Basketball On The Nintendo Switch Is Hilariously Bad

This is an abominable game, I don't know if everyone has seen it. I've talked about it elsewhere. $h1t like this shouldn't be allowed on the eShop.

Still looks better than NBA Playgrounds :pac::pac::pac:

Nintendo do need to cop on with this though. It's getting like the App store - when it first came out, it was navigable - now it's just top 10 charts, and that's it, unless it's word of mouth.

A Santa Tracker on sale for 3 quid is a low point, proof the barrier for entry has fallen over and any ould shyte would get approved.
Every online store has bad games but I think Nintendo's hit the bottom of the barrel faster than most.

Moving Out announce trailer. Coming to PC and consoles in 2019.

The next game from SMG Studio: Moving Out. Coming to PC and Consoles 2019! Revealed on the #KFGshowcase 2018

More info: http://smgstudio.com/
It’s orientation day at the Smooth Move company. To become certified Furniture Arrangement & Relocation Technicians (F.A.R.T.s), employees need to pop the training tape into the VCR and take in the dos and don’ts of moving furniture. Guided by narrator Mick “RicePirate” Lauer, players will learn the ropes in a series of increasingly precarious and fantastical instructional lessons. These span everything from unloading cargo off moving planes to smuggling giraffes out of the zoo and transporting goods to strange locales like haunted houses and outer space.

Moving Out is currently in development as the premiere title from SMG’s Melbourne studio and is made in collaboration with Stockholm-based developer Devm Games.

Nintendo Switch Has Sold 1.4 Million In The UK Compared to 6 Million For PS4

The PS4 is out 5 years now so it's averaged 1.2m sales per year.

The Switch is out 20 months so averaging 850,000 per year which isn't bad seeing it's only had one Christmas period which would normally be the biggest console sale period.

It'll be interesting to see the numbers again in January.

The Switch port of Stardew Valley will also feature local multiplayer which, Barone specified, can be played "without the need for a Nintendo Switch Online account." However, as Barone said on Twitter, you won't be able to play in split-screen on one console by adding another controller or sharing your Joy-Cons.

When you're playing local co-op, each player needs their own Switch.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Switch's biggest UK launch yet

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-12-10-super-smash-bros-ultimate-is-switchs-biggest-uk-launch-yet

Meanwhile Smash has just enjoyed the best ever launch for the series and the best ever launch for any Nintendo Switch game.

It certainly proves that Nintendo we entirely right in dropping the Wii U as quickly as possible and porting over and/or enhancing the games that were worth playing on that machine and bringing them to a successful one. The problem was never the games, it was the hardware.

PS4 just eclipsed the 360 in lifetime sales so it's no shock their UK sales are strong.
Always find these no's interesting as retail game sales mean less and less now. Switch is selling decent, that's a big amount of sales over 3 weeks. Wonder why Microsoft won't release theirs.

keane2097 · 11-12-2018 4:56pm

Pfft, I read that headline and immediately thought 'that's amazing for the Switch'. More than a quarter of the PS4s sales in the UK after less than two years is a big result for Nintendo.

Some of ye can't wait to clutch ye're pearls the minute sligeach makes a post.

Mr E · 11-12-2018 4:57pm

Move on, guys...

Thread cleaned up. Don't shoot the messenger.
sligeach was only posting something that was reported on another site.

It won't work. We'll never see a RDR2 port. The Switch just wouldn't be able to handle it.

Japan could get it as a Cloud game.

Every single animal is asking for your attention! The fluffy balls of wool love to be entertained. Make your sheep jump and use different toys like the trampoline, the seesaw and the swing to actively play with them!

Customize your flock’s pasture with fun objects and choose between different settings like the Wild West or Pirate scenery. Watch your flock run around by day and sleep by the cozy campfire at night.

Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aimé Talks Switch Sales, 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate' DLC And 2019

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattperez/2018/12/10/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-talks-switch-sales-super-smash-bros-ultimate-dlc-and-2019/

On A New Nintendo Switch

Right now, as we go into our second holiday, my focus is making sure the current grey and neon Switch continue to have momentum in the market place. You saw systems, whether it’s our own or competitive home console systems, utilize that tactic a bit later in the life cycle. So right now, the current execution of Nintendo Switch with the Joy-Con and all of the capabilities, that’s our focus right now.

Read that and say a Switch redesign isn't coming next year.

Also, everybodys favourite analcyst, Michael Pachter pipes up in the article saying he doesn't believe Nintendo will reach their 20 million target. “However, if they sell 15 million per year, they’re in good shape and they shouldn’t see a disruption in their momentum.”

Reggie's answer on the Nintendo Switch Online service is garbage.
