Nintendo Switch Thread Consolidation

Fire Emblem Echoes is definitely the biggest surprise of the day.

I guess this isn't the first Fire Emblem remake, but it's surprising to get one now and even moreso to get it exclusively on 3DS more than two months after Switch is out.

Celica will be in Smash Switch

[TooB]

They did announce there will be an actual fire emblem coming to switch but that's 2018 so... yeah

yeah but..... as cool as fire emblem is, its not a system seller. Weird of me to say, since Dynasty Emblem was

probably. Idk why we needed FE warriors when soon we'll have every FE character in Smash anyway! (Nintendo pls)

I agree with both of those

I mean I want a switch for wii u port Zelda and Mario kart and street fighter 2 so no judgment

[TooB]

I'm just a bigger fan of hack and slash games over srpgs, so....

It's why I love that Koei Tecmo is taking all these franchises to make into hack n slash games.

[rdl]

wonder if they'll do a port of skyward sword? now that they brought back motion controls. imo, criminally underrated game

[TooB]

They probably would.

I would love a skyward sword hd

TIL it won't launch with streaming services and they are only "under consideration" by Nintendo

I'm not usually one to get worked up about these things but jfc

Wii U is so sorry it doesn't even deserve to have its thread bumped for the first time in two months: NoA confirmed that Breath of the Wild will be the last first-party Wii U game ever. It's been obvious for a long time, but they're finally admitting it now.

With previous consoles, it was pretty clear that Nintendo completely ignored the fact that people have smartphones and tablets. It's just one part of why Wii U's advertising was so off-the-mark.

With Switch, it seems Nintendo is taking the completely opposite approach: "You can do this with your smartphone? Then it's not a priority for us to support it on Switch."

My fiance wanted to get me a Switch for my birthday, because it's in April. But, I thought about it and told her no, because [glow=black,2,300]no games.[/glow]

i knew it wouldnt launch with them, but wait, do you have a source on they're just under consideration? because that seems laughably short sighted considering there's a dedicated share button on the joy con lol

"Nintendo told Kotaku that all of the company’s efforts were going toward making it an “amazing dedicated video game platform,” so streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube and Hulu will not be available upon release. The company added that support for video-streaming services “is being considered for a future update.”

ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh i misread that; they mean shit like streaming on twitch and youtube gaming. that makes sense. i originally read it as the ability to literally share/export video clips which made me go "uh you guys already made a button for it"
