Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

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.

@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 😆

@Ralizah Wow even if it was just for the music it was really worth the wait. I just got the Platinum for that game and man the music was terrible terrible terrible.

For me the stunner was Astral Chain. So Beautiful O_O After 140 hours of Akira Toriyama I need something cool in my life. And this is it.

I also love how new and different Fire Emblem looks!

And I LOVE Link's Awakening but I am not sure that style is my cup of tea...

Link's Awakening is my favourite Zelda but thia art style is way bland...

The Direct spoiled IGA, Bloodstained is coming this summer!!!

@Feena Yeah, and this isn't even taking into account big hitters like Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and whatnot.

It's kind of funny. Mario Maker was huge on Wii U, but the sequel announcement seems to be getting lost in the excitement today.

And yeah, Astral Chain looks awesome. Like Monolith Soft and Platinum had a baby! <3

@Kidfried Couldn't disagree more. Looks more like Kirby's Rainbow Curse or Yoshi's Crafted World to me. It looks like the world is made of clay. Not bland at all. Some people definitely don't like the style, but I'm digging it. Although the problem remains that the original is one of my least favorite Zelda games.

Oh, and Tokyo RPG Factory's Onikaki looks... pretty decent, actually. I avoided their other two games, but this one seems fun.
