Nintendo Switch Announced

[Big Vic]

Of course they will have games/accessories they want to sell those things to the people who do own a switch.

[Kalyx triaD]

So consoles selling out is a sign of doom.

I feel we've reached the zenith of cynical analysis.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Places over here are having a grey re-stock for Mario Kart on Friday, but some places that took pre-orders for that stock like Amazon have already been sold out. Neons are back in May 5th so see how long that lasts.

Damn STD was right Nintendoomed

According to Nintendo, they sold around 2.74 million Switch consoles for its launch month. Around 740k more than they were expecting for best case scenario and ahead of schedule for the 10 million they are hoping before the end of the fiscal year.

In terms of Zelda, sold slightly more than actual Switch consoles for its launch month. Wii U version sold over a million for its launch.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sold more than the Switch itself at 2.76 million Switch versions sold, 3.84 million including the Wii U version sales.

I had my copy of zelda a month prior to the switch

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I keep saying; the 3DS is dead.

Kalyx is technically correct.

Long live the New 2DS XL

[road doggy dogg]

I uh... is that a joke?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I uh... is that a joke?

Nope. It's Nintendo.

It's basically what they did with the GBA with the GameBoy Micro where they put it out at a cheap price.

They did that Wii Mini too.

[road doggy dogg]

Like, that actually looks like probably the best iteration of the xDS line they've come out with to date.

But in typical Nintendo fashion, they come out with this at the exact moment that Switch hype is at pitch fever. Tremendous.

[road doggy dogg]

I wonder what the trade-in value for the N3DSXL is. I wouldn't be terribly opposed to swapping mine for that, if the price was right

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The White/Orange one is pretty sweet too

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-drrKbV0AAAdxx.jpg:large

The hinge is pretty horrible though.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's what the Japs call the XL models. It means 'Large large' which is what they call 'extra large'

[road doggy dogg]

silly Japan

[Emperor Smeat]

I wonder what the trade-in value for the N3DSXL is. I wouldn't be terribly opposed to swapping mine for that, if the price was right

At least for Gamestop, either $70 or $100 based on recent deals they have for trade-ins for the Switch.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Huh, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best selling game of the year so far at amazon.com

[road doggy dogg]

It's sold more than BOTW already? I find that hard to believe

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems Amazon wasn't expecting the large amount of pre-orders that came in for the game and are currently having inventory problems.

Some people got their orders delayed till early May from Amazon.

http://www.polygon.com/2017/4/28/15474302/mario-kart-8-amazon-delays

[Ruien]

Did not know Amazon gave a 20% discount if you are order a game. Seems like a big discount to give out.

Dont bitch just enjoy it

[Emperor Smeat]

Only for Prime members which is how Amazon can afford to give away those high discounts.

[road doggy dogg]

Any of you y'all have MK8 and wanna play some online?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I can buy it. MK8 sold 12 million even on the Wii U. Thing is a monster.
Any of you y'all have MK8 and wanna play some online?

Word. Give me your friend code and shit. Mostly playing battle mode when I do go online right now.

[road doggy dogg]

Oh yeah battle mode is the way to go. I'm a fan of coin runner too.

SW-4130-7240-3264 is my friend code... should probably put that in the main thread in the VG forum here somewhere

[Droford]

I like best buy gamers club..its 20% off all games all the time even on sale. Its 30 for 2 years but it pays for itself after you buy 2.5 new games ($60 game = $12 discount)

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, Amazon Prime price mat he'd them on the 20%.

Here in the UK, they give £2 off....

[#BROKEN Hasney]

MK8 Deluxe is the fastest selling Mario Kart in history in the US. Considering Mario Kart Wii is the 3rd best selling game of all time, that's pretty damn good.

459,000 copies in one day.

[road doggy dogg]

Nice. Everything so far has been pretty positive for the Switch, minus supply issues which I guess is a somewhat good problem to have in the overall scheme of things.


Been working on unlocking all the kart parts still, while slowly chipping away at the golden stuff. I've beaten about 4 staff ghosts so far, a long way to go yet...

