Nintendo Switch (NX)

If you like Musou games at all, I highly recommend Fire Emblem Warriors.

In general, I also recommend Golf Story.

Report: Nintendo Delaying Production Of 64GB Switch Carts To 2019.

every time i have the means to get one and think to myself, 'you know, you've earned yourself a switch' it's a lie and i've done nothing to deserve it

it always seems to be when there's a global stock shortage on switches and you can only get them from resellers price gouging

but there's switch lites everywhere so maybe i will just get that

 

[Strangelove]

so i ordered a switch lite, but then decided that i should wait for the original model to get back in stock so i cancelled it

but now i'm like, actually maybe i should just get a lite because i cba having to be super vigilant for them being back in stock online before someone else get them all. but also, having the two modes would be nice (and i want the brain training game which needs a regular switch to fully work) and i could sell/gift the lite later when there are regular switches in the world again

but also maybe i shouldn't buy one right now

or should i

 

[Strangelove]

oops i did buy a switch lite

there's a bunch of picross games for the switch and i can't wait

 

[Strangelove]

should i now buy full priced animal crossing, even though i've never played one before so don't know if i'll even like it

or should i just get another copy of ffvii

 

[looneymoon]

I really liked New Leaf and sunk a lot of life into it. I dunno if I can do that commitment again with New Horizons, but it is very enjoyable.

Well, it depends - what kind of experience would you want to get out of / expect from AC?
(Damn, usually when I type AC, I think Advent Children)

 

[Strangelove]

i just see people going around catching spiders and decorating a little house and complaining about smug villagers and i want that

i might download and try out the phone app, even though i heard it wasn't great/lots of annoying microtransaction stuff

or i could get the 3ds one which is cheaper now, but that means playing on my 3ds with the broken hinge and if you don't hold it right the screen falls off

also it's annoying that you can't use foreign credit/debit cards on the e shop because the japanese store has more picross games and a new mojipittan. you could do it on the 3ds so now i have to use the 3ds store to add funds to buy stuff on the switch. which is a hassle.

Don't bother with the mobile version. I thought Animal Crossing would lend itself well to mobile, but it contains maybe 1/10th of the charm of the actual mainline games. I gave it up after about a week. If you were gonna start with the series, I would say go ahead and just get the newest one.

Honestly every time I hear someone talking about playing it, I get a big pang of fomo it's a very quiet, relaxing game time. perfect for those quarantine blues.

i want this heckin bad but only have 320 points

but it looks like you can get points from nintendo mobile apps, including 300 for just linking your nintendo account

and i really want that zelda picross so i guess i am downloading some apps


also it took me ages to set up my switch account because every time it asked for details i was putting in my 3ds ones thinking they were the name. yet it's not. i thought it'd be like the psn accounts (which i've used on 4 different consoles, same account). why do i need a separate account for each console lol

 

[Strangelove]

i just had a fruit picnic with an eagle and i think we can now wear matching outfits?

so i'm growing more interested in the main game

390 points until i can get the zelda picross

 

[Strangelove]

i got my zelda picross thanks to the animal crossing app

also me and my eagle bro have matching shirts and pants but i only had one set and i didn't realise i need two for us both to wear them. so i have this pink shirt but my pants match



if this eagle is in the switch one i will buy it tonight

(there's an offer where you can get two game downloads for a discounted price but you need to have nintendo online. but i might try that and get animal crossing and bayonetta 2)

I think that's Apollo and he is in New Horizons. You can buy his amiibo card to get him to visit your campsite once it has been built on your island. Inviting him 3 separate times along with making whatever he requests each visit should allow you to ask him to live on your island.

Edit: I checked the pricing on Apollo's amiibo card, and it is way too high. You can make your own amiibo or buy one way cheaper on Etsy.

 

[looneymoon]

I had Apollo in my New Leaf village too! He is definitely in the new one

I think you can ask around on Animal Crossing communities (reddit maybe?) and see if anyone wants to get rid of him from their village. There's like 400 villagers tho, so many to fall in love with via luck of the draw

 

[Strangelove]

see if anyone wants to get rid of him from their village

i do not want to speak to these people

Guess im not buying a switch anytime soon.

 

[Strangelove]

i have a switch lite and while i have some extra money was considering getting a regular one and i guess i am glad now i haven’t

knowing my luck by the time that comes out i won’t have money anymore and it’ll just be me and my lite

 

[BlueCollarNerd]

Will this upgrade have any effect on the old titles or just for the future titles to be developed?

 

[Roundhouse]

Question for you tech people...

Considering this new boost and DLSS capability...could VIIR run on this new switch?

 

[ForceStealer]

Here you go. Same day as Metroid.

lol 64GB

 

[Tetsujin]

That's it? It just has an OLED screen now? lol

I'm not even gonna use it as a handheld so this means nothing to me

 

[ForceStealer]

Might as well get the old one cheaply then

 

[Tetsujin]

I'll wait for a godsdamned spec upgrade and if it means I'll wait forever then so shall it be!
