Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

In all seriousness though, I feel like myself (and GameXplain), are the only ones who remember those hoops from 3D Land/World. :I

Same here.

Glad the hype's died down and people stopped expecting it to be a 64 sequel though.

Literally go back to cartridges, use Linux x86, call it the Nintendo 86

The Switch will be a "single-screen experience" according to Nintendo.

Hell, Square also owns Kingdom Hearts and Tomb Raider.

Sora and Lara confirmed for Smash Switch.

There's one little problem with the former and their name is Disney.

Not that I'm saying Sora is impossible or anything, but Disney is far from the nicest corporate company on the block (R.I.P. Marvel vs Capcom).

Thank goodness.
Less gimmicks developers have to work around.

I love that the year is going to be 2017 and potentially one of the most powerful systems on the market will be using cartridges to play games.

What a fricking time to be alive. We've come full circle.

It was a joke. I'd be okay with Sora getting into Smash, but I never expect it to happen simply for the reason you stated.

Good, my 3DS get to live longer and Professor Layton stays on DS

To add to this, I think I'm starting to realize why the past several North American eShop updates have added DS and Wii games, but no NES/SNES/N64/GBA/TG-16 games.

Yeah, I can see Ninty not abandoning the 3DS just yet. Especially for games and series that kind of need the dual screen/touch screen functionality and all such as Professor Layton, Art Academy etc etc.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Random question. There is a house on/next to a vacant lot. Would the house look abandond or livable?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Just because developers are moving doesn't mean it's some huge dev. J/S


Also Nintendo please abandon 3ds and wii U asap plz and thank you.

 

[Ivander]

Squeenix comes home.

Super Mario RPG 2 confirmed.

Geno in Smash Switch confirmed.

This is just a rumor confirmed.

I LIKE SAYING CONFIRMED!

I wouldn't lie. I would laugh so frickin' hard if it turned out FFVII was canceled for PS4 and moved to the Switch. It'd be the greatest irony in all of gaming.

 

[Radical Bones]

I was thinking about Mario Switch and how the level shown had aspects of Mexican culture.

Then I thought the game could be themed around Mario travelling around the World to different countries.

I had the perfect name for it too - Super Mario World.

Theeeen I remembered...

Are the press already burned out on "third party developer makes the Switch" type headlines? There can be no other reason why the headline for this article isn't that.

http://www.polygon.com/2016/10/21/13362890/nintendo-switch-not-dualscreen

I guess this makes the idea of a separate 3DS successor that much more likely. I can't imagine them dropping dual- and touch screens that easily, given that a few series are dependent on those.

What if the main game might actually have some kind of Mexican theme going much like Sunshine had a Hawaiian theme where Mario will probably have to help out the citizens to remove whatever climatic troubles they might be having going on. (The place seems to be covered with Ice of some kind as GameXplain pointed out.)

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Also Nintendo please abandon 3ds

you wont get your bravely third then

 

[Kurri ★]

Are people really that excited that the console is using cartridges?

Am I missing something? I know it means faster load times

cost less
40 buck carts vs 60 buck cds

 

[Yellowlord]

Well guys; I am back from my attempted conquest of the Smash event. I'm afraid to say it did not end in total success, but I still have some results to share.

Since I left my GameCube controllers at home, I ended up borrowing one from a friend down the hall from my room and then began my journey. I did some warm-ups with a few people and didn't lose once. That was the only time that happened, though. When Winners began, I went up against one of the people I did warm-ups with and I was able to 2-0 them with Cloud against Lucina, confirming my first win in a Winners bracket at a Smash event. However, when I later on fought against another Lucina player that was known to be very good with Fire Emblem characters, he destroyed me since he was able to read my moves and know what I was going to do next. The closest I got was in the first game, where I leaded against him and then they managed to just barely score off of me with a forward air off stage on Town and City. During the second round on Battlefield (which I personally chose to challenge myself), it didn't go as well; they managed to 2 stock me. After the match, they had mentioned (not in a negative way, I promise; it was constructive feedback), I was predictable whenever I switched to offense and defense; they'd just end up doing the opposite. Plus, I tended to get scared and back off whenever there were good opportunites to strike, thus showing how I ended up losing the game. They gave me some good advice, however; short hopping. With this method, I can confuse the opponent and strike when the time is right. Unfortunately, the controller I borrowed didn't have a working Z button (for grabbing), so I had to set it to the Y button, which is the recommended button for short hopping. Either way, I went on to the Losers bracket and actually got to have myself fight off against a Game and Watch on a Twitch stream. However... I ended up getting destroyed twice, possibly with the same strategy as the Lucina before. I guess I also had the feeling that I was eventually going to leave anyway, so I accepted my defeat with positiveness. After the match, I talked with the commentators and questioned if the twitch chat ever called me out as a bad Cloud player at any point (since to be honest, Cloud should be able to best Game and Watch a good majority of the time), but I didn't really care. I'll still check and see if they did, but I won't throw a fit about it since I used a different nickname.

Overall, these were my results. In general, I think I improved from last time since I advanced in the WInners bracket. Next time (if there is another Smash event), I'll either bring my own controller from home or try to borrow another friend's controller and attempt the short hop strategy as Cloud. Perhaps it will help me advance even further next time?

 

[ChikoLad]

Probably in part because muh nostalgia.

Don't even get why that would be the case when they are particularly modern cartridges, not the bread loaf ones we got in the old days.

 

[Aurane]

The cost of carts are less then CDs, I think.

EDIT: Pumpkaboo'd

 

[A Distant Demon]

It would just be made on Switch

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

It would just be made on Switch

Id rather it stay on 3DS tbh just like animal crossing

 

[Kurri ★]

That's what it felt like.

cost less
40 buck carts vs 60 buck cds

Is that confirmed?

I know 3DS games are $40, but Switch isn't a handheld console. These are bigger budget games.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Cd games have always cost 60 buck dude

Pretty sure carts are less expensive to make, small, not a lot of plastic

 

[AreJay25]

Still waiting for confirmation on golden carts for BotW Switch.

Seriously, if they don't do that, missed opportunity.

 

[Z25]

Id rather it stay on 3DS tbh just like animal crossing

Yeah, but AC isn't portable only. It works great on portable but it's also really liked on home consoles. And we know a new is being made to be compatible with the mobile game. So Animal Crossing Switch is likely.

 

[Kurri ★]

I know disc games are $60

I'm asking are we sure Switch games are $40. They can still be $60 despite being cartridges because of budgets

 

[Moydow]

The cost relates to things like the overall budget of a game, and less so the medium it's released on. In fact, traditionally carts were much more expensive to manufacture than discs - it's only in recent years that flash carts have come close to discs for cost, and is the reason why discs replaced carts in the first place. There's also the fact that the Switch is being sold as a home console, so publishers will probably just charge standard home console prices for games anyway, regardless of whether they come on a cart or a disc.

 

[ChikoLad]

So I was right about everything we saw being a mock-up.

 

[Deleted member]

IIRC didn't physical PSP games typically cost $40 despite the handheld being disc-based (UMD to be exact)?

So I guess you can't say your problems were with tippers this time .

Hm, really? Well CD games still cost a lot. thats why I rarely buy wii u games. Im just glad online tax isnt a thing here

Eh, I still love ac on DS, easier for me to take everwhere

And about that Mobile game, has there been any news on that lately?

I'm noting it because everyone was defending the notion that we saw these games "running" on the Switch yesterday.

That's definitely not the case now though.
