The card is faulty.

Where did you buy it from? It might be a fake, one that shows up as being 128GB when inserted but is actual only 1GB.

Probably a fake card. Where did you buy it from? You can get utils on the web the check the actual capacity of cards out. What the fake card makers do is program the controller onboard the SD card to report back to the PC that it has say 128GB of memory, when in fact there could be as little as a GB actually physically on there. 

 

I had a fake san disk card posted out to me years ago from a supplier on Amazon - tell tale signs are the bar code on the packaging doesn't report back the content of whats inside and other subtle differences in the actual packaging design itself. Emailed Amazon are they refunded straight away never even asked for the card back.

 

Of course the card could just be faulty too... 

This is the odd thing about it. The card itself currently has 112GB free of 128GB, meaning that at worst it is a physical 16GB. I've been able to install plenty of stuff, but some of it simply fails at some point. And, some of it failed following a reformat. A an example, I tried to install Minecraft on its own, and it didn't work, but is now on there quite happily along with Golf Story, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Ultra Street Fighter, Rogue Aces, etc. I did just get the cheapest one I could find on Amazon, so I'm starting to think it is actually just a 16GB. Sadly, my SD card slot in my PC doesn't actually work, and I don't have any other way to tell the capacity just now. I guess I'm just going to have to pick up some USB reader and see if this is the case. Thanks for the advice, guys.

Yes sounds like its 16GB. I had the same symptoms when using the fake card on the PC. It would appear to write stuff then just after a while error. Depends how Nintendo have coded the disk writing firmware I guess as you may never know if has saved properly or not and just reports back as corrupted data all the time.

- in the frontline campaign mode it's difficult to know what building or area you need to destroy to complete and island. I spent ages last night bombing the hell out of everything and finally crashed. Needs much better signposting.

 

It tells you which ones in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Undertale coming to the Switch is actually quite important: it means GameMaker Studio now supports the platform.

 

http://www.disposablemedia.co.uk/2018/03/gamemaker-studio-2-to-launch-on-nintendo-switch/

 

Which, in turn, means games like Hyperlight Drifter, Cook Serve Delicious, Gunpoint, Death Ray Manta, Nidhogg, Hotline Miami, Downwell, Spelunky, Nuclear Throne, and so on may see releases on the Switch later.

 

And more, new, cross platform stuff of course.

It does, execept they don't always translate entirely to what I can see when playing.

 

A big pointy arrow above the building would be much better.

I think that would make it too easy. It's pretty clear to me what they all mean though.

Yeah I got that one meant a building, and I'd bombed hell out of all what I could see. Still the sortie didn't end. Not the best user friendly signposting at all really.

 

I'd just like to say I do LOVE the game so this is a minor issue, it has a great feel to it.

Where did that come from?

 

Also, most of those games are likely to be shown anyway due to already being announced. 1080 has actually been mentioned in the past day or two as possibly being a thing.

 

@Kirby has an uncle who works at Nintendo..

Some leaks on 4chan have revealed practically the entire contents of an E3 conference before. That's also where the Mario & Rabbids game was first discovered.

 

You mean the Mario & Rabbids game that was hidden in plain sight in a video from Ubisoft before anything to do with it appeared on 4chan?

 

99.999999999% of 4chan "leaks" are utter bollocks, so the odds are in favour of this also being utter bollocks.

Yes, however 4chan posters discovered it through trawling the Ubisoft website. Most leaks are fabrications, however 4chan has a better track record than most. Don't shoot the messenger, I don't see anyone else providing exclusive leaks.

I don’t see anyone providing exclusive leaks.

So Xenoblade Chronicles is now firmly in my Top 10 games of all time, I utterly adore it and any RPG fan that hasn't played it I couldn't recommend it enough.

 

Ive just started Chapter 5 and I'm about 45 hours in and enjoying eye very second. Now that I'm fully used to the combat system and loving the battles, I literally try and fight everything I see because I love the Exp grind and see the Level 99 Cap as a challenge! 

 

Going to get the DLC on Payday, has anyone got it that can recommend?
