Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Didn't expect Unicorn Overlord to have major stock issues like Amazon wait time is 1-2 months. Lucky I got it at launch.

@Grumblevolcano VW never did huge print runs. Likely because they are niche and they probably adjusted based on the GrimGrimorie sales. They likely didn't expect this game to sell so well. That being said it looks like the switch version only is having stock issues.

@OctolingKing13 rumors until Nintendo anounce Animal Crossing 6 and that this person claim is real

Worth noting that by this time next year it'll be 5 years since the last Animal Crossing. And it's not exactly a title that doesn't sell. Predicting a new one by 2026 is like predicting that there'll be a new Mario Kart for the Switch 2 launch or a new 3D Mario

Not saying it's at all credible just saying it's a bit of a "in breaking news, the sun rose this morning" kind of prediction.......

@skywake Animal Crossing games are usually released every four years(average): Animal Crossing (2001), Animal Crossing Wild World (2005), Animal Crossing City Folk (2008) Animal Crossing New Leaf (2012), Animal Crossing Pocket Camp (2017), and Animal Crossing New Horizons (2020). So I’d honestly be shocked if it was 2026 and not a launch title for switch 2.

I'm one of the few people who like New Leaf more than New Horizon.

(The absence of Happy Home Showcase in NH was baffling as it was my favorite feature.)

I could be convinced to double-dip on an HD port of NL on Switch.

@Magician I think plenty of people really like New Leaf, New Horizons simply sold 3-4 times as much (partially but not completely because of covid) and it was also the first in the series that truly found a popular home for non-portable players.

That said, I assume a new gen game is on the horizon, so I seriously doubt we would get a NL port. I suspect they will be doing their best with the next game to recapture some of the 10s of millions of people who were new to the series with NH.

@FishyS I think if Splatoon affects Animal Crossing and vice versa we may get a situation where 1 gets a remaster, 1 gets a new game. So like if Nintendo chooses to prioritize new Animal Crossing, Splatoon 1 gets a remaster meanwhile if Nintendo choose to prioritize Splatoon 4 then New Leaf gets a remaster. In this outcome 1 of the franchises gets a new game around 2026 and the other gets a new game around 2030.

If the 2 franchises don't affect each other, I think new Animal Crossing would be 2025 and Splatoon 4 in 2026.

Still waiting for these to be announced for switch😂, possibly in vain.
Zelda Wind Waker
Mario Galaxy 2

ACNL Remastered on Switch should get exactly same treatment from ACNH: The villagers that will NEVER Moving Out by themselves unless we kick them out.
That's what I want exactly so I can keep my villagers forever when I get hiatus from the game.

I’m still sorta surprised/confused that Nintendo dropped support for Animal Crossing so early. Granted this is the only one I actually played (I own the rest but never got beyond 15 minutes) ao my perception may be skewed.

first Nintendo Switch sucessor game revealed?

I can't see New Leaf or Splatoon 1 getting ports/remasters. These are iterative series, and while there are still some features exclusive to those games (I'm team NL over NH myself) they're still broadly very similar to their successors but without a lot of the new features and QoL improvements that said successors introduced. Most casual players wouldn't want to go back to New Leaf or Splatoon 1 unless they were completely revamped with new content, at which point Nintendo might as well just incorporate a few of their features into a brand new game instead.

@Dogorilla
100%. It'd be like if Nintendo announced tomorrow they were making a Mario Kart 7 HD remaster. I mean sure, that'd be neat. I wouldn't complain if they did it. And there are some things in 7 that are "locked" on the 3DS. But at the same time...... I'd be asking why that and not more DLC or a Mario Kart 9

Although, thinking about it, my analogy breaks a bit if I was to go a bit deeper. Because I would be very interested indeed if they went way back and revisited Super Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64. And Animal Crossing doesn't really have an analogue to that

@Dogorilla
If Splatoon 1 get remastered, better it has more OFFLINE features as we can't even purchase the clothes / weapons if the game is Offline.
And for ACNL Remastered, better copy paste the gameplay structure from ACNH and the villagers in ACNL Remastered will never moving out from your island by themselves until you kick them out.

Random tangent and figured I'd post it in here given any other thread I could post it in is long dead. There is only one unbeaten level left in Super Mario Maker. One. This level:

And the servers turn off next month

@skywake I haven't been tracking this too closely. Do you know if it ignores the levels which require features that were patched out (e.g phantom jump) and therefore are impossible to beat or did crazy people actually revert the game version to beat those also?

Mario Maker 2 has 1,075,243 uncleared levels as of 4 months ago, but of course people still create levels so we can't beat them all. Maybe the community can help shrink that number after they are finishes with Mario Maker 1.

Just an FYI, Mobapad M6 HD are on sale WITH the case for $80. It's on sale for $84 and you get $4 discounted in cart for spending over $75.

I know that might not be an earth-shattering deal, but I thought it was worth mentioning given official joycon are $80 while this gets you joycon with every bit of functionality plus a ton more, and a custom case to fit your Switch when the joycon are attached.

@FishyS
I've been watching a certain Youtuber on his quest to help beat all the MM1 levels (not certain if I'm allowed to say Youtuber names here), and I got the impression that they truly are beating every level.

@NeonPizza I've never noticed that issue with Mega Man 11, but I've also only ever seen it on Switch so I can't compare the versions. In general though, Switch is an incredibly lean device so mild performance issues aren't uncommon in a lot of games, especially third party games.

I agree Switch Pro Controller feels absolutely wonderful. I would argue the D-pad is massively unreliable for some games, but Mega Man 11 is not one of those games. A few games force me to change to joystick or even occasionally use the actual joycons, but I stick with pro controller whenever possible because it feels so good.

@rallydefault People dump YouTube videos here all the time, so I don't think saying a name is against TOS as long as it's part of the relevant discussion and not just a random advertisement. That said, I've seen YouTubers working on the 'beat all levels' thing also, I just haven't been tracking it too carefully.
