Nintendo switch thread for mental patients

LOL at candy arse. Nobody gives a fuck what you think you disgusting fuck.

You are crazy. Suck shit PC loser.

[GameHED]

Unsurprisingly enough, the feminist-themed Horizon: Zero Dawn fell way down the charts. The title fell all the way down to 12th place in the top 20 software sales for April. This is significant because it only had a day's worth of recorded sales for the March NPD, and had all of March to dominate for the April NPD. As Venture Beat reported last month, Horizon: Zero Dawn only managed fourth place in the March stats.

Meanwhile, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has maintained it's top 10 run since launching in March, showing that it certainly has strong sales legs to stand on.

Bahahahaha.....

Eat shit Aloy - ya flat-chested freckly little ranga cunt!

Haha Eurogamer called it "generic" and this surprised me a lot since they are a SJW website.

I will buy this game soon but I have to admit if it wasn't for Zelda I would have played this game much earlier and nintendo's timing was good as it helped to boost switch awareness by being on it as that version lets you take it anywhere you wish.

Say what you want: but games drives sales of hardware and once all the other big titles come out like xenoblade, the next zelda on switch (built for switch hardware instead of wii u) Metroid, and Dark Souls collection (portable version to play on trips) it will get harder to resist buying one. If I were Ubisoft I would make a sequel to Zombi U and give the franchise one more chance. Also who here thinks a Rayman game from FP view would be good for the Switch given the waggle controls are back? Rayman has stretchy limbs and nothing connecting the fists to his body. I am surprised he isn't featured in ARMS yet as a guest character!

I think the days of making games for feminists are over as feminists are starting to go underground now Jasper. It is thanks to MGTOW helping younger boys to focus on themselves rather than chasing pussy and sacrificing their entire lives to pleasing women as if they were dogs and the women were their masters. As the economy gets worse and jobs get harder to keeop, men will have to stop competing with each other for the validation of women, and instead co-operate with each other as brothers to survive and ignore women because as Trump destroys the welfare programs for the single moms, pussy will be plentiful and men will have to beat them off with a stick (or their dicks) in order to concentrate on productive activity that benefits society or themselves. The big corporations will also start to market their products to men more in the future as a result of women not having as much money to spend than before. (globalists loved the idea of women going shopping and spending all the husbands money on perfume, jewelry, shoes, purses, clothing and other useless crap that they don't need because they were profiting from her spending the man's money and also getting into debt to the jewish banking families. Things are changing.*See video below for predictions of collapse of society and growth of MGTOW in mainstream media.

*

^lot of other MGTOW hate this guy but to his credit his predictions are starting to come true. The future generations will not put up with the abuse anymore of previous generations who put the burden on their shoulders to inherit the mess they created. They will be very angry.

Even burger flipping jobs are being reduced since new mcdonalds have touchscreens to take your orders instead of a female asking for your order at the counter. Automation will make females obsolete as sex robots become the norm and prostitutes will have to lower their prices to compete with VR porn and the sex robot revolution which replaces the need for female companionship. (women will have to go back to wearing skirts and acting feminine again instead of wearing pants and having haircuts that are designed for boys. Movies won't have masculine females pushed as hard but instead more vulnerable and caring. Kids will want to watch old sitcoms from the 80s like Bill Cosby because they want stability in their life instead of single moms going off to do anything they wish and riding the cock carousel. The radical left have had it too easy for too long. They are trying to do to whites what they did to blacks and keep them down. The elite only wanted two classes: masters and slaves. But the slaves are fighting back just like in the movie Gladiator.

Hands on impressions of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers are coming in, and the game is getting fantastic previews...

One of the biggest retro gaming & Street Fighter enthusiasts talks about his hands-on impressions of the game below, and he says it's THE BEST VERSION OF STREET FIGHTER II he has ever played - and he also goes into detail about how fantastic the controls are (even when playing in handheld mode)...

Yet another brand new hands-on impressions of the game...

