Nintendo locking basic game features behind amiibos. Preset loadouts for splatoon 2, hard mode and jukebox for metroid.
That's some konami level shade. |

Turns out Ultra Street Fighter II wasn't the ultimatum game from Capcom in order to determine future support. Capcom now states Monster Hunter XX has to sell well or else they'd reconsider future support for the console.

Take Two announced they are planning on more support for the Switch besides NBA 2k18 and WWE 2k18.
https://www.destructoid.com/take-two...h-453393.phtml Nintendo is currently rumored to be working on up to 9 more character DLC packs for ARMS based on recent data mining of the game. https://www.destructoid.com/arms-lea...s-453380.phtml Recent Mayo vs Ketchup Splatfest for Splatoon 2 ended up with a 2-1 win for Mayo. Like with the first game, the current strategy with a lot of players is to deliberately avoid the popular choice in order to make their pool of players a lot more higher skilled than would normally occur. Makes it a lot easier to win Splatfests and/or rack up EXP points. https://www.destructoid.com/mayo-win...t-453253.phtml |

For those interested, Ubisoft recently released the demo for Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition on the Switch's eShop.
https://www.destructoid.com/go-play-...h-454845.phtml Playtonic Games recently announced the Switch version of Yooka-Laylee is in the final stages of development although didn't give a tentative date for its release. https://www.destructoid.com/playtoni...s-454796.phtml Similar to Capcom, EA is holding an ultimatum for future Switch support. They want sales for FIFA 18 to be good or else will reconsider providing more games for the platform. Unlike Capcom, they've been a lot more hesitant at wanting to support the Switch and Nintendo in general regardless of an ultimatum game. https://www.destructoid.com/fifa-18-...h-454794.phtml |

The fucking voice chat saga continues.
There's a LAN mode for local play for users all on the same router accessed by holding left on the left stick and L and R in a local play lobby. Someone who was playing like this had a mic on the headphones he was using connecting to the Switch and weirdly, his voice started coming through the other players Switch speakers. So the Switch can do voice chat, but put it behind an app because fuck knows why. |

Based on recent sales data, Switch has sold almost 1 million more consoles during its first 6 months than the PS4 did during its first 6 months in Japan.
Making things interesting is the only 1 week of the PS4's first 6 months was higher than the Switch's first 6 months. Quote:

Its such an underused genre. There was one 2 gens ago by lucas art called galdius that i loved. Plus FF Tactics fire emblem and Disega. Tactical RPGS are the most under appreciated games

I've tried to get into Disgaea, Fire Emblem, Suikoden Tactics and Bahamut Lagoon but couldn't. The only tactical RPG I liked was Final Fantasy Tactics and maybe Hogs of War if that counts

That Octopath Traveller demo is great. If the full game can keep that up, we're in for something really special.

Man if they bring Final Fantasy XV to the Switch and it's not the shitty ass mobile port that'd sell a lot.
Course Nintendo would have to have Switches for people to play but that's another wrinkle in the plan. |