[road doggy dogg]

Also, even though you did say it, it's nice to point out that the 459k is just US/NA numbers.



For curiousity sake I looked up "fastest-selling" numbers/stats....... still crazy that GTA V sold 12 million its first day. Ridiculous

Instantly read this as "Mortal Kombat 8 Deluxe...." followed by the rest being normal.

:wtf:

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the Wall Street Journal, main reason Nintendo was able to sell more consoles than they were expecting was due to them eating a lot of money on using two shipping methods.

Bulk of the Switches were done with regular sea shipping while smaller batches arrived by plane which cost them around $45 per console. Gave Nintendo the ability to rush more consoles out of China by plane when they were done rather than having to wait till they could fill the numbers needed for a sea shipment.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Instantly read this as "Mortal Kombat 8 Deluxe...." followed by the rest being normal.

:wtf:

Ha, I do it the opposite way when people talk about Mortal Kombat as MK.

Do you go Gears or God when someone says GoW?

[drave]

Gears. I think just because I hear more about it.

[Destor]

God easily for me

[Fignuts]

MK = Mortal Kombat
GoW = Gears of War

Probably just because gears hasbeen around more, the past 10 years. Never heard anyone refer to mario kart as mk tho. That was always mortal kombat.

[Tom Guycott]

I made the same mistake, and thought "When did Nintendo approve a Mortal Kombat game?"

GoW for me is automatcally God of War, because anyone I know referring to Gears of War usually just says "Gears" followed by whatever number.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's almost like they sell out as soon as they get restocked. Doom indeed..

No, they probably haven't received one in weeks/months is to blame. Overstocked on the accessories for the small few who have gotten one.

[Destor]

No, they probably haven't received one in weeks/months is to blame. Overstocked on the accessories for the small few who have gotten one.

Theyve sold 2.74 million since launch. They are on pace to sell 16 million by year end.

In 3 years the current gen leader ps4 has sold 54mil. This console will very likely be no.2 best seller of this console cycle and could very possibly out pace the ps4 as well.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No, they probably haven't received one in weeks/months is to blame. Overstocked on the accessories for the small few who have gotten one.

They've sold more than any Nintendo console in the same time period and close to the PS4 launch numbers, so try again?

[Big Vic]

I think the Wii sold like 2.88 Mill in the same amount of time.

[road doggy dogg]

Anyone else play much of MK8D so far? I've gotten the gold kart for beating all of 150cc and mirror. Working on beating the Time Trial staff ghosts, and they all seem fairly easier than I remember the ghosts ever being. I'm thinking they're intentionally tuned to be easy to beat and not meant to be a super tough measure of skill etc. Like if you compare the staff ghost to the online racer times, the racers online have like 10+ second leads on the staff time...

One thing I do like about the staff ghosts is they do tend to show you a lot of the shortcuts in the maps, which I'm also starting to think might be intentional. They typically start off with the first lap getting to 10 coins then in laps 2/3 they use one or two shortcuts in the map. If you follow along with them you can learn their route then easily beat them, but learning where those shortcuts are is kind of neat.

I've done about 1/3 of the courses now against the staff ghosts, will probably finish them tonight and unlock Gold Mario I guess

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Gold Mario is unlocked by coming first on all the 200cc cups rather than time trials. That is pretty hard in places, the only challenge really.

[road doggy dogg]

Oops, yeah, the TT thing is for another one of the gold kart pieces... wheels or glider, I forget which (the other is getting 10k coins)

[Emperor Smeat]

I think the Wii sold like 2.88 Mill in the same amount of time.

Think what makes the Switch's launch more impressive is it didn't happen during the holidays like the Wii and other consoles. That is usually the biggest month(s) for consoles sales in the US.

[road doggy dogg]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe passed the 1 million sales mark for April, which is pretty impressive since it came out on the 28th, and is basically a port

[Ruien]

http://www.stockinformer.com/checker-nintendo-switch-console

This link keeps upsetting me.

