Kav Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 https://www.konami.com/games/bomberman/r/us/en/page/controller/ Looks like Switch officially supports at least 8 Joycons being connected to one Switch! With the right setup, you could theoretically have 64 player local games Battlefield!!! Haha, I wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I played Super Mario Kart again with my brother last night and it makes me excited to have it at such convenience again on Switch with countless other classics Obviously I haven't got the console yet and we're missing loads of information but I feel like I'll be going to town on the Switch Virtual Console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Is anyone worried by the fact that they only mention "re-linking" to a console. Could very easily mean that it only applies to games bought on that console (so, if you delete the account and then add it back, you can access your games again). Doesn't confirm that you can easily move stuff to another console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'd be amazed if this isn't one of the games they add online multiplayer to as a perk for the online subscription. That would be awesome but where did this information about online support in old titles originally come from? I've heard it mentioned a number of times (always referencing Super Mario Kart ) but still seem to have something in my head telling me that it may all have emerged from a misinterpretation.. Playing multiplayer in Super Mario Kart is one of my absolute favourite things to do in gaming, particularly taking on the challenge of beating 150cc together! To have the opportunity to experience it more regularly thanks to online play would be a dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londragon Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 That would be awesome but where did this information about online support in old titles originally come from? From their Official website; Monthly game download Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.

nekunando Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 From their Official website; Happy days Hopefully online play will be added to some N64 titles too, even if those aren't available as a free game for subscribers on a given month! I also hope the online options are somehow seamlessly incorporated into the original menus of their respective games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I also hope the online options are somehow seamlessly incorporated into the original menus of their respective games That would be very cool. It seems like quite a lot of work to implement online into NES/SNES games, should be fun to see how they go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazzeL Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'd call it an exaggeration, and suggest that anyone who disliking aspects of it give the Xbox One UI a spin. Even on the S it's sluggish and prone to freezing/stuttering and menus are even more convoluted to me. As long as the UI is functional I can't say I care much. But for me functionality includes running smoothly. I really don't agree with this. As an Xbox One user more than any other gaming platform, if the Switch UI and features came even slightly close then I can guarantee everyone in here would be delighted. It's not particularly sluggish for me, even on an old original X1, and I don't find it convulated at all. It certainly is packed with features though and in no way does simplicity or speed justify no friends lists, achievements etc. We might be surprised yet but there's simplicity because of clever design and then there's simplicity because of it being very basic. Hopefully the former! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipso facto they are tied to devices, not accounts. It's all well and good saying it's been linked to accounts for years, but if that account is linked to a device it means diddly squat.

It's all well and good saying it's been linked to accounts for years, but if that account is linked to a device it means diddly squat. Not really ipso facto. the account can be unlinked from the device and then linked to a different device. The software would follow the account. So it doesn't really mean diddly squat. just almost.

killthenet Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Capcom gave a talk at the Game Creators Conference in Japan earlier and some interesting tidbits about Switch development came out of it. Initially Nintendo were going to put less RAM in the device but at the request of Capcom (and presumably other devs) they increased the amount to 4GB. Capcom also stated that it only took them 2 man-months to port their engine MT Framework to the Switch, compared with 15 & 16 man months for the Wii U and 3DS respectively, so development for the Switch seems much simpler than for past consoles. It was also revealed that Switch dev kits cost about 50,000 yen ($500 US) so the point of entry is much lower for indie developers than the $2500 + that it cost to develop for the Wii U, so there are a lot of positive signs.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 @killthenet Thats absolutely brilliant, its almost at a 'no-brainer' point to port or create games for the Switch if thats the case. Capcom though, have they ever giving a reason as to why they didn't port RE7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a portable console just take it with you. The main thing people want is to be able to move games to a replacement console without relying on customer support. Not really ipso facto. the account can be unlinked from the device and then linked to a different device. We'll need to wait for Nintendo to clarify that. The fine print people are posting doesn't state that you can, it's vague and open for interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they don't build it into the Wii U. I can see a few reasons but... yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
