I was listening to a podcast and they said that the monthly rental VC game could be a good thing. With online play being added, it means that there will be a community around that game for the month as you can't just throw it on a backlog.
I kind of agree as long as it's games that aren't total classics. But if they start giving out Mario Kart, I'll miss it when it's gone. |

I think they will throw out classics time to time because it is only for a month.

That actually is a great point. More people will play it during that month, rather than let it sit in their backlog forever and never be touched until they eventually decide to play it then complain that there's nobody online to play with, a la every game on Steam ever

Splatoon developers currently considering adding a Miiverse-like system for the sequel due to Miiverse itself getting dropped for the Switch.
https://www.destructoid.com/splatoon...d-417064.phtml Nintendo announced Breath of the Wild recently went "gold" and held a party to celebrate the occasion. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/loo.../1100-6447574/ |

For those interested in the Switch version of The Binding of Issac, the developer revealed everything included with the game. $40 for those wondering about the price.
![]() http://bindingofisaac.com/post/15689...s-in-the-box-1 According to Konami, the reason why they numbered the newest game with an "R" for Super Bomberman R is meant to be a throwback to classic era Bomberman and gaming. Quote:

Hinted at other controllers possibly being used though. Keeping hold of that Wii U Pro controller... And Pokken controller.

If I was still with my ex I would get it for her. She always pestered me about having a baby. Would have been hilarious to text her saying let's have a baby tonight only for her to come home to the game.
Fuck, I wish I was dating her now to buy this. |

£17.99 for DLC on the Switch? Weird they didn't charge £50 for it.

Media related support and services like Netflix rumored to be arriving some point after launch based on wording for some of the Switch's features. Also mobile devices rumored to be not the only way to use certain features.
Comes from some wording by Nintendo for certain features that imply more than previously announced. Quote:

Can't believe there is still no news on so many things just days from launch.
Not even a word about the virtual console, which I really thought would be vital with so few launch titles. |

They don't want people to throw a hissy fit when they realise that games aren't transferable from other systems. They're still in denial now.

Honestly, I just want to know that there will be one at launch now. Those are the games I imagine myself playing on the go. That was a massive reason why I preferred. I just assumed there would be one!

According to Nintendo, eShop purchases will now be 100% tied to accounts and not locked to consoles itself like with the Wii, DS, 3DS, and Wii U (which did both).

For those interested in getting a Pro Controller, don't need to rely on a button to sync controllers like with the Wii and Wii U and instead it auto-syncs when linked with a USB cable.
Joy Cons also follow a similar route for syncing when attached to the console itself. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwi...a_an_usbcable/ |

There's an event where YouTubers or whatever are being invited to and they play 1-2 Switch with John Cena.
Clearly going to be bigger than Wii now. |

Best comment I've seen is that Cena should have done promotion for the Wii U since neither of them sell.

Team Meat and Nicalis Studio announced The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ for the Switch got delayed out of the console's launch day to now a March 17th release date. Implied it was something related to production and/or certification issues beyond their control.
https://www.destructoid.com/the-bind...h-419993.phtml Square Enix announced the Switch version of Dragon Quest X is currently planned to be released later this year although no date was given beyond being between the start of Summer and end of Fall. https://www.destructoid.com/as-drago...r-419991.phtml For those getting the Switch, its currently possible to register your Switch gamertag/user ID for the console prior to its launch by way of Nintendo's account website. Can be the same as your Nintendo Network ID if you already have one or a new one since Nintendo treats them as separate names. https://www.destructoid.com/psa-you-...t-419900.phtml |

So the press have released their impressions, and it's mostly good. But the left JoyCon apparently loses sync fairly often with some, but not all, the press units.
There is a day 1 update they don't have yet, so hopefully that fixes it. Otherwise, if Nintendo says nothing, I may end up cancelling my pre-order. Don't want to bother with a hardware lottery. |

VC is disappointing cause I really enjoy going back and buying games I never tried or reliving classics, part of the pull of the console for me was having those games on the go. Obviously hardware problem is a massive issue and while the VC is not make or break, albeit very disappointing, any reason to think I may pay that much money for something faulty, would really make me think twice... |

The VC thing sucks but ultimately matters little to me personally. On my 3DS the only actual VC title I bought was Earthbound. I find it very hard to get super jazzed about games I already own on another console, or paying money for something that was released ~20 years ago.

It's probably a bluetooth issue, so very fixable in software. I hope that's right.

I've gone through and counted a lot of the previews and less than about 10% mention a dodgy joycon. Could just be their own interference. Also, no issues in Europe yet. Woo.
There's going to be a presentation on 28th Feb (Tuesday) to detail sone indie support. |

Metro are usually harsh on games and the Zelda embargo ends on the 1st March, but they added this: "We will risk a shuriken to the head from Nintendo’s ninja lawyers by saying that Zelda is everything you will have hoped for, and more, but we won’t be able to do a proper preview until tomorrow" |
