Ronnie Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Zelda, Splatoon 2, Arms, MK8 Deluxe, Xenoblade 2 and Mario Odyssey all in the space of ten months sounds pretty good to me from a first party perspective. They'll all be great to amazing. That's also not including any unannounced games yet to be revealed, of which there will be at E3.
Happenstance Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Well now, how about some good news about a good game (or two, technically!) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1342046 Puyo Puyo Tetris comes out April 28th in Europe! (And there's a snazzy new trailer below) Still can't believe that we're finally getting it! And on Switch no less! I almost imported it last year. Giant Bomb were big fans of it and it looked a lot of fun.
Dcubed Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I almost imported it last year. Giant Bomb were big fans of it and it looked a lot of fun. Same. I've played the PS3 demo and it's a ton of fun. Been looking to get it on import for a long time but the import prices are still crazy, even 5-6 years on! Couldn't think of a more ideal console for it though than Switch. Everything surrounding this game's localisation is just crazy and a downright miracle! Can't wait to finally get it! Been waiting a long time! Edited February 8, 2017 by Dcubed
S.C.G Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Puyo Puyo Tetris comes out April 28th in Europe! (And there's a snazzy new trailer below) Still can't believe that we're finally getting it! And on Switch no less! Yep, I'm really happy about this! In fact, I was so happy to see the pre-order options for physical versions on Switch and PS4 on ShopTo today that I pre-ordered BOTH in the end. But then I would have bought this at £50 nevermind debating buying it at just over £30 so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. So if anyone wants to challenge me online on either version when the time comes then just say the word. :awesome:
bob Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 How many first party games did the PS4 or Xbone have out in their first 10 months? Exactly. Switch is da best.
Kav Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Has anyone got any Switch carry cases ordered? I'm looking for one to get for sure but would like a good browse first.
Clownferret Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Oh he'll yeah! I love both of these games. 4 player tetras on N64 wereally some of my favourite gaming moments. Before I get too excited at possibilities is this online?

But I'ms till part staggered, part utterly disgusted that this is £10 more than the PS4 version... can anyone give a good reason other than fucking over Nintendo players. For a change?! On shopto the switch version is £13 more expensive!!!! For no fucking reason. Also, does this have straight versions of each game or is it always mixed? Oh he'll yeah! I love both of these games. 4 player tetras on N64 wereally some of my favourite gaming moments. Before I get too excited at possibilities is this online? Yep! Certainly is.

Before I get too excited at possibilities is this online? Yes it is. All versions of it support online play. Looks great, I'll get it on switch. But I'ms till part staggered, part utterly disgusted that this is £10 more than the PS4 version... can anyone give a good reason other than fucking over Nintendo players. For a change?! On shopto the switch version is £13 more expensive!!!! For no fucking reason. Probably because of the extra cost associated with printing a Switch Game Card VS a disc. The digital version on Switch is actually cheaper in the US and is the same price as the PS4 physical version (there is no digital PS4 version due to licensing issues with Ubisoft). Also, does this have straight versions of each game or is it always mixed? Yes you can play them as individual games if you want. Edited February 8, 2017 by Dcubed
Happenstance Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 It'll depend on the pricing for me. I probably would prefer to get it digitally on the Switch as its a game I expect I'd play more handheld if I had the choice but if Nintendo are charging too much for it on their store then I'll just have to get it elsewhere.
Rob3008 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Am I missing something here? Why are people willing to pay so much for another version of Tetris?!
S.C.G Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Am I missing something here? Why are people willing to pay so much for another version of Tetris?! Because it's Puyo Puyo Tetris! It's two of the greatest puzzle games in one plus so much more. You could even say that it's a Puzzle-Fusion game in the way it combines the best elements from both series from the looks of it. In any case, I haven't really, properly played a new title in the series since Puyo Pop Fever on the GameCube so this is a more than welcome addition.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 If I hear anyone call the switch a pure gaming machine over PS4 and Xbox one I will slap them. The measurements for a games machine is the games. Pure gaming machine slogans are pointless if you do not back it up with games. Who called it a pure gaming machine over those consoles? You seem vehemently opposed to Nintendo's practices... I presume you won't be buying a Switch?
Ashley Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Who called it a pure gaming machine over those consoles? You seem vehemently opposed to Nintendo's practices... I presume you won't be buying a Switch? In fairness he said "if anyone calls it..." which suggests nobody is at present.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 In fairness he said "if anyone calls it..." which suggests nobody is at present. I've noticed that most of your "in fairness" /"to be fair" responses are usually used as a (mostly impartial) protective mechanism for select viewpoints... I'm sure the member can speak for himself.

I'm sure the member can speak for himself. Sometimes I find that people become so wrapped up in their own views or are made to 'defend' views that it leads to misunderstandings or an unnecessary spiralling so I try and see things from different perspectives and, as an admin, try and help facilitate conversation and (hopefully) improve cohesion amongst members. People can of course speak for themselves and I never intend to make it seem like they can't or shouldn't. But thanks for criticising my attempt to help I guess And in this particular case, his message was quite clear and you critiqued it for something it wasn't in a seeming attempt to have a go. I was trying to help balance the conversation and politely show what had been said, rather than what you had inferred been said.

Ashley, apologies if you are seeking to create balance - sorry if I came off harsh. @khilafah 's message came after the conversation about Switch not having a browser and other additionals. I called it a 'pure gaming machine' - his message got some praise and was related, so I responded. Not trying to have a go, trying to find clarity. But with regards to inferring, I appreciate you're the Moderator, but Im sure we're mostly adult and accustomed enough to question viewpoints without interjection. Least of all myself - I'm one of the least trollsome and balanced IMHO. Edited February 8, 2017 by King_V

I presume you won't be buying a Switch? I have it on pre order just like all other Nintendo consoles. I always buy them. Some Nintendo practises suck yes just like some Sony and MS practises do. None are perfect. I never accused anyone of calling it a pure gaming machine over other consoles. Just made a point that if anyone does they are getting a slap. Lol Edited February 8, 2017 by khilafah

Im curious to know what has attracted you to preorder - and yes, its because most of your posts I see seem to tinge on the side of dislike or constant critique of Nintendo. Im just curious and not trying to stealth assault you!

Im just curious and not trying to stealth assault you! Nah it's cool. Nintendo just frustrate me dude. With everything brilliant they do with game development it's the other stuff which annoys me. I love Nintendo games! The switch hardware I love and I am real excited to be able to play Zelda on the go in portable mode. Gonna be amazing.

But the Switch hype has me feeling differently.... @Ashley - see, we cool.

Yes you can play them as individual games if you want. That doesn't make sense, the cost is minimal, and 3ds games were always much cheaper than console games. It's just fucking us over. And the us digital reduction is amazing, but is it true that doesn't apply in eu or U.K.? Again, getting fucked over for no reason. The whole thing is really souring it for me. It's irritttating me probably far more than it should. Great news on being able to play each game on its own though.
khilafah Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Disappointed Sega not releasing the 3DS version of puyo puyo Tetris in the West.
Londragon Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Has anyone got any Switch carry cases ordered? I'm looking for one to get for sure but would like a good browse first. Check out PlayAsia, they got some nice Japan only carry cases for reasonable prices http://www.play-asia.com/eva-pouch-for-nintendo-switch-red/13/70avz1 I quite like this one that forgoes length for depth; Edit: On other news, I've decided to get a Japanese Switch. If the OS language can't be changed to English, so be it. As long as I can use my UK eShop, which I know I can, then that's all that matters. Getting more excited now, that it's a March buy, not an August one for me. Edited February 9, 2017 by londragon
