Time to grab a micro SD I suppose. I hate when you're forced to download games and waste precious space. The PS4 does this with every single game and it annoys me to no end.
Interesting topic. Personally, even though I love Breath of the Wild, I hope Nintendo returns to the older 3D style. Perhaps a third game with the Hero of Time to create a trilogy?
Don't get me wrong, BOTW is awesome, but there is a noticeable departure from some classic Zelda beats. Both open world and traditional games can coexist.
Having Assassin's Creed and Far Cry on the go would be a dream come true. I'm not seeing what else there is to discuss for four days online but it's still nice to see Ubisoft cares.
It's a bit inconvenient but how is creating a new account challenging in any way?
PC games, or at least the ones I picked one, have only had one slot for a while now and there is no work around for that (excluding getting into the game's files). At least there is a way to have another slot on the Switch.
If the Switch is the easiest console to develop for, I don't see why it's not on there. Does Ubisoft have a good reason? Probably not.
If Assassin's Creed is shown at E3 and it's not on Switch (I really hope it is! Would love to play it on the go) then that will be a bad sign for 3rd party support.
Already taken my Switch on a long road trip! I love the portability of this console. Combine the handheld and home divisions of Nintendo's EAD and it will have the best software of any Nintendo console hands down.
That's a shame. I was expecting the game to actually be decent.
Here's hoping we'll get a proper Mario Sports title on the Switch (preferably Baseball. I loved Super Sluggers!) and not anything like we got in the 3DS/Wii U era. Tennis wise at least.
I'll have my Switch tomorrow, as well as Shovel Knight! Pre-ordered BOTW but alas, it won't be arriving until Wednesday...that kind of ruined some of my "festive spirit."
Didn't know the web browser would still be a discussion. I myself simply used my phone when I was stuck on something on my Wii U. The browsers on the 3DS and Wii U were less than stellar in my opinion.
I will for sure be picking up Zelda, MK8, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Lego City, Rayman, and probably Shovel Knight and Fire Emblem Warriors. Thinking about Arms and Yooka-Laylee.
Pretty good launch year I'd say, especially for the amount of time I'll be getting from Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Lego City. Now all I need to do is find a Switch in the first place!
Ugh, I am not fond of digital only games. Whenever I go to a store, the amount of games on shelves there should give you an idea of a console's library.
When a good portion of the library for the Switch is digital indie games, it doesn't give a good image in my opinion.
I'm more optimistic than I was last week but I'm still hoping for a Direct that goes into details about VC and possibly more games coming this year.
I just really want Nintendo to do well and I hope that they're able to get a lot of people to buy a Switch. They really need to start running ads!
But, of course, I'm not pre-ordering. I never pre-order anything.
@Andrzej777 I'm pretty sure it is the enhanced version that's coming to the Switch. And of course you're not going to play it while you're driving. You can play it while someone else is driving, and you can easily take it to someone's house or play on a plane, etc.
What do they mean by using an Amiibo to transfer between Wii U and 3DS? The Smash Mii amiibo? Why can't you just transfer them through wireless like Wii to U and 3DS?
Not surprised about BOTW but MK8 and Splatoon are very polished. Not noticing the aliasing they are referring to in those games.
As for whether or not MK8 will be the only entry on the Switch, I think they will add more DLC but personally, I'm hoping for characters and retro tracks like Maple Treeway ONLY. They should save their original tracks for MK9. I'm still expecting that to be on the Switch but I'm fine with either route Nintendo takes.
@HefHughner I could not have put it better myself. They really need to show more games and SOON. Only things I cared about were Odyssey, Splatoon, and BOTW. Everything else was too niche for me.
Oi, Wii U at $300 for Black Friday? Not sure it's worth it at all. It looks like most of the Wii U must haves will be coming to the Switch (MK8, Lego City, Splatoon, most likely Smash and Mario Maker) so I wouldn't get it if I didn't have it right now. Paying $300 essentially for a 3D World and Bayonetta player (and we don't even know if those aren't coming to the switch) is not that good a deal.
If I was Nintendo, I'd put it at $200 at the most.
Normally, I'd be hyped for this update but...how am I supposed to get excited for this when there might be a new Animal Crossing might be coming out in March?
I wish I just knew if it was going to be coming out or not but their lack of Switch news leaves me wondering "should I go back to New Leaf? Or should I wait until the next game?"
NX better be something truly spectacular for this long of a wait. Eventually, someone will ask a question about the NX at the meeting and they'll be forced to answer or at least give a vague, "we're working on it."
Either way, we will have at least one new tidbit of NX information by the end of the meeting.

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee
Would his presence in the game REALLY affect whether people buy it or not? And why'd they have to announce it like this?
Re: Editorial: After The Bold Brilliance Of Breath Of The Wild, Where Can Zelda Go Next?
Interesting topic. Personally, even though I love Breath of the Wild, I hope Nintendo returns to the older 3D style. Perhaps a third game with the Hero of Time to create a trilogy?

