Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Colonel_Mustache or if WWIIII begins

I've been playing the (surprisingly incredible) Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom and, now, Grim Guardians: Demon Purge with 8bitdo's M30 Sega Saturn-style controller, and it really revitalized my love of docked play. I'm playing on our OLED 4KTV, and these 2D games look fantastic on it.

There's something about using a classic controller with a large, ultra-responsive D-Pad that really enhances my enjoyment of these sorts of games.

@Ralizah Mmm, I rather like 8bitdo's products. They're up there with Hori, reliably good stuff.

@Magician The reliability of their stuff has been mixed. My M30 has been consistently reliable. But the 8bitdo wireless adapter died on me after a year. So did the SN30.

Even if everything else they made was junk, though, it wouldn't take away from how great this controller is.

@TheBigBlue that was the Moose V. Catgirl V. Pineapple War this site had.

remaster of Tales of Symphonia on Switch is terrible

Sounds like Nintendo underproduced physical copies of Metroid Prime Remastered. Hopefully they can restock it soon with a bigger amount too.

@IceClimbers

Yeah.

I got my preorder in with the first wave available on AmazonNA (before the second wave opened and then closed) and my copy isn't scheduled to ship until the end of March.

Nintendo confirmed they will not participate at E3 2023

I can't wait for the zealots to spin the news of Nintendo officially skipping E3 as a sign Nintendo will be launching new hardware this year.

@Magician Nintendo Prime/Switch Force(more Switch Force, no Nintendo at E3, Switch 2/Switch Pro confirmed? honestly i tired of this clickbait videos

I'll have bought... counts ...ten games this year after Pikmin 4. I... think I'm tapped out after July, unless something critically important releases.

New 3D Mario, Ace Attorney, or SMT game releases? I'll still grab that. Otherwise, I'm good. Probably for the rest of the generation, honestly. I have so much stuff to play in my backlog.

@Magician I mean, there's a small subculture of people who, I'm convinced, see indications of the coming Switch Pro/Switch 2 in their breakfast cereal in the morning. It's like QAnon at this point. Everything is a Sign.

@Ralizah if the rumors of IGN/VGC are true(that Switch is gonna have a light second half, we shoundt expect a big release during the holidays, since Nintendo EPD and it subsidiaries must be hard at work on Switch sucessor launch games.

@Giancarlothomaz I find it difficult to believe Nintendo won't have something mainstream for the holidays. Might just be more Pokemon, but it'll be something that does 10+ million copies.

I don't doubt they're otherwise hoarding a bunch of new projects for next-gen hardware, though. Seeing how successful Switch was, they'll want a packed launch year.

@Ralizah Sword/Shield was packaged with the expansion pass on the cart in 2020 so they'll probably do the same with Scarlet/Violet this year at the least.

DON'T TAKE MY NINTENDO!

@Ralizah but what could be the holiday release for this years, a 2D/3D Mario game i dont think so, since Nintendo would be saving this game for a Switch sucessor launch, Donkey Kong could be a possible holiday release, Nintendo seens to aim to make Donkey Kong a bigger frachise again(given that Donkey Kong will the franchise that will get a expansion in Super Nintendo World in Japan and Super Nintendo World in Orlando)

@Magician lack of parenting lead to this kinda of situation

@Giancarlothomaz you are not wrong.

I mean... if it came to it, you'd have to pry my Switch from my cold, dead hands. But I'm not sure I'd have got mine out in class to begin with.
