Nintendo Switch Thread Consolidation

[Hiro]

what version do you have preordered and if its neon can I buy it off u pls
also how was 1-2 Switch and what was the HD rumble like

[C.Mongler]

its the gray version and im like 80% sure im gonna get it cuz i mostly get to play games on the bus and i wanna be able to enjoy zoldo to the fullest.

1 2 switch i only got to play one mini game, which was Pose Copy or something like that. one person did a pose and the other had to copy, and then after three poses u swapped roles and it scored you based on your pose uniqiness and ability to copy. it was kind of dumb and seemed like the scoring was arbitrary; my friend did shitty poses that i copied to a t (because he basically didnt move lol) and i somehow got 65% for my score lol. i really wanted to try the milk the cow game but i would have had to wait in line for 20 minutes again to try another

the hd rumble felt pretty cool to be honest, but i dont know how much it really adds to the experience and if it is worth the extra cost; assuming thats whats beefing up the price on these things

i guarantee they're working on a goty edition of smash 4 as a quick switch port, a la mk8 """deluxe"""

which means we won't get an entirely new smash game until 2020 at the earliest

Release date is this Friday. Before that, Nintendo's streaming an Indies-focused Nintendo Direct this Tuesday at 12pm EDT.

Oddly enough, there's still a lot of details about the system that Nintendo hasn't clarified, like basically everything that has to do with online connectivity.

Also, reviewers claim they're having some problems with signal strength and dropped inputs from the Joy-Cons thanks to playing in a large living room or from blocking it with their hand or body. This might get fixed in the day 1 system update.

god forbid nintendo ever just have a normal controller ever again....

not that the n64 and GC controllers were "normal"

What's wrong with the Wii U Pro Controller and the Switch Pro Controller? They're totally normal. At worst they just lack analog triggers.

Most Smash people don't like them as much as GameCube controller because they like GameCube's weird button layout and having wires, but those traits aren't that great for playing everything else.

honestly I'm fine with that, hopefully the next smash is a big departure for the series because as well-made as the games are, both brawl and sm4sh were a bit uninspired

I wonder if any good indie games will be announced for launch last-minute. As-is, the games I plan on getting are Zelda, Snipperclips, and possibly FAST RMX.
Hasn't Nintendo basically said that online is going to be in beta until the fall though and will likely see changes until then

There's nothing "wrong" with the Pro controllers, but if anything, they're not the standard controllers that come with the system

I mean the switch controller is pretty normal idk

yeah, "normal"

[TooB]

I'll accept Brawl being "uninspired," but, me accepting the "wrath" of fanboys, I think Smash 4 is the best of the series

and if they do port it, they'll announce a few new characters, all from Fire Emblem.

Melee HD remake when

Im gonna be dissapointed if Hollow Knight isnt one of those indies shown off on Tuesday

At this point I'd say Alm (and/or Celica) and Inkling would be the least surprising reveals for Smash 4 Deluxe. I'll be more surprised if neither of them get in.

honestly, my brother and i were just dying at the ice cube demonstration

It's a somewhat silly demonstration, but that's an effective way to describe the feature. Enhanced haptic feedback is a legitimately nice feature for plenty of situations.

Admittedly there are some games, like Smash, that wouldn't benefit at all from this feature, but you could say that about almost every other improvement in gaming hardware. Some games don't even benefit from joysticks or shoulder buttons and this is undeniably a much more minor feature than those.

yeah, "normal"

in terms of controls what exactly is abnormal about it? I suppose the lack of a proper d-pad but really it's got all the same inputs as a traditional controller so I don't see a complaint here whatsoever