[Ruien]

Fuck. Gamestop has then in stock but only selling in crazy bundles. Don't want shit like Has Been Heroes.

[Ruien]

Going to sleep on it. 500 dollars to play Zelda basically. Not sure I even care about Mario Cart honestly.

[Ruien]

Help.... I know Mario Cart is awesome but I already beat everything on the Wii U. Not a fan of buying a game a second time. Other bundle comes with some snipperclips game and memory crap. Fuck that.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Never say fuck Snipperclips assuming you have a friend. Fantastic game.

[road doggy dogg]

Snipperclips is great but yeah the Switch as a whole is much less exciting if all you're ever going to do is play solo. Zelda will give you 100+ hours but after that the console really shines in co-op

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Rime was notable for being $10 more expensive on the Switch compared to other platforms, which is apparently due to the cart, but Nintendo wanted pricing to be on par between the digital and retail versions which fucked that up.

Looks like Nintendo has allowed different prices now as Rime will be $29.99 digitally on Switch while physical still has to stay at the higher price or sell at a loss. The retail version now has a code for the OST.

Ya agreed. Mainly, I don't want to buy a bundle with crap I don't like. Not buying Mario Cart 8 again for a few changes.

Walmart flash sale lasted like 5 minutes. Went to checkout and it was out of stock.

Should be called Splatoons.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The Neon ones are up on Amazon.com for Prime members only. Trial works.

EDIT: Annnnd they're gone.

[road doggy dogg]

Damn, I really want those neon joycons, for my 2nd pair. I will probably end up grabbing Arms in physical form if there's a physical bundle with them

(did not watch Direct, was laying in bed dying all day; that's what they're going to do right?)

oh nvm the direct isn't until 6:00 EST

For those interested in Hollow Knight for the Switch, the developer recently stated they hired another dev team to help out with the port of the game. Basically lets them speed up the time needed for the port rather than them doing it just by themselves.

https://www.destructoid.com/hollow-knight-now-has-a-second-team-to-help-speed-up-the-switch-port-436648.phtml

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Here we go. Starting with story stuff.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Each character has 3 arms each with different weights and one of 7 attributes. You can have one of each on each arm.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Modes are 1v1
2v2 (With friendly fire. My god)
Volleyball
Basketball (your opponent is the ball)
Skillshot (Hit targets, 2 player)
1 v 100 (survival mode)
Training mode

In game currency to earn and buy new ARMS.
Duplicate items level up.
The shop is an actual mini-game

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No n VS modes:

Grand Prix (Single player or 2v2 v CPU tournament)
Party Match (Online network play with 10 systems per lobby and 2 players per system for 20 players)
Ranked Match (Can matchmake in background of other modes)
Local up to 8 players

Updates will have new fighters, stages and ARMS to download all free

ARMS Global test punch from 26th May-28th and 2nd June -4th June FREE. eShop should have the test client

FUCK YEAH

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Splatoon 2 trailer has Marie and then into single player.

Looks bigger than the first one already with platforming and puzzles being shown off.

And, even though the notes themselves are relatively uneventful, it's rare to get actual patchnotes from Nintendo!

Version 1.1

Opponents’ names are displayed in the rear view mirror view in online matches.
Invincibility period after a spin-out or crash is longer in online matches.
Up to two players can spectate a friend group while they wait to join.
“Worldwide” and “Regional” modes add players to Mirror and 200cc matches less often.
Can now properly create a friend lobby when you have 100 or more friends.
Inkling Girl’s animation has been adjusted.
Starting positions in online races now properly reflect the order in which players join.
Driver Miis now properly showing facial expressions.

I like when Nintendo goes PG-13 since they are such a G-Rated company; it hits me a bit harder compared to the other consoles constantly putting out R rated material.

I remember playing Star Fox 64 and being shocked that Pigma said "Your dad screamed realll good before he DIED!"

Also shocked they allowed blood in OoT.

Only for Japan at the moment but Nintendo is currently selling empty Switch boxes. Splatoon 2's bundle box is the only box available at the moment though.

