[Megathread] Nintendo Switch

[Lahis]

The topic of multi region Pokémon game has been beaten to death in the Pokémon thread: Two regions could work if they make the first Region more linear than Johto so that the level curve doesn't end up as fucked up as it does in GSC and HGSS, but after two properly paced regions you would be hitting the upper limit of the level curve (even more so with modern Exp. Share) and subsequent regions wouldn't work anymore.

Now Nintendo send us all who bought the early versions out a fix kit....must include the foam.........

I'm one of the rare few that has no JoyCon issue. Just tested mine in tabletop mode, the left JoyCon worked well over 20 feet away, across two rooms.

The sporadic nature of the issue really makes it seem like that it has affected only some production batches/lines and not all of them. You either have it, or you don't. It's not likely to appear or disappear randomly.

Oh fuck gamestop (again)

The switches they said they were getting are just more of those rip off bundles.

Some stores got their switches on Monday and sold them early fucking everyone over who expected it to be today.

Seriously fuck gamestop

I think it's more likely that it affected most early production batches and there was no way for Nintendo to correct them without delaying the launch. It would make sense for my state to have a much later batch. Arkansas is a pretty rural state, so they likely stocked us last while trying to stock states that would have big sales (California, the entirety of the American northeast) as early and as much as possible. They probably hoped nobody would notice the issue if they had it, and to be honest, not having the issue is kind of wasted on me considering I'm using it exclusively as a handheld.

you know gamestops bundles wouldn't be so bad if they weren't obviously trying to get rid of the shitty switch stuff.

Hey here's a switch with 4 games but 2 of them are 1 2 switch and just dance 2017.

Like just do Zelda, isaac and a pro controller and I'd buy it (was gonna do that anyway) but nope.

A Borderlands,Diablo style game would be great on The Switch.

Generally top-down hack and slash games like diablo would fare well on the switch.

I really hope we'll see a decent amount of those games happen

Borderlands setting would be epic though.
Heck even alien swarm would be perfect for the switch.

-and go play super castlevania IV and Symphony of the night. Emulate if you have to, Castlevania is the grand daddy of so many games, Dark Souls for example has a lot of ocarina style Zelda in it but Demon's Souls is bascially 3D castlevania done right as well to say nothing of Bloodborne and its a must play franchise up there with Metal Gear, Zelda, Metroid and all the other all time classics. A series of Gothic Action Adventure games largely focussed around the belmont family over the centuries repeatedly putting down Dracula and his legion of demons and classic monsters. - Basically the Joestars of videogames only this DIO keeps coming back.

Also it has the best soundtracks this side of Final Fantasy to boot

Leaving out the best Castlevania (Bloodlines, III, and Rondo) games is a damn shame.

Not exactly beginner friendly though eh? especially Rondo of Blood.

Eh, sometimes you gotta learn the hard way. :P

Start em off with Castlevania 64! :P lol

TBF, it was the first big game of 1999 that I bought and played the shit out of. Flawed but still highly enjoyable IMO. Silent Hill was the 2nd.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Japanese website opened up. Plenty of screenshots and video for consumption.

MK8 looks really good in 1080p.

Also, love this old school art of the characters.

I wouldn't worry too much. After beating zelda I haven't touched the thing in the last 2 weeks. Wait for some more games.

Didn't you play triforce heroes? or are you some kind of cishet facist nazi pushing your gender binary narrative on a proud, pretty pretty princess like Link?

Pretty sure there's at least one episode of Game Theory about that.

He is certainly the prettiest princess of the five, none can deny that. He might be even prettier than the new Zelda

Splatoon 2 beta goes up for an hour in about 35 minutes, if anyone's interested.
