Here is a survey, some people are sending all over to gauge thoughts on the Switch.

It's getting a lot of votes.

So please add some more.

That said, here are the results.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...Vf_IdQ3ue40iHjsb_Em5wd0dYJvxJ4Q/viewanalytics

Results are better than I thought they'd be.

This is a surprsiing amount of positivity. Of course the fact taht it seems the majority of voters are nintendo fans doesnt exactly help lol.



Also all soda is gross and unhealthy.

This post from the Nintendo Switch reddit should give you more information on the origins:

lmao that's the retailer that's trying to sell the Switch for 599

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh since someone mentioned Coke vs Pepsi: I need only to bow to the true king of Colas

Spoiler: behold

thats not Dr. Pepper

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Colas

I don't remember mentioning all soft drinks, did I?

Is this a europnean thing? >_>

YOU'RE gross and unhealthy.

Well yeah I kind of assumed that went without saying

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Thinking about ARMS, it could have potential beyond Wii Boxing Plus Dhaslsim bt it'd need a good feature set.

Especially if it had a good online with ranking and good netcode. Or even just some party modes for the drinking games.

This game just gets better and better.

You can also buy an mp3 player to continue listening while on foot. Unfortunately doesn't work on chocobo and gets cut off when in battle. Still coo though.

That is a problem I saw with the polling, but they are working on spreading it around.

That said, I'm surprised that the results didn't dip hugely once other reddits got involved.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Dr. Pepper > Coke and Pepsi combined.

Have you ever eaten so much that your throat rejects any more? I'm at all you can eat sushi and they have a "no wasting" policy but my throat is rejecting any attempt to swollow

Then you should have grabbed less ya dum

So I can't have Decisive Battle when fighting? Not buying XV anymore

Personally, my favorite soda is root beer, but as for what I drink the most, I drink water way more than anything else.

 

[Erureido]

So I went in search of a sponge monster because now the idea refuses to vacate my brain.

And it turns out if you ask nature to make a menacing sponge, the result is less laughter and more, "challenge accepted."

I wanted a sponge monster.

But not like this, man.

Not like this.


Who lives in a horrorscape under the sea? SpongeJack HellNo!
Disturbing, nightmarish and murd'rous is he? SpongeJack HellNo!

That sponge reminds me of Admiral Ackbar for some reason.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

My church was handing out free soda, and I got a large bottle of Stars and Stripes cola. My parents aren't going to drink it because it's diet, so I have to drink it all myself. It doesn't taste bad, just off.

I'm curious to see the results from people who don't frequent gaming communities.

 

[Deleted member]

Well yeah, but that's polling/surverys in a nutshell, you're never going to get the exact facts, you can only get a general idea. But even then that can be highly inaccurate depending on what kind of people are being polled specifically or what kind of questions you ask.

For instance, I'd say this poll is only available to an audience that would be interested in the switch.(Funnily enough, this is blatant because of the top voted consoles are Wii/Wii U/3DS.)

It seems to be an audience of PC users that usually just have Nintendo consoles to the side.(Usually because that Nintendo has the most distinct exclusives.) But it's not surprising seeing the reddit subs people are voting from.(Mostly Nintendo and PC subs.)

So whoever said that this was impressive for the switch over... Nah, not really.

Not exactly a selection of unbiased opinions or great variety in people polled... seems most results are coming from Nintendo-oriented subreddits.

 

[Aetheri]

I watched some gameplay of FFXV...
Needless to say, I want the game...would be awesome if Square could bring it to the Switch...

And I'm still hoping for FFVIIR for the Switch....

 

[Deleted member]

Based on what I read on the website, it looks like the Nintendo Switch Online Service will not make use of the Nintendo Network ID, instead opting to use the general, master Nintendo Account which is used for My Nintendo and smart device apps. It kind of sounds to me like they're planning to shut down all Nintendo Network services later on, and discard the brand name for something else, much like what happened to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

For the most part it's a really good game. And considering the development hell it went through, it's a miracle it came out so well.

I mean, yeah, it does have issues, some really glaring issues, but they're enough to deter me from saying it's an amazing experience. It's a really solid foundation that can and should be improved upon if they ever decide to continue with real-time gameplay.

Personally, I can't wait for the ability to play as other characters and even create you own character

Other people playing Final Fantasy XV is my least favorite thing about not having a PS4 right now


After that comes Kingdom hearts stuff.


SPEAKING OF kingdom hearts
I forgot how much II loved kingdom hearts music after taking a break

gggggggggggggggggggggggggooooooooooooooooodddddddddddddddd I love this stuff.

I saw this in a little shop and bought it

It's not in perfect condition but it's still nice

So how do you think the Arms characters would be handled by Sakurai in Smash? Because they have the potential to have INSANE reach. Also I might need to look into more gameplay but do they have different moves besides just punching straight forward?

They seem to have customizable weapons the players can choose from before they start a battle.

