I've officially given up refreshing Amazon a few times a day trying to see if pro controllers show up. I hope the grip is ok for someone who doesn't have baby hands.

I've heard people who've tried it that it's pretty comfortable for people with big hands, but that's gonna be pretty subjective. Nintendo's been pretty good about making their things super ergonomic. I think MK8D is gonna be the real test for me.

So I'm not too worried about the short term growth of titles available because Zelda will take me 6 months to complete, at least.
Would be about a month if I was still in middle school and hated going outside or talking to people or being a good person.

Then if we get Smash and Mario close enough to one another, that's probably another year of development.
I say this to myself, mostly, because I *am* a little nervous.

If their commitment to third party and indie developers is true, I'm going to be very happy.

Mario, Xenoblade 2, and Retro's new game (More than likely Metroid Prime 4) are all coming Fall 2017. There will be plenty to play and I don't know why everyone is sleeping on ARMS because that game looks like it will be a more robust modern reimagining of Punch-Out and Virtual On.

Get it from Amazon Japan. With the preorder price guarantee, my pro controller is about $65 shipped right now.

Yeah, Reggie's already said Nintendo is focused more on having a steady stream of games rather than a big, game-packed launch lineup so presumably we'll get those Wii U mulligans down the pipe.

If they announce a Xenoblade collection for the Switch I'm sold.

I bet we'd get Xenoblade 1 from Wii's VC and maybe Xenoblade X as a Wii U director's cut, each sold separately.

The version of XCX we got was already a director's cut equivalent wasn't it? It came with the DLC and extra characters already baked in.

Not sure if this has been posted yet (apologies if it has) but Waterfield are looking for feedback on what kind of stuff people want out of a Switch case. Everything I've bought from them has been really great so if you want to contribute to the potential design of their Switch accessories... https://www.sfbags.com/pages/waterfield-nintendo-switch-case

Speaking of Amazon and Pro Controllers, Amazon UK seem to have unfucked their Pro Controller pricing and are now asking for the actual UK MSRP of £64.99 instead of £99.99. I don't even know what the gently caress was the deal with that.

£65 still isn't the kindest conversion but there's taxes and Brexit so gently caress it, I'll take it.

They've outright stated a kerjillion times Retro is not working on donkey kong or metroid. Which means they're working on Donkey Kong Prime: DK vs Metroid

So you are saying the opposite? Because the yen is weak, the US dollar should buy LESS in Japan?

Or are you saying they should cost the same in each location, regardless of the value of the currency? I could see your point there, thought that is not what is happening.

But if you are saying the US dollar should have less buying power then I think you are confused.

Retro also leaks like a sieve and none of the believable leaks have said donkey kong or metroid. In fact none of them have said anything more than "a game is being worked on" and "you'll see it at e3".

no one official has said anything about what retro is or isn't doing.

but the six to ten word posts in other peoples topics about nintendo or the switch that pop up on anonymous message boards and refuse to draw any extra attention to themselves have been saying "a game is being worked on" for like a year now.

it's the same posting behavior that leaked donkey kong games in the past.

nothing has been said about metroid or donkey kong.

last one i saw was during the switch presentation, before the reel of games, it apologized for not being able to show anything until e3.

Old game but portable now is a really compelling reason to rebuy a ton of games. I don't like Skyrim very much, but I'm even considering buying it on Switch (when it's on half off or something).

To be honest I doubt we'd ever get a Switch-focused remaster of stuff like that. They'de sooner just shove the Prime Trilogy from the Wii U VC onto the Switch and call it a day I'd wager.
