Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

@Octane I didn't say it looked comfortable or reponsive, just said it's doable.

Anyway onto another subject concerning the Switch, I got a $20 eShop card for my birthday and need some suggestions on what to get. Just no multiplatform games like Stardew Valley or Axiom Verge as I already have them on PS4 and want something I don't have already.

@Tasuki Remember, this is Nintendo. Doable isn't enough, and would never release something like that.

FAST Racing NEO was pretty good on the Wii U. Don't know how much FAST RMX is on the Switch though...

@Octane Is Fast RMX that much better?

@Tasuki I don't know, I haven't played it yet. But it's basically FAST Racing NEO + extra content. It depends on whether you've played Wii U version I guess.

@Octane I have it on Wii U and played it a few times, mostly with the guys from work.

If this is true about VC, so glad that i still have my Wii U then, but i would love Gamecube games on Virtual Console as well, sigh...
Nintendo should have released a remaster of Super Mario Sunshine on Wii U, just like they did with The Wind Waker.

@Tasuki FAST RMX is great. 1080p over 720p, new cars, 5 new tracks, all the tracks and DLC from RMX, and on top of that they just added 6 free new tracks in an update.

@BLP_Software Oh nice, will definitely pick that one up then at some point.

@Tasuki I see, well if you already played the Wii U version, the Switch version may be of less interest to you. What about Golf Story? It's exclusive, and it looks pretty good. I haven't played it yet, but I do plan on getting it some day. Mario Odyssey comes first though.

So, what little we've seen of SMT V looks great so far. Really anxious for a release window, though: this is, far and away, the game I'm most excited about on the platform.

Quick question regarding multiple users on the Switch. So I have a profile on the Switch and so does my son.

Is it like the PS4 where we can have our own save files on say Super Mario Odyssey or do we share save files and how do we switch profiles?

@Tasuki You have your own files

And you select your profile when you start a game.

Literally. Pick a game. Pick your user. Loads the relevant data. No logging in and out all the time. Just choose who you use on a game by game basis

The Switch handles user account switching so much better than the PS4.

Now if we could just get cloud saves...

Shin Megami Tensei V is coming to Nintendo Switch, looks like it will be exclusive.
I never played Shin Megami, looks like that Persona is a spinoff of SMT, right? I really loved Persona 5, one of the best games that i ever played it, now it's time to play SMT.

@PS_Nation One of the things I liked about Persona 5 is how it reintroduced some core SMT features that were lost in previous Persona games. Like more of a focus on unique dungeons, the use of guns in combat, and, of course, the most famous aspect of SMT: demon negotiations.

Persona is funny, stylish, and psychological whereas SMT is more dark, philosophical, and apocalyptic.

@Ralizah Awesome, i will probably really like it then, thanks for the info.

So... Gamecube controllers are now fully usable on the Switch as of the latest update. This bodes well for the re-emergence of the VC. Or at the very least an updated port of Smash 4.

@PS_Nation I'm a little disappointed that the PS2 SMT games weren't re-released on PS4. Nocturne and the Digital Devil Saga games would have been brilliant remasters.

Yeah Gamecube Controllers work but you need the Wii U adapter and it has to be the official one. I have been hearing from several places that the off brand ones wont work at all. This is great news, especially if you have the adapter and a few controllers laying around. I am just wonder if it works on all games or just a few or what.

A bit off topic compared to what some of you are discussing but I'm always looking to build up my friends list. Friend code is SW-0198-3768-6880.
