Probably exists in some sort of beta form. They'd be foolish to not be toying with prototypes etc. They themselves have said they're always working on the next hardware. Even if its just on paper.

@meeto_1

Imagine it being a season pass project to help it thrive, starting with Gen 1. And each 6 months a new expansion.

I'm all for paying $80 for a triple AAA quality Marvel game. Unlikely to happen though.

@jcvandan

If it could run Zelda at an ACTUAL 30fps constant it'd be a day one buy. Hell i'd pay $600 for a 60fps capable version.

@Ttimer5 I liked this game, i don't care what anyone else says.

An HD remake is my guess.

I'm a big 10tons fan. This looks like their most ambitious project they've ever started.

I don't know if it's how the games typically get compiled or what, but MOST of the time Sequential Read / Write is really all that matters.

However.... Some games rely HEAVILY on random read / write. Why this matters? The cheap SD Cards can easily run in the 0.3MB/s speed range for this type of loading. This is really bad.
The better ones run at 10mb/s with some insane ones running in the 25mb/s area.

This is like cheap SSD level of performance.

This is for loading large quantities of tiny files. For example Monster hunter with its huge library of items would often hitch and lag and load the graphics for armor with a delay when opening the inventory. Whereas the people who managed to get SSD hard drives working on their Wii U had no problems whatsoever.

You will not believe the amount of Pokemon GO whales who bought a Switch + this game. Smartest business decision they ever made.

@Nincompoop Thought there was an option somewhere to keep your games with Switch players only?

@HatenoLife

ARPG - Diablo 3 style

The crazy amount of fighters reminds me of Marvel Heroes ARPG.

I would kill for a Smash Brothers ARPG multiplayer.

Think Diablo 3 - Smash Brothers!

@DTFaux
If it meant getting it at all, i would be ok with it requiring a subscription.

This will filter out 60% of the kids.

@Henbush

That won't happen, if it did it would be Local only.

@Heavyarms55 I have a feeling a lot of Local League play happens with how popular it is there. I literally know zero other people that have this game.

Calling it now.

Nintendo Switch Pro that has most the features that the Switch should of had.

@MoonKnight7

You answered your own question. SD looked very bad, always. They used gimmicks to make it appear acceptable.

HD looks very good. 4k looks very good.

The point being there is literally next to zero advantage.
What determines market trends is how the average consumer reacts and advertising.
The average consumer see's comparisons of HD and 4k and are like hmmmmm... looks similar? But SD to HD, WOWOWOWOW TAKE MY MONEY!!!

@Wexter

I feel like emotion is better demonstrated and is as intended when it's actually in the language that the game director is actually familiar with. With english, who knows, it could be at the discretion of the some random translator.

@superpotion Would certainly hope not. I imagine they're entirely different markets.

Lol i wonder how the guys Splatoon experience is with aiming with head turning.

I missed it... 24 hours thats it?

And sadly the Nintendo thing to do in a situation like this... is to abandon any further Voice Chat development for this game. But probably make a better version for future games.

@SanderEvers

Yes while that's true, but the app as a complete package is a 2.5 out of 5 at best.

I just want an "allow auto group chat feature" for random pub games.
So if other players want to voice chat with their random group they can.
It'd still require permission so i don't see why this would be a big deal?

@ThanosReXXX

I dunno, i think Splatoon 1 was good, and yes 9 good. But part of that rating i believe is due to it's originality. It's no longer original which downgrades it automatically.

Most of the changes in 2 are things that should've been in the original. This game is a solid 9, not a 9.5. based on what i've seen so far, that may change come Friday.

So playing on the screen directly is exactly as good as i thought it'd be.

I look like a mad man struggling to use an invisible hoolah hoop.

Anyone know if Japanese voice / English subs is an option?

Would be a day 1 purchase for me if possible.

I played CoD once... that's enough for anyone.

Seriously ultra realism in graphics isn't the end-game anymore. It's nice for sure, it's a great bone to be thrown that's about it.

People are demonstrating with their wallet that they want good games.

The Wii U was an "ok" console with a terrible OS and archaic Network and Storage hardware and infrastructure.

The Switch however, has much promise. That's all that can be said at this point, no one really knows more than that.

Storage hardware is no longer an issue and graphics support is much easier to port and develop for with Nvidia behind the plastic. We'll just have to wait and see where it goes from here.

Hopefully it'll hold at least 30fps then i "might" buy it.

I've had a love / hate relationship with Elder scrolls. Bought Morrowind and Oblivion and i WANT to like them, but i just didn't.

With motion controls however, i may finally be intrigued enough... however, the graphics look incredibly dumbed down. And it'll have to be 60fps or bust for me.

It looks semi-worse than 3U or equivalent.
Hard to say.

My question, is how many load screens are there compared to 3U?

The singleplayer on Splatoon was "decent".

It did feel however slightly soulless. Yes it had a story, but it was quite minimal.

I feel it needed something to jazz it up a bit. It felt a little empty and mechanical, served the purpose of just being there, so that they could say it was there.

@AlbertXi

Serious doubts that this will happen.
It's Nintendo.

Yes they've been "slightly" more open with this system. But why would they allow this on without making a buck off it somehow?

Until a child dies from being shaken from a dumb parent racing his/her "cart". /imnegativenancytoday

What FPS is this supposed to run at then? It almost implies 30fps which is no good for this title.

@Fooligan

Pretty much. Maybe PC will be better?

@Simbabbad

Came here to say the same thing. At least make it 30fps stable sheesh.

30fps really? I guess i'll have to deal but this makes me sad

tigerblood is now mine - essentially every single Japanese name and anime character thinkable is taken lol

@yuwarite Supposedly its a custom chip.

I'm willing to put up with a lot. But 30 FPS isn't one of them.
If they have to do 30fps at 720p, it's a no buy for me.