Re: Ubisoft Wants Your Input On Future Nintendo Switch Software Support
Having Assassin's Creed and Far Cry on the go would be a dream come true. I'm not seeing what else there is to discuss for four days online but it's still nice to see Ubisoft cares.
Re: Video: How To Completely Avoid Scratching Your Nintendo Switch's Screen When Docking
If it scratches when there's a screen protector on the screen, then yes, I agree that is a problem.
But if most of the people complaining don't have a screen protector, then that's pretty ridiculous.
Re: Don't Start A New Game Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild If You Want To Keep Your Save Data
It's a bit inconvenient but how is creating a new account challenging in any way?

Re: GameStop Executive Believes Switch Sales Could Outpace the Wii
It's certainly possible, but a bit too early to tell in my opinion. Wait to see how well it does once they restock and then when MK8 releases.
Re: Hero of Time Orchestral Album Now Available for Pre-Order as Download, CD, or Vinyl
Woah, an orchestra? Nice! I'll take a listen sometime. They should do Majora's Mask as well.
Re: Developer Survey Reveals Worrying Lack Of Interest In Nintendo Switch
The fact that the Switch is below the Apple TV makes me skeptical about how much this survey really matters.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Upgraded Confidence in Switch is a Relief
Very satisfied with the Switch so far. Nintendo's sales expectations of more than 16 million is very generous but I hope they can pull through.
Re: Disney Afternoon Collection Includes Six NES Classics, But It's Skipping Nintendo Systems
What a major rip-off. Is Capcom unaware these are NES games?
Re: South Park: Fractured But Whole Not Coming To Switch, Despite Apparent Twitter Tease
If the Switch is the easiest console to develop for, I don't see why it's not on there. Does Ubisoft have a good reason? Probably not.
If Assassin's Creed is shown at E3 and it's not on Switch (I really hope it is! Would love to play it on the go) then that will be a bad sign for 3rd party support.
Re: Nintendo Switch Stays On Top in Japan Despite Sharp Week Two Decline
Splatoon will be enough momentum for Japan considering the original's success. I just hope it continues to do well everywhere else.

Re: Nintendo Confirms LAN Play, 'Renegade Roundup' and More for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Renegade Round-Up actually looks pretty cool. There's more additions to the game than I was expecting, but still not much.
I'll be picking it up anyway though. Mario Kart 8 was a blast on the Wii U. Having the ability to play it anywhere makes it so much better.
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories You Should Buy
Don't forget the Mario starter kit. I still need to pick that up...
Re: Poll: One Week On - How Do You Feel About the Nintendo Switch?
I am loving my Switch and BOTW so far! I think Ninty is really on to something here with this system.
Can't wait for LEGO City and MK8 next month!
Re: Review: Mario Sports Superstars (3DS)
That's a shame. I was expecting the game to actually be decent.
Here's hoping we'll get a proper Mario Sports title on the Switch (preferably Baseball. I loved Super Sluggers!) and not anything like we got in the 3DS/Wii U era. Tennis wise at least.
Re: Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con Disconnection Woes Could Be Hardware-Related
I have had no problems with my Switch. Is this kind of thing widespread? I have no Joycon issues, dead pixels, etc. (knock on wood)
Re: Poll: Merry Switchmas - Has the Nintendo Switch Launch Got You In a Festive Spirit?
I'll have my Switch tomorrow, as well as Shovel Knight! Pre-ordered BOTW but alas, it won't be arriving until Wednesday...that kind of ruined some of my "festive spirit."
Re: Review: 1-2-Switch (Switch)
Not surprised. I don't think they put as much effort into the game as Wii Sports. Seems like it'd get old a bit fast.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
BOTW has 10s across the board. It will be GOTY for sure and I will have a blast playing it! Can't wait until this weekend!
Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch: Nintendo's Most Important Console Yet
@gcunit Same! The Switch is like a dream console to me. Now all it needs is a steady line-up of great first party games. Specifically Animal Crossing.
Re: Nintendo Releases Official Switch 'First Time Use' Guide Video
Didn't know the web browser would still be a discussion. I myself simply used my phone when I was stuck on something on my Wii U. The browsers on the 3DS and Wii U were less than stellar in my opinion.
Re: Here's What The Day One Nintendo Switch System Update Will Do
Download in the background? Nice! Whenever a game was updating on the Wii U it always annoyed me that I couldn't do anything else.
Re: Poll: Nintendo Switch Countdown - Less Than a Week to Go, Is the Hype Building?
A very stupid person that may or may not be me didn't pre-order the Switch so they will be trying their luck at launch.
sigh
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games & Release Dates 2017
I will for sure be picking up Zelda, MK8, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Lego City, Rayman, and probably Shovel Knight and Fire Emblem Warriors. Thinking about Arms and Yooka-Laylee.
Pretty good launch year I'd say, especially for the amount of time I'll be getting from Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Lego City. Now all I need to do is find a Switch in the first place!
Once they confirm Pokémon, Animal Crossing, and a possible Smash 4 port, the Switch is sure to be a success. I think that Sm4sh will be out by holiday and will be announced at E3.
