Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Grumblevolcano I'd wager a guess that the next big thing to be announced is the Side Order DLC's release. There'll be NSO updates and maybe an Indie World in the mean time.

On a side note I think the September Direct will be mid to late September this year.

@Fizza For me and a lot of others, one of the other changes they made a few weeks back means I can't see Twitter embed links anymore anyways. I can only assume the Twitter endgame is zero visibility to anyone. 🤔

Another worry is that there will be an eXtreme Xbox channel on Twitter inadvertently renamed XXXbox

@FishyS Well the muskrat running the site wants people to unironically call Twitter videos 'X Videos' going forward so it wouldn't really surprise me in the slightest if something like that did happen to be honest.

@Fizza
Off topic but damn, he really is a man child. In terms of the Switch screenshot share feature? At this point I'm not sure anyone would really care if their twitter integrations failed. Especially for something like Nintendo's thing given it basically exists as a pseudo advertisement

If I was Nintendo I'd probably just drop the integration when it inevitably breaks. Maybe add one for Threads and Instagram. But TBH I think that integration in general is pretty half baked. What they should really have done is made it so you can download the screenshots directly to your phone via their app

@skywake I'd care. I use twitter as my image hosting solution for Nintendo screenshots, lol

@skywake Accessing and downloading screenshots through the NSO app would be ideal, but I find the “Send to Smartphone” option very intuitive to use personally.

Today I vastly underestimated the time it would take me to get all the games I might play any time soon on the Switch from my old SD card so I could still play them between Tears of the Kingdom on my new SD card. I did a lot of switching from old sd card to the system's memory and vice versa, and archived some stuff. And looking at it, I might've also underestimated how much space I might need beyond two 128 gb sd cards.

Like I don't really change up the sd cards, I literally have never gone back to my old one on 3DS despite it having a reasonable amount of games only on it once I got a new one. Memory cards were easy, this is just kind of annoying.

@skywake I'm in the same camp as @Ralizah myself; I don't really want to use Twitter share for screenshots/videos, but when the Send To Smartphone method literally crashes my system almost every time I try to use it, it's not like I really have any better option if I want to store my Switch files XD

@kkslider5552000 Memory's pretty cheap these days. Absolutely no reason to have such a small card.

@Fizza I just really like how easy it makes sharing them. There's no equivalent, IMO.

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well. Is there a way to improve the image quality of Switch screenshots? They seem to be compressed quite a bit so the image quality isn't very good.

Yeah, count me in as another who doesn't want Twitter to implode as I use it to share my Switch & PS screenshots on sites like this & Push Square.

I don't really use Facebook (& it's affiliated apps like Instagram & Threads), but I do have an account to rarely catch up with extended family, so I wouldn't want to clog up anyone's feed with a bunch of random video game screenshots.

@Fizza @NintendoByNature Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are available now:

@Grumblevolcano annnnnnnd I just started FFIV Pixel 😒. Wish I would've known sooner lol

@Grumblevolcano here goes our chance of playing remakes of the Oracle games, at least we can the play the original on NSO.

@Grumblevolcano The one night I go to bed early is the one night they announce my most anticipated Game Boy games huh XD

I'm so happy though; I've been waiting for the Oracle games to release for ages as I absolutely love 2D Zelda so I'll definitely be playing through these whenever possible!

Oh and one small question: what does the 'Game Link' actually do? I'm wondering whether or not I'd have to play through both at the same time in order to get the 'full' experience or if I can just take my time and make my way through one (probably Ages if I had to choose) and then start the other afterwards.

@Fizza The Game Link functionality seems to be you play 1 game and receive a password once you beat it which you can enter into the other game.

Someone a week or two ago said Nintendo wasn’t done with Zelda this year. And we get two of the most underrated Zelda games on NSO.

Pretty excited to play these because I only played Ages and didn’t finish it. I’ll be playing these and might still be playing them when I fly next month.

A Summer sale focused around multiplayer games (dubbed the 'Multiplayer Festival') was just announced earlier on today (at least for UK/Europe).

I myself am particularly interested in the fact that Animal Crossing New Horizons will be going on sale for presumably €40 (if previous Nintendo trends are anything to go by) since it'll actually be it's first ever digital sale according to Deku Deals. I've wanted to get ACNH pretty much since it came out and was originally going to grab it in mid-2020 only to end up snubbing it for Splatoon 2 instead (the 100% correct call for the time I might add) so it'd be nice to finally right a nearly 3-year-old wrong this time round

@Fizza Interesting. It has surprised me how long Nintendo has held out with Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the eshop. I've been tempted to double dip on it to have a digital copy, but would never allow myself at full price. Wonder if this will change things...

market analysist/developers are conficted, if Nintendo should launch the sucessor of Nintendo Switch in 2024
