Ashley Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 It's interesting how well the Switch is doing in Europe compared to PS4 given the European Sony market is typically stronger for them than America. Although the stock levels mean we might see a big spike followed by a big drop off before stock balances. Although I'm not surprised by the Zelda attach rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The attach rate really isn't a surprise but those numbers are quite reassuring! I still wanna see what comes of it(probs after the online/app stuff is detailed) but I'm feeling quite positive that it's getting decent sales - the bigger the install base the better I feel about getting content for the system going forwards. Can't recall who posted it(Jamba?) but the post somewhere about Indies' opinions on Nintendo is also quite reassuring - I expected much more from what they were touting re: their partnerships and unity etc for WiiU; seems that maybe that laid some foundation for what we might hopefully see for Switch.

Nicktendo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Anyone remember what noises Nintendo were making at the Wii U's launch? I wasn't around back then on the forum but what was the spin Nintendo put on the launch, especially considering you could still walk into a store and pick one up?

LegoMan1031 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 My local ASDA has actually got a small section for the switch! The WiiU NEVER had a section and the only game I ever saw in there was mario kart 8 tucked in with Wii games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't around back then on the forum but what was the spin Nintendo put on the launch, especially considering you could still walk into a store and pick one up? Looking back through emails there was nothing mentioned by Nintendo (as commented in this Eurogamer article), and the machine was estimated to sell around 40,000 units in the UK in the first 48 hours (MCV). And @Rummy it may not have been this one, but this is similar to what you were asking about: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/293404/Whats_it_like_developing_for_the_Switch_9_indie_studios_weigh_in.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm sure it was @Jamba that told me there is some weird rights issue regarding that game outside Japan... Not me bruv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So I managed to lock the switch so it stopped asking me about users. I've just added a Japanese account and now it's asking me all the time again... and I can't find the setting to turn it off. It's so stupid it asks you to switch users like this. Just awful. Let us pick a user and stick with that. Maybe press r and click if we want to switch users or something useful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamba Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm really looking forward to Mario Kart. Really think that the Switch will start coming into it's own at that point. Btw, has anyone had a friends request from someone just called "V"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm sure it was @Jamba that told me there is some weird rights issue regarding that game outside Japan... The Tetris Company has a license with Ubisoft and they have some sort of deal for exclusive rights for Tetris games on PSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Think I might have to rearrange my HDMI cables as it seems having the Switch connected to the HDMI switcher when I'm using the PS4 (also in the same switcher) is messing things about a bit and the PS4 feed keeps cutting out for a few seconds. I assume there must be enough power going through the Switch in sleep mode that it confuses things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bugging me enough that I think I might just drop the Japanese account. Even if the Tetris demo is pretty fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sméagol Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 You guys could all save us the effort by naming your profiles after your forum names. For the sake of (future) multiplayer games I did, although I usually have a different name for device profile names / save slots etc (just my initials). Or you could add your Switch name to the spreadsheet if it's not obvious. Thought of doing that, but then decided to change my name to my forum name. Made some additions to the sheet though. I haven't gotten around to adding people yet, though I had some friend requests myself. I didn't confirm a few who I didn't recognize, so add your Switch profile name to the spreadsheet. Anyone mind if I just create a thread for friend codes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
