Yup! No title printed under thumbnails in the eShop is another thing showing that Nintendo started inventing and developing the Switch October 20, 2016... the day of the reveal.

@chriiiiiiiiiis

"I don't know if it's only me but does anyone else get frustrated that the title of the game isn't written clearly for each game on the eShop? I know generally the thumbnails have the title including the name of the game but it just disorients me so much when I want to scroll through the games that are available and I can't really tell what games I'm looking at more immediately. I kind of hope they update titles of games to be written clearly next to the price even though it's probably not that big of a deal."

The Switch is fast. That's it.

But it is lacking in so many areas that Wii U had on launch!

I am absolutely saying lacking password protection is a stupid thing on a home console, and an even more humongous and moronic problem on a portable console.

@ANeonChicken

"Also the switch Eshop technically had categories such as Recent Releases and Coming soon not great but categories none the less. The switch Eshop asked you for your password to access it. Really citing password protection as a feature there buddy? You are stretching a bit there."

Wait, are there really two NBA games incoming on the Switch???

The Wii U OS and network infrastructure was way ahead on launch, compared to the disappointing Switch!

Switch versus Wii U on launch:
1. Can't password-protect user. Wii U can.
2. No readable global identifier for friends or people you play with. Wii U had NNIDs.
3. No sorting or categories in eShop. Wii U had this and more.

@ANeonChicken

"@SLIGEACH_EIRE Literally what do you do besides trying to bring down the Switch? The system hasn't even been out for a half a year yet... give it time. I'm pretty sure most consoles UI were bare bones. Have no idea why you support a dead console..."

The Switch OS and infrastructure is vastly inferior to the Wii U!
It's fast, though.

It's actually Rainmaker right now.
I'll be busy until rotation.

Exactly!
Rainmaker at Camp Triggerfish is my favorite combination.

@abbyhitter

"@Elanczewski I would gladly take 4 hours of Rainmaker since that's the best mode in the game."

Rainmaker is the best mode!

@Elanczewski

"Aw yiss, I hated this moments, when I was like "time to play Splatoon!", but game was like "that's nice, I can offer you 4 hours of Rainmaker"."

So does ARMS have 4-player split screen or not?

Wii U controllers, except the GamePad, turn off after ten minutes of being idle, and Switch controllers never turn off.

Neither ten minutes nor never is perfect. Perfect would be able to choose, like on PlayStation 3! I'd have chosen an hour, because sometimes I want to play a game's credits, like the wonderful DuckTales Remastered, without being interrupted by the Wii U OS after ten minutes of inactivity.

This is a huge oversight by Nintendo, both on Wii U and Switch, just like a dozen other things on the disappointing Switch OS.

@ThomasBW84

"the season pass costs more than the core game, and even that represents a discount of over 30% off buying each pack separately."

Try again, Nintendo Life! Your calculations are so wrong!

€45 is not 30% less than €51.

How do you even get this wrong?

Nintendo, how about instead of banning Super Mario Maker players using glitches that harms no one, you go after Splatoon players ruining the game for everyone?
Yeah, how about that?

Despite the mediocre reviews, I'm still interested.

I played a SF2 game on SNES in the 90s, but I don't know which.

Were all three SF2 SNES games released in Europe, and what are the differences between them?

Good interview!

But "the game also includes full voice acting for the first time"?

I would call it "selective voice acting" instead.

Yes!!! I've been asking for the ability to play Breath Of The Wild with Japanese voice acting and English subtitles!

I've been wanting a way to see where I have explored! I was against this DLC practice for Breath Of The Wild, but I'm more for it now.

I feel cheated since I have to pay for a whole game when the only content I lack, should have been in Mario Kart 8 in 2014.
I'll pass.

I loathe mobile phone games, and would never buy any of these.

I'd consider them on Switch, though.

I approve of this joke!

@Menchi187
"The closest thing to Fallout the Switch will ever get"

I have have 7-8 Pelican cases for photography equipment and other electronics, and I can tell you the quality of their cases is outstanding. I'm actually tempted to buy one for my Switch now!

It is far from a "well-crafted OS".

