@GrailUK I was about to triumphantly point to last year's Nintendo Direct that announced Doom and Wolfenstein as proof, then i realized that was in September.
Nintendo's E3 presentation would have been better received if the leaks weren't so prevalent. Of course, they could have helped that by not spending 20 minutes on Smash Bros changelog.
@AcridSkull Nintendo did actually show off a sizable number of games, but too many were leaked, too much time was dedicated to Smash, and the order that they showed stuff off didnt do them any favors either.
It's something to look forward to for this Spring. I'm mildly impressed with how it looks. Not that I'm a snob, i just don't always get interested in FE games.
This is looking a lot better than I anticipated. Mostly because i never heard of the game before and "free to play" doesn't usually mean quality to me.
I've never been too happy with human (or human Like characters) being done in highly articulated fashion, because the joints always look out of place to me. I collect Transformers, and the joints in those cases fit in with the robot aesthetic.
The only way this would make sense to me is if it would download a chapter of the game at a time for play, and if you were away from an internet hotspot, you could still play the amount currently downloaded until you got to another internet hotspot. Kind of like... Episodic gameplay, almost.
@Yukimasa The performance issue is just a quirk that happens with a few Switch games. If it has performance issues, restart the Switch console and they go away.
So, the way the online functionality sounds like it works, you can have other people play the NES titles with you multiplayer, or they can simply spectate. You can even transfer controls over to them. That sounds really cool to me, although this is something i would rather have for newer games.
@Fearful-Octopus I'd just tell people that Swery is known for taking inspiration from David Lynch, and can be really good at telling a story and writing characters. Deadly Premonition's car conversations about little known 70's and 80's movies are fascinating to say the least.
@rjejr Goku has been repeatedly requested for Smash, but he's been rejected because he did not originate from a video game.
If they let him in, they'll have to let in the other highly requested non-video game characters. Remember, the next most requested character was Spongebob, so...

Whoops.
Re: Panic Button Boss Says Another Major Switch Port Will Be Announced Next Month
Wait... Does this point to the possibility of another Nintendo Direct soon?
Re: Panic Button Boss Says Another Major Switch Port Will Be Announced Next Month
@XenoShaun Doom Eternal didn't announce any platforms, but they aren't likely to announce anything before Quakecon in August.

Woah, that's a nice surprise

@AcridSkull So? The third parties aee doing a decent job of expanding the game library.

