[Megathread] Nintendo Switch

[CastletonSnob]

With the Switch, Nintendo fixed one of their biggest problems: Their lack of third party support.

You're really fixating on my first comment, aren't ya? Fine. The Wii U did have games. Happy now?
Doesn't matter either way. Considering barely anyone bought the fucking thing, it might as well have not had any games. It wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference.
Besides, I consider them all Switch games now because all of the good games on the Wii U now have enhanced ports or superior sequels.
Sure, the people that already owned them on Wii U or double dipped feel screwed. But that serves them right for foolishly buying a Wii U to begin with.

I double-dipped all of the WiiU games I could on Switch and don't really feel ripped off tbh.

Still waiting on the excellent 3D World, 101, Fatal Frame, and the two HD Zelda games.

Your right the Wii-U didn't have any games.....None At All...



(Still need to get a few more games for my collection)

Amiibo festival? why in gods name would you taint your Wii U with that monstrosity?

Probably cause it was so bad a lot of retailers put it on clearance for like $10 if I remember right lmao. At that price it was worth it for just the amiibos it came with if you wanted them.

I already retracted my previous statement about the Wii U not having any good games.
But again, because you clearly lack basic reading comprehension. Those good games didn't exactly entice people into buying a Wii U, did they?
You even said it yourself.



Exactly. ON. THE. SWITCH! Nobody wanted to buy the Wii U because it was an awful outdated gimmicky piece of shit!

Now just stop talking, because I'm sick of trying to hammer facts into your thick skull.

Before you try to goal post shift yet again lets remember what you originally said..

Also helps that the Switch actually has games while the Wii U was just an overpriced paperweight.

Which was proven false by both me and other people. You refuse to accept it and try to straw man in other arguments. The Wii U's problem was not it's game library, you claimed it was. You where wrong. So what facts are you talking about again? I would say accept defeat with grace but we are already long past that point.

I really hate having to repeat myself.

By all means. Continue to make yourself look like an absolute dyslexic fool. But I'm done talking to you.

Super Mario Maker 2 releasing on 6/28.

Wii U had no good games so I dunno why people want a sequel to one of them /s

Good release window since most of July is dry and late may/early june is stacked.

Cost me $2 brand new and came with both amiibo's so I said why not.

Just finished playing My Memory of Us on the Switch. Really good concept for a game. Its a puzzle game telling a story of 2 children living in Poland during WW2 (though replacing Nazi’s with robots). As you go through the game, you can find bonus memories that show you the real people you encounter in game and what role they played in the real war. Now I need to decide what to start next.

Its not surprising really. I mean look at the state of the xbones "killer apps" for the last like 2 years. Forza Horizon 4 is excellent, in my opinion it is the best exclusive on that console and i dont even like racing games, but state of decay 2? halo wars 2? crackdown 3? sea of thieves? every single one was a dud. There slightest reason you might have to buy one is for 4k but thats still very far from widespread and people by and large don't seem to care outside the hardcore enthusiast.

I mean i own every console this gen and my switch and ps4 get use constantly like every single day. I turn on my xbone once every two months tops. Its basically a box to play the MCC and my original xbox games my 360 doesn't. Its use is to play none xbone games because its library is hot garbage ranging from shallow gimmicks to gears of war 4 style "it happened....again?!?" desperation to keep putting out some brands to make the console look more than a 3rd party box.

Like look at stuff like Mario Kart 8D, Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Smash and pokemon on one side and on the other Bloodborne, Horizon, Spiderman, God of War and stuff like Death Stranding and the Last of Us 2 on the other. There are reasons people who don't own a switch or ps4 might go 'well the price is dropping and the library is looking pretty good right now' and who that doesn't already own an xbone is going 'boy... that power of the cloud thing is gonna happen any day now, better jump in for that and minecraft hololens!'? Odds are not many.

And most of those games are on PC too.. Which is where I bought Forza Horizon 4.

Persona Scramble ( aka persona musou) announced for PS4/Switch

[Poppincaps]

HAHAHA damn well I guess people were partially right that Person 5 S would be the Switch version. Just not the version they wanted.

Cost me $2 brand new and came with both amiibo's so I said why not.

as long as it was never put in your Wii U i can let it pass for the amiibos.

I don't see how the Switch's third party support is any better than the Wii U's. It's not getting the big games, like CoD, Madden, KHIII, and RDR2. I don't see how getting a bunch of last gen ports and indie games that nobody but hipsters care about means the Switch has better third party support.

Big games.

Like....Madden.


Alright then.
You named 4 games though.

The Switch is getting far better support than the Wii U did for 3rd party.
I mean, there was a new 3rd party game literally just posted 3 posts before you.

Like it or not, Madden sells. There are people who buy a console just for Madden.

[Jester Joe]

Like it or not, Madden sells.

So?

I'm more shocked that you included it as if it was some "end all" game.

Console doesn't even have Madden, 2/10.
