Nintendo Switch: Thread 09

[dazza_cole]

Folks with two Switches: when starting games, I get a "Checking whether game software can be played" message. Should that happen on both consoles once you have a primary and secondary one, or should that only be on the secondary?

I think I’ve only seen this on the secondary one

[teddymeow]

Balls. I think at some point I've selected the wrong thing, as I'm getting that for everything on (at least what I consider to be) my primary system.

I had that. Easy fix.

I had to go into eShop settings and deactivate my Switch Lite (which was going to be my secondary) and then log on to the eShop with my SwOLED (now my primary).

Logging into the eShop on a console makes that console the primary if there isn't a console assigned to the account in question.

Now I don't get the message on the SwOLED but do on the Lite.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land releases 25 March 2022

Posted it over in the retro subforum too, but figured it'll get a few more eyes here. Cardfighters Clash has been released out of nowhere. Good indicator for there being a second volume NGPC collection after all?

Oh wow, that's cool. Been meaning to play that for forever.

New Kirby out in March apparently and it has coop now as well.

So there are Nintendo leaks doing the round this week. As always, take with a pinch of salt. I'll keep the discussion in the spoiler tag also:

->Open Spoiler<-

If it's real...

Some of these we already know about - Arceus, Kirby, Advance Wars, Mario & Rabbids 2, Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3, BotW sequel, so we can cross those off the list.

But so many rehashes!

I'm concerned that FE Echoes, Detective Pikachu and the Monolithsoft title (which I suspect is a Switch version of Xenoblade Chronicles X) are all just ports.

Not from this source but there's a persistent rumour of an Oracle of Ages/Seasons remake in the style of the recent Links Awakening; I guess that makes sense.

So that leaves Metroid Prime, which again, is a re-release, though I'm hoping it'll be more than just a port but a semi-remake.

New Donkey Kong will be great for the fans; I don't care for those games personally but people like them.

There's certainly some good stuff there, though I dunno; it doesn't really excite me.

The Monolith project has already been rumoured to be XC3 rather than an XCX port (which I would still like - yes, I know I'm the only one).
I'll happily take WW but most likely pass on TP.

There's no way they're doing Metroid Prime/Trilogy HD unless Prime 4 is in dire straights and/or still many, many years away.

[wakka]

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD 100% confirmed in that case

[Nu-Eclipse]

There's no way they're doing Metroid Prime/Trilogy HD unless Prime 4 is in dire straights and/or still many, many years away.

I tend to agree.

All of the ITK talk has been about just the original Metroid Prime getting ported to Switch with the HD treatment, so it would surely be a sign that Prime 4 is as far off as it ever was from appearing (as well as a surprise) if the complete Prime Trilogy shows up.

Woohoo! BallisticNG, that WipeOut love letter that I keep banging on about is finally getting a Switch port.

It's old news now, but I only just learned about it. Doubtful we'll be able to import WipeOut ships/music/soundFX/tracks and such (you'll need a Deck for that), but it'll make a worthy portable companion.

I really want to play this on Oculus but can't

It supports VR but doesn't support VR controllers.

Can you not use a standard controller? That's how I used to play on my Vive.

I miss those days. Sitting full-lotus in the middle of my darkened room with the entire HUD, cockpit and canopy removed. The only way that experience could have been improved would have been to switch out my Xbox controller for some neural lace.

Why isn't Switch Pro/Switch 2 needed?
Because we live in a age when even impressive things are still being accomplished on the Game Boy Advance!