Re: Cook Up A Storm With Your Switch When Overcooked! 2 Arrives On 7th August
My wife and I played the original game together. Wow was that one stressful.
Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Will Invade Your Switch In Spring 2019
It's something to look forward to for this Spring. I'm mildly impressed with how it looks. Not that I'm a snob, i just don't always get interested in FE games.
Re: Don't Forget Your Trunks When Dragon Ball FighterZ Arrives On Switch This Summer
Wait, this SUMMER? I was worried it wouldn't be out until the end of the year. Nice.
Re: Killer Queen Black Brings Arcade Action To Switch
I still don't know what's going on in that game.
Re: Square Enix's Octopath Traveler Prologue Demo Arrives On 14th June
I'm on the fence for this game. I felt that the first demo didnt show me enough of what i wanted to see. I'll be happy to try this though.
Re: Mech Some Noise For Daemon X Machina, Headed To Switch In 2019
This set my expectations high for the Direct. I am a huge mech fan.
Re: Mech Some Noise For Daemon X Machina, Headed To Switch In 2019
@AcridSkull what, you didn't like the 10 minute Smash Bros changelog?
Re: FIFA 19 Officially Confirmed For Nintendo Switch, Launches This September
I was hoping for The Sims to be announced for Switch.
Re: Video: Get A First Look At Paladins Running On Nintendo Switch
This is looking a lot better than I anticipated. Mostly because i never heard of the game before and "free to play" doesn't usually mean quality to me.
Re: Build For The Sky As Project Highrise: Architect's Edition Heads For Switch
@SmaMan it has a different focus, and establishes more of its own identity.
Even still, this is definitely an underserved genre on the Switch
Re: Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season Confirmed For Switch In Teaser Trailer
Meeh, it's nice to see this, but I feel like nothing they've done really lives up to Walking Dead Season 1.
Re: Astro Reveals Gorgeous Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Headset, Available Later This Year
It would solve a lot of problems to have a wireless headset that could connect to the Switch and your phone at the same time and combine the audio.
Re: Video: Completing Zelda: Breath Of The Wild In Under 40 Minutes By Flying On Trees
Link was possessed by the spirit of Tao Pai Pai, I see.
Re: EA Says Fifa 19 On Switch Will Build Upon Its Custom Engine To Improve Graphics
@Anti-Matter I would love Sims 4 on the Switch. Dont get my hopes up like that dammit.
Re: You Can Pre-Order Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee! for Switch Already
@GKO900 you're new to Pokemon, aren't you?
Re: You Can Pre-Order Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee! for Switch Already
@SmaggTheSmug be careful, leave Blastoise on your head too long and you'll end up with permanent neck damage.
Re: Nintendo Announces Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu! and Let’s Go Eevee! For Nintendo Switch
@Pokefanmum82 They also announced that Gen 8 is still being developed for next year. This sounds like a project to keep people satisfied until then.
Re: Review: The Banner Saga (Switch eShop)
@Danito definitely The Banner Saga, especially if you have any affinity for western RPGs or older, text heavy games. It is really well written.
Re: Gallery: We Had Far Too Much Fun Posing This Bandai-Made Super Mario Toy
I've never been too happy with human (or human Like characters) being done in highly articulated fashion, because the joints always look out of place to me. I collect Transformers, and the joints in those cases fit in with the robot aesthetic.
Re: Video: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Brings Both Good and Bad to Nintendo Switch
The only way this would make sense to me is if it would download a chapter of the game at a time for play, and if you were away from an internet hotspot, you could still play the amount currently downloaded until you got to another internet hotspot. Kind of like... Episodic gameplay, almost.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Banner Saga is nice, but the UI is a mish mash and could use work.
Re: Get Ready For Fantasy Tactical Role-Playing In The Banner Saga On 17th May
I have the PC version, but I didn't play it much. The portable nature makes it a lot more attractive.
Re: Review: Death Road To Canada (Switch eShop)
@Yukimasa The performance issue is just a quirk that happens with a few Switch games. If it has performance issues, restart the Switch console and they go away.
Re: Reaction: What are Your Thoughts on Nintendo Switch Online?
So, the way the online functionality sounds like it works, you can have other people play the NES titles with you multiplayer, or they can simply spectate. You can even transfer controls over to them. That sounds really cool to me, although this is something i would rather have for newer games.
Also frustrated by the voice chat decision.
Re: Review: Death Road To Canada (Switch eShop)
@Pyro2020 i noticed the performance issue on the Switch version too. Restarting my Switch fixed it.
Re: Swery65's The Good Life Will Come To Switch, But Only If It Hits $800K By The End Of The Day
@Fearful-Octopus I'd just tell people that Swery is known for taking inspiration from David Lynch, and can be really good at telling a story and writing characters. Deadly Premonition's car conversations about little known 70's and 80's movies are fascinating to say the least.
Re: Feature: Hands-On With Raging Justice, The Streets Of Rage Successor Your Switch Deserves
I'm more excited for The Takeover, personally.
Re: Review: Football Manager Touch 2018 (Switch eShop)
I love simulation games, but I'm not a sports fan in any way.
Re: Wolfenstein II On Switch Receives June Release Date And First Official Trailer
YES!!
Re: Battle Chasers: Nightwar Will Lay Siege To Nintendo Switch on 15th May
I'll wait for the reviews, but it looks pretty nice.
Re: Review: Kona (Switch eShop)
@Darth_Pascal I've had few issues in the game. The loading areas are a little wonky though.
Re: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Will Be Playable On Switch Next Month At PAX East
@sikthvash I'm hoping out for Fallout 4. The gunplay and the construction was a lot of fun, even if the dialogue was a huge letdown.
Re: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Will Be Playable On Switch Next Month At PAX East
@Juma009 I bought Doom and Skyrim day 1. This is another day 1 purchase for me.
Re: Feast Your Eyes (And Your Belly) On These Little Dragons Café Screens
I'm pleasantly surprised by gow this is looking.
Re: Feature: Which Games Do You Want To See In Today's Nindies Showcase?
@roadrunner343 Sony doesn't own Crash, though, and there were already GBA games and such.
Re: Feature: Which Games Do You Want To See In Today's Nindies Showcase?
@Anti-Matter I would also like to see more of My Life at Portia.
Re: Funimation Really Wants Goku To Join The Roster In Super Smash Bros
@rjejr Goku has been repeatedly requested for Smash, but he's been rejected because he did not originate from a video game.
If they let him in, they'll have to let in the other highly requested non-video game characters. Remember, the next most requested character was Spongebob, so...
Re: White House Meeting With Industry Execs Focuses On Violence In Video Games
@tamantayoshi The Florida shooter played DDR. Are we going to shut down DDR cabinets now?
Re: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Makes The Leap To Switch And 3DS
Honestly, I felt like this was a better minigame rather than a full game.
Re: Capcom Classic Okami HD Stalks Its Way To Switch This Summer
Did they fix the "fight the same boss 6 times problem?" If not, then i wouod have to pass.