Re: Preview: Nintendo Switch Hands-On: UI, Size, Mii Maker, Micro SD Cards And More
Looks like a very streamlined and intuitive OS. Really liking it! Especially the Mii Maker!
Re: There's No 'Concrete Answer' for GameCube on the Switch Virtual Console, But There's Hope
Come on, Nintendo. They haven't been working on GCN VC? What could "something along those lines" even be?
We need a Direct!
Re: Nintendo Switch Appearance Earns Positive Impressions Among Super Bowl Commercials
@Gauchorino @impurekind Totally agree with you guys! Ads are meant to advertise, not give a political message.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Formally Confirmed for Switch Along With Wii U Backer Options
Ugh, I am not fond of digital only games. Whenever I go to a store, the amount of games on shelves there should give you an idea of a console's library.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Teases Alternate Ending for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Another timeline? Another split?!
Re: DFC Intelligence Believes Nintendo Switch Can Shift 40 Million Units by 2020
If they have strong advertising for the eventual Animal Crossing and Pokémon titles, they'll get this number easily.
Re: Miis Are Still Part Of Nintendo's Future, But They're No Longer Compulsory
What do they mean by using an Amiibo to transfer between Wii U and 3DS? The Smash Mii amiibo? Why can't you just transfer them through wireless like Wii to U and 3DS?
Re: Reggie on How the Switch Will Maintain Third Party Support
I'm glad Reggie's optimistic. We have heard the Switch is easy to develop for...
I guess only time will tell. So far most of the third party games are ports from last year or before.
Re: Princess Zelda is "Very Complex and Multi-Faceted" in Breath of the Wild, Aonuma Explains
People were complaining about Zelda crying? Stupid, but can't say I'm surprised.
Re: Rumour: Fire Emblem Fates Could Be Getting A Nintendo Switch Port
Ouch...hurts for those like me who purchased the $100 special edition. But if more people get to play it, fine by me.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Puts Breath of the Wild, MK8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 to the Test
Not surprised about BOTW but MK8 and Splatoon are very polished. Not noticing the aliasing they are referring to in those games.
As for whether or not MK8 will be the only entry on the Switch, I think they will add more DLC but personally, I'm hoping for characters and retro tracks like Maple Treeway ONLY. They should save their original tracks for MK9. I'm still expecting that to be on the Switch but I'm fine with either route Nintendo takes.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Switch Presentation Summary
@HefHughner I could not have put it better myself. They really need to show more games and SOON. Only things I cared about were Odyssey, Splatoon, and BOTW. Everything else was too niche for me.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Switch Presentation?
Very disappointed with the presentation. Online, launch titles, battery life, and insane Pro Controller price were all huge letdowns.
Might be waiting until Christmas depending on what the Treehouse shows.
Re: Guide: The Top Nintendo Black Friday 2016 Deals in the US
Oi, Wii U at $300 for Black Friday? Not sure it's worth it at all. It looks like most of the Wii U must haves will be coming to the Switch (MK8, Lego City, Splatoon, most likely Smash and Mario Maker) so I wouldn't get it if I didn't have it right now. Paying $300 essentially for a 3D World and Bayonetta player (and we don't even know if those aren't coming to the switch) is not that good a deal.
If I was Nintendo, I'd put it at $200 at the most.
Re: Lego City Undercover Is Coming To Nintendo Switch And Other Platforms Next Year
Awesome! I did not expect this to actually happen! If they improve the loading times, this is hands-down a must buy!
Re: Feature: Catch Up With the Animal Crossing Direct and New Leaf's Fresh Features
Normally, I'd be hyped for this update but...how am I supposed to get excited for this when there might be a new Animal Crossing might be coming out in March?
I wish I just knew if it was going to be coming out or not but their lack of Switch news leaves me wondering "should I go back to New Leaf? Or should I wait until the next game?"
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Isn't Physically Backwards Compatible With 3DS And Wii U Software
Not shocking at all. The system doesn't even use discs. As long as the Wii U games they "port" are much better than their counterparts, I don't mind.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Nintendo Switch?
The console is exactly what I was hoping for! March 2017 seems forever away now!
Re: Guide: Everything We Now Know About the Nintendo Switch
Looks amazing so far! I was hooked as soon as they showed the Off-TV Play anywhere. Seeing King Boo was an added bonus.
I hope they show off some individual trailers soon! So hyped!
Re: Rumour: NX's September Reveal Was Delayed Because Console's Mario Game "Wasn't Running Perfectly"
So they're showing Mario? Yes!
Re: Preview Trailer of the Nintendo NX Confirmed for 20th October
Oh my...
IT'S HAPPENING!!! Sadly I will have to wait until after school. Ugh!
Re: No Strategy Briefing Planned for Nintendo's Q2 Financials - NX, 3DS and Mobile Updates Still Expected
NX better be something truly spectacular for this long of a wait. Eventually, someone will ask a question about the NX at the meeting and they'll be forced to answer or at least give a vague, "we're working on it."
Either way, we will have at least one new tidbit of NX information by the end of the meeting.
