Nintendo Switch Thread (March 3 2017 worldwide, US$299)

[Dr. Zoidberg]

The Nintendo Switch is Joy-Con US$80, Pro Controller US$70.

You have to pay for online, like XBL and PSN.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

No More Heroes 2, Shin Megami Tensei & Ultra Street Fighter 2 are also coming to Switch.

Got my preorder in. I ordered the neon before I actually saw what they looked like. Pretty ugly, actually, but I'm a sucker for color on my consoles.

Also, is Splatoon a launch title? Because that will be the game I pick up for sure. I honestly don't know what else to get yet, since it seems some of these titles are up in the air in terms of release dates.

People seem pissed about the price, the paid online with shitty bonuses and the underwhelming (besides Zelda) launch lineup.

Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.

Summer 2017

Well shit. So what is the launch lineup?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

These seem to be the confirmed launch titles.

• Zelda: BOTW
• 1-2 Switch
• I Am Setsuna
• Just Dance 2017
• Has Been Heroes
• Snipperclips
• Super Bomberman R
• Rayman Legends
• Steep
• Skylanders

Stuff like FIFA & Sonic could be out at launch as well.

...well damn. I hope that No More Heroes is a brand new game and not just a remake, because it's literally the only launch game I have an interest in (Sonic too).

Is this the first launch without a mario game?

I don't think the Gamecube, Wii or Wii U had a Mario game at launch.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

UK price: £279.99

Australian price: $469.95

Canadian price: $400



Apparently the version of Skyrim being ported is the 360 one.

It's a new game but No More Heroes 2 (or whatever it's called) is not a launch title, I changed it to that because I thought it was a typo. The launch title is called Has Been Heroes, which is some indie game.

Wii U had New Super Mario U.

I thought the Cube had sunshine but that apparently missed the launch window. Also the 3ds didn't have one.

Gamecube had Luigi's Mansion and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader has primary launch titles in NA and Europe. Smash Brothers came out about a month later, and Sunshine was about 1/2 to 1 year after launch (depending on territory). Wii had Twilight Princess as a launch title.

No More Heroes 1+2 came out for the Wii, there was also a HD port of 1 for PS3 in Japan, so this will probably be a new game.

[Matisfaction]

The software line up looks pretty decent to me, most of it is set for this year (Mario Kart 8 - April, Racing RMX - March) they "might" even get a decent VC service going this time around with online support, Neo Geo titles have also been confirmed for switch as well.
