retribution

im sure my kids will have fun with this, but my mind is still trying to recover. Its just bizarre.

still. in. shock.

wow, don't think anyone was expecting that. but it could be cool to do with my son. still crazy though.
ps. can we have a real direct now?

I never played this on the other systems but will pick it up on switch for sure.

I did wonder about that. It wouldn’t surprise me at all.

It’s not for every one but I love rpgs and thought that what I’ve played of it so far is quite cool.

JRPG is my favorite genre, cant wait!!!!!
Ps: I like to game hop. You know, play a bit of one game then change to an other game for a while. Here is what I played so far today: splatoon 2, Mario odyssey, arms, Mario cart 8, Zelda botw. I can’t put into words how good the switch has turned out to be. It is far and away my favorite console of all time and it has not even been out a year. I said games would make or break the system; I just can’t believe how amazing the game line up is already.

I have been using motion controls since release cos it was the ‘right thing to do’ i couldn’t get out of b rank, yesterday i switched back to stick controls and went straight to s rank. WTF.

it is one of the best games ever made. but I do really wish it had ocarina of time type dungeons.

Dear Nintendo. Congrats on your 128th birthday! Can you please make me a switch that runs splatoon2 at 1080p consistently with some AA thrown in for good measure? I promise to buy lots of them. Thanks so much.

Can't believe the number of people posting that they have decided not to buy one yet. I respect your decision however as someone that loves video games I believe all current gen systems are worth buying. Your just missing out on some great games.

this game has exceeded my expectations. so happy with it....[sneaks off to google "meal ticket glitch"]

10/10 yay!!! i know a review is just someone else's view and different people are going to like different games. but when you like a game as much as i like splatoon its nice to see it get a great score from others as well

@Dpullam personally i think the pro controller is an absolute
must have. the sticks have about twice the movement in them compared to the joy cons, i feel like thats an advantage in multiplayer as it just feels more accurate. but even in games like breath of the wild the pro controller feels heaps better. i couldn't recommend it enough.

if it helps stop the hackers in splatoon then the OS can take all the time it wants

This was the first time a got to use a pro controller for splatoon2. I don’t use motion controls but was super impressed with how high quality the sticks felt. As expected the game is silky smooth and plays great. Can’t wait for Friday

the game looks great but I'm not so sure if i like the idea of a toy clipped onto my control pad. I'm willing to give it a go though

@Grudgebearer
I will admit it is hard to recommend the switch if someone could only get one of the consoles on the market right now. Most people would probably prefer other consoles because of the game library that is already there. (I feel that horizon zero dawn is one of the best games ever made) Personally though I would happily pick the switch over any other console purely for splatoon 2. Everything else on switch is just a bonus, and I’m getting tones of fun out of arms

@Grudgebearer true, i have always been a multiplatform gamer. every console out there has exclusives that i NEED to play

It is true Nintendo has become isolated. And yes the Switch is definitely another step in that direction, but the company is not short of money and I like to think that Nintendo can nowadays survive quite well doing its own thing in its own way. The last two years we have got two great new IPs. It is a shame you can't play the latest AAA on Nintendo, but it is a price worth paying if you like Nintendo games.

honestly this game really doesn't look like my sort of thing.

the actual game looked quite good. the zelda trailer was a good laugh. might not be worth their while though if nintendo come down on them too hard.

team ice cream all the way! hope the aus times work out ok.

@Mogster true this is only japan data, don't worry i wasn't trying to bad mouth sony, i have a ps4pro and love that too.

lol. I remember sony saying something like "we are not worried about the switch, its in a different market" hahahaha

I have always been amazed at how small the file size of Nintendo games are.

2 days from now? wow thats short notice. count me in.

if they are making number three for the switch i would hope they release a port of the first two while we wait please.

in Australia EB games told me: sorry cant take any more pre orders and that they were the fasting selling preorders in history of the company.

think I will skip this one ...NOT!
interested to see if they put a clan management system into the game. this would help to build the e-sports side of things

10 mill the first year is a very strong number and right now seems totally realistic. Maybe even not enough.

@Pigeon youtube gameplay footage

Very excited for this game! Definitely day one purchase.

this is like Nintendo giving me the middle finger

@Cyberbotv2 I tried so hard to get a nes mini for so long. im in the same camp as you, this just makes me angry.

they have a few months to work hard at meting demand. then x-mas hits $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Nintendo is set for life at this stage. which means I am set for life as a gamer. all is well

honestly, I just bought it to play splatoon 2

at worst, maybe sony funned Capcom to make a monster hunter game like they did with blood bourne......so then ... Nintendo should fund Capcom to make monster hunter switch

hold on people...... show me prof they are paying to have monster hunter worlds not on switch! its not on switch for the same reason destiny2 is not on switch..... switch cant run that...... that's not the devs fault

PLEASE READ:
Totally agree! Sony and Microsoft (or whatever they are called) are very similar so Nintendo adds flavour to the gaming scene. Also, I can’t watch the new god of war trailer with my 4 year old son, cos i am a responsible parent (also my wife would kill me) (which is ironic if you think about it) but you should see how totally loving life he is when we got arms (forever not just a test) he loves gaming as much as I did before the world crushed my soul and it is so nice to see that again. I could not have given him that experience on any other device. Nintendo gave my son something I thought had been lost to the ages... a good clean video game! He tells me he is a gamer and will never change his mind. So thank you Nintendo!

@ShadJV
I have really tried over the years to use and like motion controls but I just cant do it. arms is yet another game that I have turned motion controls off for and it will stay that way

Nintendo's ips are very different than the traditional e-sports games, but Nintendo could still set up their own e-sports system, and it would get a good group of supporters.

These guys are so cool. Love what they do. My solution is long switch sessions are done with pro controller

The Stirling squid was my highlight, what a trophy! I feel they did not show much new stuff but they covered that well with esports events and extended treehouse.

This is important to me. I am very happy!!! 60fps will always be the most important but to have it at 1080p is really great

This is really exciting, I hope retro is working on something totally new

Surprised and disappointed. Visually it looked like a game the switch would struggle to render at over 5 fps. Still hoping to see switch version of xx make it outside Japan

Sorry I didn't read the article, but "quick wins" are you serious, do you make games???????? Cos if you did I think you would know, wins are earned!

E3 is the best time of year!

we thought that if the switch sold well we would start to see devs support it. and that is what we are seeing here. its another step in a great direction
