A demo section would be nice, and a section to check DLC would be greatly appreciated too. It’s sad that buying through the website is more comfortable that buying through the eshop!
I agree, Nintendo’s early consoles were the stamp of a generation, and its family friendly games are a huge plus for me. And they seem to be back in the game with the Switch!
Considering there’s a bundle incoming, Christmas is around the corner and the star Nintendo title of the year is coming this month, I wouldn’t be surprised that they stepped up production.
Thing is selling out in Japan in hours, and while anecdotal, I’ve seen interest in the console go up around here the closer we are to Odyssey’s release.
My only complain is that you can't chose to play as a boy or as a girl, but the game is excellent. It is a must buy if you liked Mario Golf GBC or Mario Golf GBA!
@Snakesglowcaps I mean the new one, since it's specs are focused on high end PCs. If they downported maybe, but there would be a lot of compromises like Doom, and even then it's a big maybe.
The original won't come to any other console, since it's well known that the original code and engine for Red Dead is a mess. It's a half baked mix between two engines, in which modifications were not registered, so even Rockstar has a hard time trying to duplicate it. Search Red Dead Redemption Code Mess on google, while it isn't comprobated it is a rumor that has been floating around for years.
It won't be Red Dead. As much as I love my Switch, let's be realist - I don't think the Switch will be capable of running it. Now, GTA V has been ported to everything under the sun so there is a chance. Plus, it still sells a lot.
Day one! I need this in my life - Mario Holf and Mario Tennis GBA are my to go games when I truly want a break or to relax! We need Mario Golf to go back to this!
I disagree with him, the Vita failed because Sony blundered with it in every single way possible. Sony's strategy is about power and sure, a handheld doesn't fit in that. But he can't deny that there are customers that want portability - either in their own homes or going out.
@retro_player_22 Nintendo only published Origins outside Japan. In Japan it was published by Namco, similar to DQ Vii and DQ VIII with Square. I think its fair to assume that, since we haven't had any news on that IP, the decisions about it are on Namco and not Nintendo.
I was on the fence whether to get this game now or wait, and this made up my mind - I'll wait to get this down the road when it's on sale or when they release a full version including DLC.
DLC itself isn't the problem, but the gigantic focus on Fates is. Awakening's cast was somewhat salvable IMO but I hate Fates's characters. Specially Corrin.
It would have been a nice chance to bring back some of the underrated lords, like the twins and Eliwood, and fan favorites like Hector and Ike.
I downloaded Silver, and probably download Gold to my other 3DS to fill the Dex. I'll still get Crystal if it comes since I never got it and I always wanted to play as the girl in original Gen II
Hey, leather jackets and jeans are all the rage here among young people! Plus, they're really comfy. Now, polo shirts may be more indicative of mid life crisis...
As long as they're not mandatory updates, good. I like Netflix, but my TV and my iPad both offer me better screen quality than Switch. I want to keep the available space free for games.
Another one here that has never played Skyrim.... And it looks interesting enough, so I'll get it when finances allow. I do wonder how bugs and glitches are in this version, since Bethseda's so famous for them.
I'm sick as a dog, and I'm bed rest, so it's nice to be able to keep playing in my warm bed, instead of being tied to the TV. The fact that the system adapts to each person's life style is one big selling point.
Laugh all you want, but for those in Latin America, this is HUGE! We finally get some official support without having to fake a US address every single time!
@SwitchVogel Mitch, the country is Colombia, not Columbia.
I loved both Mario Gold for GBC and Mario Golf Advance Tour for GBA. It was a dissapointment that Nintendo and Camelot butchered the 3DS releases so badly - the RPG elements were godly! So this is day one - it will scratch the itch the GBC/GBA games left, golf with RPG elements works impressively well!
Ugh, I can't like the new art style ... The old one was more detailed and nicer, at least for me. But it's a general trend in cartoons nowadays, sadly.
@JubilifeRival Have you seen the queues in Japan? People queue just to enter a lottery for the chance to buy a Switch. It's absolutely bonkers. I don't doubt that any extra they produced will be sold out fast.
Why is people complaining about having options? It's great! This way, everyone can play according to what they prefer - graphics or performance.
And for those complaining the Switch doesn't reach PS4 or XONE performance, two things: First, we all knew it wouldn't reach those consoles when the specs were announced. It has a very powerful mobile chip, but it is still mobile. Second, even the PS4 and XONE have problems. If you truly care about graphics, why do you have a Switch and not a High end Pc?
I'll enjoy the game - 720 and 60fps is perfect. 720p is HD last time I checked and that's enough for me. 60 fps is a must in this kind of game!
I would be interested if it came to the Switch, but now I'll see if my PC can run it and wait for a ridiculous discount on Steam. I'll admit this is dissapointing.... if the remake can run on Vita, it sure can run on the Switch. Either money was thrown around here or Squeenix are being, well, Squeenix.

Re: Nintendo of America Launches Its Holiday Gift Guide Website
At the very least, I’ll get XC2 this Holiday season. If the wallet can support it, I may get Mario + Rabbids.

The review was quite explicit in saying tje could not recommend the game, so I really dont see the problem.

