I'm not buying this shit.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-08-2017 07:57 AM

Hinted at other controllers possibly being used though. Keeping hold of that Wii U Pro controller... And Pokken controller.

Quote:

Is Switch powerful enough to emulate Wii U games, or would they have to be ports, like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

We can take games and bring them and make them playable on Switch. So they can be remade for Switch, yes.

That said, Switch is not backward compatible with games designed for other systems, and is not currently compatible with controllers designed for other systems. Support for certain controllers may be considered for a future update. In some cases, games from past systems may be re-released for the Nintendo Switch system as either enhanced or original versions.

holy shit that baby game looks like the worst idea anyone has ever come up with

Ruien 02-08-2017 08:31 AM

If I was still with my ex I would get it for her. She always pestered me about having a baby. Would have been hilarious to text her saying let's have a baby tonight only for her to come home to the game.

Fuck, I wish I was dating her now to buy this.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-08-2017 08:32 AM

Well, not the total worst...

Is the answer 1?

March 24th-26th, they're doing Splatoon 2 test events

Ultra Street Fighter II was confirmed to include a first person mode called "Unleash! Ha-DO-ken"

Quote:

The announcement video for Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers showcased several seconds of a first-person mode with Ryu. It was a clear tease, and now we have some more information on what that mode actually entails by way of the game's official boxart (even though it still doesn't have a release date).

It's called "Unleash! Ha-DO-ken," and will use the Joy-Con remotes. It seems to be a timed minigame, and will involve blowing up Shadaloo grunts by making actual fireball motions with the controllers. This is something that would feel right at home in Tekken as an unlockable.

Starting when the game launches on 3rd March, players will be able to purchase an Expansion Pass for £17.99/€19.99, granting access to two new sets of downloadable content for the game when they become available later this year. Immediately upon pre-purchase or purchase of the Expansion Pass, three new Treasure Chests will appear in the game’s Great Plateau area. One of these Treasure Chests will contain a shirt with a Nintendo Switch logo which Link can wear during his adventure, exclusive to the Expansion Pass. The other two Treasure Chests will deliver useful items. The first content pack is scheduled to launch this summer and will include the addition of a Cave of Trials challenge, a new hard mode and a new feature for the in-game map. The second content pack will launch in Holiday 2017, and adds new challenges that will let players enjoy a new dungeon and a new original story. The Expansion Pass will be available for both the Nintendo Switch and Wii U versions of the game and are identical. Content packs cannot be purchased individually.

£17.99 for DLC on the Switch? Weird they didn't charge £50 for it.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-16-2017 04:20 PM

Switch UI looking damn snappy

https://vid.me/oQkO

From someone who got theirs shipped 2 weeks early somehow.

Emperor Smeat 02-16-2017 05:38 PM

Media related support and services like Netflix rumored to be arriving some point after launch based on wording for some of the Switch's features. Also mobile devices rumored to be not the only way to use certain features.

Comes from some wording by Nintendo for certain features that imply more than previously announced.
Quote:

Parental Controls: "Parental Controls can be used to restrict features of this console. Configure these on the console or using your smart device."

Sleep Mode: "Suspend Auto-Sleep While Playing Media Content: Prevents auto-sleep from activating while media content is playing. If this option is disabled, the console will still go to sleep after four hours of media playback."

Maluco 02-16-2017 07:31 PM

Can't believe there is still no news on so many things just days from launch.

Not even a word about the virtual console, which I really thought would be vital with so few launch titles.

The Rogerer 02-16-2017 07:50 PM

They don't want people to throw a hissy fit when they realise that games aren't transferable from other systems. They're still in denial now.

Maluco 02-16-2017 08:34 PM

Honestly, I just want to know that there will be one at launch now. Those are the games I imagine myself playing on the go. That was a massive reason why I preferred. I just assumed there would be one!

Emperor Smeat 02-17-2017 05:36 PM

According to Nintendo, eShop purchases will now be 100% tied to accounts and not locked to consoles itself like with the Wii, DS, 3DS, and Wii U (which did both).

