I believe that Microsoft and Sony will continue to improve specs for their current consoles vs. releasing something completely new. I believe Switch should do the same. ALL 3 are great systems that offer different pros. Microsoft = Best Multiplayer experience, Sony = Top notch mature exclusives, Nintendo = Top notch family exclusives.
@spantonio FIFA 18 is a great game on Switch. I've been playing it daily and enjoying it. Online Seasons is my favorite mode. Skills is also very helpful.
FIFA 18 is a great game on Switch. More people should give it a try. This is the first FIFA game I've bought ever. Mainly to support EA, but I'm also liking it a lot and have already logged about 10 hours. Great game in my opinion. I do think EA would have seen better sales if they started by porting Battlefield 4.
I bought digital copy. The game is great and I don't really feel like it's missing anything. People should try a game prior to rating it or not rate it at all.
Found a solution that will hopefully spread like wildfire. Create a discord account with no more than 5 letter username. Once created it will look similar to mine Lorde#8278. Now update your Nintendo Nickname to match this format. You can then easily add anyone to Discord where the Nintendo nickname matches this format. This should at least make things easier for communicating until Nintendo comes up with a real solution. Spread the word
This is truly an amazing game and I’m confident that 2k will fix the save corruption and audio glitches fairly fast. The gameplay and visuals are amazing! I dock in my garage and play exhibition matches with my kids and neighbors. I play myTeam and myCareer when away from home. I’ve had save file corruption twice, but haven’t appeared to have lost any progress. I’ve avoided another corruption by making sure I only exit a game after the save icon completes and I exit to main menu.
This is a great game. Note a couple settings you might want to adjust. If you feel the players are moving awfully slow... that is because the default player movement speed is set at 50. Bump that to 100 and you will feel much better. Also, set the shot to player percentage. As for the corrupt file. I've had this happen a couple times so I make sure I exit out of any mode that I might be in back to main menu before closing the game. This seems to of helped. I will however stick with Exhibition until the patch is released. Most likely very soon. Have fun ballin!
I played the switch demo and the game looks and plays great both handheld and docked. Play the demo for yourself and then form an opinion.
All those interested in doing a valid comparison should compare graphics, gameplay, and load times for Switch Games that also get released on Xbox 360 or PS3 (Like NBA 2K18 releasing this week). I believe you will find that the Switch will beat both Xbox 360 and PS3. Comparing to Xbox One and PS4 is not really a valid comparison.
Intro video amazing. Gameplay video made me motion sick (Round and Round you go). I hope it sells well, but I will have to skip to avoid the motion sickness.
Doesn't really matter to me. I'll pay for games I like to support the developers I like. Maybe they can start charging extra 10 for 4K games on the other systems. I'd pay for that as well.
This is just the beginning... I'm sure that other surprises will come. Midnight Club, Red Dead and so on. I'm sure this game will sale like hot cakes. I'll be picking this up day 1.
It's an easy fix... just don't buy games that require extra storage if it's not your thing. I on the other hand will be picking up the 256GB or 400GB card. I won't need anything larger as I uninstall games I've completed or no longer play. This is similar to managing games on Xbox or PS4.
I've been buying digital games for years and had to add 2TB drives to both PS4 and Xbox One because games are huge. I'll be getting NBA 2K18 for Switch on day 1.
I believe the Switch version will be the best looking portable version available. Also, that video has lots of energy and now I want to jump around while listening to this video on a repeated loop.
The Jackbox Party game pricing seems on par or close enough to current price for other systems. Minecraft Story Mode Season 1 is ringing in at double the price as other systems current price. I might pick up the Jack Box games as they are lots of fun and the price is close to other systems. Minecraft Story Mode is just ridiculously priced.
This game is awesome! I played the demo and was up in the air half way through, but once I completed the demo it was an easy decision to purchase the game. Reading online it will take roughly 100 hours to complete. I just started stage 1 of chapter 9 (35+ hours to get this far). I'm playing through main story and then I'll move on to the DLC content.
This is truly a great game. In this game you make matches for resources. The resources allow you to fire 2 different weapon types, throw up a shield, repairs, or move in order to make it harder for the enemy to hit you. Sometimes you have enough resources to activate each and other times you do not. The weapons can miss and you lose resources at the same time. There are also passive and active abilities you unlock along with blueprints to install different weapons and defenses. This game is well worth $13.
Arms is a competitive game that lacks a competitive feeling. I feel that Nintendo really needs to release a game-specific app for Arms to detail ALL stats much like Splatoon. I'm also not sure why there is an events sign up without any events. Arms really needs a monthly event where you can earn perks. The ability to get different costumes instead of just changing color would also add to the game.

Fire Emblem games tend to keep a high price since they are all pretty amazing.

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th September
This was a direct hit for me… Doom, Wolfenstein 2, and Arena of Valor are all great surprises.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th August (North America)