I'd laugh but its a pretty big market at least by eBay standards.

Splatoon is insanely huge in Japan for a Wii U game. I think the week after it came out, it sold the most it ever did since launch. Even more of a bump than Mario Kart 8 gave it.

Now it's on a system people actually want, it's going to be fucking huge over there.

All I'm getting from this stupid Rabbits bullshit is that probably 20 minutes of Nintendo's one-hour E3 presentation is going to be dedicated to this garbage. Can't wait.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It sounds like it plays like Final Fantasy Tactics or XCom so I'm willing to give it a decent chance.

Mario Odyssey details and assuming Xenoblade is actually coming this year, details on that will make up for it. AS WELL AS A NEW FUCKING WARIO WARE. COME ON.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Also, Ubisoft need to stop leaking shit.

[road doggy dogg]

They could have just skinned 1-2 Switch with a bunch of Wario crap and I'd feel a lot better about having bought it.

[road doggy dogg]

Is Disgaea 5 worth looking at on Switch? I haven't played any of those games since I think 1 or 2 that was on the original DS. I remember vaguely liking it but not getting super into it. I think 5 has a demo out on Switch, maybe I'll try that out.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, there's a demo. I love the games, but they do feel like they drag near the end with them being so long and not changing too much, so it's a nice game to take breaks from and come back to.

[Emperor Smeat]

For those interested in the digital version of ARMS, it was revealed to be around 2.2 GB in size,

For some comparisons to recent stuff on the Switch, the game is around 200MB bigger than a save file of Minecraft for the console and around 5.2 GB smaller than NBA Playgrounds. Even in terms of fighting games, its around 500MB smaller than Ultra Street Fighter II.

Capcom have said their Switch support will be based on sales of Ultra Street Fighter 2, the over priced port.

They really don't have a clue, do they?

That sounds almost as dumb as the AT&T CEO talking about making 20 minute Game of Thrones episodes for mobile

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Looks like just a terrible translation, thank fuck

This is literally translated to:
As Capcom, we aim to bring games to all platforms, and continue our research.
As for the Switch, in May we will release USF2 and we will plan our support while looking at the situation [of the platform].

Switch sales are outpacing the OG Wii sales by 10% right now too. That's pretty insane, considering how monstrously popular that thing was.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

And considering it launched in March. But to be honest, it's not totally apples to apples as both the Switch and Wii were sold put. They're just able to stock the Switch slightly better.

just over 10 minutes until the first test punch. Just have the game fired up already so I can dig the music.

I can see really enjoying the 1v1 mode and stuff, when you have time to stop and think and plan your moves. Patience and waiting for an opening seem to be killer in this. Instead of just spamming punches, throw one arm out and as they move throw your second arm in that direction, etc.

Grabs seem way OP though. I've won many games by basically chain-grabbing people, which seems really stupid and lame.

Still on the fence how I feel about it. I enjoy these little snippets of playing it but idk if I'd get a ton of mileage out of the full game.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Grabs are easy to dodge and punish once you see that glow coming in, just dash and throw a pucn with the opposite hand curved TO THE FACE

[#BROKEN Hasney]

ARMS is so much better on a pro controller and Min Min with one heavy and one curve arm is great. I'm all in now.

[road doggy dogg]

OH SHIT, Monster Hunter XX on Switch is going to have crossplay with the 3DS. That's huge fucking news and really bodes well for other Switch titles (*cough* POKEMON *cough*) if that's a thing they can consistently pull off. I'm not even a huge Monster Hunter guy but that's fucking incredible news.

[road doggy dogg]

ARMS is so much better on a pro controller and Min Min with one heavy and one curve arm is great. I'm all in now.

I'll have to try it with the Pro. I've never been a big motion control guy so it might give me a better feel for the game.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Min min with one heavy arm and one curve arm is nuts. ONly lost one fight... The less said about V-Ball performance the better though.

[The Rogerer]

Why a pro controller over the docked joycons?

[Destor]

Why a pro controller over the docked joycons?