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th September (North America)
Golf Story for me. Can't wait to try it out, I need a successor to Mario Golf Advance Tour!
Re: Switch US Retail Game Sales 'On Pace' for Nintendo's Best Launch Year Since 1995
It's impressive how they turned the situation around after the disaster that was the Wii U.
Never count Nintendo out, it seems.
Re: Review: Star Fox 2 (SNES)
@dimi
Well, it's a 1993 game. You aren't going to ask 60 fps of this, or better AI, or anything among those lines.
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Gets a Suitably Dramatic Intro Cinematic
Looks nice, but nothing that impressive either.
Re: Video: The First 30 Minutes Of Golf Story Sure Do Look Pretty
Day one! I need this in my life - Mario Holf and Mario Tennis GBA are my to go games when I truly want a break or to relax!
We need Mario Golf to go back to this!

Re: A Sonic Mania Patch is Rolling Out, Includes Switch HOME Button Fix
Cool! I haven't played Sonic Mania yet despite buying it on release, so it will be nice to play it with these fixes.
Re: Playtonic Games is Working on Unity Issues for Yooka-Laylee on Switch
I still wonder why they used Unity, if it's known to be difficult to work with.
I'll get it, but they better avoid 2017 because it will be compared to Odyssey, and we all know which game is coming on top of that comparisons.
Re: Nintendo Highlights The Visual Changes in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
@retro_player_22
Nintendo only published Origins outside Japan. In Japan it was published by Namco, similar to DQ Vii and DQ VIII with Square.
I think its fair to assume that, since we haven't had any news on that IP, the decisions about it are on Namco and not Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo Highlights The Visual Changes in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
@Expa0
Isn't Namco the IP holder for Baiten Kaitos? It would be up to them to make a new game in that series.
Anyway, it's impressive how optimization has helped the visuals. Rex looks better now. Monolith has put a lot of work in this!
Re: Golf Story Will Swing Into Action This Week on the Switch eShop
Day one! We need more sports RPG. Mario Tennis and Mario Golf on GBA are fantastic!
Re: Nintendo Outlines Season Pass Details for Fire Emblem Warriors
I was on the fence whether to get this game now or wait, and this made up my mind - I'll wait to get this down the road when it's on sale or when they release a full version including DLC.

It would have been a nice chance to bring back some of the underrated lords, like the twins and Eliwood, and fan favorites like Hector and Ike.
Re: Rumour: Data Miners Find Evidence of Pokémon Crystal in the Gold and Silver VC Releases
I downloaded Silver, and probably download Gold to my other 3DS to fill the Dex.
I'll still get Crystal if it comes since I never got it and I always wanted to play as the girl in original Gen II
Re: You Can Now Enable Two-Step Authentication For Your Nintendo Account
Nice, although I don't think I'll use it. I don't think there is any risk of my account being hacked!
Re: Reggie on How Nintendo Handles Announcements and Responds to Fan Input
I like Nintendo 's approach to announcing game. I want to be hyped for something that will release soon, not for something in 3-4 years.
The wait for BoTW was truly annoying and I hope they don't repeat it.

Re: NES Title Golf is Hidden On Every Switch Console
What a way to troll everyone Nintendo.
I wouldn't be surprised if they threw that in as an Easter egg and they never unlock it. The new Star Fox 2?
Re: FIFA 18 Will Cost Less On The Nintendo Switch In Australia

Re: Super Mario 64 Online Creator Says "Nothing Can Stop" the Fan Project
After that interview? If NoA's lawyers didn't know, the do know now. The letter must be on its way by now.

Re: UIG Entertainment Has Switch Shovelware To Please Farmers, Firefighters And Horse Lovers

Re: Video: More Fire Emblem Warriors Characters Get Showcased in Stylish Trailers
Cool! I really want to use that physics defying horse - Er, I mean Xander.
And I hope we can use the Japanese voices. They sound far more spot on than the English voices!
Re: Get Ready for a Nintendo Direct on 13th September
Please, for the love everything holy, a port of Bayo 1 + Bayo 2 for Switch. If we get that, I would only need to finish XCX before I pack my Wii U.
Re: Don't Pay Over The Odds For A SNES Classic Mini, Urges Reggie Fils-Aime

Maybe down the road if I find one used and cheap.

Re: Golf Story Hits the Links in September, Exclusively on Switch

It's absolutely bonkers. I don't doubt that any extra they produced will be sold out fast.
Re: Ubisoft Developer Insists Steep Is Still Destined To Hit The Slopes On Switch
Looking forward to it. I hope they don't kill the project if they keep getting problems with the frame rate.
Re: These Pokémon Gold & Silver Joy-Cons Are Legendary
Gold and Silver are my favorite Pokémon games. If these were official I'd get them in a heartbeat.
Re: Review: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (Switch)
It sounds fantastic. I'll pick it up when finances allow it.

Great! I don't like football games, but I hope those that want FIFA enjoy it. It seems EA actually bothered to make a great port this time!
Re: Secret Of Mana Is Getting A 3D Remake, But Guess What Console It's Not Coming To
I would be interested if it came to the Switch, but now I'll see if my PC can run it and wait for a ridiculous discount on Steam.
I'll admit this is dissapointing.... if the remake can run on Vita, it sure can run on the Switch. Either money was thrown around here or Squeenix are being, well, Squeenix.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Walks Away With Lots Of Gamescom Awards
It will be interesting to see this year's GOTY awards - it will be a close competition between Odyssey and Breath of the Wild.
Re: Here's The Lead Problem With The SNES Classic's Controller
Again?! Really?
What are Nintendo's engineers smoking to ignore this issue, specially when it was already brought up with the Mini NES?
Re: Pokkén Tournament DX Demo Confirmed for the Switch eShop
Well, I may try it out now. I'm no fan of fighting games, but it is Pokémon so I'll give it a spin.
Probably won't get it, though.
