Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

I played through all the story content in HWDE, but gave up the adventure mode thing after I cleared the first map (while I'm interested in extra costumes & the like, I'm not going to grind through it a couple hundred hours just to unlock them).

Still, it was a pretty fun time & I look forward to this one.

@RR529 I forgot Hyrule Warriors came to Switch, that’s another Wii U port! I have both the Wii U and 3DS versions and played hundreds of hours between them.

It's kind of fun how Breath of the Wild is becoming its own subseries. There will be at least three big games set in that timeline.

I kind of like how Nintendo seems to be doing weekly info bombs lately.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Indie World August, Partner Showcase August, Mario 35th Direct, and now Hyrule Warriors 2 have all been back to back to back I think?

I wonder how long they can keep this up? Probably another Partner Showcase this month if it is indeed a monthly feature. Maybe a Pokemon Direct detailing new info about Crown Tundra DLC & updates on New Pokemon Snap & Detective Pikachu? Maybe an in depth Smash trailer revealing the next fighter?

@Ralizah @nessisonett @RR529 I'm having trouble finding a physical copy of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition...should I settle for digital or will Nintendo eventually reprint more physical copies?

@KidBoruto I honestly forgot it was on Switch. I own it on both Wii U and 3DS. With anything though, if I can’t get it physically I’ll just go for digital. Better to play the game at all than miss out.

@KidBoruto Nobody knows. Lots of games are seeing shortages right now, and it's perfectly possible that Nintendo could reprint them. But it's perfectly possible that the physical prices could keep going up and up as well.

At the end of the day, you have to decide how important having a physical collection is to you.

I'll also say that you should maybe prowl ebay for a while. I've found some amazing deals on games with usually sky-high secondary market prices.

@KidBoruto In the UK we have second hand sites like CEX who always have copies somewhere so maybe there’s a US equivalent.

Just completed DMC2's story mode with Dante. I'll try to complete a Lucia run before 3D All Stars arrives, but I'm not going to rush it.

@nessisonett @Ralizah False alarm, turns out I already own a physical copy. Completely slipped my mind I already owned it haha XD.

Now to try and hunt down a physical copy of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which I definitely don't own.

Disgaea 6
Monster Hunter Rise
Monster Hunter Stories 2
Rune Factory 5 was shown off and looks awesome
Oh, and a port of Ori and the Will of the Wisps, too

Really, really good presentation.

Not bad at all. Monster Hunter looks a little spin-offy for my tastes but glad there’s a trailer for Rune Factory 5.

@nessisonett I'm impressed. It looks like a gorgeous portable answer to World. And the movement looks really fun.

@Ralizah I really worry that the direction they’re taking it in will remove a lot of the depth that I love the series for. World already did that to an extent.

Wow, apparently Disgaea 6 is an exclusive? Big get. I know NIS is in love with the Switch, but making a formerly Playstation-exclusive property Nintendo-exclusive is a pretty bold move. Just how well are these games selling on Switch?

Well, I guess it's not like a Disgaea 6 Complete can't launch on PS5 a year or two later.

@Ralizah Same exact thing happened with Monster Hunter too in fact considering the series started on I think the PS2 and got a crap ton of entries on PS3 and PSP before jumping ship to the Wii for Monster Hunter Tri

Just got my copy of 3D All-Stars. About to start Mario Sunshine for the first time since I bought it on the GameCube.

@TheFrenchiestFry Ambitious PS6 Disgaea game in 2031 confirmed.

@SoulChimera Lucky dog. I don't even know if my copy is going to ship out.

However I end up getting it, I think either 64 or Galaxy will be first. I played Sunshine a few years ago, so I can wait a bit to revisit it.

@Ralizah Coming Winter 2014 for PlayStation 3.

@Ralizah Argh. Arrogant Nintendo paying third parties to keep their games off other systems again
