Motion or traditional controls for you guys?
Think I'm getting a Switch for the family for Christmas. |
Traditional. Pro controler.
|
Motion all the way. For me, that's the entire point of a game like ARMS.
|
|
Tried ARMS with motion, but pro controller all the way.

The new Dragon Ball Z fighting game shown at E3 could end up also having a Switch version made if there is high enough demand online according to the producer of the game. Right now its only being developed for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Also wouldn't arrive at a much later date than the other platforms if it does end up being made.
https://www.destructoid.com/dragon-b...h-443566.phtml In other Dragon Ball related news, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was announced to be arriving on the Switch on September 7th for Japan and likely around the same date for other regions. https://www.destructoid.com/dragon-b...n-443593.phtml Nintendo recently released a chart of some of the major games arriving for the Switch (and 3DS) during the rest of this year. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thanks to all our fans for making <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/E32017?src=hash">#E32017</a> a great one!

Discord currently interested in working with Nintendo for the Switch's chat services. Right now they want fans to generate enough interest online in the idea so they can persuade Nintendo on a partnership being made.
https://www.destructoid.com/discord-...t-443812.phtml |
Why'd I buy Xenoverse 2 on Steam? Dumbass.
|
Saw this post on reddit.. it's in Japanese so w/e
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20170621102/ Apparently ARMS sold 100k copies in Japan in its first week (technically 3 days I think). Pretty impressive |
For reference, Tekken 7 sold about 76k
|
Tekken 7 sold less than that with 58,736. In fact, Arms debuted about the same as Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V's launches combined.
|
To be fair, Tekken 7 did spend a long time at the arcades before getting a home release so Namco already made a good chunk of money from it. Same can't be said for Street Fighter V though and think its still struggling to meet Capcom's expectations.
For a new IP, Nintendo probably is really happy with ARMS launch sales. |
The Pokken controller works now. Sweet.
|
Arms is super fun. Don't r3ally understand how to move (I use the motion controls) but whatever. Nice little sweat doing the grand prix.
|
Switch version of Namco Museum was announced to be including Pac-Man Vs.

Switch is currently rumored to contain an NES emulator according to console modders. Unlike with the Wii and Wii U, its embedded in the current firmware and not individual game based emulators like with the Virtual Console.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">According to modders who are working on the Switch right now, there is a NES Emulator embedded in the firmware codenamed "flog". <a href="https://t.co/HCUbiDGnG6">pic.twitter.com/HCUbiDGnG6</a></p>— Source Gaming (@AllSourceGaming) <a href="https://twitter.com/AllSourceGaming/status/883085036374851585">July 6, 2017</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |
The Switch phone app for voice chat is garbage. If your screen goes off, you get booted. If you pull down the GODDAMN NOTIFICATION SHADE, you get booted.
|
What is with with Nintendo and always fucking up various aspects of multiplayer?
:| |
More like fucking up various aspects of online multiplayer. Their couch multiplayer has always been solid.
|
I don't count couch co-op as multiplayer. That may sounds like a "STD level" of semantics to some folks, but I classify them differently.
|
Exactly they're different. One is multiplayer since it's been around longer so gets the defacto title and the other is online.
|
Switch is at 4.7 million
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is at 3.54 million Zelda BotW Switch is at 3.92 million ARMS is at 1.18 million |
According to Famitsu, Splatoon 2 sales are already a third of Splatoon 1's lifetime sales in Japan. Sold around 670k copies during the game's 1st three days and higher by several hundred thousands than the first game did during the same period.
https://www.destructoid.com/splatoon...s-451241.phtml Based on Nintendo's recent fiscal report, they are currently targeting a 2018 release date at the earliest for the new Pokemon RPG game for the Switch. Metroid Prime 4 is still at a TBA date for its release according to the same report. https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-...--451263.phtml Ubisoft announced a Switch version of Rayman Legends is arriving in September and has a few new things included.

Turns out Ultra Street Fighter II wasn't the ultimatum game from Capcom in order to determine future support. Capcom now states Monster Hunter XX has to sell well or else they'd reconsider future support for the console.
https://www.destructoid.com/monster-...d-452758.phtml |
Take Two announced they are planning on more support for the Switch besides NBA 2k18 and WWE 2k18.
https://www.destructoid.com/take-two...h-453393.phtml Nintendo is currently rumored to be working on up to 9 more character DLC packs for ARMS based on recent data mining of the game. https://www.destructoid.com/arms-lea...s-453380.phtml Recent Mayo vs Ketchup Splatfest for Splatoon 2 ended up with a 2-1 win for Mayo. Like with the first game, the current strategy with a lot of players is to deliberately avoid the popular choice in order to make their pool of players a lot more higher skilled than would normally occur. Makes it a lot easier to win Splatfests and/or rack up EXP points. https://www.destructoid.com/mayo-win...t-453253.phtml |

For those interested, Ubisoft recently released the demo for Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition on the Switch's eShop.