Ultra Street Fighter II Nintendo Switch Hands-On: It’s Got That Lovin’ Feeling



Some people balked at the announcement of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers for Nintendo Switch earlier this year, for a few reasons. First, they weren’t too crazy about the gimmicky Way of the Hado mode that was being added, which enables players to create fireball motions against opponents in a first-person perspective. (And, yes, it is gimmicky.) And secondly, “$40 for a Street Fighter II game?! I can get a SNES and a copy of the game for that price!” (Well, maybe if the system is in poor shape – you apparently haven’t looked at the reseller market lately.)

But now that we’ve played a near final build of the game, we can actually see quite a bit of merit behind the port. Yes, it has a bit in common with the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD port that was released a little while back for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with its high-definition, hand-drawn visuals and its sharp gameplay. However, there are also some other features that warrant the purchase of Ultra, especially if you’re a Capcom fan that grew up on the series. And I know a lot of you have.

First off, I don’t think I’ve ever see a fighting game that’s been so responsive with different control types. Whether you’re using the handheld Switch set-up or a Pro Controller (if you managed to track one down), you’ll find that Ultra Street Fighter II is one of the most wonderfully handling fighting games around. Super moves come off easy (even if you use the manual settings – there’s automatic ones where you can tap a button to pull off certain moves), and the speed for each match is perfectly balanced, even if you prefer a turbo-fueled jaunt of punches and kicks. It really plays just about perfectly, and players that grew up with Street Fighter over the past few years will pick up and play without missing a beat.

There’s also something to be said about the variety of modes featured in the game. Sure, Way of the Hado seems like a one trick pony (though it is nice to think that you know how to throw a perfect fireball, in case you want to taunt your friends), but the other modes are quite meaningful. Training Mode has a lot to offer for the Street Fighter amateurs out there, as you dig into combos, throws and other moves that can help you best an opponent. Buddy Mode is also pretty cool, as you pair up two against one in certain match-ups, in a co-op sort of manner. It’s not nearly as addictive as versus, but it’s still pretty cool, especially if you pick Ken and Ryu to double-team someone.

We didn’t get to test out online features for the game just yet, as Capcom hasn’t flipped the switch, but local multiplayer is pretty cool, as you can hop into a match with a friend, just like you could in the old SNES days. Local matches are still the best, as you can yell at each other and pass around taunts, just like you did at the arcade. Can’t beat that.

I also dig the setting that lets you switch between old and new graphic styles in the game.

No matter which way you go, the game looks and sounds terrific thus far in both settings, and that’s for both on-the-go play and hooked up to a TV. We still have to test out a few more stages within the game, but, thus far, it looks like Capcom isn’t lapsing when it comes to its Switch development. And that’s a good thing.

We’ll have a final review of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers closer to its release next week. But, yeah, if you’re a fan of the game in any regard, you’ll want to dig into this, even with its slight gimmicks. Just ignore that Way of the Hado and bring your friends to fight.

I fucking can't wait to get my hands on Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers (just five days to go!!!). Only a fake Street Fighter fan like Candy Arse would pass on playing what is now THE BEST VERSION OF THE BEST STREET FIGHTER GAME EVER MADE!!!

[Candy Arse]

Yes, it has a bit in common with the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD port that was released a little while back for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

A little while back, as in NINE YEARS AGO?

HDR was quickly dropped by the competitive community, which obviously includes myself, for vanilla Super Turbo.

So Switch owners are welcome to enjoy the best version of a game people stopped caring about eight years ago

[Jasper]

What a fantastic time for Nintendo Switch fighting game fans...

Next week we have Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers - aka THE BEST VERSION OF THE BEST STREET FIGHTER GAME EVER MADE!!!

In three weeks we have ARMS - a spectacular brand new IP fighting game created by Nintendo's acclaimed Mario Kart development team.

Speaking of ARMS, here's yet another gaming website (Game Informer) - praising ARMS after their recent hands-on time with the game...

And fuck Twintelle is a sassy slut. Really looking forward to playing as her...



