I would consider trading in my current system towards a new version with SNES themed controllers.

That's a solid line up of games for those getting the system this Christmas

Don't forget Xenoblade 2 is totally definitely coming out this year.

The only game I really really wish they would port to the Switch is TMS#FE because I never finished it and it was dope as gently caress and I don't want to hook up my Wii U to a TV in order to play it. SIGH such is life!

This but every other first/second party Wii U game too.

Saying the direct is mostly about Splatoon and Arms but also other things leads people to decide that they're announcing the things, all of the things.

I was up to the part with the Egg and then I had to move across the country and packed it away and still haven't gotten settled yet so I guess they've got a few months to announce a port before I eventually do get it hooked back up and go back to it. Oh Tsubasa, how I miss your optimism!

Checking the coming soon section of the Nintendo site JIC something interesting rocked up
Puyo Puyo Tetris is launching for $30USD
Which is ~$40AUD

HOWEVER
The Aussie eShop lists it for $52AUD ($40 USD) tho

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

That suggested games release list for 2017 is wrong because Mario will surely be their pre-Thanksgiving week release. Nintendo always goes at that particular date with something strong to bolster the holiday season, and Mario is going to be huge for them. No way it comes out in October.

Also, that list does look pretty good, assuming that ARMS isn't trash and that the e-shop/VC manages to bolster the lineup.

I finally beat BotW so my thread blackout is over... I missed 11k posts, anything noteworthy? Is Nintendo still doomed? Is BotW a poo poo game now?

Did anyone weigh in on Has-Been Heroes? How is it playing on a controller? It's also on Steam and kind of looks like playing with a mouse might be better, but would like something else to play on my Switch.

Did that Master Blaster game ever get pro controller support? If not gently caress them.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
we in the uk, along with over top, are getting fatal fury too in the next few weeks. only on, the neo geo switch.

oh and if that russian mario kart bundle is true is gives some truth to this hilarious poo poo: http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/372872764/nintendo-direct

80 vc releases in may? yeah, ok. sure.

then again, i hope that hard mode lame poo poo is true because i am really wanting an excuse to not spend another 200 hours playing this loving game. only way i'll replay if hard mode turns out to be some kind of insane survival mode and dark souls bosses. that 50 level cave of trials and air dungeons sounds sweet tho.

Yeah they do. I picked mine up after not using it for a week and I was amazed how much better it felt that my Xbox One controller.

I was lamenting that I don't have a reliable way to bring it to work in my bag without a stick getting bumped and the controller searching for a connection.

Then I remember the pro controller's battery is a loving champ so I bring it anyways.

Like.. digital price hikes are so bad in Australia the government summoned Microsoft, Apple, and Adobe to explain themselves a couple of years ago (At the time it was literally cheaper to fly to the USA, buy Photoshop, then fly back instead of purchasing it digitally here)

Australia is one of the biggest piraters of media content in the world, the reason being that we've been getting ripped the gently caress off for years for what essentially boils down to simply living overseas for the exact same content hosted on the exact same servers in the US.

I think a lot of Aussies really don't mind paying for their media.
We're just super loving tired of paying 30-40% more just because.
All we want is a fair crack of the whip.

I'm not particularly interested in buying Puyo Puyo Tetris for $40AUD ($30USD) off the US eShop, but I sure as gently caress wouldn't be buying it for $52AUD ($40USD) on the Aussie eShop if I was.
