GAF's Nintendo Discussion, News, and Speculation |OT|

I had a standard Switch (Neon Blue/Red Joy-Cons), and I didn't even unpack the Dock because I wanted to use it as a handheld right from the start. It never sat well with me that I had to charge Joy-Cons, as well as their batteries' additional weight.

Now I have the turquoise Switch Lite.

I saw these and I thought about it, how much bulkiness does it add to the switch? One of the reasons I like my lite is because its more compact for handheld.

Well I'm type of person who values comfortability over being more portable, so I would say it makes handled mode less portable but in my opinion feels much better to play.

What joy cons do ya'll use? I use my switch lite handheld but I have the Splatoon color joycons attached to my switch. I have to admit I wasn't impressed when they were announced but I am liking these more.

I would love to be able to go into a store on the highstreet and buy a pair of purple like the left but with the right purple also, without having to resort to buying that set above & then try to import the japanese Nintendo store exclusive reverse set.

And other colours too like Clear Purple, Clear Blue, Clear Red etc, just tons more colours & I would buy extra Joycons for no sane reason other than having more colour choices, also without resorting to stickers nor shell replacement, just simple straightforward joycons im all in, Nintendo wants my Money? Give me all the colours, in a pairs and continue sets like these too of course for those that want them.

Is that a thing only I'd want? or is everyone else good with what we got colour choice wise? I am very surprised on lack of these sets although there's plenty of colours out there I just feel like there could be so many more.

Side note after stepping into the XSX and PS5 thread for a moment I am happy our Nintendo thread is so calm and peaceful. Those guys are going at each other like animals lol.

It's new hardware time. Everyone goes nuts around new hardware time. Nintendo's turn will come around again, and the hopeful, the pessimists, the haters, and the faithful will clash once again.

Warz, warz never changes. =P
 
Red and Blue Joycon with a Satisfye Grip

I'm liking it. I was ok with just the joy cons but this is now just a new Game Gear to me.

I will get at least another set of joy cons at some point. I have an 8bitdo SN30 that I just synced up and will try out at some point.

So... Direct announcement today? Or are we doomed until March?

Brap told me that he thinks March. Then he asked me to play some Splatoon 2 with him. I suggested we play Call of Duty instead, but he insisted that he only wants to play on his Switch. True story.

He also told me to say hi and that he loves Mista and wants to be Switch friends with him.
 
The space adventure Journey to the savage planet has been listed for a physical release on various outlets on the Internet. The placeholder date says June 30th.

June 31st for me...

i.e. NEVER! Won't be buying this game due to the offensive, disrespectful nature of the title of the game 🤮

/s has the title been confirmed for Switch? Looks pretty good

You would be a great book writer. No he doesn't 😂
 
Metro Redux scored 9/10 at Nintendo Life. I'm so stoked for this. Normally I'm not to keen on FPS but when it's done like this, with survival horror elements and atmosphere and story at the center of it, it's so much better than being an average run of the mill shooter. First person view can be great, like Alien Isolation, RE 7 or Metroid Prime, but if it's like CoD or BF or Doom, I'll pass. Release for Metro is on Friday so the weekend is saved.
 
What the heck this thread stopped giving me notifications.

I saw that I almost cancelled my pre-order this morning because my backlog is so big, but after seeing the praised and the DF video I need to keep it. lol

Yeah I'm gonna pick it up as well
Only 50$ in Canada which is cheaper than most of these ports

Plus it looks fantastic on the switch

Yeah, backlog is growing rapidly. So many good games coming out constantly. I also haven't owned a Nintendo console since GC so I have lots of catch up to do with the whole Wii -era.

My buying schedule is booked for the moment. Got games all the way to summer.

March: Luigi's Mansion 3 & Tales of Vesperia
April: The Wonderful 101 & Tropical Freeze
May: Xenoblade Chronicles DE & Blasphemous
June: ??
 
On another note though this doesn't look good that we're going to get any big 1st party releases for April or May.

