Luseth Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I have to be honest @parrapatheslapper I have never really played the dark souls games Maybe it's the time to finally give them a proper go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have probably played about the same as me (although I have put a bit more time into Bloodborne) The fact I can play portable means I may actually persevere with it!

jonamok Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I like the idea of a Switch Souls community of hardened veterans and nervous noobs all sharing their war stories of dying (a lot) on the bus/train/khazi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 1 hour ago, dvdx2 said: No mario, Zelda or splatoon this year though - in fact what are the big releases this year? Looks pretty barren to me, other than an avalanche of indie games. That we know about: Mario Tennis Octopath Traveller Kirby Yoshi Fire Emblem Labo That we don't but are highly anticipated/likely: Smash Bros Animal Crossing Pokemon Metroid Prime 4? Ports: Wolfenstein II Tropical Freeze Dark Souls Hyrule Warriors Worth bearing in mind that it's not yet been out a year and those who haven't bought a Switch still have Mario, Zelda, Splatoon etc. too to entice them. It's not like everyone who is planning on getting one bought it straight away. I think it's looking pretty good personally and would be surprised if healthy sales don't continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cochese Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think they just won't bother to release any games this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcafarley Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm expecting them to tease Animal Crossing at E3, but it won't be out until next year at the earliest. I reckon we might see a 'Deluxe' version of the Wii U's Smash Bros at some point this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We're still waiting for an official DQXI announcement. I'm hoping it'll come out along side the Western release of the PS4 and 3DS versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we might see a 'Deluxe' version of the Wii U's Smash Bros at some point this year. I’m wondering if Animal Crossing will get a gimmick/accessory/peripheral of some sort connected to it. I can imagine Nintendo wanting to just make New Leaf again but with nicer graphics, and the hybrid nature of Switch could be used with imaginative effect.

Now I feel weird about getting mine out. Same train, tonight there’s a different guy sat in front of me playing Xenoblade on his grey switch!

Quest Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Nintendo have hired the guy who made Downwell, which is nice. He made a fantastic little game, so it'll be interesting to see what he ends up working there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyramidFace Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Played the Death Squared co-op demo last night. Not a fan of its annoying Portal wannabe 'humour' + the game's rules are a little too opaque at times. Then played the Spelunker Party demo which got turned off after five minutes. #demoupdate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlew Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I was listening to this week's C&R and didn't realise that Bleed had already come out on the Switch. By sheer coincidence, I heard Jon Denton talking about it the other day on an old podcast (I think, can't recall) and it sounded great, so was on my radar. Anyway, I picked it up this evening and put an hour into it. Absolute quality little run and gun twin stick kinda thing, lovely triple jump/dash movement plus 'witch time' type of mechanic. It's not really a shmup, nor a traditional twin stick shooter, nor a pure platformer but it borrows plenty from each and so it feels familiar. A smashing little collection of parts, neatly stitched together. It feels good in the same way that, say, Slime-san feels good. Just rock solid feel to it. Level design is nowt special but there's plenty of action and pretty interesting bosses. It seems very replayable, just because it's inherently fun. I recommend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can remember hearing about it on the old “Chet and Jon...” podcast as an Xbox live arcade game and buying it then. Really cool little game.

Also occurs to me that it'd be dads who bought the console, and who'd be sorting out the online stuff like the store account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SozzlyJoe Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I can't fail to see the irony in a forum full of 40 year old male Switch fans heartily agreeing with each other that they are not the main Switch demographic. The question they asked I guess tried to cover the fact that it is likely to be the purchaser / account setter-upper who is answering the survey by asking who in the household most wanted the Switch. For me, it was for my 7 year olds Xmas present, but I wouldn't entirely be lying if I said it was for me ;-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it would be just a port of the already existing mobile game so why not just do it, surely it's not that much of a punt?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
