What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

uuuuuuugh. i just realized that lozbow is going to have actual voice acting instead of just gibberish (watched the english language upload). 

 

gross. please come with sub/dub selection

 

Damn. That trailer is epic. I may have to get the Switch just to play this.

i think the price is right for the initial console. there's probably a good bit of tech in those little controllers and all it's different configurations. i wanna know if there's any difference in framerate between docked/portable and what the performance is like for zelda

The dock overclocks the processing, so I'd guess it might studder sometimes in portable 720p mode.

Not in framerate, but in resolution - 720p undocked, 1080 (900 actual) docked.

 

Switch accessory prices though:

 

Extra dock (for the bedroom, etc.): 90.00 USD (!)

Pro Controller: 70.00 USD (c'maaaan, this isn't an XBONE Elite Nintendo)

Joy-Con Controllers: 50.00 USD EACH, or two for 80.00 USD (a bargain)

 

I mean, that's just silly. Honestly, the games look no better than Wii U games, and I think the hardware should have been 250-280 USD max.

 

Online will be free until Fall 2017 - after that, it's a paid service like PSN and XBONE GOLD (you do get 1 free NES and one free SNES game per month though)

 

But, it's sold out everywhere, so Nintendo is doing something right!

Add that there will only be 4 launch titles, and most of the notable games aren't coming until later in the year - I think they HAD to get Zelda out otherwise the launch potentially would be a failure.

 

It will be interesting to see if they delay the Wii U Zelda past 3 March as not to cannibalize Switch sales...

They need to get a Pokemon and Animal Crossing game out for Switch ASAP

[juiceciuj]

i was able to preorder one from bestbuy (ugh...) that says will be delivered 3/3 like two mins ago.

 

figure i can resell it if i end changing my mind (doubt)

[juiceciuj]

wow i can't believe 1-2 switch isn't a pack in...

lol the free nes/snes you get every month with their paid service expires at the end of that month regardless of whether or not you stay subscribed: http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/13/14266290/nintendo-switch-monthly-games-not-free

Nintendo in 2017

Only game I'm somewhat excited to hear more of is Suda 51's new game featuring Travis Touchdown. Can probably wait until a price decrease.

[Rubin Farr]

Here's what an actual Switch cart looks like, the launch lineup is pretty paltry, only 5 retail games available. Zelda and 1, 2 Switch only first party games on 3/3. Virtual Console info coming soon, and a Fire Emblem Direct on Jan. 18

wonder what the size is of a big game like zeld0r because dl titles seem like they will fill that 32gb up lickity-split. what's the biggest size sd card there is these days?

BOTW only clocks in at 13gb. the Treehouse Live stream showed them putting a 256gb EVO SD card in the handheld.

Fallout 2. is still goot.

This game freakin rules. Last time i did a blind kung fu guy with jinxed, so enemy guns would backfire randomly

Well, that's just fucking stupid, but I guess they have no choice. You can buy a Wii U bundle (that comes with 2 games) PLUS Zelda for less than the Switch + Zelda.

 

Maybe Wii U sales will increase? LOL

That's still almost half the system memory - and the OS plus formatting will eat up some of that, so likely system memory is around 27-29 GB, like the Wii U. Good thing is you can increase that with standard SD cards.

it's at least only 1 level. the trailer also showed a Dark Souls level which looks pretty cool, pretty spooky

[Echolalia]

Been playing Wipeout Fury PS3 as I was interested in the 1080p output from the older playstation. Looks sweet. The gameplay, atmosphere and presentation reeks of Britain in the 1990s. Still not as good as F-Zero X for speed. 

[juiceciuj]

first thing that came to mind.