Its more ergonomic to the hand

The joys would be in my bottom 5 worst controllers ever

The pro would be in my top 5 best

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I don't mind the joycons in the grip, but it does feel a bit Dreamcast controllery.

Development Of Mario + Rabbids

From talking to a handful of those involved with it, there is a prevailing sense of Nintendo letting go of the reins with the project. Their involvement with it isn’t as controlling as you might imagine. While representatives of the ‘Big N’ are closely overseeing it and their approval is required for anything concerning the use of their characters; even the most outlandish ideas from the developers have been met with little resistance. Nintendo is letting Ubisoft play freely in the Mario sandbox with few restrictions and that creative freedom is evident in just about every aspect of it.

Take, for example, the game’s slightly twisted sense of humour. The title from what we’ve heard is laden with surreal, self referential gags and Ubisoft staff argue that it works fairly well in context. In one of the prototypes seen earlier in development, one source recalled a hulky Donkey Kong themed rabbid serving as one of the first boss encounters. The rabbid has access to a pile of bananas that it can use to replenish its health. Players are required to first cut off his food supply to prevent him from recovering before they can do some real damage. The DK rabbid apparently will dab periodically if it lands an attack correctly (a possible reference to DK’s dab from Mario Kart 8). Once the boss is defeated, one member of the player’s party, a rabbid cosplaying as Princess Peach, takes out a smart phone and nabs a selfie with the DK Rabbid as it collapses.
Mario + Rabbids Game Details

The game isn’t all weird in-jokes and meme humour, however. There appears to be a fair deal of substance to its mechanics. The 8 playable characters each have an individual skill tree of sorts through which they can develop their own special abilities. Each of them start with a base skill that they can later improve, in addition to learning new ones. For example, Mario has a passive ability which enables him to automatically fire at an enemy if they enter his field of vision during the enemy’s turn. Some of these powers are common across multiple characters, but the unique ones like Peach’s powerful ability to inflate enemies using a foot pump until they explode adds a layer of strategy to the game. Players will have to take care when considering where to place each character.

If its in-development prototypes are any indication, Mario + Rabbids is set to offer a decent amount of content outside of its 20 or so hour long campaign. Sources recall seeing indications that an online suite was being tested several months back, although this mode was inaccessible in the aforementioned test builds. At the very least, we know the final game is set to offer 2 player co-op locally in some capacity. An additional mode named ‘Arena’ was spotted in the test UI, too, which promised some local co-op action.

[drave]

It'll be a hit. It is a weird ass crossover for sure, but it'll be humorous and fun and people will LOVE that.

Feel like they are about 4 years behind the Rabbid craze tho.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It sounds like because UbiSoft have free reign to do something with Mario, they want to relaunch Rabbids. I mean, they're basically Minions and they were out before Minions and look how they're doing.

[Emperor Smeat]

I bet Nintendo being lax with the Mario control is also Nintendo's way of trying to mend fences with Ubisoft after losing a lot of support from them during the Wii U era.

Losing them was a bigger blow than EA (and Activision) for major 3rd party support when Ubisoft pulled support baring the Just Dance series.

[road doggy dogg]

I hate the idea of this Mario/Rabbids crossover. It just makes the Mario IP feel more and more like a lazy Disney crew. If the gameplay is good though then whatever

[Emperor Smeat]

Super Mario Odyssey currently rumored to be arriving this November according to a report from the Financial Times. Same report also made mentions about Nintendo ramping up Switch production to hit their 18 million target before the end of the fiscal year.

Now coming in 2018

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yo, they changed the Virtual Console thing too. Now it's a selection of games that never expire with online play. Like a (probably small) Netflix for old games.

Doubt everything they have will be available, but even a selection is nice.

[Emperor Smeat]

The original monthly plan of only 1 classic game per month with online play did seem really dumb. Them now going with a Netflix route or just letting the games stay available is a much easier way and less work for the long run.

IGN had some more stuff about the games themselves with only NES for launch and SNES likely next but at a much later time. Similar to PS+ and Xbox One's Live, need an active account in order to keep playing the games.

