NINTENDO SWITCH Official Discussion v2: Nintendo's Big Comeback Starter Pack

[lakersfan45]

Is it possible to transfer virtual console purchases from Wii U to the switch? I would consider getting a switch sooner if I could. Would love to play my virtual console downloads when I'm in the backyard

Got my Pro Controller yesterday and it feels soooo good. I still think the 360 is the goat, but this right up there in the same caliber. It's a little thicker on the top which kind of surprised me, but I really like it since my fingers sit on the bumper/triggers really well.

My only real complaint about the XB1 controller is they moved the bumpers just a hair, so I have to angle my fingers up a little bit to hit the bumpers and when using them a lot it gets a little uncomfortable.

I need to put in some more time with the Pro Controller but so far I like it more than the XB1 for sheer comfort/ergonomics. As I stand now PS4 > Switch Pro > XB1. I know people have mixed feelings on the Dual Shock 4, but I love it and it's a HUGE upgrade from the DS3.

I like DS4, but I don't like how the triggers tend to feel so much more sensitive. Like just a set down and they trigger. Xbox 360 vs Switch Pro...I might have to go with Switch due to it's battery life, though the 360 controller was one of the best damned controllers of all time.

Very much hope so. Trying to remember if the Switch screen is touch based to play Year Walk and Color Zen though those could be adjusted for without.

Add to that the almost 80 hour battery life, gyroscope, and HD rumble. Awesome controller. Sony needs to learn Nintendo's secret to battery life for controllers.

Maaaaaaaaan they better not be messing with me here. It looks like an NBA Jam type game, and if it is then this, Mario Kart, and Zelda will be enough for me to go out and pick up a Switch TODAY!!!!

I didn't see an exact release date, just May 2017.

The game is a return to the arcade-style basketball games of yesterday, like NBA Street and NBA Jam. Officially licensed by the NBA, the game features players both active and retired, with Allen Iverson facing off against modern ballers Steph Curry and George Hill in the opening of the trailer.

Every NBA team is featured in NBA Playgrounds, and the "roster of current and retired" players can be leveled-up. Keeping inline with its arcade-style roots, Playgrounds features "hundreds of over-the-top dunks and moves."

Playgrounds can be played solo, local-multiplayer, or "against the world" online.

Developed by Saber Interactive, CEO Matt Karch calls it accessible enough for anyone to pick up and play, but it still has "a lot of depth for hardcore pros who’ve mastered their game."

The return of high-flying, cartoonish arcade basketball hits Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One next month as a digital-download for $20 USD.

$20?! Yup...I'm all over it. Though a part of me is worried it's so cheap and will be shallow. I guess I could get it for Ps4 or XB1, but the idea of playing this on a portable seems really appealing to me.

Actually looks pretty damn good. Reminds me a bit of Bravely Default with it's art style.

I was so disappointed with I am Setsuna. I thought it was an actual turn based JRPG but it has that stupid ATB system shit. I tried but no matter what I do I can't get into it.

Can't wait. REALLLY hoping for a release date for Splatoon 2.

 

[HairdewX]

Link to today's Nintendo Direct



Hoping we get some kind of info on the Virtual Console but I'm not getting my hopes up for that yet. More Splatoon 2 footage and a release date will suffice.

 

[Dinkin_Flicka]

Yeah, I'd love to here some info on the VC. I read a few weeks back that Secret of Mana was going to be one of the first titles to hit and I can't wait to coop that with my kid. Then I'll have him play when I'm gone and he can do all the grinding of Weapons/Magic.
