@justin233 By paper they mean tabletop, a good way to prototype a battle system for strategy games is to do pen an paper. They were always going with 3D.
This game will work in China but it is too alike to Spaltoon to be released in other stress. In Fact Nintendo might have trouble bringing Splatoon to China as this game could consider Splatoon 2 the rip off.
@Roam85 It wasn't the point of it, it was meant as a memento of Iwata in the Switch. It wasn't meant to be opened or played. It loses the magic by opening it.
@Armbouncer I like streaming as my desktop is in another part of the house and I like being in the room with other people, as I have to help take care of things for people around the house. It is a reason I want to get a gaming laptop.
Yeah, this is a little crazy, those saying Nintendo needs to have more internal storage need to realize that flash based storage costs a bit more due to still being new-ish. The choice of carts over discs also is a better choice in the long run as disc drives have a high rate of breaking, sadly.
@rjejr I just looked it up, Nintendo has three options: Do a one time giveaway where Apple allows them to have 50-100 codes to give away, Make some of the stickers free, if possible, and lock others away behind paying for it fully and offer that as a My Nintendo reward through a special code to redeem, the third option is for them to offer the 50-100 codes then buy codes from Apple then offer those in MyNintendo for Gold coins, you earn silver coins just for popping onto the store.
Apple's rules kind of hamper Nintendo from elegantly doing what you would like them to do. I'm not even sure if the second option is even available for iMessage stickers.
@rjejr I'm not sure they actually could depending on how Apple does their iMessage stickers. If they are able to do that, Apple might want a piece of the pie. One of Apple's policies is that they get a cut of microtransactions sold on their apps, and that includes stuff like Office 365 and Onedrive.
@Shade_Koopa Actually they just using DInput, not XInput. XInput is a standard mostly used for xbox 360 and Xbox one controllers, if the switched used this protocol, the PC would see switch controllers as Xbox controllers. Steam Big picture sees the Switch Pro as a Dinput device.
I think these kind of games would be great on the switch. They should make them available akin to splatfests, have announcers do voice overs to mimic what was once done. Nintendo made the Fire Emblem Stellaview episodes part of Fire Emblem 12 via special download.
I have a friend that was able to get me a copy of the beta, the game is really fun. The graphics are great as well, animations are nice, but the game is nicely put together.
@BlueOcean @Kalmaro There was actual talk of the port for II being rushed, as the first Heroes game ran rather well on the Switch. I don't doubt more optimization coming to the switch version coming. Especially with the Musou engine running even better on the switch due to Fire Emblem warriors.
@Snebbu In a world where people want to sue the manufacturer of guns for gun related crimes, Nintendo can be an easy target for wacky groups. Nintendo has been conservative in the past as well. If you are in their Program you are a face of Nintendo, like it or not.
You do realize the issue with people such as Pewdiepie, I don't follow him so I probably got the spelling wrong, is probably want helped push this forward. They can't have their brand harmed with such words being said. It is Nintendo's brand so they should have a say in how it is represented.
From what I understand the Japanese version has the mobile adaptor support for Celebi, and they maybe were wanting to not rip it out like they did for the English release?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE The browser is in the OS, however hackers have and continue to search out webkit bugs to get it hacked into pieces. Right now Nintendo is locking it away as it can be properly locked down.
I say Nintendo buys them, turn part of the store into a Nintendo World Store, encourage people to shop there by linking MY Nintendo rewards to purchases, sell card for digital content/games. Just an idea.
I would be willing to get it if they had it for $20, $30 is too much for a port of the pocket edition. Good to see Nintendo willing to have more games that require the hardware of the New 3DS.
Considering how DOOM can run with Vulkan, the switch is compatible with Vulkan, so I am excited about this game coming out for it. Bethesda seems to love the switch,
As discussed elsewhere, the issue with the switch stock is the lack of NAND chips. Nintendo has been working on getting more of them, but Apple has been ordering a lot of chips.
@Rexx Tantalus, the people who made ME3 WiiU and a number of other UE3 ports to the WiiU are handling the port and they could've ran into an issue with the game that they weren't expecting. They are also working on Sonic Mania, which also got pushed back on all platforms so that could be taking priority right now.

Re: Persona 5 Will Not Be Coming to the Switch
@Telin I was actually willing to buy it on the Xbox one, I just find it funny that Gamestop made that mistake.

I only hope Nintendo doesn't over-correct their security to the point where the Vita was more secure than the PS4.