They want sales for FIFA 18 to be good or else will reconsider providing more games for the platform. Unlike Capcom, they've been a lot more hesitant at wanting to support the Switch and Nintendo in general regardless of an ultimatum game. https://www.destructoid.com/fifa-18-...h-454794.phtml |
Who the fuck wants to buy a FIFA game.

The fucking voice chat saga continues.
There's a LAN mode for local play for users all on the same router accessed by holding left on the left stick and L and R in a local play lobby. Someone who was playing like this had a mic on the headphones he was using connecting to the Switch and weirdly, his voice started coming through the other players Switch speakers. So the Switch can do voice chat, but put it behind an app because fuck knows why. |

Based on recent sales data, Switch has sold almost 1 million more consoles during its first 6 months than the PS4 did during its first 6 months in Japan.
Making things interesting is the only 1 week of the PS4's first 6 months was higher than the Switch's first 6 months. Quote:

Am i the only one playing Mario+Rabbids?

I grabbed it. Have not played it to much due to Pillars of Eternity coming out. It is super fun so far today.

No, but I bought the XCOM2 expansion, so playing that more and Yakuza Kiwami came out the same day, which I already finished along with Everybody's Golf and Windjammers, which I play in short bursts.

Its such an underused genre. There was one 2 gens ago by lucas art called galdius that i loved. Plus FF Tactics fire emblem and Disega. Tactical RPGS are the most under appreciated games :(

I've tried to get into Disgaea, Fire Emblem, Suikoden Tactics and Bahamut Lagoon but couldn't. The only tactical RPG I liked was Final Fantasy Tactics and maybe Hogs of War if that counts

Oh also Resonance of Fate which f*cking s*cked

What ablut CPRGs? Balders Gate, Dragon Age, Wasteland even the first two fallouts? Yay/nay?

Bunch of news:
* Minecraft's "Better Together" update meant to create cross-play support for all non-Playstation versions was released today except for the Switch due to last minute tech issues. Mojang currently targeting a Winter 2017 release for the update on the Switch. https://www.destructoid.com/minecraf...h-462309.phtml * Also in regards to Minecraft, Halo's Master Chief will end up making his first ever official appearance on a Nintendo platform via character skins. Previously the Halo pack was exclusive to Xbox and PC versions of the game but now will be available for all platforms as part of the "Better Together" update. https://www.destructoid.com/master-c...s-462079.phtml * NES game Golf was recently discovered to be hidden within the Switch's firmware and is playable after doing a series of steps. Its speculated the reason Nintendo include the game as an Easter Egg was as a small tribute to former Satoru Iwata since it was one of his earliest projects at the company. https://www.destructoid.com/the-hidd...a-462277.phtml Tweets speculating the possible meaning for the game's inclusion: https://imgur.com/R836VUq * Square Eniz is reported to be currently in talks with Epic Games in order to get Final Fantasy XV running on the Unreal engine for the Switch. Main reason is related to tech issues with their current Luminous Engine causing problems for the port. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-on-the-switch * Netflix app is currently rumored to be getting released very soon with just Nintendo's final approval needed. https://gonintendo.com/stories/29052...-is-locked-and |
Man if they bring Final Fantasy XV to the Switch and it's not the shitty ass mobile port that'd sell a lot.
Course Nintendo would have to have Switches for people to play but that's another wrinkle in the plan. |
According to Eurogamer, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is currently the highest selling 3rd party game for the Switch.
Only catch is digital sales are not included, not all regions/markets were included for sales, and sales for other big 3rd party games like Minecraft are not publicly known. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-nintendo-game https://www.destructoid.com/mario-ra...e-462525.phtml |
It looks like a very fun game.

I know nothing about the Switch Jon Snow!

The 4.0 update for Switch had things like 30 second video recording in select games documented, but not documented seems to be the USB support. USB headsets now work, as does the Wii U Gamecube pad adaptor.
Wonder if this means Smash announcement soon, or maybe Gamecube Virtual Console. |
So Mario is fucking incredible. The Waluigi amiibo unlocks an outfit and the first Bowser fight is the best boss battle in any Mario game ever.
Feels short in a way that Breath of the Wild does if you're not a completionist though. You can run through this game.... But there's 300 goddamn moons to get I believe. |
Im pumped for it. Will prob be the next game I start
|
I want to get this Switch because of Mario atm.. not sure tho. Also i'm super into just collecting.
|
After the first 21 reviews, Mario Odyssey has an average score of 99.
Bananas |
Man the game must suck then if it only got a 99.
Nintodoomed. |
It dropped to 98 after 45 reviews. Pure trash.
