Nintendo Switch: Thread 09

That looks really cool. As always, the fun will depend on how clunky the controls are.

[wargame]

Screw AAA, i'll keep on with indie stuff it's where the imagination is. This looks amazing

That does look pretty cool and so darn adorable.

Yes, you are.

Are you somebody who likes classic Nintendo game music enough to create inspired remixes and/or cover versions?

If you are, Nintendo's lawyers want to speak to you!

I've not had drift on any analogue controller I've ever had.

[dataDave]

Me neither. Although I had a dodgy Y button straight out of the box, so that joycon had to be replaced.

Nintendo growing increasingly arrogant and pushy whilst enjoying a high in the industry... I'm sure it'll all work out fine for them this time

James Turner, Pokemon designer at Game Freak, art director for Sword & Shield, and director of Tembo The Badass Elephant has left the company to form his own studio, All Possible Futures:

Embedded Tweet

All Possible Futures' first game is The Plucky Squire, which was announced a few days ago with no release date (the trailer was already posted by Importaku in another thread).

The Switch has outsold the 3DS for lifetime sales in Japan.

It has also now become the third-best selling console of all-time in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Well now it has to outsell the Wii U in combined sales otherwise it's a failure. Granted, that shouldn't take long!

Question about all the cheap indie cartridge games on Switch. What happened there? In the past Nintendo didn't even get third party support due to its proprietary media having an expensive license. Now we see just about everything, even if they look like 100MB soaking wet, get a physical release, sometimes priced at 12 quid.

There’s 100m switches out there, who isn’t going to release their game for it in some respect? You’d be mad not to. I’m surprised there isn’t a 2fps version of cyberpunk at this stage.

It's because Nintendo in the last few years have ran headlong in the absolute opposite direction on indie games, because collectively they make them a ton of money.

This is why there's so much sub-iPad crap on the eShop though, like Unity-store asset-flips and the like. Nintendo have a really low bar these days for what they'll allow, and they've extended that to cart games too.
