Switch The Official Nintendo Switch Thread - Part 2

[Sithborg]

That's a lot sooner than I expected.

Am I the only one who watched that trailer and went "Hey, anima and animus! They are invoking medieval alchemy!"?

 

[Sithborg]

Oh my god, its happening.

 

[Sithborg]

Probably why Xenoblade got pushed up.

I really need to play one of these games. Do they have a continuous story? Would I need to catch up on youtube before starting the newest one?

Near as I can tell, the stories are linked, but not direct continuations.

Thanks.

Got the pregame for the June Direct. Usually some good stuff in the Indie directs, and there are a few dates I am looking forward to seeing. Plus, hoping to see Golf Story 2.

 

[Iceman]

Are these indies that come out on other platforms too or exclusive to Switch?

 

[Sithborg]

A lot of them come out on other platforms too.

Demo if you want to try out Fire Emblem Warriors.

Its really happening.

I always wondered how that flower digivolves into a Kiwi...

 

[Sithborg]

Digivolution lines be crazy.

 

[Sithborg]

Not exactly the June Direct I wanted...

 

[Lily Adler]

I need to get into the Xenoblade series. I was going to get the first on Wii, but dragged my heels on that one.

Same here. Always been on my list to get into this series.

 

[Sithborg]

God, the mechanics go DEEEP. A party of 4 would give amazing options and combinations, but good lord, a team of 6 with an optional 7th? Just a smorgasbord of a job system.

 

[Sithborg]

WE GOT DIRECT SIGN!!!!!



Ooofff, I can just feel the rage in the comments already. No Metroid, no Zelda. Definitely Bayonetta. Probably more about Monster Hunter. Thinking Squeenix is bringing a new Bravely game.

 

[Sithborg]

Surprised that Nier Automata doesn't appear to be Cloud version. And finally, the Battle Network collection.

Persona, Battle Network, Nier are my favorites. I also like that story book puzzle RPG. Sonic Frontiers feels too little too late. I wanted it in the 2010's, but dammit Sega wouldn't let go of nostalgia and the Boost formula.

 

[Sithborg]

The fighting system in Frontiers is... not good.

Like Nintendo saw combat on a mascot platformer should remain limited to jumping on enemies and using a gimmick for melee attacks.
