstyle (particularly the noses). Both of those games, coincidentally, coming from the same developer.

They nailed it with the Switch Sports avatars, imo. That's the style they should go with moving forward. Much more customization potential and, they just look better, I think.

babe wake up new Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes trailer dropped.

I was already sold on this because Fire Emblem, but 3 routes confirmed and evil Byleth? Hell yes!

@Fizza Probably too tired of the gameplay to take on yet another warriors game that soon. I am looking forward to the music and if it actually spices up the gameplay somewhat (which i don't expect at all) and manages to have a coop without stuttering (which i believe even less) i might even get it after launch!

That trailer makes me think that picking certain routes in Three Hopes will spoil other routes in Three Houses. For example, Golden Deer Three Hopes path spoiling story points from the Black Eagles Three Houses path.

INJECT THAT FIRE EMBLEM THREE HOPES CONTENT DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS

Ok, this game is looking hype.

I'm not really a Warriors fan, but Fire Emblem just melds nicely into the genre- the strategic aspects are a perfect match.

@JaxonH My only problem with them is that in Wii sports games, your progress was tied to them. Meaning you couldn't transfer your progress when you moved from one wii to another.

Surprised this isn’t reported by Nintendo Life yet… oh wait, they’re real slow with reporting on news.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/04/former-playstation-... @FragRed .... Seems to have been posted pretty soon after the Tweet, as well

@BruceCM That’s what I get for drinking double vodkas and trying to navigate the internet 😂

I've got some fresh @Anti-Matter bait.

With all the VO I wouldn't have guessed this is an iOS port.

How many, @FragRed ....? You getting the Switch version, then?

@BruceCM 5 so far. I got it with PS+ on PS5, but I’ll be getting it again for Switch. Especially as there’s DLC coming for it. It’s a good, but weird game. You played it?

I don't have any PS systems, @FragRed .... Doesn't appeal to me but I know quite a few who played it on PS & I'm sure there'll be people who were hoping it'd come to other platforms

@Magician
Wow, thanks for the video. 😃
Harvest Moon + some magics = Wylde Flowers.
Btw, I noticed the game was rated PEGI 3 but then I saw same gender marriage in the end of trailer, that means it was same case as newest Story of Seasons games with same gender marriage. If I can play as Boy character in Wylde Flowers, I will get married with the bachelors. ☺