Does the compilation of classic games include Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games?

At launch, the classic game library will include NES games. Super NES games continue to be under consideration, but we have nothing further to announce at this time.


Are the Classic Game Selection compilation titles yours to keep as long as you're subscribed to Nintendo Online? Do you lose access to these games if you unsubscribe?

The Nintendo Switch Online collection of classic games is available only to users with an active subscription

[Ruien]

20 is cheap for a year.

Waiting to be able to download Netflix also on the Switch so I can stop using my XBox too.

[road doggy dogg]

Thank fucking Christ. This is awesome news.

[road doggy dogg]

Twintelle playable in this weekend's Test Punch. BOOTY TIME

[#BROKEN Hasney]

She should stretch out each individual cheek rather than her hair.

[Ruien]

What other games besides Zelda is there? Bought NBA Playground which is really fun. Thinking of getting Shovel Knight and that Final Fantasy Tactics game. Not sure if I will want to play such a slow type of.game like Tatics anymore though.

[road doggy dogg]

Disgaea 5 (the Tactics game) is incredibly. Really hamfisted story but the gameplay carries the game. Very grindy though, not for everyone. If you're already having reservations about that kind of game, I'd steer clear tbh.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is obviously the goods, if you don't already have it on Wii U.

Lego City Undercover is fun if you like the Lego type games. It seems very poorly optimized on the console though, the framerate dips really kind of killed the game for me. If that's not a big issue for you, could be a good purchase.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is great fun if you like Tetris. I'm not sure if the demo is still available now that the full game is released, but I highly recommend trying out the demo if you can. tbh I kind of regret buying the full game and would be fine with just having the demo.

Minecraft is great if you like that type of game, and/or don't already own it on one of the other numerous platforms it's available on. It's definitely one of those "you get what you put into it" type of games, so YMMV



I'm really excited for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero to come out this week as well. It's a fun platformer/Metroidvania type series being ported in, if that's your jam. The games are easier than Shovel Knight, which can be frustrating at times

[road doggy dogg]

I've heard good things about Thumper but that isn't really my jam so I haven't tried it out

[road doggy dogg]

I'm not gonna lie, I was going over a mental list of games to try and recommend, and I do have to admit that the criticisms of the Switch having a lacking library are not unfounded (holy double-negative).

A lot of the current offerings aside from Zelda are pretty niche. In Nintendo's defence, the 3DS started off really slow, as did the PS4 if you recall. Doesn't make it any easier to swallow, of course, but there are some big titles coming on the horizon. Plus E3 this week.


My biggest gripe is that even the games that I am mildly interested in just seem so overpriced. Would I play a 20-year old port of Street Fighter II with VIOLENT KEN? Sure, why not. For $40? Fuck no. Super Bomberman R seems like it would be a hoot, but not for $60.

That all said, I am fully in love with the console, but there are definitely legitimate criticisms with the lack of library still. I totally have faith that within a year it will boast some impressive titles though.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I think the library is looking pretty great. I got a PS4 at launch too and I was hunting around for games that I didn't already have on 360. I've just gone back to the list and it basically only had Infamous: Second Son and that was 5 months later.

The fact we still have ARMS, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade and Mario by the end of the year is bananas.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Pokemon Direct in 24 hours. That rumoured STARS actually happening? Or more mobile bollocks?

8 minutes long

[road doggy dogg]

God I hope they don't cocktease us and talk about like, Magikarp Jump coming to 3DS or something

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They should do the whole presentation around "Magikarp is jumping to Nintendo Switch" and then do a lengthy explanation of how the game works.

Then just end it with "And this will be free to all Nintendo Switch owners who purchase the upcoming Pokemon: Stars for Nintendo Switch, out tomorrow" and then say nothing more. Just shadowdrop that shit.

[road doggy dogg]

Just when you though the Monster Hunter announcement was going to do wonders for the Switch scarcity...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Eh, in Japan. Still hard to get people to give a shit over here. BUt yeah, Pokemon...

