Nintendo Switch Game News and Releases.

Are we lumped in with the UK there? I assume so.

I don't know, but a lot of us bought our Switch's from the UK from sites like Amazon.

Apriori Digital have just put out an official trailer for Aperion Cyberstorm. It's available 8th February on Nintendo Switch but also on Nintendo Wii U and Steam. This game has been a long time coming.

Nice little clip of Kirby: Star Allies.

Google translation: "...... ZZZ ...... Jama ... Helloah ... .... Mumbo ... ... ... Ha! Sorry, I inadvertently fell asleep ...! A blue sky that spreads far, a flowering flowing in the wind ... The peaceful, beautiful Pupu Pland 's steppe is revealed. ... It is a pleasant place as far as I take a nap."

Anyone else finding this site really slow?

This is better than how other companies release a game digitally and then announce a physical version a month or two later. Though having said that, the game has been available to pre-order since last week so I'm sure there are some people who got burned.

I think this is a physical buy for me for sure.
Also, I must get the anniversary title for the Wii, it didn't come out in the EU for some reason, only Japan and the US, but my modded Wii will play it regardless.

Mr E

Aqua Kitty UDX is coming out for Switch next week.

If it's less than €15, I'll grab it. I have it for the PC and it's a fun game with fantastic music.

Anyone get this yet? Looks like fun

Mr E

tinyBuild are announcing 6 Switch games tomorrow.

Great indies like like Clustertruck, Speedrunners and Party Hard could be making the jump.... (all 3 would be purchases for me).

Nintendo To Put A Lot Of Resources Into The Nintendo Switch Online Service; Announcement Will Be Worth The Wait

https://wccftech.com/resources-nintendo-switch-online/

Page 2, question 2 below:

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2018/180209e.pdf

Q2. This is a question about Nintendo Switch Online. The official start of service has been significantly delayed, so has anything changed during this extended development period? Also, how do you plan to popularize the service?

Tatsumi Kimishima (President and Representative Director):

"We view the online service as one component of our efforts to diversify how our games are played and to get people to play more of our games. That is why we want to apply substantial resources to the online service, with the thinking that we will devote our energies to making this a for-pay service.

As for how we plan to popularize the service, it is less about the mechanism and more a question of what kinds of products we can offer, and the spread of the service will depend on whether consumers want what we offer. Please give us a bit more time to announce more details about the service. I think that announcement will convey to you how we plan to popularize the service."

Takahashi:

"We have some ideas about how to make Nintendo Switch Online appealing when it becomes a for-pay service, so I think our next announcement will be worth the wait."

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Listed for Nintendo Switch Release Next Week on Amazon Mexico

http://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/02/09/south-park-fractured-but-whole-listed-nintendo-switch-amazon/

Next Tuesday to be exact. Sounds highly unlikely. I doubt it would just release out of nowhere.

I loved party hard. Headphones on and full volume!

Mr E

Speedrunners with 4 joy-cons too... great fun.

Apparently Nintendo of Europe will be distributing Dark Souls remastered in Europe themselves, which means it'll have price parity (hooray) with the PS4 and Xbox One versions.

I hope it's no more expensive on the Switch than on the big consoles.

Do yee think Dark Souls will lend itself well to portability? From the outset it doesn't seem like the type of game to play in quick bursts.

I do. After all I wouldn't think Zelda would lend itself to such play, but it does.

Are you pointing to the possible price of the Switch version, or how I referred to the PS4 and XB1?

I'm guessing the latter. In that case, that would have been a mistake on my part.

Much of it we've already known but we do get some new trailers of upcoming games and there was a couple of new game announcements(Labrynth of Refrain and Touhou Gensou Wanderer). NIS are heavily supporting the Switch.

Koei Tecmo “readily available to make titles available on Switch” with its own IPs or outside IPs

Koei Tecmo President Hisashi Koinuma:

“I believe that the Switch was well-received and became popular because it’s really suited for the modern lifestyle, not only in Japan, but the US and also European countries as well. So we are readily available to make titles available on Switch, and either our own IPs or some other company’s IPs. I feel we’ve been working on making the titles available on Switch much faster than the other publishers. If there is any need or wishes to be played on Switch, then definitely, we will work on that.”

I'm conflicted, offline yes, it 100% would but I'm wondering how online is going to be affected by people sleeping the console every time they get invaded.

If a DS2 type punishment system was introduced, then it'd be sound. Iirc you got a certain amount of disconnects before additional ones led to you being deprioritized for online play for a little while, it just make it so you were less like to get invaded, but less likely to find co-op partners either

It'll be a good test of the online components of Ninty, especially on the go, when you will have to link yo a portable hotspot or similar.
As for its suitability for portability in terms of short bursts of play... that's a tricky one alright, given that a session, getting from one bonfire to another, can be a fraught lengthy period.
Unless they introduce a mellow mode!

Mr E

Hello Neighbor leaked for switch by Best Buy. To be confirmed later at tinyBuild press conference at 6pm.
