Nintendo Switch: Thread 09

[DeathAdder]

Loads of stuff I'm interested there.

Day 1:
Switch Sports
Xenoblade Chronicles
Mario Strikers
Alive
Earthbound
Front Mission

Will also get Splatoon 3, Kirby and Triangle Strategy, but I already knew about them. Same with Advance Wars, but they can lose those crap voices.

Happy to see more Mario Kart tracks.

No interest in Disney Racing, especially with credentials like "from the developers of Asphalt". Yeah, that has only ever been a turd, so I'll be skipping that.

No Man's Sky is perfect for a handhleld, but I'll wait and see how it runs. If it's cloud-based, I'm out.

I'll wait and see for Klonoa, and I've had my fill of Force Unleashed and lego games.

[Cepp]

What a feast. SD Gundam, Kirby, LiveALive, Front Mission, MK8 tracks, Klonoa, Xenoblade 3 and more Taiko (not sure about that sub though). Lots of good stuff to keep me going.

Maybe I'll give Triangle Strategy another try with the new demo as well.

[DeathAdder]

Forgot about Taiko. That's another day one for me.

[importaku]

500 songs on launch for donda festival is fantastic but it absolutely hate that the songs are now gonna be paid for with a garbage recurring subscription because in a few years when they discontinue it you can say goodbye to the entire song list something which the previous release doesn't have a problem with my 380+ songs are all still playavle without been tied to a recurring sub. I had absolutely no problem paying for each individual song even though it gave taiko a 3 figure pricretag by the end as i play it a crapload i'm reaching the 200 hours point already and still play it nearly every day.

Also confirms my hunch that the recent xbox version was a low effort spinoff as no console taiko game has ever released without a tatacon to go with it and bandai namco confirmed that they had no plans to release one for that version. Need to watch the full direct as i have only seen bits of news, least there will be loads to play this year on switch i still haven't caught up with the last few months of releases yet.

I really hope this Klonoa collection leads to a 3rd game.

[importaku]

I'm gonna pass on klonoa i was scarred for life by the ending in the first game when i originally had it on ps1, i don't feel like ugly crying yet again.

don't play the second one then... it's an even bigger downer.

[importaku]

lol too late i got that one when i had PS2, and yeah i hate how the endings are never happy but 1 hit me hard. Even after all this time the PS1 ending will make me bawl every single time.

[importaku]

Erm what the hell


Been wanting to replay the 2nd one for ages, yes please i'll happily take a portable switch version as long as it's not some crappy cloud release.

[wakka]

Holy **** guys. We did it. We willed more Mario Kart into being. This is 100% down to this thread.

Seriously, new tracks is great. I thought we were SOL till MK9 on Switch 2 in ~2025 to be honest.

As for the rest, Live A Live is great to see as I’ve always wanted to play that, and I like the idea of playing Front Mission from the beginning too as it’s a series that has always intrigued me.

[randombs]

Advance Wars looked glorious.
I was grinning like an idiot at Nintendo Switch Sports and can't wait for that. Will deffo try having a go during that test weekend.

I'll be all over the Mario Kart 8 DLC but it's making me wonder what other stuff they'll add to the NSO expansion pack over time. The DLC costs the same as a year of NSO expansion anyway but the tracks will be released over two years and I'm not interested in the MD/N64/AC stuff...

[kryss]

I bought the AC DLC outright, I'll do the same with the MK DLC. $35 isn't bad for 48 tracks. Hell, I might even win a race someday soon (what!?)
Too much to get!

XC3 will take priority, that and Splatoon 3 and be the only games I get day one.
Triangle Strategy, yes.
Live A Live, yes.
GetsuFumiDen, yes.
That SD Gundam game, most likely yes.
Cuphead DLC, probably.
No Man's Sky, maybe with a 50% discount.
Advance Wars and Switch Sports, pass for the moment. Is it me, or were there only 6 sports in the game? That seems like nothing compared to Wii Sports Resort.

[Asura]

Admittedly I'll need to see price, not only because it's 6 sports but because 3 of them were tennis, badminton and volleyball - sports with in videogame form are typically very similar.

[Cassius_Smoke]

Switch Sports! For the bowling alone it's worth it.
Advance wars, yes please.
More MK is always a good thing.

It reminded me of those 2000-in-1 Tetris games
