I'm pretty sure the fact that MacBooks and now iPhones are forced to use dongles is kind of an industry joke.

That comparison is terrible. The Switch only needs an adapter for one quite niche function that only enhances something the console already has. A Macbook needs an adapter to read one of the most widely used flash storage solution around.

 

[Askherserenity]

LKD just tweeted that she expects the fighting stick to be at launch.

Sounds like something is lined up.

Yessss

 

[OmegaSmash]

Shonen Jump vs Capcom or don't even talk to me.

 

[Rodin]

Getting these.

 

[antonz]

My guess is Tekken 7.

Seems likely especially with Harada saying a release date would be announced at an event in January

I didn't make the comparison to MacBooks, the other poster did.

 

[MDave]

Hah, I guess Tekken 7 is a great example for the 2 player Joy-Con feature. Just the right number of buttons on each Joy-Con.

 

[adroit]

Turbo button? Blast Processing confirmed? 8D

 

[psyfi]

I always love how we clamor over little details like this leading up to big reveals. All we need are some crate pics from the live event show floor.

 

[Porcile]

Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 please gaming gods and goddesses

 

[Remapped88]

Shonen Jump vs Capcom or don't even talk to me.

Honestly one of my dream games.

 

[Plum]

I didn't make the comparison to MacBooks, the other poster did.

My argument still stands seeing as you're the one that implied their lack of ethernet is a big factor into them becoming a laughing stock when it really isn't. The comparison was dumb though, I can agree with that.

 

[Tom Nook]

Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 please gaming gods and goddesses

Yes please.

 

[Oregano]

Why does the third party controller need 4 buttons in the middle?

+, -, home and share?

 

[Baleoce]

It's silly, and I don't agree with people defending it, it should absolutely be natively capable of ethernet without the need of a peripheral. I'm going to go ahead and assume it's backwards compatible with the Wii U adapter at the very least. If it's not, well..

 

[Cleve]

My guess is Tekken 7.

This seems like the most logical choice. Would be cool to be able to play it on the go

 

[PsychBat!]

I still use my old Wii Ethernet adapter.

 

[PSqueak]

I hope the fight stick means there is at least one [traditiona] fighting game in development for it.

MVC: Infinite maybe? UMVC3 port? Tekken?

 

[BlastProcessing]

Probably because it's 2017.

Exactly. If it was 2007, you might have a point.

 

[Baleoce]

That's good then. I'm guessing it's not proprietary at all.

Tekken 7 is the likeliest one

Spoiler

but I want ASW to do a Fire Emblem fighter so badly.

 

[RootCause]

Getting these.

Those look ace. Damn shame Samus doesn't get the same love.

 

[Neoxon]

Yeah, it definitely sucks, but you can only power so many things from a USB-C port. I mean, there's always Thunderbolt 3, but that's Intel-specific.

 

[Graphics Horse]

+, -, home and share?

No it has - & + above the diamond pad.

I looked at a PS4 one and it has turbo and assign so probably that. (Do people seriously still use turbo buttons?)

 

[Kouriozan]

Laura confirmed it works.

 

[Papacheeks]

Isn't this pointless with a built-in kickstand? Unless it comes with a charger or something.

Imagine using this as a wacom or Cinteq.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 please gaming gods and goddesses

From your lips to Iwata-san ears, I'll even take a an HD 60FPS port of the Wii game (secretly the best fighting game last gen)

 

[Jaded Alyx]

That's good then. I'm guessing it's not proprietary at all.

Lol why would it be? It's just a regular USB adapter.

 

[Enduin]

Getting these.

The middle one comes with the screen protector and game case. So just get that one.

Wish they just sold the pouch as I don't want the game case and am rather indifferent to screen protectors.

 

[frankie_baby]

Exactly. If it was 2007, you might have a point.

Even back then everyone had wifi, seem to remember a statistic from early last gen that a higher percentage of Wii were connected online than 360 were as the the 360 didnt have wifi originally

Wait? The base doesn't have a fucking ethernet port? Or is the adapter part for the tablet part?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Lol why would it be? It's just a regular USB adapter.

Because we have to be negative about Nintendo and as pessimistic as possible when it comes to Nintendo.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

These accessories prove that I'm gonna have to sell a kidney before launch doesn't it ?

Don't forget about that BotW amiibo set.

 

[zewone]

No one loves wi-fi more than me, okay.

 

[diaspora]

ultra thicc

 

[thefro]

Tekken 7 has been obvious for a while but I think we'll see Arc System Works, Capcom, and WB fighting games as well in the first year.

 

[Oregano]

No it has - & + above the diamond pad.

I looked at a PS4 one and it has turbo and assign so probably that. (Do people seriously still use turbo buttons?)

Oh so it does, I somehow missed those!

 

[Mister Wolf]

The fightstick is for the long awaited Eternal Champions reboot.

 

[Air]

How many people buy Ethernet dongles for their MacBook? The point is Nintendo has tried to move away from wires since the GameCube (wavebird). Their consoles aren't laptops or PCs and they generally have kept their products as wireless as possible. There's no reason why they would backtrack on convenience. There's also the fact that if a power user wants it they can buy an adaptor, so the complaining is unnecessary and just for the sake of complaining

 

[Nosgotham]

Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 please gaming gods and goddesses

I would buy all the copies

 

[PSqueak]

Tekken 7 is the likeliest one

Maybe, then again, isn't the Xbone and physical releases of UMVC3 coincidentally some time around the time the Switch launches? it's still possible, no?

 

[Enduin]

Ohh shit they're bringing back the Turbo button.

 

[poodaddy]

If TvC gets an HD port to switch...

lmfao, glad I saw that. Great minds think alike friend . But let's be honest though, it isn't gonna happen brethren. At least we got Dolphin I guess..... but it just isn't the same.

Does the base come with ethernet port? If not wtf, it's 2017 no excuse what so ever.

 

[Kikorin]

I hope Injustice 2 will arrive on Switch, but Tekken 7 looks cool too.

 

[Samuraicop]

Shonen Jump vs Capcom or don't even talk to me.

I'd drop hella money for Naruto vs Jill Valentine

 

[Het_Nkik]

Wait? The base doesn't have a fucking ethernet port? Or is the adapter part for the tablet part?

No Nintendo console has ever come with a built in ethernet port.

Not agreeing with the decision, just saying it shouldn't even be a surprise at this point.

 

[Papacheeks]

No Nintendo console has ever come with a built in ethernet port.

I'm out of the loop because my last Nintendo console was the Gamecube, but why?

How is it so hard to understand lan line speeds are more consistent than wireless.

I work in IT and in 2017 this is fucking ludicrous.

 

[frankie_baby]

Its 2017, count yourself lucky sony/ms still bother to include them

 

[Plum]

"It's 2017" is an excuse. The vast majority don't use ethernet nowadays.
