Nintendo Switch Official Thread

[the_FUTURE]

I'm clearly a noob because this is my first ever Zelda game (I've been PlayStation exclusive until now) so I'm running around BoTW lost as all hell. I did the obvious first shrine, then I went and did a 2nd one that was in some cold land. I had no cold weather gear, idk how to prepare the peppers, my ass only got a damn tree branch as a weapon.... so I'm HAUL ASSIN to the top of the mountain where it was located, barely made it with a quarter bar of health. So now I'm gonna go find the third one tomorrow until I go to work.... oh wait a minute... I CAN TAKE THIS TO MY JOB TOO

Played some Metal Slug also... never played it before, it's fun. Though I was using the Joycon D-Pad which hurts like all hell.

Using a wired connection at home while docked, lucky for me I just happened to have the USB to Ethernet adapter required because my old laptop's ethernet port didn't work so I had to buy one for it.

your first ever Zelda? If Odyssey is your first 3D Mario then you need the VC real bad.

FIFA Switch looks dare I say.......good?

Honestly who cares. A mario soccer game is more fun than that boring POS.

I'm like the worst Puyo Puyo Tetris player ever

Still, it's fun, surprisingly; even when you lose

Making huge comebacks in that game is so satisfying.

Which do you suck at?
I can play Tetris fine but I can't play Puyo at all. My brother is the opposite. We were co-op'ing the story mode, even switching the controller on swap levels when the board swapped. Then, there came a Fusion level and that was the end of that

I'm actually really good at Puyo Puyo, but suck at tetris. I play fusion and swap. I'm trying to get better, but, to be honest, Tetris takes more skill and thinking ahead. I need to learn how to read the next 3 peices

Almost bought tetris but it doesn't look fun.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is actually fun as fukk. It's even fun when you lose. Great mind game. I highly recommend it.....9/10

JRPG brehs... Is I Am Setsuna any good?

I see on IGN and Kotaku that the story is great but the combat leaves much to the imagination.

Eurogamer impressions on FIFA:

FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch is the best portable FIFA ever

Eurogamer impressions:
- Says game plays well & is at least as responsive as Fifa 17
- Doesn't look as good as PS4 Pro version (shocking news!)
- Says single Joycon mode is fiddly but does an okay job.

Eurogamer interview with the Producer of the Switch version:
- Completely custom engine for Switch, not Frostbite, not Ignite
- 3D crowds, grass, new lighting
- Icons are in
- Everything in FUT works "almost exactly the same as other platforms", but no Champions.
- Can buy packs, manage your team anywhere you can connect to wifi
- No "new animation every frame", retains old "new animation every step" from FIFA 17
- 60 FPS
- No atmosphere effects/celebrating in the crowd since that's Frostbite
- New overhauled crossing is in the Switch version
- New hard tackle is in
- The new quick subbing isn't in yet, but the producer says he's "adding it to the list"
- No Journey since it's powered by Frostbite
- The producer says they could get Frostbite on the Switch, but they thought a custom engine would be a better experience
- Doesn't close the door on feature parity with the console versions in the future. Need to see where the platform goes from here

Been playing Disgaea 5 heavy. The battery life on this thing sucks. I almost never use the dock so I'm constantly having to recharge it and it's awkward to charge and play.

Been playing this for the last 2 weeks. I don't think I could ever go back to console disgaea at this point.

Lazy fukks

They should've put Frostbite on it which would've came in handy for other EA titles.
