Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

I would say "I'll see what happens", considering the other list they've put out for Wii U, but...

Dark Souls on the go?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

"Nintendo aren't serious about third parties"

Still tempted to say, "I'll see what happens.", but that can easily change with a Dark Souls game.

Nintendo drops region-locking? About time.

Rrly. That was a thing? How is Rosalina being in Smash affect Kirby not being in MK8 like 10 months later?

It was her Smash trailer. Everyone thought that Kirby was going to be in MK8 and when the DLC was introduced they thought that Kirby was going to be added, which wasn't the case.

We had a similar info graphic for the Wii U when it was revealed... Maybe a third of of them made one game for the system.

We don't even know the resolution or frame rate yet. For all we know it could just be a shoddy port that they whipped up because Nintendo threw money at them. I wouldn't be surprised if the thing is weaker then the Wii U...

Also I don't think 3DS backwards compatibility will happen because I don't think this is a touch screen, and the system isn't very well-suited for even displaying them.

Yeah no. I doubt its just a "shoddy port" im sure that well specs that'll verify this things power soon enough

 

[Champ Gold]

Who knows, they could port P5 in the future

question, are 3DS games playable on this system? If so, then All is good

I doubt it. Most of those games require double screens and they'll just make ports.

I do believe they might do tie in accounts and let you download ported games

 

[AreJay25]

I'm pondering if Tekken 7 on Switch could be a thing.

That would be unbelievable.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Hey you know that list of 3rd party devs I showed?

Wanna know who is on there? Square Enix

You wanna know who else? Silicon studios

You wanna know what they made? Bravely Default

You wanna know what else they made? Bravely Second

DO YOU SEE WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS?

Bravely Third please please please

 

[PLATINUM7]

Funny, Rogers and Eurogamer said it would run on an NVIDIA chip.

Switch runs on cartridges, yes.

The main unit is a handheld, and discs on a handheld are a pretty stupid idea.

Looks at the PSP's UMDs.
Well discs for a handheld can work. Though the smaller sized carts definitely make the games themselves even more portable.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

"If RDR2 isn't coming to Switch then Nintendo really aren't that serious about third parties"

Thanks NeoGAF.

tbh, when I saw RDR2 written out like that, I though it was the name of a Star Wars droid.

>_>

This guy.

Any other developer being such a jack ass would get me to hate him and forever sour his appearance in my heart.

Kamiya however? His jackass-ery warms the deep deep cockles of my soft black heart.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If it's backwards compatable and region-free, it's going to be a real exciting day.

new leaf and MH:Gen on my tv will make me happy

I'd take cartridges over discs any day tbh

It's more convenient

Not gonna lie, that would look absolutely amazing if anything. Never had a chance to try the series outside a demo but eh. Hopefully Bravely Third is a thing.

It's on page 1021.

I'd post the image, but I can't copy it with mobile Chrome...

Agreed. No scratches.

 

[FalKoopa]

We in it.
Now we need release dates. Also it to be calld Spla2n

THEY USED THAT PUN. God bless the developers.

Also, the lack of region locking is HUGE for me. I can happily use EU versions of the games now, while importing the cheaper NA console. Yaaaay!

 

[Champ Gold]

I'm pondering if Tekken 7 on Switch could be a thing.

That would be unbelievable.

Remember Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Edition, it'll be that.

But Tekken 7 drops a full month before Switch does.

 

[A Distant Demon]

THEY USED THAT PUN. God bless the developers.

Pretty sure that's fan made

 

[SuperMii3D]

Something ticked me off was that Nintendo didn't announce a Direct or some event to discuss the Switch more. The video was great but we need more information

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Now the Big Question is Smash Bros.

My best guess would be a definitive edition with all the DLC and some additional tweaks.We seem to be getting Mario Party 8 with some additions as is.

 

[Deleted member]

Looking at the cartridges, they look a log like SD cards, guess no backwards compatibility unless the slot is bigger to fit 3DS cartridges or there is another one

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This also begins.

Not even kidding, I'm totally in for an Elder Scrolls character now

Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards.

Yeeeaah, this thing is not weak by any means.

I have no idea what those words are supposed to mean but they look complicated so I believe that's a good thing

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This guy.

Kamiya is our one true hero
But will he block The Wonderful 102 idiots?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Bravely Third please please please

Bravely on big tv
Instant orgasm

 

[Opossum]

You mean Kart, right?

 

[FalKoopa]

Do we know how long its battery lasts? It needs to be at least 5-6 hours imo, for long gaming sessions.

Pretty sure that's fan made

I'm going to cry in a corner because the official name will not be good as that. Darn.

 

[Strofirko]

There is some peeps pointing the cross button to be the directional when it is actually the Plus and minus buttons.

Somewhere Sakurai grumbles like a child being forced to go back to school at Nintendo. "Mom fine I said I'm getting up! Yes mother I remembered to pack K. Rool this time. I'm not an idiot! God leave me alone I'm nearly in my 50s!"

 

[Metal Shop X]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.........
Like, I just saw the video and...
Hey, Nintendo seem on a good way guys.

 

[LancerStaff]

Yeah no. I doubt its just a "shoddy port" im sure that well specs that'll verify this things power soon enough

Like how they wouldn't gimp ME3? That was with the collection releasing on other systems though, but it's the same principle. Major third parties have done things like this in the past.

 

[Champ Gold]

Also Activision is on there but not as Activision-Blizzard so no Overwatch: Switch Edition possibly

 

[Ura]

Smash Switch port needs to be a lot more than just the DLC included if the MK8 trailer is anything to go by.

 

[Champ Gold]

Also Nintendo would be truly out of touch if they don't use this in their ads

 

[AreJay25]

Remember Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Edition, it'll be that.

But Tekken 7 drops a full month before Switch does.

Yeah, a Wii U Edition style port isn't out of the question.

But still, just the thought of having that on the go...

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I'm so excited for the potential new characters that could be added to a Smash Switch game.

Pls don't disappoint.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Mario Party 8 needs to stay dead. Now Mario Kart 8, that we need.

 

[Burruni]

Man.
Here's the thing.
CONSOLE PRICE?
This kind of massive power is... a little concerning.

 

[AreJay25]

Do we know how long its battery lasts? It needs to be at least 5-6 hours imo, for long gaming sessions

Not at the moment. That's honestly my biggest concern so far.

The Wii U Gamepad's battery life was... not good.

 

[Ura]

From le Switch site...

Full game demonstrations, the list of launch window titles, as well as launch date, price, product configuration and related specifics, will be shown and announced prior to the March launch.

So I guess it's really up in the air when we're going to hear anything about the Switch from here til March. For all we know we might not hear anything else until next year.

Which is actually what i'm predicting. Maybe a special Direct presentation in early-January that goes about explaining all the details of the hardware and software. Would much rather it be November or December personally.

 

[FalKoopa]

Man.
Here's the thing.
CONSOLE PRICE?

Less than or equal to the PS4 Neo, I think.

Possibly won't be higher than that.

 

[Chandeelure]

Pls don't disappoint.

It's exciting.

 

[Z25]

Smash Switch.

Please don't call it that.

Just a thought.

Don't worry, it will be called Switch Smash!


Actually it's Super Switch Smash Bros!

 

[Curious Villager]

Man.
Here's the thing.
CONSOLE PRICE?

Yeah I'd like to know more about the price myself.

But for now, I'd like to see more about the new software that will be made for it and which ones will be available at launch, as well as a more in depth look on the new 3D Mario and Mario Kart.

I probably won't buy it day one, but I'd still like to see more in regards to what's in store. Hopefully we'll get a Direct or something with more information soon.
