Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

Super Mario Odyssey is so well done from visuals to controls. Was only to play maybe an hour but progressed pretty well. Figure I’ll go back and explore each kingdom more than once. Definitely a system seller along with Zelda.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

I pre-ordered Mario, but probably won't even bother picking it up, as I'll be out of town all next week for work and won't have any time to mess with video games until I return.

The game does look like it'll be a ton of fun ... hope you all enjoy it!

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

It looks so good. I just still can’t justify buying the switch for one game. If my Zelda save and all VC games carried over from Wii U the decision would be a lot easier. Really wish Nintendo would get it together with that stuff.

To be fair I have digital games on PS3 that I can't play in PS4...
I had the WiiU also and LOVED it.. but have to say the switch is a better system as a whole for me.

Yeah I get it....it’s just frustrating. Feel the same way in Sonys case but I skipped ps3 and waited for the Pro so it didn’t really impact me.

Ideally I’d like to trade in my current console towards my new one but there’s really no way to do that Nintendo wise and not just essentially flush my vc games down the toilet. Im sick of buying super Mario 3 over and over again lol. I’m guessing I’ll bite once a new Zelda drops. I haven’t even finished Botw so I need my Wii U anyways.

It’s a great lineup as always but for a Wii U owner you’re essentially still only listing one game.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

I still haven't got Mario Kart yet.
Golf Story, Zelda, Mario Odyssey and Stardew Valley are a nice group to keep me occupied

I have only traded in a console for the same console (like PS4 reg for a PS4 pro)
The rest either go in attic or to my daughter lol

I agree though about VC games.
I wish that once you bought it for one system and the next has VC capabilities... you'd get it free.

I understand where you are coming from and I'm not trying to convince you.

Report: Japanese Third Parties Unconvinced Of The Switch Are Now Scrambling

The Wall Street Journal, in their reporting on Nintendo's recent financial report that released today, talked to Hirozaku Hamamura, chief executive of Japanese game-magazine publisher Gzbrain (which owns magazines like Famitsu). Hamamura, who is known equally for both extensive insider knowledge about the Japanese gaming industry and his loose lips about the same Japanese gaming industry, told WSJ that big games were coming to Switch much later because third parties were surprised by its success.

Specifically, Hamamura says that a lot of heavy hitters one would expect to come to Switch won't be there until 2019, due to the prolonged nature of game development and the dawning realization that the system was not going to be another Wii U over the last seven months.

Most notably, Capcom, a publisher who had long been an ally of Nintendo's through both successful and unsuccessful consoles, had been suspiciously absent from the Switch. The near-launch Ultra Street Fighter II sold well despite being criticized as overpriced, and the only follow-ups from the company have been ports of Monster Hunter from a previously-released 3DS game and ports of the two Resident Evil Revelations games.

A Capcom spokesperson quoted in the article explained that getting out software for systems in its first year of launch is rare for third-party developers because there simply isn't enough time to release games within the first year. Capcom developed and published Dead Rising 3 on the Xbox One for its launch.

One third party who got on board quickly with the Switch, Koei Tecmo, struck a somewhat boastful tone last week during a press conference. From the WSJ article:

“We bet big on the Switch as a game changer so we began making games before the Switch’s launch, but many software companies showed reluctance in releasing Switch games before they witnessed the current success,” said Yoichi Erikawa, chief executive at Koei Tecmo.
