The Japanese site makes it a little more clear that the monthly free game (games?) with the paid online service will change each month; that is, you'll lose access to the previous month's. Super lame.

So what's coming out at launch aside from Zelda?

1 2 Switch, which seems like a minigame collection party game thing designed for an easy gateway game for casual players

ARMS, a neat looking game where you run around an arena punching at the opponent with your extendable arms. Uses motion controls to punch, steer your punches, guard, etc. No idea how deep it is. Has multiplayer, described as being deeper than 1 2 Switch, probably more complex and not aimed directly at casual players as a party device/gateway game

This news is all real bad. I wanted them to knock it out of the park but the pricing, online stuff, and launch titles are disappointing.

Sincerely hope there's more to MK8: Deluxe then just Battle Mode and 3(?) new characters. Are the boy and girl inkling different characters or do you get a color/gender swap like the trailer kinda implied?

Also I totally hope that there's alternate musical tracks for each stage. Even if it's just a single new song per track.

It also adds the ability to carry 2 items at once and the Boo and feather items return. I don't think we'll get much more other that all that stuff and 1080p since the description page doesn't leave much ambiguity.

I'm sure it'll get DLC though if it does well though. It makes sense to turn the game into a platform since it'll probably be popular throughout the Switch's lifespan.

So Nintendo's latest and greatest innovative system will drop with one major game with the rest to follow 6+ months down the line. Thankfully the Wii-u is actually pretty great-/long after its release--with a ton of games to work through

This feels so familiar though...

Paid online service that probably won't even be improved upon? Did I read that right, the games are only free for that month? Aren't the games just VC poo poo like NES/SNES games? Maybe I'm the minority, while I enjoy nostalgia, I really don't care much for playint stupid hard SNES/NES games

Yea, and they already announced the first three (free trial?) games. Think it was two NES and one SNES game. All three were such poo poo that I've already forgotten all three. Wouldn't you want to front load the free trial period with the best sellers, and not poo poo? I sure hope this forced online stuff is less than $50/year, but I won't bat an eye if it's $60 or higher.

There'll most certainly be others in addition to those two. Breath of the wild, 1 2 Switch, and ARMS are just the only 3 confirmed launch titles from that switch event thing. I dunno if that'll help you at all but hopefully it does :D

SeANMcBAY posted:

Why the gently caress would they ever remove Waluigi Pinball, that's like one of the greatest courses


Then again, 8 also had the lame-rear end battle mode where from what I've heard it didn't even have block fort or the big donut style stages so wtf

I think they probably would just say that portability and having all the DLC bundled in is the plus. Different strokes, of course.

If there's more coming out aside from those then that's good but honestly for it to be worth it to me they'd have to be Switch exclusive.

Otherwise I'm fine waiting til the other announced games come out.

Man, that poor translator they had for the Splatoon guy and Suda51 wasn't having a good time. I know how stressful simultaneous interpreting is (if your concentration slips even briefly and you didn't quite get everything the guy said, you're hosed), but the other translator was totally fine and this guy just seemed nervous and unsure about the whole thing. Wonder if he was new to this or if he was just having an off day.

I also wonder how comically inflated the price for the Switch is going to be here in :finland:. I expect nothing less than 399.99 euros.

I think one of the major appeals to Nintendo was that, even though their online was poo poo, it was extremely easy and free to jump on to say, Mario Kart online alone or with a friend. Little kids could manage it and non-tech savvy parents that don't trust the internet didnt have to put their CC details in.

I knew it probably wouldn't play wii-u games but that would be cool. There's just such a huge backlog there

So will the Wii-u line of pro controllers work with it...?

I'd wanna do it from Walmart and not Best Buy since Best Buy has a good track record of taking too many preorders and then telling you you're poo poo outta luck but has anyone from Amazon said when they're opening theirs?

That is fine, what is important is that you have decided for yourself what you want and when you will want it and holding off until it meets that criteria, which is a responsible way to handle the situation since it allows you to see how the system turns out :) Regardless, I hope that you enjoy it if/when you eventually get it, just as I hope I someday enjoy it many years from that when I can afford a used system maybe :D
