liger05 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I'm thinking Ubisoft made it mistake not getting Rayman legends out during launch window. I think 3rd parties in general I thinking there is money left on the table. Now is the time to push software.

liger05 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Rayman Legends...Christ, I forgot they were still bringing this game to Switch! Yep pretty unbelievable. Baffled why that and steep are not out already.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Yep pretty unbelievable. Baffled why that and steep are not out already. Given that Steep has a strong online component, I wouldn't be surprised if it got pushed back until the Nintendo paid service launches. I'm still not expecting strong AAA Western support, despite the high sales of the console. Luckily the indie and Japanese support should be very strong.

True and I still don't know what they will do about always online. The western support can come from outside AAA titles. The GameCube never got every 3rd party multi platform game but it got enough, especially at the beginning.. I still think Nintendo should of said to Rockstar how much for GTA V

I still think Nintendo should of said to Rockstar how much for GTA V The difference is this time there is a huge gap in power and a lot of Western games have strong online components. If these aren't up to scratch on the Switch then many developers may not bother. The smaller AA games made by larger western studios were a thing back in the Cube era but with the arrival of HD many of these smaller studios couldn't cope with the rise in development costs and closed down. These type of games have now been replaced by the indies, which look to be well up for supporting the console.

I do think the Western studios will want to make some money from the install base and the cost to develop will be comparably lower at a time when the PS4 Pro and Scorpio will increase developments costs again with the focus on 4K. This will hopefully mean a handful of well developed Switch exclusive titles rather than just ports. That or a boat load of shovel ware!
Ronnie Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I've somehow not played Rayman Legends yet even though I'm really hyped for it, really glad it's coming to Switch.
Ashley Posted May 1, 2017 Author Posted May 1, 2017 I've somehow not played Rayman Legends yet even though I'm really hyped for it, really glad it's coming to Switch. How!?!? It's a fantastic game though, easily one of my favourites of last generation. I recommended it to a colleague recently who has two kids (around 4-6 years old) and he now hates me because his kids are always on it.
nekunando Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I think I'm going to have to put something inside my dock as I'm getting those common scratches up the sides of the screen
Shorty Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I bought a screen protector and I was thinking, I don't really want to put the thing on my screen just to protect it from the dock.... then I wondered if I could just turn it round and stick it to the inside of the dock instead.... But would the front of a screen protector damage a screen?? :p
Hero-of-Time Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I think I'm going to have to put something inside my dock as I'm getting those common scratches up the sides of the screen Have you checked if your dock is bent? It's most likely this is what's causing the markings.
V. Amoleo Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I think I'm going to have to put something inside my dock as I'm getting those common scratches up the sides of the screen I've ordered this. It hasn't arrived yet though so I can't vouch for it yet. And at £8.15 it's a bit pricey for the raw materials, but at least I haven't had to make it myself! It's also the cheapest plain cover available on eBay. Well it was yesterday. My dock hasn't scratched my screen but I'm just worried if it's ever in the dock and the dock gets moved.

I think I'll try to make something myself though as I don't want to cover the front panel It's unfortunate that there's already very minor damage but I'll try to get on top of it before it gets worse. My TV stand isn't suited to the Switch, sadly, so I'm constantly sliding the unit forward and back and sliding the console in and out at a slight angle, even though I'm extremely careful!
liger05 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Although the person who sent the assets asked us not to share them, they corroborate the existence of a bizarre crossover RPG that’s currently scheduled to come to Switch in either August or September. Ubisoft is developing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle on the publisher’s proprietary Snowdrop engine, according to the assets we’ve seen. The game’s selling points appear to be a) turn-based combat, b) two-player local co-op, and c) a goofy sense of humor. (The art we’ve seen features Mario and crew wielding laser beams.) The game will apparently have eight playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and, bizarrely, four Rabbids dressed up as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach. http://kotaku.com/source-the-rumored...ing-1794849712

I have one of these: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/522656565/nintendo-switch-cover-switch-case-switch?ref=market Absolutely love it. Looks the bees knees whilst being practical protecting my Switch.

Decent? You have to like all these games to be happy with that release list. Nintendo systems are weak on that front. Expect dissapointments as well as surprises. Should be quite afew 3rd party announcements at e3.

Expect dissapointments as well as surprises. Should be quite afew 3rd party announcements at e3. "You have to like games to be happy with a release schedule" surely not. Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Arms, Splatoon, Xenoblade etc all in the space of ten months, so yes, decent is putting it mildly.

If you only like Zelda then it's a shit release schedule.
Ronnie Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Well obviously. I was speaking generally, not saying that every single person will like all of those games. Anyway, nice mix of genres too. Action/adventure, platformer, racer, fighter, shooter, JRPG.
Sheikah Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 It makes me wonder what there will be left to release next year. Apart from the delayed Xenoblade, obviously.
Ronnie Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Metroid, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Pikmin 4...? (I forgot Fire Emblem Warriors in Q4 this year as well)
ArtMediocre Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I just hope they're gonna blow us away around E3. I won't hold my breath though, but a good RPG that I can sink loads of hours into (Maybe the announced Tales Of-game, or Xenoblade) and Hyrule Warriors will last a few months with my gaming habits. @Ronnie, I wouldn't be so bold as to mention Metroid, or Retro Studios even. They've been silent a long time. Any activity should be taken as a nice surprise, but don't list it as something that's coming.
