SwitchForce

Playing Demo it's not bad for Switch v1 graphics. Getting used to the controls and game mechanics is tricky right now...

Guess it's preorder at VGP for me...at this point...

Nintendo Core IP games isn't about to leap over to Xbox portable. People make it sound like Nintendo is desperate and that couldn't farther from the truth. They are awash in cash flow and owe no-one debts but because it's Nintendo people always put them down for reasons unknown to the rest of us.

Nintendo was quick to takedown leaks but was unable to contain them all. In the leadup, it asked participants to "not discuss or disclose" anything about the playtest.

I wonder of those that the Ninjas took down lost their accounts or were lifetime banned or got restricted in one form or another aka Blacklisted for life as results of this for violating the TOS? And now do they regret doing that???

I do think at launch with preorder or retail store it will hit price of $399usd if it does go to $350.99 that would have to mean the Switch v1 drops in price at release of Switch 2 to insure they can sell out v1 inventories and start sending out Switch 2 in masses.

@prw_88 Everyone is doing it to benefit their Country's own economic status. Stop blaming everyone else. USA has lost it's foot hold in making America great and blaming others for their own failings. Maybe if lobbyist paid Government forced american companies that outsourced jobs overseas and and productions overseas to give Americans a living job then we can talk. Also stop giving to Corporate Subsidiary as people keep talking pull up your boot straps but make the American Taxpayers pay for the Cooperate subsidiaries-then we will see whom is making jobs for American people or lining their own Greedy pockets. Every countries shares equal blame and targeting one because of one's own country failing just shows the lack of foresight as all economies comes back in full circle.

@James021 They can drop the Switch v1 price and make Switch 2 the new 359.99 price. Your thinking is why you don't work in the gaming console industry. The V1 are old inventory they want to move and best way is to drop the price when Switch 2 release and they would make even more money from that.

@Ryu_Niiyama They are using the old tried and failed troupe of Switch isn't powerful enough to play those game. But at same time it sold 150mil+ unit and game library sales that would stagger the mind.

@Automated_Unit_4937 That's too late, DK already theme parks opening day May 22. If they want maximum impact sales May 15 as multiple things are going down that day of not to mention Nintendo San Francisco new store opens. Just think for a moment why would they open a brand new store on May 15??? Along with games releases aka XBX, Atelier Yumia, Doom, MarioKart Lego - ask yourself why is this day happening? This can't be just coincidence here. MarioKart could be launched that day as well.

@LastFootnote This is a tangent, but I am worried that a lot of games won’t run well even on Switch 2 just due to developers not bothering to optimize for it.
What are you smoking man. This is what a NintenDoomed fandom would say that about the Switch or Switch 2. But did you look at sales are 150mils+ Switch and all time software sales record but yet. The old tried and Failed attempt at making themselves look bad.

We have 383K units in January shipping but now it's three months at a mil+ but you don't have shipping for those other shipping countries yet so that could be even more. Let's say they ship even half of them at 191Kx3monx3Countries=2.2mil extra to the 1mil right now and it look like 3mils state side to ship out. And how do we not know there wasn't more shipped ahead of these? And you have to consider they want to ship to US to because that is their Biggest market and a test of how they will roll out for other Country releases. We are missing Inventory and shipping data not shown or they hide those so Scalpers don't get their hands on them. And they diversified their manufacture to avoid future Tariffs to insure they get the best prices and sales.

I'll reserve any how I feel until it gets released and played on Switch 2 to see what it can do and most likely it will get a Update when it does release or have the update on it for game mechanics and graphics.

All this imaginary tariff on products already in US Nintendo warehouse.

This is the most troubling part of Bloomberg.
"On price, the analysts Bloomberg spoke to are unanimous"
How can you ever trust that means it's just rumors at this point.

I always find it comical Analysts can predicated when it Rains. When it comes from Bloomberg as much as rubbing salt in festering wounds.

They are so close to the warehouse...they get Switch 2 before the rest of the country does....ugh....on May 15....

What did I miss????

Surprised Spoilers didn't come sooner...

To both your talking November 15, 2013 tech. Don't see why people keep harping on 2013 tech as though technology doesn't move on. This is 2025 tech that's so far from 2013 but people keep thinking Switch is using 2017 LCD when clearly Sony Portal has LCD but no one knock on that they should use 2017 LCD panels. Switch 2 has 2025 performance in tech with PS5 technologies it can't ubber powertrip like PS5 but their tech behind Switch 2 clearly is getting AAA games so why do people keep harping 2017 tech as though Nintendo should be limited to using only 2017 tech?

Going past $400usd is going to stop families from buying it on release day. This isn't small change for a family of say 4 people. Even if they get two that's ~$800usd smackers. Not something to laugh about. Core gamers not so much but if they want a family gaming system making it cost family alot isn't going to sell well. They will wait with Switch OLED til holiday and that's not what Nintendo wants.

