Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

@Octane Hmmm. Only ever dod one full run.

Ill say this. The voice acting made me cringe, the story was meh, the gameplay actually could be a good foundation on a technical level, just ya know, dpad. First person mode was wonky though but the rest of the gameplay was solid.

Linearity was meh i admit and the ingame readons fir story aquiring of power ups was inconsistent and at times baffling sometimes requiring you to use it first.

Graphically its great. But that doesnt sell me a game.

Soundtrack is okay when its there.

Its a solid meh from me really. Could be worse but whats there has promise but is bogged down by off choices.

@BLP_Software i was a contrarian too, in my teens. You'll grow out of it

@kyleforrester87 Im 21...

And im not a contrarian. Its genuinely how i feel. If it makes ya feel better I agree that Mario Galaxy is amazing, I prefer Sonic Adventure to Adventure 2, Randy Pitchford is indeed a twit.

I know its oxymoronical to have an objective opinion but my opinions arent based on whats better or wirse or what was promised, but what you put money down for.

So what if x feature was better in another game? What if x game is like y game? Thats not what i paid for. The review should be about the game as its own product.

Id only reference previous franchise entries if something changed for the worse to illustrate a point but never another series altogether because those dont affect the product within its context as you paid for it.

If that makes sense.

Basically it means im very harsh on critical darlings and appreciative of other less liked games for what they are

@BLP_Software bah twenty one shmenty one. Give it another 10 years and you'll love Spice Girls just like the rest of us.

@kyleforrester87 God no. I never liked them when they were relevant.

@KratosMD A definitive edition with all the DLC would totally justify the cost, imo, considering how much DLC came out for that game. All DLC and all content from both versions would make it an instabuy for me.

@KratosMD @Ralizah is there even a 1% chance the GameCube adapter will work? I don't know enough about the switch but I feel like that's a long shot. It will be sad to play a smash without the option for GameCube controllers. As much as I dislike melee (one of the few), they really nailed the controller.

@ztpayne7 I doubt that will ever happen. Now maybe a wireless Bluetooth Gamecube controller for the switch like the pro I can see. But since the adapter was created for the Wii U....

@ztpayne7 It would be a real shame if the adapter didn't work. I've held onto mine for more than a year since I originally sold my Wii U copy (couldn't justify keeping it when I just found the 3DS version superior in almost ever way) with the hope that I'll be able to use it with Nintendo's next console. I can't see any reason why we shouldn't be able to just hook it to the dock.

@Ralizah Want to share NNID's and PSN ID's? It's always nice having some online buddies who share my passion for Nintendo and Sony consoles! ^_^

Both of my online ID's are Rukiafan7.

@BLP_Software It was alright imo, I need to replay that game again, cause I don't remember it to be as bad as some make it out to be. Didn't like the first person pixel hunting though, that is the only thing I remember disliking about it.

@ztpayne7 @Tasuki The GameCube adapter works through USB, the Switch has 3 or 4 USB ports, so it's possible in theory. Just like how they can make Wii Remotes compatible in theory. The tech isn't the problem, it depends on whether Nintendo wants it to happen or not.

@Reanfan7 Great. I'll add you on PSN. Do you have a Switch yet? If so, I'll add you on there, too.

FYI, my information is in my sig.

@Octane Nintendo has been less restrictive with the Switch than it has with its last gen systems so far. Region free. Adding an easy way to play BotW in multiple languages. Now 8bitdo controllers work on the system. I hope that attitude extends to letting people use that GameCube adapter.

Well we now know the real reason for Nintendo discontinuing the NES Classic.

Bring on the snes mini!

For anyone with a Switch, if you need extra controllers for your system, I HIGHLY recommend looking into getting an 8bitdo controller. Third party, but they look, feel, and play like premium controllers, and they cost thirty to forty dollars less than Nintendo's Pro Controller. Granted, you're also missing out on the NFC reader, HD rumble, and gyro, but if those things aren't terribly important to you, these are great! Also, can't speak for the other ones, but the SNES30 has a FANTASTIC D-Pad. This is THE way to play Neo-Geo games on the Switch, imo.

@KratosMD The service sounds awesome. $20/year is a great price, and I'd love to play certain classic Nintendo games with online multiplayer.

I m mightily confused by the $20 subscription. I don't think it is too expensive but one of the things I really want is the virtual console and I can't figure out if this service is replacing it or if there will e a separate VC. I hope not as I think waiting till 2018 is too long.

@Rudy_Manchego It is separate from the sub service, but who knows when they will come.

@Octane Cool, I was confused by getting classic games. Just get it out already!

I'm unsure we're I stand on subscription services now, I was praising psplus a few months back but actually I don't want to pay Nintendo to play online. My home has a PS, Xbox and switch. That's 3 albeit cheap subscriptions to manage for doing something that is free on PC. 8 bit Nintendo games should be free on a rotating basis to everyone with or without subscribing - they are 30 years old now and only the retro gamers who've bought these games 3/4/5 times will purchase them again.

The £20 is basically disabling online play for me, but the incentive of balloon fight or Zelda 2 just does nothing to excite me.

@KratosMD Makes more sense for co-op games like Contra, imo.