Something that some of you may not know about ARMS is that besides of course the multitude of arms to play around and customise your character with, there are also items that can be dropped into an arena during a fight (a bit like Super Smash Bros).

Of the many items revealed so far, i'm liking Twintelle's perfume...

Oh shit, no!

I forgot about the quirky as fuck - Helix and his character item... DILDOS!

Switch - 720p and reduced draw distance
PS4 - 1080p and full draw distance

According to Eurogamer, the Switch version is "compromised".

Paying more money for an inferior version

[Jasper]

Actually you may want to re-read that Digital Foundry article you posted above. They discuss how fucking awesome the Nintendo Switch version is, and how it even boasts a BETTER frame-rate than the PS4 version...

Switch users can rest easy - it's an impressive conversion overall. This latest Minecraft edition is based on the full-fat console experience, complete with most of the visual bells and whistles you'll find on PS4. That includes the same texture quality, features like ambient occlusion, the smooth lighting mode, and cloud rendering.

The Switch version may have a better handle on its 60fps target frame-rate overall compared to other versions - we found some detailed scenes in single-player mode where the docked Switch runs faster than PlayStation 4 running like-for-like content. Performance issues manifest more prominently in split-screen mode - as expected - but again, we found that Switch was smoother overall, with lurches down from the target 60fps less pronounced than they are on PlayStation 4.

+

The only reason the Switch version is currently 720p is because Microsoft were having some development trouble with the resolution switching process from docked to undocked (note that no other developer has run into this problem with the Switch) - but they are working on it, and are hoping to patch in 1080p sometime soon....

Minecraft on Switch isn’t constrained to 720p because of the console’s power, says Microsoft

Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition released last week in the eShop, and according to Time’s review, the game runs at 720p in both docked and handheld in mode.

But the lack of a 1080p option isn’t down to the system’s power, said Microsoft.

In a statement to Time, the company said that, “Minecraft’s 720p docked/undocked resolution isn’t a question of system power, but stems from issues currently experienced shifting from one resolution to the other when docking/undocking.”

Nonetheless, the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft is so wonderful and full of bonus content not available in other versions of Minecraft...

Review: 'Minecraft' for Nintendo Switch Is the Best Version Yet

Minecraft is available on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $30 as I type this. Having tooled around with it (versus nearly all of Minecraft's other incarnations), I can say it's arguably the finest iteration of Swedish studio Mojang's magnum opus yet.

To be clear, Minecraft for Switch's allure has more to do with Switch than Minecraft. The Switch, you're probably tiring of hearing (especially if you're still trying to find one), goes wherever you do. Drop it in its dock and Minecraft is on your TV, where it's all but analogous to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Pluck it from its cradle and it's in your hands, the experience undifferentiated save for its shift to the Switch's smaller 6.2-inch screen.

The significance of there now being a continuous TV-mobile version of Minecraft can't be overstated. At the risk of offending tablet apologists, Minecraft on smartphones and tablets is a wonderful experience marred by poor controls. This has nothing to do with Mojang or Minecraft. It's the baked-in shortcoming of any 3D first-person 360-degree control scheme yet devised for a multitouch device that lacks discrete buttons and control sticks. What makes Minecraft for smartphones and tablets so compelling is convenience. The console versions have the opposite problem: perfect controls tethered to television boat anchors.

This is what I've been wanting from Minecraft for years. It glides at a silky smooth 60 frames per second in the dock. Shift to split-screen, be it two, three or four-way, and the frame rate remains rock solid.

In handheld mode, the game looks crisp and gorgeous on the Switch's 720p screen.

The argument for Minecraft on Switch comes down to two words: continuous playability. If you prefer gamepad to keyboard/mouse or touchscreen controls (as I very much do), you're stuck with either the Windows 10 or console versions. If you prefer portability, you're stuck with either the smartphone/tablet or (less impressive) PS Vita versions. In both instances, the idea of continuous play is either impossible or involves tradeoffs.