Where are the users' global identifiers? You know, like NNID on Wii U? Xbox in 2002 had this sorted, Nintendo is 15 years behind!

Where is the account password protection?

The navigation has huge issues. Try moving one game down or up in the eShop; one click doesn't equal one item, you scroll the page. Amateurs.

The OS is fast, but it's a case of "one step forward, five steps back".

@antdickens
Thanks!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

The "Nintendo Switch Dock Set" reported in this article is not the SKU currently sold for USD 59.99. You're welcome.

@antdickens

Why did you write "these will be available from May 19th in the US and are currently listed at $59.99 on the Official Store" when the dock in Nintendo's store selling for $59.99 is a different SKU without power supply and HDMI cable?

1.1.2 is 162 MB? Really? So they took away some data and added some other then ended up at the same total size.

Cumulative update data size on European Switch version:
Version 1.1.0: 216 MB
Version 1.1.1: 162 MB

@SanderEvers
"Ofcourse update data is stored on internal or SD memory. With the 1.1.2 update Breath of the Wild takes 162MB of software data on the Switch."

I vaguely remember something about the developer ceased to exist. But maybe I'm wrong?

When and how was this announced?

I've never heard of Windjammers before, but your passion got me curios, so I'll have to look it up!

@DESS-M-8
"PLEASE Hamster can you be the first company to port and bring us Windjammers!!!! I've wanted this game since seeing it played on GamesMaster in the 90's and nobody has ever brought it to digital stores on home consoles."

I'M SICK OF THIS WEBSITE AND ITS SPOILERS IN ARTICLE PICTURE AND HEADLINE!

Yeah, this your April Fools joke.

But it is. Especially when its name and importance are given in the headline.
Maybe you should "grow down" off your high horse?

@Dissident
"Just knowing the existence of a hidden town is not a spoiler. Grow up, people."

YOU MORONS!
YOU ABSOLUTE MORONS!
CAN YOU KEEP SPOILERS AWAY FROM HEADLINES?
YOU IDIOTS!

You should read my first post again, and if you don't get what is written, read again while analyzing every word.

54 MB were removed.

@Dezzy
"Because you said you wondered what they removed in those 50mb.
They didn't remove anything, because each patch is going to contain complete different things."

Why are you stating the obvious?

@Dezzy
"Patches are cumulative. No reason the 1.1.1 should be the same size as 1.1.0"

@SwitchVogel

Curiously, the total size of the update data on the European Switch build of Breath Of The Wild went down!

Version 1.1.0: 216 MB
Version 1.1.1: 162 MB

I wonder what kind of data was in those 54 removed mega-bytes.

Edit for those who don't understand:
The update data sizes above are cumulative. Total update data size now takes up fifty-four mega-bytes less space.

Why is German faster? Are conversations less text bubbles or is it the voice acting sequences that are faster?

I doubt they compressed a 20 GB game to 8 GB, only on Switch. The other new builds are closer to the Wii U original in size, which was 20 GB.

Also, a "content update" for an old game? I think they're trying lying but desperately avoiding bad press trying to throw water on the fire.

Snake Pass looks great. I'll get it!

And they found out now, with 3 days left of March?

Wait... are there three Super Meat Boy games already?
I haven't even played the first one.

Are you kidding me, Nintendo? You released this pile of poo barebones OS with less of everything than Wii U had on launch. Get your act together, amateurs!

534 comments in 15 hours? Is Playtonic's decision really that difficult to understand?

Fake? Really? No...

https://youtu.be/qG4ihWOEtpA?t=457

You really should! In fact, it's 50-60% off on the 3DS and Wii U eShop right now. It's about €2-3 for both games!

This must be a hot topic!

Imagine if Nintendo flooded the eShop with Virtual Console games like Hamster does; a dream scenario at this point, right?

@ThomasBW84
"As always, Nintendo of America also wants you to check out the official sales and deals website (or the eShop) to learn more about discounts"

I've seen you 'always' list sales, so what happened?

@ThomasBW84
"This series gives you minimal controls over a train as you take in the sites of Japan"

Don't you means "sights"?
