Oh shit, I didn't know that.Yep. Super Bomberman R has online play.
Still gonna wait for reviews to see how performance is, but damn does that look appealing.

Yeah, my biggest question is eshop currency as I have a couple unused eshop cards.
Doesn't sound specifically about vc when he mentions the details to come.
Those on GAF who bought the Switch and Zelda are going to do just that though. All this does is buy the time between now and Friday of next week. Not much to do in between then but speculate and request an answer for every single possible question we could have.Another thing is that GAF is a different beast than most consumers. Many people don't care about this stuff. They will buy it, get home and follow the on-screen prompts and get to playing Zelda and whatever other games they bought.
Point being, to us a pre lunch direct matters. To the majority of consumers it doesn't.
Super Bomberman R has online play. Just Dance 2017 also has access to its online library streaming service from day 1 (allegedly), though that's not the same thing.
Yep, there will be the Just Dance Unlimited service with an exclusive song and we also have an online co-op mode. (I work on the JD team...)
This system is just begging for a version of Diablo 3. BEGGING! Gimme that Diablo 3 mobile Blizzard!![]()
We need more hack n slash looters in general! Switch would be awesome for them.I PRAY Blizzard ports this game. I have at least 500 hours on the PS4 version. It is the perfect game for the Switch.

The thing that bugs me about the Virtual Console is that they haven't even bothered to say it won't be there at launch. I mean it's obvious it won't be since they've said bugger all about it and it wasn't there at launch for the 3DS and Wii U, but at least with those two console they actually said it wouldn't be there (3DS launched with no eShop at all and on Wii U the VC was added a few months later)VC is obviously not at launch so they will talk about it closer to whenever they launch it, mobile app we arent even sure when it launches, as for the online service thats not until fall plenty of time for them to give information out on plus nintendo confirmed from the start that we would get information about it sometime after launch.

And this was a mistake. Imagine all the reactions on gaf and youtube. You don't want to kill the hype.
I find it unbelievable that they couldn't have some first party Virtual Console games ready for launch. It just baffles the hell out of me. I get not launching with some robust library right away as well as third party titles due to licensing and shit, but there's no excuse for them to not have a few first party games ready. It would also help have more content at launch even if they're just old games.
Missed the H1.For me, aside from Zelda and MK8 Deluxe, the only two games I'm forward to on Switch in H1 2017 are:

These will both be digital only (AFAIK).

Not all that surprising when you realize the launch is being rushed. The software side is not ready at all. The hardware was finalized too late in the game so they didn't do much past the absolute minimum in software. This explains the barebone OS and the lack of streaming apps, a browser and, decidedly, VC. This is not to mention the full-scale NEX that won't launch for another 6 months. And of course the general lack of games.
This thing should have launched in Fall but it was decided that a soft launch of sorts would be better.

7. at this point it seems no vc at launch
8. streetpass was confirmed a no its gone
9. no i dont believe so
10. yes eshop cards will work
Don't trust any gaffer unless they have quotes from the source.Nintendo has come out and said eShop cards from Wii U will work? I have yet to see proof of this.

There's no explicit confirmation but there's pretty good evidence:Nintendo has come out and said eShop cards from Wii U will work? I have yet to see proof of this.
Reggie promised us info on VC and online before launch. Let's hope he keeps his promise.
Surprise Direct 24 hours prior to release

They're focused on selling consoles to Zelda fan slice of the market. Zelda has a release date. No other pros or cons matter to those people so what else is there to say?
They do, they just don't want to admit it. It's why you get people mansplaining that "this information is out there, you guys just aren't listening" and then they'll each post a slightly different list of "facts" that are apparently common knowledge yet somehow manage to differ between each poster.
At this point all I can say is this: Nobody buying at launch, nobody who's excusing this lack of information this close to launch gets to complain when this stuff finally hits. You made your bed, you made your excuses, you live with it, good or bad.
I'm pretty sure the days of Direct are done. Much like how there hasn't been a replacement for IwataAsks.
Yep. I reckon Nintendo is just concerned releasing this info early will result in some negative backlash online from us vocal minority here on GAF and elsewhere. Remember the bulky gamer headset comments to justify voice chat through your phone? Haven't heard anything about this since.Nintendo GAF keeps telling me Nintendo has time and they are gonna tell me all the shit I want/need to know like virtual console.
They told me this 6 weeks out. Then 4 weeks out. Now we are 10 days out.
Let's face it. We know what we know. The rest Nintendo either doesn't have figured out yet or doesn't want to talk about it.
Is what it is at this point.