I highly doubt we'll get anything with Ninty doing less then 2 months marketing on a newly announced title. Typically they like to at least give a lead time of 4-5 months from announcement to release to do some marketing on the game.

I haven't played Splatoon 2 since the mandatory online pay sub and I have completely forgotten how to play it.

I strictly play ranked matches now, I almost gave up on Splatoon until someone was like hey you should try ranked and fell in love with it. The different game modes are a lot more fun to me than just turf war.
 
Switch Lite with the Nintendo Flip Cover is my new favorite iteration of Switch+case. Loving it. I just hope the screen is big enough for me to get the most out of Animal Crossing. If Nintendo weren't a bunch of morons, I'd be buying a regular Switch and just leave it docked and then transfer my AC town between my OG and Lite via cloud saves. But Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is out anyone try it yet?
I mean you get 6 games for $30 so seems like a good deal. Only problem is that I have probably over 20 Switch games I haven't played yet......help guys I can't stop buying Switch games!
ohhhhhh I see Metro Redux looks great.......halp! I can't stop!

Lol i was going to screens of my switch collection and purchasing habits but have refrained in fear of ridicule from the copious amounts of money i have spent.
 
Interesting that this Direct drought lines up with a year that will refresh Nintendo's two competitors with brand-new hardware.

I'm starting to wonder if the regular schedule is out the window so Nintendo can make an extra-large splash at E3. Perception is a big deal, and the first clash between all three consoles can and will stay in public memory for a long time (see the Xbox One) — you want to make that a positive impression for your system.

Of course, Sony is skipping, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them unveil at about the same time, at their own venue, and on their own terms.

Altogether, it may not make sense, this time, for Nintendo to spend ammunition wowing customers in the early year, when the real battle lies ahead.

I wanted to get this game for the Switch, but my OCD tells me to buy the PS4 version. I have every Mega Man collection for the PS4 lol.

Why not both ?
Im starting to realize the Switch is quickly starting to be my main source of gaming entertainment ( PC gaming a close second ) and with MS/SONY next gen right around the corner have lost a lot of interest for the PS4 or Xbox.
 
Tomorrow is Platinums next big reveal (out of the four they have teased).

Personally I hope that it is Okami 2, and that Kamiya didn't joke around when he said that it's coming back

What do you think it is?

That reminds me I still got to play Okami , I got the physical copy imported.
I'm dreaming for a Nier port.

That's exactly my thinking. I hope you're right, but at the same time wouldn't be surprised if you're not.

The last two years have been fairly lacklustre in contrast with the first year (BOTW, Splatoon, MK8DX, ARMS, Xeno 2, Odyssey - God it was good!). Since then we've seen a couple of big hitters, but also a lot of ports and B-tier stuff like Kirby and Yoshi, which are fine, but not the massive draws. Yes, we've had Smash and Pokemon, but neither of them are in-house.

I hope Nintendo have banked the shit out of 2020, when they know two big competitors-not-competitors are stepping up big time. I hope they go out all guns blazing this year and between now and the end of E3 we have a clear idea of some smash hits coming this Holiday and early next year. If they want to keep the momentum going, they have to deliver the goods. It's fine having evergreen titles, but now is the time for them to come out swinging.

Can I just say I am new to Anime and my boss recommended me Hunter X Hunter and I started it and I thought it was the dumbest show and it was childish about a kid and his fishing pole and almost gave up on it and he told me to keep going. Then I got to the point to where Killiua ripped out that dudes heart and my whole perspective on the show changed and I was hooked. Now it's probably In my top 3.

Sorry for the off topic. Yeah Nintendo don't make us go Omega Gon on you.

Scalebound being redone ditching the stupid multiplayer thing and focusing on being DMC with dragons.

I recently got an email from Nintendo to take a survey concerning Nintendo online service.
It asked how is the service, if I was treated unfairly, etc.
I know months ago I reported racisim in the lobby of Splatoon 2 but I haven't played in a while.
The other thing I mentioned was adding voice chat without the phone app to online.
If you have questions about the survey, just ask.
