Nintendo Switch #2: 1 year later

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Well, ok, but that raises the question - why aren't they developing for Switch?

I mean, the demand is clearly there.

A number of developers have come forward and said their best sales are on the Switch.

If you put your game on Steam it's going to be buried in a mountain of garbage.

The Risk of Rain guys are focusing on making the sequel, but that being said I have a hard time imagining that they're doing anything but leaving money on the table for a Switch port given the success of the game on Steam.

 

[Pilky01]

I don't want Bad North buried on the bottom of the last page!



Cant wait for that. I can imagine wasting lots of hours with this 'rogue like, procedurally generated, tactics, tower defence' game.

West of Loathing seems to be the most hyped game coming out of the Nindie direct...

Big pricing error, but jump on it if you can.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Online realtors do usually reserve the right to cancel for mistaken price drops, just fyi. Don't be shocked if they don't honor those.

 

[syz]

Some people have already done in-store pickup orders and they've been honored, but I imagine it'll get fixed at some point.

I mean... I already have it for the WiiU, but for $15 I should get it for the Switch.

Never mind, they fixed it.

ARMS Global Test Punch is free this weekend

ARMS Global Test Punch is free this weekend

The game is also 30% off on the eshop for a limited time.

 

[Unholy]

It's a shame I couldn't get used to any of the control setups they had for ARMS. Haven't touched it since the second or third time I booted it up.

I've heard that's not legal and they have to honor pricing errors, but then I'm not a lawyer

Apparently an encrypted message was decoded as a new Donkey Kong game was being announced this year.......

April, and still no pre-order info for Octopath or Mario Tennis aces. geeze, amazon.ca

I'm half way through FE Fates: Conquest, and I have to say I am officially addicted. now to be fair, I play on normal/casual mode which is tough enough so i'm not sure if it would be worth it to me to go too back into the FE backlog and experience permadeath and crap like that, however conquest is really teaching me how to be more strategic etc, rather than "KILL THEM ALL"

makes me super excited for FE: Switch.

Awakening isn't too bad even with permadeath, though admittedly I only play on normal difficulty and grind like there's no tomorrow.

I wouldn't be shocked if they showed off the new FE game at E3.

We're not supposed to talk about such things on here but emulators have save states which can help a lot with that.

Haven't been able to play fates but for Fire Emblem I like the combination of casual+hard mode. For strategy JRPG's I grew up on Shining Force and the like so while I need a good challenge the concept of permadeath has never sat well with me in these games.

I just want this Yoshi game. Why is Nintendo hiding this? It was played at E3 LAST YEAR and we have heard literally nothing. Between Kirby and Mario Tennis, this game won't come out until at least the fall. If we hear anything, that is.

Yoshi seems to be like that after YWW went quiet for years. If it's not at E3 this year it's not coming out this year.

yoshi is always been weird with releases.

ugh i'm so bummed. i was actually winning an affordable (really affordable) Fates SE and i got sniped at the very last minute. doom. (i'm just gonna put the DLC on my system and call it a day)

 

[JWK]

Not sure how I missed this but day 1 purchase for me

 

[Pilky01]

Finally got a micro SD card for my Switch. 64 gb.

Feels good to have all my games downloaded again.

 

[Pilky01]

Can anyone here comment on Skies of Fury?

It loos so cool! But a $20+ port of a mobile game really makes me hesitate. It got a glowing review on Nintendo Life, but I feel like this is the perfect kind of game to wait on a sale for.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Classic Master System and Genesis games incoming:



And with that, it's probably safe to say that Virtual Console is no more.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Skies of Fury mention + Sega retro collection = me desperately wanting to replay Skies of Arcadia now.

Make it happen, Sega.

I hope Sakura Wars doesn't end up being a phone game like the new Wild Arms.
