Re: Editorial: A Week of Gaming the Nintendo Switch Way

A good read , thanks!

I couldnt agree more , im a busy guy like most of us on this site , and at 27 i seem to have less and less time to enjoy gaming.
The switch has not only given me that joy back on my commutes and flights, but every dang time i have it with me friends and colleagues want to play too.

The switch clicking joycons coming together before every advert now makes me think of people coming together lol

@NintendoFan4Lyf I imagine your right and they'll use snowdrop engine for more titles.

It could also be that they were using snowdrop for Steep , which was a launch announcement but has hit what appears to be trouble in development. So mario + rabbids has ended up beating it to a release.
I dont think it fairs well for Steep that kingdom battle is 600p undocked, personally for me gameplay over graphics anyday, but if they cant get steep to an acceptable standard say 600p 30fps in undocked a la M+R , then the portable aspect of the switch is going to cause headaches to other devs too.

P.s I love my switch, not hating , just musing.

@Jacob1092 Here's to a great year 2! I was actually very suprised we didnt see a smash deluxe for christmas, but it may have eaten into mario odyssey sales, so it makes sense in a way to let that chill into next year.

I'm very optimistic for the system, im really interested to see what the next bonafide system seller is after M.Odyssey.

@Jacob1092 I'll take some of that positivity lol, I hope your right , I can't imagine what else they would have cooking to have a 1st party release for nearly every month of the year like the current stategy has been.

But as you say, they could be upto literally anything.

All i know is I'm stoked for Wulverblade, I didn't even know that game existed until the nindies event.
Having indies portable for me personally sets the switch apart from any of its competition.