Quote:

According to an FAQ that appears when attempting to format the system, "Your Nintendo Account contains your Nintendo eShop purchase history and current balance. By re-linking your Nintendo Account after initializing the console, it will be possible to redownload any software or DLC purchased using that account. (Software that has been discontinued may not be available to redownload in some cases.)"

For those interested in Disgaea 5, NIS announced it will be arriving on May 26th and includes all the DLC from the PS4 version.

Emperor Smeat 02-20-2017 05:26 PM

For those interested in getting a Pro Controller, don't need to rely on a button to sync controllers like with the Wii and Wii U and instead it auto-syncs when linked with a USB cable.

Joy Cons also follow a similar route for syncing when attached to the console itself.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-21-2017 09:57 AM

There's an event where YouTubers or whatever are being invited to and they play 1-2 Switch with John Cena.

Clearly going to be bigger than Wii now.

Kalyx triaD 02-21-2017 01:52 PM

But if 1-2 Switch is about looking in somebody eyes and shit how the hell you gonna play against a dude you can't see?

#BROKEN Hasney 02-21-2017 05:12 PM

Best comment I've seen is that Cena should have done promotion for the Wii U since neither of them sell.

Emperor Smeat 02-21-2017 05:38 PM

Team Meat and Nicalis Studio announced The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ for the Switch got delayed out of the console's launch day to now a March 17th release date. Implied it was something related to production and/or certification issues beyond their control.
https://www.destructoid.com/the-bind...h-419993.phtml


Square Enix announced the Switch version of Dragon Quest X is currently planned to be released later this year although no date was given beyond being between the start of Summer and end of Fall.
https://www.destructoid.com/as-drago...r-419991.phtml


For those getting the Switch, its currently possible to register your Switch gamertag/user ID for the console prior to its launch by way of Nintendo's account website. Can be the same as your Nintendo Network ID if you already have one or a new one since Nintendo treats them as separate names.

Well, uh, there's a reason there's been no Virtual Console news yet. It won't be there at launch.

That is terrible, so disappointing...

Fast RMX and Shovel Knight is good news though.

Love the virtual console though and loved the idea of having older games I enjoy on it from the start. Really hoping it will be weeks rather than months

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 10:38 AM

So the press have released their impressions, and it's mostly good. But the left JoyCon apparently loses sync fairly often with some, but not all, the press units.

There is a day 1 update they don't have yet, so hopefully that fixes it. Otherwise, if Nintendo says nothing, I may end up cancelling my pre-order. Don't want to bother with a hardware lottery.

road doggy dogg 02-23-2017 11:47 AM

The VC thing sucks but ultimately matters little to me personally. On my 3DS the only actual VC title I bought was Earthbound. I find it very hard to get super jazzed about games I already own on another console, or paying money for something that was released ~20 years ago.

That sounds like a bit of a disaster tbh, how likely is it that it is fixable with an update?

VC is disappointing cause I really enjoy going back and buying games I never tried or reliving classics, part of the pull of the console for me was having those games on the go.

Obviously hardware problem is a massive issue and while the VC is not make or break, albeit very disappointing, any reason to think I may pay that much money for something faulty, would really make me think twice...

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 12:44 PM

It's probably a bluetooth issue, so very fixable in software. I hope that's right.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 01:06 PM

I've gone through and counted a lot of the previews and less than about 10% mention a dodgy joycon. Could just be their own interference. Also, no issues in Europe yet. Woo.

There's going to be a presentation on 28th Feb (Tuesday) to detail sone indie support.

Poit 02-23-2017 01:23 PM

I was planning to go to the Switch preview event in San Francisco this Sunday... but then I found out it starts at 8 am. And the line starts forming at 6 am.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2017 03:32 PM

I want that pillow too.

Metro are usually harsh on games and the Zelda embargo ends on the 1st March, but they added this:

"We will risk a shuriken to the head from Nintendo’s ninja lawyers by saying that Zelda is everything you will have hoped for, and more, but we won’t be able to do a proper preview until tomorrow"

Most people that want to be transparent do. Although it's more common on Insgagram.

The Rogerer 02-23-2017 05:16 PM

You have to disclose that it's a paid endorsement. Otherwise he's just pretending he fucking loves the Switch