@Bizzyb This is how companies prepare their inventories...they stockup when they know they are going to release or make announcement. This what business does and Nintendo is a Gaming Console company and will not miss this chance to MILK us...

Too many things are lining up.

May 15 SanFranciso store opens up
May 15 Lego Mario release

Drumm rolllll...

May 15 Switch release....whether if they have Preorder pickup or Find them at retailers...

May 22 Donkey Kong --- parks opens up, They will not want to rain on DK.

Then that leaves May 15 with MarioKart release of Switch 2. They are going to MILK this for everything and keep Switch 2 in the news for the next months into the Holiday season.

Another: Doom Dark Ages drops May 15, so why release a GPU intensive game if you don't have console to play it???

Bloomberg has spoken to multiple analysts who "regularly communicate the company" and its "software and hardware partners" and it's believed it could come with a price tag of "$400 or more".
Here's the problem Bloomberg has been wrong so who's this analysts they are talking about? I have little faith in them knowing what they are talking about. As the analyst could be their own saying it was a analyst. What kinda communications are we talking here just PR? Most likely this is what it is.

You can't diss the Switch and have it both ways.

The Fact it was Digital scam no Physical is why I didn't buy in the first place if the second is like this I will pass.

@TimelessJubilee FYI Why are you even here if your are already dissing the Switch already. This is what I expect of those misinformed people to say.

The coincidence couldn't be at a more convenient time for Nintendo Switch 2 release???

Got Preorder in GS and BB and BB has the bonus....ugh...

Can anyone confirm for BB we also get this?
Best Buy in the US has a mini metal poster with the game's key art up for grabs with all pre-orders, although quantities are limited.
I wished they did more then this....

Pre order your copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition and receive the Exploration Support Package

It seems like you wouldn't get the Exploration Support Package with a Best Buy order, but having played the WiiU release, you're not going to use the gear long enough to care, and the starter bonus will eventually become insignificant once you get 2 to 3 chapters further into game progress. Personally, I would rather have the mini poster and stand than the digital items because it would stand as a nicer memento than the digital gear, which I might accidentally sell in the course of the gameplay.

This stinks to high heaven will have to cancel once I get it. The poster doesn't get it that someone will use it before chapter 2-3 regardless. They must not think much about that maybe someone like me want to explorer and grind before moving on.

Also Amazon shows no listing for it???

Yes....but then again I got way to many backlogs as well. ugh...with XBX coming...that was be what to do now...

I'll give it a demo try...but do have preorders for XBX as well for release.

There more the merry....consoles get....Xbox console is PC games how does that even compare??? The Switch isn't about to give their library to xbox it's the other way around here.

Even if games are similar it's the game mechanics and how they develop the storyline makes or breaks a game to make gamers enjoy them. Multiple players is more challenging but if they have passion they can do it. It takes the creators and game testers to deliver content people will want.

The more they can release on Day Release when that comes the harder Scalpers will find to sell as they will have inventory coming to for Scalpers to sell for a loss as one just waits and they get retail Switch 2 without waiting long.

The creators are the soul of the game and what keeps gamers coming. Without Passion/Love of the game it won't go far.

@garfreek You would own Saudia Arabia with those violations already many times over. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Guess Preorder for the Acrylic Standee before it's gone. Sucker for these farm sims. I might not finish but like enjoy them when I can. I got both DS games of it and did play it as well.

Natsume Store for $65.00 and you'll also receive a free Acrylic Standee

Not sure where that price was but I didn't pay that much...yikes...>!!!!
That better 4k60fps and have sniff smell included with it.

@gdk1ng424 I won't play any games owned by the saudis

And that means what? Being biased isn't a good suite here.

So we can't even list "ShovelWares"? Common.....

That is love of Mario...wow...just imagine the planning to do this.

I like to see the hardware for this.

Your Wifi is only as good as your Router....now I have to research for a good Wifi 7 router. Wifi 6 is good at home but as said ISP don't use wifi they have Fiber or Cable this gives them a foot hold and the fastest speeds to sell. So unless a wifi 7 is inexpensive that make or beak a decision to buy one.

@StewdaMegaManNerd Brewing Up a Storm: Flavors, Modifiers and The Brewery
I think most people knew this already but until Nintendo says so that confirms what people expected to happen.

I figure they would keep this as all the Amiibos they sold and new one will be supported.

I like the new gameplay challenges this makes one plan strategies and how to get the drop on opponent to beat them. Moving your Pokémon along with yourself makes for interesting how good of a Trainer you are.

I hope we get a complete open world FF where you explorer where-ever and do missions as you feel to complete them in any order.

The games being played varied by just how many posters there are registered.

Can't wait to get sleepless nights playing this game...