With the Switch, the tradeoffs vanish. Screen real estate aside, you're having the same experience on an airplane, subway, or in a remote wilderness tent as when docked to your TV. Minecraft is already the finest thing I've experienced in this medium, the answer I'd probably give to the one-thing-you'd-want-on-a-deserted-island question. And thanks to Switch, it just got an order of magnitude better.

5/5 (PERFECT)

Minecraft Feels Right At Home On The Nintendo Switch



Good news! The Nintendo Switch gets its own version of Minecraft today, and it's good. In fact, it's made me want to play Minecraft more than I have in a long time.

Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition comes out this afternoon on the Nintendo eShop, with a physical version coming "at a later date." Nintendo sent us codes a couple days ago, and I've played a few hours of the game. I've had a great time. I mean, of course I have! It's Minecraft. I like Minecraft on PC, on consoles, and even in virtual reality.

It feels particularly at home on the Switch, however, and I can actually see myself playing more of this version than I have since I first bought the game on PC all those years ago.

For the most part, this version of Minecraft isn't particularly different from other console versions of the game. It runs at 60fps docked and undocked, and both versions look crisp and play well.

It supports online play for up to eight players, and split-screen local play for up to four. It comes with the standard survival mode as well as creative mode, which lets you freely build things without worrying about getting it blown up by a creeper, and minigames like battle mode, where players duke it out for bragging rights.

The Switch version comes with a Mario texture pack, as well as a bunch of Mario character skins. There's also a pretty cool pre-made Mario-themed world you can load up, which you can see in the screenshots up top.

Minecraft has always been a lot of fun in multiplayer, and I love the idea of local Minecraft co-op in particular. Switch split-screen works fine both docked and undocked, at least with two players. I was able to pop the Switch out of its dock and my two-player split-screen game kept going at what looked like a solid 60fps.

Let's put all of those bullet points and feature comparisons down for a minute, though. I really like playing Minecraft on Switch. In fact, I can easily see it becoming one of my most-played Switch games. It's fine on the big screen, and easier to play split-screen that way. That's nothing I haven't seen before. But this game is also fantastic on the go, and the Switch does on-the-go Minecraft better than I've ever seen. Tablet and phone versions don't control in a way I like, unless I want to bring along an external game controller. The Vita version is fine, but doesn't run all that well. The Switch version finally hits a sweet spot between performance, ease of use, and controls. It also looks terrific on the Switch's screen. The fact that you can play split-screen with a friend on the go is just a bonus.

The Wii U got Minecraft too late. It was such an obvious fit for the console, but by the time a port arrived in late 2015, the Wii U was already on life support. Mojang apparently decided not to make the same mistake with the Switch, and I'm glad for it. All they really needed to do here was put a good version of Minecraft on the Switch, and that's what they have done. It's a great game, made much better by the Switch's portability. For the first time in years, I think I'm going to actually sink some time into Minecraft again.

Minecraft is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch



You can play Minecraft on just about anything. There are versions of the crafting / survival game on consoles, smartphones, and PC. You can even play it in virtual reality. Each version of the game offers something slightly different; the mobile editions are slimmed down but portable, while on PC and console you have a much bigger, more feature-rich world to explore. But, six years after the game first debuted, Minecraft may have finally found its ideal platform: the Nintendo Switch.

One of the strongest selling points for the Switch is its hybrid nature. You can play it on the TV in your living room, or on the train to work. As I’ve written before, this flexibility makes the Switch ideally suited for a huge range of games. It’s much easier to get through a sprawling open world like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild when you can take it anywhere, and even smaller titles like Puyo Puyo Tetris benefit from the option.

Much like Zelda’s Hyrule, the worlds you can create and explore in Minecraft are vast and filled with secrets. When I first booted up the game on Switch, I spent some time just walking around the pre-built Super Mario world. There are warp pipes to slide down, underground caverns to trek through, and smack in the middle is a towering statue of Mario himself. After that, I hopped in a similarly prefab world based on the game’s Chinese mythology content pack, where I was able to hang out in a lovely garden and get up close with a giant dragon. Before I knew it, several hours had gone by, and I hadn’t crafted a single thing.

