Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I saw an article...

Classic rumour-mongering right there

What's your sauce bruh?!

@gcunit I saw a Gamexplain video covering it.

@Fizza
It's massive. They've done a miracle with Monster Hunter on Switch. This is how you build a AAA game ground up for the hybrid.

There's so many excellent changes with the Sunbreak expansion.

• You can bring story NPCs on quests with you in single player now, including 5 new Sunbreak NPCs, Hinoa and Minoto from Kamura and other Kamura NPCs
• You can now have FIVE Switch Skills registered in your loadout, and, we get TWO separate loadouts that can be swapped between on the fly. That's 10 different custom Switch Skills we can use on quests- the sheer breadth of variety this brings to your playstyle is unprecedented
• Switch Skill Evade even allows you to perform an evasive maneuver and swap Switch Skill loadouts in one fell swoop
• Seregios is back! Which means bleed status is back, and his weapons which increase sharpness when dodge rolling make a return as well
• Can now choose to not mount monsters in a mountable state
• Can now run up walls without wiredashing into them first
• Limited Edition Pro Controller

Thought you probably would, @JaxonH .... I'd expect there to be 1 for that game, too, @Grumblevolcano

I'm a big fan of replaying games after three months or so. Or in this case eight.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a great game. Although part of me wishes there was a... normal ending, ironically. The horror shook me for weeks!

New monsters for MH Rise Sunbreak that we know about as of today...

BRAND NEW

• Malzeno
• Garangolm
• Lunagaron

RETURNING

• Astalos
• Shogun Ceanataur
• Seregios

NEW SUBSPECIES

• Blood Orange Bishaten
• Aurora Somnacanth
• Magma Almudron

That minmin amiibo is gorgeous. Very detailed.

@Ryu_Niiyama
It is indeed. One of the most finely detailed I've seen.

I think their quality improved over the last few years. These new Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak amiibo coming next month look really good too, imo

I hope we get Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade 3 pro controllers

Can somebody link the streams for the Indie Worlds here? I'll miss them due to being at work and don't want to get spoiled when I get back.

@Fizza
Here is the link.

@JaxonH Nice photos! I love how much the quality has improved, super excited for the MH ones

@Anti-Matter Thank you! Just watched the presentation there.

Nintendo is worried from the transition to it next console.

@JaxonH Yeah, that’s why I don’t mind the cost increase. We have come along way from first print marth amiibo.

@Ryu_Niiyama
That sword is still bent lol 😆

Given recent delays, it looks like Nintendo may have the holiday season to themselves this year. Elden Ring has definitely got a guaranteed GotY win too.

LONG HAVE WE WAITED, HOME SUPPORT ACTIVATED.

@Grumblevolcano for major releases God of War:Ragnarok and Starfield are still “scheduled” to launch this holiday and less important titles include Gotham Knights, Forspoken, Stalker 2, and Forza Motorsport. But yeah, Elden Ring is pretty much a lock for GotY and Nintendo has a good chance to win the console wars this holiday if production matches demand.

@LiNeR Well, Starfield did just get delayed to the first half of 2023. It likely wasn't going to win GOTY anyway though thanks to Elden Ring. Maybe it'll have a shot next year squaring up against BOTW 2
