AAA Clock Is Why We Don't Deserve Nice Things On Switch

Finally, my game of the year has arrived.

A premium product for the demanding users, you say?

I am a demanding user in need of a premium clock product, it seems!

THIS, ladies and gents, is the PS5 killer.

I'm italian, it doesn't have Italian language so it's a hard pass for me. I will continue using any other clock i already have...

Mmmm, probably don't have time to play this.

The only thing that I can think of for the phrase "support for OLED technology" is something to reduce burn-in. Since I figure the developers want to to have this application going at all times.

I might actually buy this when the actual "Switch Pro" comes out and use the old one as a clock. Hopefully by then it will be one dollar or something

Full support for OLED by burning into the screen if you leave this thing on it all day.

You can literally count your playtime.

@stinky_t calculator killed ps5 clock buried it

Just in case the systems built in clock is a bit too boring..

I do not have time for this game, every minute of my life counts and I can't spend another hour on silly games. The second this game goes on sale, I will colon a friend to number the reasons not to buy this game. Do not be alarmed, the present is past.

Why would we need this, don’t we still have the ‘Talking Clock’ ?

I, for one, am pleased to see more AAA experiences on Switch.

Good game for speedrunners

Best indie game of the decade.

@CharlieGirl You win this one.

I worry this will over clock the Switch.

I mean, Switch gets a literal AAA game and you're still miffed?😄

I may lack interest in such eShop items myself, but the way their very existence seems to troll this fandom is quite a treat to behold.

THE retro game, ladies and gentlemen

@Ricube finalmente un altro italiano

But does it run at 60 frames per second?

I'll buy it JUST to have a big huge clock in my living room(60" TV). For no reason at all.

What if the included game is BoTW 2.

THEN who’ll be laughing, huh?

No one, probably. We’ll all just be very confused.

I don't get why these stupid applications are such a big deal now when it seemed like no one cared 12 years ago

Sounds like a great idea… if the charging port wasn’t one the bottom. Cool ig but I need the battery life for me splatoons.

I still need a GPS app on my Switch, would be helpful if I ever got lost on the road and my phone is dead.

What a delightful way to waste my switch battery!

This could not have come any sooner. Combined with the Switch wrist mount I recently purchased, this app will finally let me use my system as a wristwatch. The Apple Watch has serious competition now.

I worked for a restaurant ordering website years ago, before apps existed and online ordering was ubiquitous. Every now and then a client restaurant would call in and tell me they’d changed their name to something like “AAA Dino’s Pizza” or “A+ China Bowl” in an attempt to be nearer the top of the alphabetical listings.

I see AAA and I expect to get into an argument with a restaurant owner about needing a menu faxed over with the actual restaurant name printed on it. Therefore, I will not be buying AAA Clock.

This has been a morning musing from the no avatar wall of text guy.

@ItsJustAnotherGamer Ah, so it’s basically restoring a lost feature on the Switch that we had on 3DS. Typical lazy Nintendo ;p

@The_Pixel_King Probably, not, but I think it runs at 60seconds per minute

@RolyTheBeerGeek lol, well played

The press release and the video seem really tongue-in-cheek. Maybe they hope to build some hype about a hidden game and then release it as a standalone title?

Or just having a laugh sarcastically making a silly app.

Seems pointless, I mean if I really needed to know the time, while being busy gaming, couldn't I just hit the home button?

Or you know, just look at my phone?

Well, I guess now we can have the time in big numbers on our TV screens. Yay!

Looking forward to the sequel, "World Clock" and the prequel, "Grandfather Clock"

I want the physical release of that game. 😆

That’s a lot of languages for something which essentially uses numbers…

Damn…why didn’t I think of this?

OMG! It's the best app... it's the b.. Wait a minute... Italian is not supported?! I'm not gonna buy it

With those kickstand on the OLED Switch, this clock makes sense.

This is why the Wii U failed

Waste of battery cycles, as the article/Thomas points out. Agreed.

The 'classic clock mechanics' bit is very funny to me.

@TryToBeHopeful Yes, but the Mario G&W had two games and didn't use a generic looking clock, among other Easter eggs.

Ooh, a clock that needs charging every 5 hours.

This is about as practical as that horrible Apple Watch.

So does it have a low power mode? Otherwise I'll need to keep it plugged in as it'll be dead every 3.5 hours. 🤔

@BananaMetallurgica Probabilmente ce ne sono anche altri 😉

I find this app rather alarming...

But now we may finally see Flavor Flav with a Switch around his neck?

Better than Sora in Smash.

Nintendo could stop this if they wanted by putting the feature in them self's
But Nintendo can be lazy at times 🤔

The production quality on that video is amazing, though. Looks like they put real effort into this ultimate troll-game.

NINJA APPROVED

If you want to actually support indie devs please consider buying Super Hiking League DX, it's just been released, it's cheap, well done and a lot of fun. Thank you!

Physical when?

The Switch is pretty much becoming the Wii 2.0.

Wish Nintendo wouldn't let all this crap on the eshop just makes finding anything I'm actually interested in a pain in the arse

@Deady Moving companies used to do that, too (and some probably still do). I dealt with this so much back in the day that I automatically distrust anything with AAA in the title to this day. You're literally safer going with a company named Two Schmucks In A Truck than with "AAA Movers".

It's perfect for the people who are worried about oled burn-in

So hyped for this! I can see this being my first game with 9999 hours played!

Now no one can say devs aren't releasing AAA software on the Switch. It's like a dodgy listing on Ebay where they include as many buzz words as they can to try and sell you a potato.

I'm scared of clocks so the name is perfect for me

How does stuff like this get approved? I take a look on the eShop and it's flooded with lots of really poor looking cheap games from indie devs and it's really hard to see the good stuff. I feel like they need to filter out a lot of this shovelware if not before it gets onto the store then kick it into another section and curate pages of really good indie games, and a page of just first/third party releases.

@JasmineDragon That is extra funny because where I live now there is a moving company called “Two Guys and a Truck”

The big question is when will it come out on PC? And what about coop and/or multiplayer support????

Im waiting for a review...

Two guys and a truck owe me $400, since I ultimately ended up moving my own stuff...lol

What a load of clock! Is this really needed?

Saying "the retro game" sounds strange.

Not the worst triple A title ever.

In all fairness the Ps vita had a fun clock alarm app.

I don’t use alarms. I prefer to get up when my body has had enough Sleep.

But the vita app was unique in that it would allow you prank friends who had the all with fake alarms going off. It was fun. You had to opt in to use it. All we did was have fun as my irl friends are mostly young retirees, free spirits, musicians (went to school with a famous one. Was in his band whilst we both attended Repton: I was lead guitarist but couldn’t sing like I can now. He got into heroin lol. Clean now though.), people with old family money, town mayor is a neighbour and a restaurant on the other side down the road. Both restaurant and I have large large gardens (that’s gardens plural for the two of us).

I lost my train of thought. It’s 4:49 and my cousins baby isn’t born yet. They’re in hospital with it now so hopefully good news in the morning.

Now that's what I call a timeless classic!

Any review of the game that's included? I half-wondered if this was a publicity stunt and the packaged game was actually a fully-fledged 4 hour long RPG.

Wow, those minutes go by FAST.