I think this will only be small thing. Surely if they had Stars, they'd just wait for E3 at this point?

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah, I can't imagine it being a super big bombshell announcement. God I hope I'm wrong though.

[road doggy dogg]

Thinking about it, it could be talking about Pokken for Switch, which was rumored about a week ago

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Pokken would be sweet. Hope my Wii U USB controllers work on it

[Ruien]

Switch lacks games but in time there will be more than enough. ARMS looks like a game I will never get tired of like Overwatch. Really excited for it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Being dragged into a meeting when the Pokemon Direct is now, so I hope it's a fucking art book announced out of spite.

[road doggy dogg]

I honestly have no idea what to expect. Part of me thinks it's gonna be some shitty Magikarp Jump shit or something equally useless, but these guys are not above making a huge announcement a week before E3. If they announce any type of mainline game (the rumoured "Stars" game, gen 4 remakes, or anything similar that people have been clamouring for), I will fucking die. This morning will be so slow.

[Ruien]

RDD so wants Magikarp Jump to happen but is afraid to show it.

[road doggy dogg]

If they announce Magikarp Jump for the Switch I'll probably buy it because I'm a whore.

Well, Moon and Sun did sell the 3DS out and have the highest sales since the launch of the console, so yes?

I get that the old games did. But who is really buying a 3DS that does not already have one?

[road doggy dogg]

I'm as diehard a Pokemon fan as anyone and I have literally zero intention of getting Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon on the 3DS

Have it come out for the Switch and then we'll talk

supposedly the Pokemon Company's website had this shown on there

In other, actual positive news:

Sign-ups for an early-access Mario Odyssey thing in Canada next week... seems good. Mississauga and Burnaby, BC seem like weird spots but hey I'm close to Mississauga so no complaints here

[road doggy dogg]

(trying to talk myself into this)

If they launch the Ultra Sun/Moon thing with the N2DSXL as a bundle, and the game includes some slight improvements (NATIONAL DEX PLEASE) and some improved framerates, I could see myself getting suckered in. That's a very precise and specific list of "ifs" though.

Alternately, if they'd just fuck off with the whole thing and announce "lol jk coming out on Switch as well" I will gladly drop $60 apiece on both Sun and Moon

Splatoon 2 themed Pro Controller got confirmed to be arriving for North America. Previously was only announced for Japan.

The special-edition controller releases on July 21, the same day Splatoon 2 launches worldwide.

[road doggy dogg]

I'm super jazzed about all of the E3 announcements. This year and next year are looking very strong for the system.

Obviously the major concern was going to be a lack of third-party support for the system. I think there have been some great steps taken in the right direction at E3. Rocket League, a more-complete-looking Fifa 18, Skyrim with amiibo/motion support, Rabbids... lots of outside support for games. Hopefully the system keeps selling well and more publishers/developers see it as a legitimate platform for them to release games on


Stupid me, getting so caught up in the E3 hype... prolly gonna buy ARMS this week and get a set of yellow Joy Cons too because who needs to save for a house

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Probs going to get more 3rd party too as the console gets more success. They were waiting and seeing and while they did that, Konami made a stack of cash on a $60 Bomberman in 2017.

Guy who said that 2 Metroid games and Kirby in the Nintendo E3 thing is doubling down on Blizzard and saying it's a matter of time.

[road doggy dogg]

It does make sense, if both sides can pull it off. Blizzard is Activision, after all, who aren't exactly strangers to Nintendo (well, except for recently)

[#BROKEN Hasney]

[Emperor Smeat]

The Minecraft thing going cross play with everyone else is weird, You have to login with XBox Live and they allowed this.

Figured they would have at least used Mojang's account system for non-Xbox systems. Nintendo probably doesn't care either way since the most important thing for them is having the game after being the only major platform provider to not have it for years.

Same for Rocket League since the developer is pushing for cross-platform play and Nintendo wanting to mitigate another Minecraft situation from happening again.

Only loser for both is Sony since they refused cross-platform play and pulled a Nintendo with their reasons.
