Official Thread The Switch Thread

^We got Music for Metroid Prime 4!

Anyway Zelda and the GORGEOUS Street Fighter is what I own.
Want some digital but am not sure If Nintendo fixed it?

Want more info on Zelda's DLC before buying.

So wait, SF can be gorgeous, but not a certain other game? :grin:

On topic, I can't believe how close Skyrim Switch looks compared to the other consoles. I may to have quadruple dip.
 
I'm two games away from having the same amount of games for the Switch as I did for the Wii U. And I will likely hit that number by the end of year one.

What games did you get? As it is my main issue at the moment of why I can't spend over 4000 Kroner for such a device. I already have Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. I want to like the Switch, I just need an excuse :(.

Zelda
Bomberman
Puyo Puyo Tetris
ARMS
 
Pretty good video. I've cued it up to the part where he's getting to the point.

 
Man does Mario look good in that video.

Have you seen the video where the player makes Mario die in 11 different ways? Stupid but amusing.

In one instance he jumped into a pool of water and stayed submerged until Mario drowned.

I hope they bring the Virtual Console over, and I hope it has access to Wii U titles (e.g., Wind Waker HD, Bayonetta 1/2, Xenoblade Chronicles). That would sell me.

The Switch’s Lack of Virtual Console is Still Concerning

"...what makes this delay so frustrating is Nintendo’s near radio silence regarding the possibility of Virtual Console on Switch."

"That’s always been the beauty of the Virtual Console. It’s a full library of classic titles that are reasonably priced and always available. The fear is that Nintendo may have just now figured out that their retro games can make more money over a longer period of time if they deliver them via new methods."

Yeah I'm worried about that as well.

Snes Classic is neat. But I need that stuff on my Switch.

I asked over at GAF ("If VC comes, will it include Wii U titles?"), and I was told by multiple people that the answer is no -- there is almost zero chance that VC will include Wii U titles. Nintendo is going to port them to the Switch and sell them that way.

So I guess VC isn't a big deal to me after all. I was mostly looking to that for Wii U titles, and it looks like VC (if it ever comes) won't include those.

That's fine -- I'd rather have improved versions anyhow. Mario Kart seems to have gotten a significant boost. Bayonetta 1 and 2 are rumored, as Wolf mentioned. I'd like to see Xenoblade X and Wind Waker HD get ported as well. I've heard good things about DK: Tropical Freeze, so maybe they'll bring that over. And whatever Mario game released on Wii U -- Galaxy, I guess.

Any idea on the stock situation? Splatoon 2 out next week so finally interested in picking one up. I see Gamestop has a bundle that I can order and says ships by July 21. Comes with ARMS, Has-Been Heroes, Pro controller, and a power adapter to charge without the dock. Price is $470 which seems about right for what you get.
 
I live in southern NJ and Switch's are in stock almost everywhere for quite awhile. What isn't in stock is the Neon color joycons that I've been wanting to buy as a 2nd pair. Been patiently waiting for the release of Splatoon 2.

I think the Switch is a biiiiiit easier to find right now. Not sure how set on ARMS you are, but this deal is okay. Also, you can charge the Switch without a dock already.
 
At least checking Best Buy, Gamestop, Target etc and trying to look at local stock it shows out of stock. Target says limited stock for my store. Might get bored later and take a look.
 
Checked Target and Best Buy yesterday and didn't see anything. Not sure on how other consoles fared but seems odd almost 4 months later, especially in the late spring/summer, and still not easily available.
 
Might check local stores then to see if they would take pre-orders then. Don't work in town so can't sneak out when they open.
