Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@alexwolf Awesome! I'll admit I've suffered from OLED envy since the thing came out. Especially once people got their hands on it and the hostile reaction to it from the player base immediately softened, which is a good sign of a high quality product.

My launch unit is still going strong, but I'm ready for something shiny and new at this point.

It's rather weird that there's no specific release date given it's already summer. Makes me wonder if Splatoon 3 may get delayed and this is the replacement if so.

Yeah, @skywake .... & what would be more fitting for him, @Fizza ? If it is a meme, it's officially Tweeted by Nintendo channels on Twitter, with the trailer in their channels on Youtube & is being shared by the various gaming news places now

@HotGoomba oh Fall Guys Kirby

Well, it's time for the rubber to meet the road.

This person was correct last time, so I kept an eye on them. If they're right about this too, they're going in my, "take it as gospel" list

@JaxonH finaly a release date for Bayonetta 3.

I don't know if the minor plot details were already there, but it did get its ESRB rating (M, as expected).

You know, I'm starting to think my faith in those Pokemon rumours, shock of all shocks, may have been misplaced.

@Fizza Pretty much everything Riddler Khu says have come true

I can't wait for Bayonetta 3 to finally be released after hearing for years the moaning about where is it, how dare Nintendo make me wait etc only for it to come out and it's a very minor hit! ;p

@Fizza Given we've got 2 clashing rumours (both are about trailers today), I think Bayonetta 3 is the more believable one given the Youtube playlist update. You've also got that Pokemon gives a day warning for trailers which didn't happen yesterday.

As for MK8 Deluxe 7-Eleven speculation, I think what may happen is wave 2 being a shadow dropped "out now" trailer at like 1am (UK time) on Friday. As you can't buy wave 2 separately, advance warning isn't really needed so I could see the waves that don't get announced in Directs being shadow drops.

Bayonetta 3 will release in octobre 28th.

Bayonetta 1 is getting a physical version!

Well, SyluxHunter was right again.

They're officially gospel to me now.

Wow. Not one but TWO Platinum Games titles for Switch in October! And what a month it's going to be!

In a single 30 day span we're getting:

• Nier Automata
• Bayonetta 3
• Persona 5 Royal
• Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope
• Harvestella

That's packing some serious punch.

@Grumblevolcano
Oh snap.

I imported the Climax Edition of Bayo2 which came with a physical release of Bayo 1. But I definitely want that collector edition. Which seems, yet again, to not be releasing in NA. Another import, it seems.

Dang. I guess it's a good problem to have but there will seriously be no time in October for all of these!

I've just realised this Bayo 3 comes out 3 days before Halloween.... that's some pretty good timing if I do say so myself. Reminds me of when they released Luigi's Mansion 3 literally on Halloween.

Halloween release is definitely planned. Needless to say, I'm pretty happy ATM

@Fizza Whilst the gimmicky release window is nice I'm surprised they went with it. Despite Bayonetta's accolades and rabid fanbase it's far from a strong selling series, I'm pretty sure there's yet to be a single version of any of those games to hit the fabled 1m copies sold milestone, so putting it up in direct competition with another action game where players like to perv over the main character and the juggernaut of Persona I can see it struggling.