So perhaps it will be like Pit and they'd be able to use some of those weapons for certain special moves?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I kind of hope Sukapon is an unlockable Arms character

 

[Chrono.]

I started off really liking FFXV but the more I played it the more some things got annoying.

Spoiler: This got long and ranty oh god

The fact that you only see what happens in the story through Noct's eyes is taken to the literal extreme so you end up missing CRUICIAL plot points (contrast FFXIII's issue of having too much infodump to read, but at least it's there, unlike this game), the fact that Kingsglaive and Brotherhood are near-mandatory to enjoy the story more and I get what they were going for it but that's not gonna change the fact that Kingsglaive is one of the most boring movies I've seen (Brotherhood is fine).

The open world, in my eyes, is really... dull to explore. Just a bunch of regular-ass environments, in a regular looking world, just "driving" your car in what could be considered a glorified loading screen.

The music is... Okay. I find the battle themes to be pretty generic. They're different depending on where you are and what type of battle you're doing but they all just kinda sound the same to me (some of the boss themes are fantastic though). No overworld music (outside of certain areas) also bugs me more than it should and when there is music it's not really noteworthy.

I'll give the game this, the battle system is insanely fun and rewarding too, I hope future games expand on it instead of throwing it away. Noctis is also a great protag, the broskis are alright too (Prompto and Ignis are good, Gladio is just okay).

I partially watched some of the gameplay during Treehouse. They have a distance grab that would probably work like Link/Samus's. Everything other than that seems to punch forward, but the way it does is different. One fist type was a bunch of bullets, another was a slap, there was a mace, I think maybe a boomerang? All of it seemed to punch straight forward or at a slight angle, but the modifications could do some stuff to varying degrees of odd.

Reggie's statement about the launch
“Launch day is not the be-all and the end-all. It really is the steady pacing of content that continually reinforces for the people who bought into the platform why they made a smart choice, as well as what compels people who might be sitting on the sidelines to jump in. We feel we have this great ongoing march of content to motivate you to jump into the platform.”

Reggie's statement about the paid online
“People have taken shots at us for that. The reality is, the way that online experiences have progressed, it’s an expensive proposition. The amount of servers we need to support Smash Brothers or Mario Kart — these big multiplayer games — is not a small investment. There are no friend codes within what we’re doing.”

Woomy is something Inklings say, Splatoon=Woomy

Reggie doesn't realise the problem is not only paying for the online but that certaon countries have NO WAY to pay for it

Which Dutch retailer is this anyway? Even then it's a fake leak for getting Odyssey wrong

And I just realized @Shishœ got cucked HARD. First Nintendo makes a new IP that can be called EO and now the video game people think of with 'Odyssey' is Mario. "Fire Emblem: Etrian Kingdom" or something when?

It's not like "Odyssey" is trademarked by daddy Atlus
If anyone got cucked, it was Homerus
I'll get pissed if they use Etria tho

Also, fun fact: despite being called "Etrian Odyssey", only the first game(and its remake) takes place in the town of Etria. That's mostly to blame on the localisation team as the original name was "Sekaiju no Meikyuu" aka "Labyrinth of the World Tree"(Or "Yggdrasil Labyrinth" as it was intended to be ot name internationally). It was changed to avoid any possible confusion with Yggdra Union or Deep Labyrinth since daddy Atlus published those two in North America.

This is an Etrian Fact, brought to you by your resident etrian nerd

"Mega Man has the largest reach."
"No, Shulk has it!"
"Now it's Corrin"
"Nah, **** it, let's go back to Mega Man, it's Spring Man"

Gotta love how Sakurai gave us so many characters with long reach in this game with varying degrees wether its from the side or up. And then Ninty comes up with Arms.

 

[praline]

I still hope Final Fantasy XVI goes back to the more medieval style of the old games. It'd be cool to fly around in an airship and all that but have it more like FFXV in playstyle.

Im really really interested n this SMT game on the switch

Yup, pretty much these are the glaring flaws with the game (among maybe a few other things).

For an open world it's sparsely populated. The only actual town is Lestallum, everything else, excluding Galdin Quay is just a gas station, motel, and restaurant. Compared that to something like Skyrim or Fallout where there's multiple towns/cities, and even outside of that, there's places where people just live. And even then Lestallum isn't all that interesting of a place to stay in. It's cool in design, but there's no interesting story behind it. The various holds of Skyrim all had their own stories to tell.

I don't think the issue with FFXV's world is that it's generic, but that it's just dead. Anything that falls outside of the main quest is just padding rather than a whole new experience. The reason I compare it to Skyrim isn't because I think Skyrim is some bastion of great open world games, but because it still accomplishes a more "living" world than FFXV did. Even if Lestallum is the only town, had the side quests been given more of a story rather than "go there, do this" it would've made the world feel less, plain.

Someone finally ****ing did it

I want daddy Atlus to make a Jojo RPG
