Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

@KratosMD don’t you have enough else to play? And I don’t see how Nintendo are obligated to do anything to be honest. I don’t mean to come across as rude here, it’s just part of the development process. Sometimes you go back to the drawing board, it’s normal.

@Octane and we can hope it is BOTW all over again, because that turned out brilliantly.

@KratosMD yeah, so I like video games a lot, but I have bigger fish to fry. So no, I don’t feel sorry for someone who bought a Switch to play a game, and now they’ll have to wait longer. FF7 is my favourite game ever. It’ll probably be a PS5 game at this rate. Couldn’t care less if I’m honest.

@KratosMD so people either need to agree with you or not engage. Interesting. I’ll leave it anyway since I don’t want to aggravate you. Have a good weekend.

Remember when Capcom completely canned Resident Evil 4...twice?

We got DMC and Onimusha out of that. Enjoy.

@kyleforrester87 Naw mate, worst Zelda ever. Well..., maybe after Skyward Sword.

@Frigate Same here. I do use it occasionally, about once a month when I stay at my parents. Hopefully Nintendo will release some kind of remaster as I've never played any of the Prime games.

@Octane

I do wonder why people buy a system for one game and then brag about how much dust its gathering.

Sounds like y'all need financial advice...

@kyleforrester87 You can't deny the truth.

@Knuckles-Fajita I don't think anyone was bragging about anything, just simply saying how it is. My finances are fine, better then they have ever been, I don't need any advice and I'll spend it on what I want. My PS4 is my main system, unfortunately there has not been a enough to make me wanna play the Switch a great deal.

@Frigate Holy crap. 60 hours a week, that's insane.

@Knuckles-Fajita The cost of the switch is pretty negligible so doesn’t really matter if I only need it for 3 exclusive games. In my view both Super Mario Odyssey or Smash Bros Ultimate are good enough to justify the cost of the system on their own.

32m units sold. Now within 10m of the Xbox One. Smash sold 12m in a minth beckming what we can only assume (unless Spiderman sold 3m in December) the best selling exclusive of 2018.

Id have put money on Spiderman.

Anyway, forecasts are down to 17m

Bought Fishing Star World Tour last night (first Switch purchase since Smash in December).

It's very arcadey with a nice "pick up & play" style, with a very vibrant, Nintendo-esque, art style that really pops on the device's screen, and it appears to have a nice amount of content as well (should last me awhile since I'll mostly be playing it here & there between sessions of bigger games). It's also getting me in the mood for Spring, which is nice.

So... the Direct. Dragon Quest XI S looks really close to the PS4 version, and includes the alternate 2D art-style from the 3DS version as a bonus. The remake of Link's Awakening looks adorable. An awesome-looking new Platinum game. Rune Factory 5 is officially a thing. Fire Emblem: Three Houses looks very different from other games in the series, but I'm digging the fantasy school theme. Bloodstained was confirmed for this year.

Also, several demos, and a free Tetris game.

REALLY GOOD Direct.

Dragon Quest XI S has fully orchestrated music, 3DS extra features, and new story content. They're even calling it the Definitive Edition. I'm SO glad I waited.

Wow that was awesome, this is gonna be a great year for Switch. Love the style of Links Awakening whilst Dragon Quest is looking great and has the 16 bit style included. Yoshi looks fantastic and FFVII and IX on the go with Mario Maker 2 in June.

Nintendo brought their A game with this one, just give me that Zelda now 😆
