Switch The Official Nintendo Switch|2 Thread - Part 2

Welp, didn't expect Smash. But awesome. I guess we know what the spotlight of E3 is going to be.

But awesome to see all the release dates announced. Tennis looking good.

I want that Octopath Traveler pop up book.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Dollars to donuts Crash is the big guest character in Smash this time around. Makes perfect sense.

 

[Sithborg]

The job system looks fun in Octopath.

 

[terry78]

Smash Bros, *****es.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, if Pokemon comes out this year also, well, that's year 2 to Nintendo.

 

[CB Fan]

I am still pleasantly surprised at how much support the 3ds is still getting its awesome. Also Smash for switch is awesome.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Yeah, if Pokemon comes out this year also, well, that's year 2 to Nintendo.

I'd say Pokemon is 2019. Smash for Holiday 2018 is huge on its own. It's possible we could see Metroid, or whatever Retro is working on pop up.

I would love that! Hopefully he's not as hard to control though as he was in his own game!

 

[terry78]

I'm glad someone else realizes this. That control scheme is not meant for platforming.

 

[Travesty]

Update 5.0 just dropped.

Looks like there will be a new Nindie's showcase next Tue. Which is cool, because the Switch is great for indie games.

 

[Travesty]

Most of the games on my Switch are indies. I spend a lot of time on them.

Speaking of, Enter the Gungeon is on sale right now. I picked it up, and it's a lot of fun. If you like Roguelike games, this is a great title. Check it out on YT or something to see if you're interested.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I just nabbed I Am Setsuna for $16. It was already on sale, but you can use your gold points on sale items which is awesome. Seeing as I was about to have a ton of points expire at the end of the month it seemed best to grab that game now.

Yeah, the Switch seems perfect for those smaller games. I think it also helps that Nintendo does a great job of advertising for them on the e-shop.

I imagine we will get plenty on No More Heroes, but it will be fun to see what other surprises there are.

 

[X Knight]

any more word yet on a Virtual Console?

 

[Matt Mortem]

Nope. Not even a whisper.

 

[X Knight]

^ ah, thanks.

 

[Lily Adler]

So Nintendo is updating the Switch hardware to avoid piracy. Yay.

But also for you Nintenerds:

[Sithborg]

I was kind of hoping for a bit more, but West of Loathing and Messenger looks good.

 

[Travesty]

Ah ****, I missed it. I'll have to check out the list of games later.

 

[Travesty]

Messenger looks amazing. A nice little Ninja Gaiden clone. I'll definitely be looking into that.

 

[Travesty]

There's quite a few indie titles on sale in the eShop that are worth checking out: Steam World Dig 1&2, Blossom Tales, Rocket League, etc.

Do you reckon there was a mistranslation about the risk of piracy because they saw everyone was talking about sea of thieves?
