Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

Different Kingdoms/Worlds each with different mechanics. No power-ups, instead Mario throws his hat to attack enemies and can also use his hat to control/become that enemy and use it's abilities to solve puzzles and obstacles. Still lots of platforming and collecting obviously.

More in the vein of Mario 64/Galaxy than 3D World.

I didn't watch. What was new about it? Other than the usual platform stuff we have seen in the other games?

You can possess things like Satan.



Also they teamed up with Valve for hats.

Word on the street is that Monster Hunter World is a mainline MH game and that Monster Hunter XX isn't getting released on the Switch outside of Japan.

It's a good plan, you can ask for the first good games next fathers day.

You guys are doing it wrong. You get your kids games and systems for xmas and birthdays and you ask for shit they don't want for your days. If you want to play their shit just ground them on trumped up charges.

So I kind of liked what I saw about Xenoblade 2 in regards to combat and the general large world, but the character designs are just so awful lol. =/ I was a little disappointed with Chronicles X but if this game is more like the first in the story department I could probably get over the designs.

Xeno games have always had awful character designs, I don't know why.

I don't think the problem is the characters themselves (outside of the main guy's outfit, I like the helmet but the shorts are weird) but that the main character is a kid.

The adult characters look pretty kewl.

So Capcom just basically dicked the Switch.

All they said is they have nothing to announce, not that it's not getting localized.

Completely transitioning Monster Hunter from handheld to console would be one of the dumbest things Capcom has ever done, and they have done a lot of dumb things. Consoles are dead in Japan, and that's where the vast majority of MH consumers are. Unless they think MH World is somehow going to explode in popularity in the West unlike any previous MH title has.

So which is it? Is the fucking Switch a handheld or not? When people complained about it's lackluster power the defense force were all quick to pull the handheld angle, now that one of the premiere handheld titles isn't going to see the light of day outside Japan it's only a console. Seriously, make up your minds.

Oh, and if it's only a console and consoles are dead in Japan, why is Japan the only place in the world getting a Switch version? And if it's a handheld why isn't it getting released everywhere like every other handheld version? The spin is making me dizzy, I can't keep up with the excuses anymore.

Nintendo is like a religion. When they stopped producing the NES classic is was because they were transitioning those foxconn lines to Switch lines to ramp up production lol! Or it was because the rumored SNES Classic. There is an excuse for every single fucking thing Nintendo does or doesn't do. All bases are covered and it is never Nintendo is fucking retarded. No cloud saves? Who cares lol if the game is good enough you play through it again! Getting Desync? How fucking dare you have a glass coffee table or an aquarium! They even cited that horseshit article about Nintendo flying Switches that provided zero fucking numbers or where they went or how many or any god damn proof of anything. It was all speculation with fill in the blanks nonsense by writers who know nothing about shipping by air or the costs.

The post directly above mine. I should have quoted it but because they were successive posts it seemed pretty evident what I was replying to.

Well then I guess I don't get your argument. He is making no claims as to what the switch is or isn't.
