Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Anti-Matter cool. I’ll try out tinykin when I get the chance.

@Ninfan
Well, good games are not just shooter games only.
Other genre games are still great to try.

@Kermit1 You got an email address? I just bought you a year of NSO with the Expansion pack. I am assuming you can use the US codes in Canada.

@Kermit1
Join a group of 8 and split cost on a family plan. That's what I do. Can't beat $10/yr for Expansion Pack!

I was kinda confused when the Goldeneye trailer started up because there was a Metroid user icon on the upper left side of the screen, lol.

Glad I am not the only one...at first I thought it was N64 Remix...

Oh, and we're finally getting Tales of Symphonia Remastered! That's what's up.

But man... people complain Nintendo only does Mario, Zelda and Pokemon... yet ignore all the masterclass games they offer besides that- Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, Fire Emblem Engage, Pikmin 4, an actual good 2D Kirby game, golf being added to Switch Sports, Bayonetta 3, even Fatal Frame 4 (which Nintendo does own enough to keep exclusive, even if they're letting KT publish).

Meanwhile others complain they only want Mario, Zelda and Pokemon. Yet are disappointed despite having a brand new Mario game in October, a brand new open world Pokémon releasing in November, and the sequel to Zelda Breath of the Wild releasing in May. When you only care about 3 franchises and all 3 of them are on Deck for release in the near future, what more could you reasonably want?

Some people will just never be happy no matter what.

Pikmin 4 look too good to be a Switch game, my gut feeling tell me Pikmin 4 is a Switch sucessor game.

It does look good. But we said the same thing about Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Splatoon 3, yet they both turned out to be Switch games. So I'm a little hesitant in declaring it "too good for Switch". As good as it looks, I imagine it will indeed be Switch footage. Even if a new pro model releases, I don't think they'd falsely show footage running on that. They'd show Switch footage and then impress later on with an even better looking version, rather than disappoint later on with a worse looking version for the system they advertised this as being for.

check out the overview trailer for Bayonetta 3.

All of these cool reveals, and people are butthurt about the absence of some ancient GameCube titles.

Whatever.

@Giancarlothomaz I remember marveling at the near photorealism of the environments in Pikmin 3 back in the day. I doubt the footage they were showing was unrepresentative of the game.

@Ryu_Niiyama I think? I don't really understand the wording in this official support doc.

My Mom said she'd consider it and I'll have an answer by next week. We pay for GamePass Ultimate and barely use all the features mainly because most of the games are T & M and it's almost $200 yearly in Canada while the NSO Expansion is $100.

@Kermit1 Ok so you didn't tell me an email so ima toss this code up here and then delete/edit it out. I hope you have email notifications turned on. Good luck!

Edit: and removed. Hope you got it.

@Ryu_Niiyama I didn't get the code sadly, I was in another tab lol

@Kermit1 OK, Ima leave it up this time. Whomever gets it, gets it.

Yeah, never expect anything that Nintendo never promised to you, it never works out. I can understand being disappointed that there's no release date for AW 1+2 and maybe disappointed there's no Prime 4 update, but they never promised WW/TP HD nor Metroid Prime remaster.

With that said, just because they didn't show today doesn't exactly mean these games don't exist. We were hearing about FE Engage game since like 2020. And there's plenty of other examples of rumors that were baking for a couple years before they came to fruition.

@Ryu_Niiyama when I used it, it didn't work lol. I ran like the flash to get my switch and put in the code lol

thanks for the offer!

@Kermit1 Sorry to hear that, hope your mom lets you get it.

Welp if anybody wants that code and is in the US, its yours. I'm already topped off for the year.

@Ryu_Niiyama She's leaning towards a yes. So next week this time I could be playing Paper Mario.

The only game that got my highest hype was Fae Farm. A new indie game that quickly made me smile for better character design for Rune Factory style games. It has strong Animal Crossing + Fantasy Life vibes. I rated this game 8/10 for my first impression.
