The Nintendo Switch

I bought the Nintendo online account for cloud saves because the idea of breaking my switch and losing my BOTW savegame would've been too heartbreaking

Also, because sometime - that's okay, TAKE MORE TIME Nintendo - the SNES games will come online and then I'll never leave the house again

My new switch rumor logic goes like this

1. I am not getting any new games via digital because if a new switch comes out I am going to want to be able to, uh, switch between switches (kid and dad)

2. By forcing my family to not enjoy new games until we can acquire a cartridge and swap it in, I am increasing the likelihood that new switch models will come true

3. I am an idiot who thinks Nintendo will cut me a break for being a 2-Switch household and discount our online subs

they have a family plan for online already, its $35 instead of $20/year and covers up to 8 switches iirc

Up to 8 individual accounts, no particular limit on switches.

omg I <3 katamari damacy on the switch. Dad is always SO disappointed in me on the make the moon level. I don't care if I ever roll up godzilla and those weird luchador/superhero dudes wading in the ocean, just want it to never end. And now Animal Crossing is coming in March; I may never be heard from again.

i want to pick up mario maker asap but i should have 10 nintendo bux coming in from the last tetris 99 event (weirdbrag) and i'm waiting for that to come in before pulling the trigger!

i will def play yr level karl and comment "OTM" no matter how good it is

(oh guess that post was in another thread my bad)

thank you esby, but that post is in another castle! related thread

i may never fully recover from nintendo of america's decision to appoint one 'doug bowser' as their president btw

Loving that lemon-yellow & white color scheme; it looks delicious. Also WTF @ the apparent existence of Switch games that don't support handheld mode?

The inability to have game data reside on more than one switch is still a show stopper for us, I think.

We’ve barely used ours in handheld mode, maybe two times tops?

Ours spends 99% of its playing time in handheld mode running Splatoon 2. If I could transfer the data from the old one to a Lite model then that might work.

xp theres like 3 or 4 party games that dont support handheld becuase they use the joycons in a specific way that requires them to be detached e.g. 1-2 switch, mario party

i'd be tempted to double up on a vita-sized switch but this isn't that much smaller than the existing one. like the colors and the real dpad though

Tombot all games support local wireless data migration between two switches and i believe if you pay for online any games with cloud saves will synchronize.

Anyway I Want It

Hopefully the fact that one comes in all turquoise will help lead my 8yo to the RIGHT DECISION and I will be able to finish my play through of The Octopants Travesty

One of the reasons I rarely play handheld is screen glare, tbh.

Ooh, I may get one of these. I've been holding off for a price drop and also Do Not Own A TV, and so was anticipating that I'd be playing mostly handheld anyway.

While using a non-primary console, you must have an active Internet connection to play downloadable content.

So ... if you have a Switch and you want this Switch lite to just play on the go, you can't? Unless you switch the primary account on your Switches?

I don't get it. It doesn't switch. It sames. The nintendo same.

Shush he's a caveman, etc

if you have a switch you already have a switch that can play on the go

We already have a Switch but that’s “we”; sometimes more than one of us wants to play something, or someone is traveling alone, etc

Some comment from NoA President Doug Bowser in some outlet today that there will be a better story around bouncing between devices but who knows what that’ll actually look like.

i will buy the miku-colored switch if they make that stuff easier

SWATCH!

Switch, Please

commonly known by its nickname "switcharito," which means "little switch"

picked up RE4 in the EU sale... still a spicy price

mmmmmmm tank controls. lovely

fire emblem getting very positive buzz from the journos that have it already

yeh can't wait, have been mapping out the next few months
Fire Emblem July 26
Astral Chain August 30
DQ11 September 27
then maybe Outer Worlds October 25 pending reviews

the mythical "switch pro" turns out to just be a revision of the base switch with longer battery life

that's good - it needs a longer battery life

stealth upgrade without a separate model? interesting, not very Nintendo-like

they changed the box and added -001 to the model number, it's not a stealth upgrade

Can anybody vouch for Dragon Quest Builders 2 on Switch? I'm on the fence; I played through the demo and enjoyed it, but the choppy frame rate put me off a little. The PS4 version isn't an option for me.

I think I am enjoying RE4

hell yeah @ switch port of super mega baseball 2

out next week??

waht ?! YES

port begging redeemed
