Goafer Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 There's also LED lights on the inside to show which player you are Plus, if you ask the Switch nicely enough, it'll apparently point to player one for you.
killthenet Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Kimishima talked about accessories being a big part of their business plan during their last investors meeting so I'm sure we'll see GameCube joy cons eventually. It appears that there's going to be a remaster/port of LA Noire to PS4, Xbox One and Switch. What are you guys thoughts on it? I recently played through it on PS3 and enjoyed it, it's not the kind of game I can see myself playing again but I'll likely buy it if it comes to Switch to show Rockstar there is an audience for their games on Nintendo hardware.
Dcubed Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Can't see the LA Noire remaster being real, least of all on Switch. Who would even make it? Team Bondi is no more. It also got a very poor reception post release (all the stuff about it was great, except for the gameplay itself). Nothing about this supposed remaster makes any sense.
Sheikah Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 LA Noire was...pretty meh to be honest. I just remember it being pretty frustrating as the body language didn't always seem to match up with the correct choice to make.
Julius Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Really hoping for some Wii ports on the eShop/Virtual Console this time around. Skyward Sword and Xenoblade Chronicles, anyone?

L.A Noire is one of my absolute favourite games ever. I would jump at the chance to play through that again. It was so unlike anything else I thought it was a really unique gameplay experience. Day one of it does come out for me.
bob Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 They should call it the Nintendo Port-ch, amiright?
Grazza Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Happy to hear Grazza! I look forward to sharing those amazing BOTW moments within a few weeks...! I wouldn't even class myself as a 'positive' guy, but I have this great feeling about the Switch that I can't shake off. So much potential for never before seen experiences - one of them, as you mentioned, having essentially a portable Wii U. Yep, can't wait, although I think mine's going to arrive a few days later than the people who got in early. I was going to put my BotW progress on Miiverse and share the screenshots, but... you know.
Julius Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 They should call it the Nintendo Port-ch, amiright? But surely the ports are being SWITCHed over to the Switch anyway?

Seems a strange game to remaster to be honest. Dunno why Rockstar just don't release GTA V on switch.
Grazza Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 EDIT: Didn't actually finish this post before posting - for those who are intending to get a Switch on launch - how does this, if at all, affect any decisions/thoughts you have on it? It's a bit disappointing, although I wanted that version anyway. Fully expecting a "want to PLAY GameCube VC games, you can buy this GameCube joy-con" along the lines of the mock ups we've seen. Available in Spice Orange or Purple. Please note: GameCube VC games will not work with the standard joy-cons. RRP: £49.99 If the standard Switch doesn't have analogue triggers, and these hypothetical GameCube Joy-cons could, you might actually be right!!

Retro_Link Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Seems a strange game to remaster to be honest. Dunno why Rockstar just don't release GTA V on switch. Possibly as with Titanfall, the game just wouldn't fit on the console?
Happenstance Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Possibly as with Titanfall, the game just wouldn't fit on the console? Difference is that GTA V had a last gen version as well already
V. Amoleo Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 This is going to be a massively boring question but does anybody know the rating of the Nintendo Switch power supply?
Ronnie Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 That game sucked. Nobody is asking for a remaster of that. Except for the person you're quoting, for a start?
Rummy Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Dunno why Rockstar just don't release GTA V on switch. Would it be fair to call GTA one of the biggest gaming brands/series out there? It's big business - if you looked at the Switch would you want to run the risk of bringing your product to it to fail, or possibly not perform as well as you'd like it to? The parallel I'd consider drawing is that of the PS3/360/WiiU WatchDogs compared to the PS4/XBone/PC ones? I only ever played the PS4 version but I heard the latter collection were superior in a couple of ways to the former. Possibly as with Titanfall, the game just wouldn't fit on the console? Orrrr....something simple like this instead maybe :p
dazzybee Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 But a portable GTA 5, even if in some areas was "weaker" would still be really impressive and offering something that's never been offered before. Also, and this relates to something me and @Hero\-of\-Time was talking about in the "other" board, but all the adverts Nintendo have made so far have been really focussing on portable play, even the initial reveal trailer was; so even though they say it's their next home consoles, they are marketing it as a portable. Which I think is right; it's what is most impressive about it; it's more incredible the more I think about it. A handheld which can handle breath of the wild, Mario kart 8, splatoon etc. It's ridiculous when you think about it!
V. Amoleo Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Is the Titanfall quote that is being thrown around the one which originated on Drunk Tech Review? Because, maybe it's just the way I'm reading the posts, but some people here seem to be taking that literally. As in, there's not enough storage space. But the dev was definitely on about the system being underpowered when compared to the current generation of consoles. I thought by now we were over wanting ports of competing consoles games. Getting third parties to make games tailored for the console means we get more interesting games rather than the 'same-old'. Yeah, it means we get less games. But quality is better than quantity. This rumoured Rabbids/Mario RPG sounds interesting. I wonder when we'll hear more about it.

That's what I said in my preview from the press event; if this was being marketed as a portable console not only might people be able to forgive a few shortcomings, we would also being saying this might be an absolute game changer for the the industry with something like BOTW releasing ON A HANDHELD! As it is, it will naturally be compared to the other home console systems!
bob Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 This is going to be a massively boring question but does anybody know the rating of the Nintendo Switch power supply? 7/10 ___________
Rummy Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 7/10 ___________ Should have gone for the 8/10 Why were you asking @V\. Amoleo and whilst I don't have the answer are you talking about a mains charger for the switch or the power supply to the dock? I imagine there will be a difference between the two - Switch is supposedly USB-C iirc though so I imagine any charger there would be similar to other USB devices?

I imagine there will be a difference between the two - Switch is supposedly USB-C iirc though so I imagine any charger would meet be similar to other USB devices? Yeah both the dock and Switch are USB C connectors. I was just wondering if it'd run directly from a wall socket that I have with USB outs so that I don't have to have yet another plug in an extension. They're rated at 1.5amp which is enough to charge an iPad. Just seems weird to imagine powering a console from it.

They're rated at 1.5amp which is enough to charge an iPad. Just seems weird to imagine powering a console from it. Ahhh! Hadn't realised they both were but that makes good sense. Do agree it seems a bit weird charging a console off USB - but will it somehow use both the battery's power in addition to the 'mains' power supplied to the dock? I don't even know the logistics of that if particularly possible. Can you figure out from the battery/charge time? I can't find very much info with a little look around - tho tbh terms like 'power' and 'switch' aren't the best unique search terms and ESPECIALLY not so in context of each other Apparently the battery is like 4310mAh capacity, and takes around 3 hours to charge supposedly. Can you just divide the capacity by charge time to get an output current? Obvs need to consider inefficiencies in the transformations too but still those numbers don't feel quite right to me; so I'm sure I've made a poor leap in my logic somewhere. What's supposed to be the max output of USB according to the standard? I understand there's the 'power only' output that's higher too, but again my knowledge of the subject on the whole is still lacking!
Aneres11 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 That game sucked. Nobody is asking for a remaster of that. Well I'd buy it so I guess someone is. Is this where we argue for 4 pages over who's opinion is right or wrong? This is the Switch thread after all. Also, it didn't suck. It was reviewed pretty well and whilst it may not have been to your personal tastes, a lot of people enjoyed it.
