@Danrenfroe2016 agreed. Astral chain could use some surround love. Hyrule warriors had decent surround on Wii U, but lost it on Switch. Best surround so far is on breath of the wild and starlink. High hopes for other Ubi titles (the greek gods one). They know sound design. DxM and DB fighterZ are ok surround. Do you have suggestions?
@Danrenfroe2016 I asked this very question and Feral said: "yes it does, you could have known that when looking at the eshop entry". Pity nobody else but us two care enough about surround sound to mention how good it is in a review...
It's a good thing to be able to choose digital. I wish Labo had that choice. I went all digital and I love it. Never lose a cartridge, change games from the couch and be able to use the same games on multiple switches without moving the cartridges around (not at the same time though)
Nintendo can call it whatever it likes, but I'm calling it "Swifit" (Swifit Ring, Swifit Strap, Swifit "if you're brave enough", and the game: Swifit) and I will be buying it.
@NotTelevision This will be cheaper than any gym membership, since those inevitably are for at least half a year AND no-show fines if you get into one of those. And you may actually use SwiFit. Plus there is the bonus of making everybody who comes over try it and look like... well, like on the video.
@Nico07 they also announced the end of the game and no more physical toys. So everything we get is a bonus. It also appears that they had this planned all along: the weird way you could buy digital or physical toys now makes sense.
@premko1 that seems on par with the originals. I was hoping for something better; the pro controller has good range, but the joy con don't. I have one joy con for which 3 meters is the max. I would really like "pro con", with better range, better joystick and adult size grip. These knock offs could be close...
@thedicemaster so the switch only being able to output hdmi with the original dock when used with the Nintendo adapter is OK? To a consumer it is rather vexing that even though connectors converge on one physical form (USB C), devices won't work together if they fit together. Bring back the old days of proprietary connectors. At least that was clear.
@FlyingFoxy exactly. If VR, then there will need to be a high res Switch. With maybe tegra X2 and at least 1440p on the same size device. But please: smaller border?
@NorrinRadd Not exactly, but it seems like a combo of perfect guard with shield switching done quick. perfect guard example here: https://youtu.be/-JuKthrdG6g
@MichaelHarvey perhaps to you. Others find the cloud saves, NES games or online play alone enough. But it would be nicer if there were non subscription alternatives to all of these. Perhaps if you run your own splatoon server...
Good to update this, but as long as this list has become, it is not complete. At least the Rovio mask is missing, which increases your sideways jumping power...
@Saego "two brothers, in a van, and then a mexican armada came". I'd play that. But this... there is no side step animation: the characters just woosh aside. And how are this guy and girl keeping exact pace? Nah. Concept: good, execution: goodn't.
Got it on pre order. Much more fun than FEW, which I sold. Hope there will be an update that brings wagging the joy con to attack, like wiimote-nunchuck on wii u.
I had never finished the original missions, but now I am working my way through them and loving it. No doubt splatoon 2 will be one of the drivers for the Nintendo online service...
@bluesdance I think the joy con are used without a Switch and either a computer or something like a raspberry pi is used to respond to the joycon bluetooth and control high power wheel chair motors.

Re: Square Enix Is Releasing A Game Boy Color Dragon Quest Game On Switch eShop
Do they also dare to charge $60 for it?
Re: Ring Fit Adventure File Size Revealed, Download Code Version Also Available
@brunojenso it should be called : Swifit. That's what I'm calling it.

@mantez no I think the IR in the joycon measures heart rate

@iLikeUrAttitude ...and an amiibo!
Re: Talking Point: Please Nintendo, Can We Get These Things In Switch Firmware Version 10?
I want dolby atmos sound. Nvidia chip can do it, just a matter of software, right?

Re: Random: Don't Worry, Nintendo Switch's 'X' Button Is Still Called 'X'
Well... it could be:

@westman98 good chance for it to be online, so they can push the "online" product.

Re: PlatinumGames' Astral Chain To Be The First Of A Trilogy, Depending On Its Success
@Rhaoulos Nier:automata already is three games. I doubt we'll see those androids again. We need to learn to live with the hot pants in Astral Chain
Re: Switch Mini Rumours Escalate As Spanish Arm Of GAME Lists Accessories
If Nintendo also announces something like Download-Play for Switch, then it's a deal.
Re: Random: Astral Chain Is Filled With Hidden Toilets And "Lots Of Cats"
@nintendolie as a parent I concur: toilet is a place of quiet introspection an both mental and physical purging.

Re: Starlink: Battle For Atlas' Huge Crimson Moon Update Is Now Live
@sleepinglion I doubt there will be a sale on the DLC. Mario + rabbids dlc has never had a discount.

Re: Review: Fear Effect: Sedna (Switch eShop)
@Aozz101x it's on sale now for 90% off, but I am still doubting the roi of my time.

Re: This Portable Joy-Con Charger Doubles Up As A Controller, And It Charges Your Switch Too
@MysticGengar Nintendo should have implemented industry standard USB-C.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Could Make Its First VR Announcement For Switch This Year

Re: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Gets Two-Player Co-op And Paid DLC
@Charlie_Girl There will probably be a Definitive Master HD release on the Switch U (the thing that comes after the Switch in a couple of years)

@Vix_Chan Congrats! I did a candy version of the motor cycle with my Son. https://www.nintendo.nl/games/oms/labo/img/contest_winners/regional_kids.jpg
I love how grippy the joy con are and that the colour is represented correctly on screen. Also loved the plain box they came in.