Minecraft is a game that works in both short sessions and lengthier ones. Once you get over exploring, you can spend hours (or days or more) creating complex new structures. Or you can spend 15 minutes mining for useful resources. And because of the customized nature of the game — where you and friends can literally build and design the world around you — it’s an experience you get very attached to. When you spend a few weeks perfecting an in-game castle, you’ll want to take it with you.

What makes the Switch work so well — not only for Minecraft, but many other games — is how seamless it is. You aren’t playing the game across devices; you’re using a device that works across a wide range of situations. There’s no fussing around with cloud saves or profile logins. The game is there, and it’s up to you to decide how, or where, you want to play it.

The Switch version also offers something no other platform can. (And I don’t just mean the ability to craft your own Mushroom Kingdom.) It’s a virtual world that fits into your life in the real one.

Yep I read that. What a steal, only $30 more for an inferior version!

Between that, a version of SF2 the FGC stopped caring about 8 years ago and a waggle fighting game you Switch owners sure are getting spoiled!

Babes, it's so transparent that the only reason you hate ARMS so much, is simply because you don't have a Nintendo Switch.

You keep trashing the game, even though it's being developed by one of Nintendo best development teams, and even when leading gaming journalists have gone hands-on with the game (unlike you) and are loving it!

I actually am beginning to worry about your mental health, because the more gems that are released on the Nintendo Switch, the closer you are to going ballistic and hoping on a plane to Nintendo HQ, and blowing up the place to smithereens.

With only about 20 days left until E3, Nintendo are of course going to showcase their future Switch masterpieces....and oh boy is your blood going to seethe when you see what Nintendo has in store for the Nintendo Switch (all of which YOU are going to miss out on)!!!

Super Mario, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, Paper Mario, F-Zero, Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Metroid, Pikmin, Wario, Pokemon, Xenoblade, Punch Out, Mario Kart, Star Fox, Super Smash Bros, Splatoon, Yoshi's Island, Pilotwings, Wave Race, Mario & Luigi RPG, Advance Wars...etc...etc

THESE FRANCHISES ARE NOW FOREVER DEAD TO YOU UNLESS YOU PURCHASE A NINTENDO SWITCH!!!...SUCK ON THAT YA FRECKLE-FACED BITCH!!!

For the record I have Minecraft on 360, PS4 and the VR version. And I've barely played them. I think the hype got to me, but I can see why it's popular.

No hate for ARMS here, I just have no interest in waggle fighting games that are aimed at casual gamers like you

Fuck me I hate you Rocco, I can't visit this shit storm of a thread anymore because it just destroys my mobile data. You make it real hard to want to be a Nintendo fan. Reddit it is for Nintendo news.

If you are one of the guys that know the underpowered Switch is over priced hardware, just keep an eye on the Kogan website. The last 2 days at 2pm they have sold the Switch for $375 for a 1 hour flash sale. Be quick though cause the stock don't last long.

This thread is NOT a mere thread, but instead an EXPERIENCE!

It's supposed to be outrageously chock-full of bright & colourful in your fucking face screenshots, videos, gifs, and up to date news, reviews, alerts of sales/bargains on Nintendo Switch games/hardware, etc.

If this EXPERIENCE is "destroying" your mobile data, then you really need to change your phone plan or add a data pack. How much data do you get a month at present...let me guess, 200MB?

You mean the same exact one hour "flash sale" Kogan have had in the past for both PS4 and XB1?

Good luck scoring a Nintendo Switch that way. A shitload of people online are bitching about the Switch being sold out within the first minutes of the one hour sale. Some were even all the way through the transaction process and entering their credit card details, when it rejected their purchase because they ran out of stock!

Cool the fire sales have already started! Will see if I can get one when they drop below $200

No one comes in here for Nintendo news anyway, Jasper posts nothing but worthless shit and trollbait, he's completely incapable of serious gaming discussion since he doesn't actually play games.

You come in here to troll the shit out of him like everyone else
