Nintendo Switch

[SpagMasterSwift]

Aside from porting Zelda to the Switch Handheld from the WiiU Console you mean?

[dataDave]

Dual release? It's not like the Switch version is coming out later on.

By that same logic any multi-platform release should be considered ports of one another.

[SpagMasterSwift]

I see what you are saying but can we also have the word 'Console' switched to 'Handheld' in the thread title?

[hub2]

Change it to Console/Handheld/Table-top/Tablet hybrid

[SpagMasterSwift]

Hmmm, I like your approach buy just Handheld will cover it.

NSFW!

Hello there cave story and 1001 spikes...Also a nice look at the balck version of the UI and the utterly sexy as fuck all black Dev Switches

 

Shovel Knight:Treasure Trove and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment will launch first in Nintendo Switch’s launch window for $24.99 and $9.99 respectively!

The game on the very far right is Hydra Castle Labyrinth as well. Indies really seem to be liking switch.

It was the tweet that contained that screen pic that pulsemyne posted just above my post. Hinting at 1001 Spikes, Cave Story and... Hydra Castle Labyrinth (according to pulsemyne)

I think I'm more hyped for this console since any one since the N64.

[SpagMasterSwift]

Yeah or the PSP!

[BruceBruce]

Did they ever confirm which version of Minecraft is coming to the system? PS3/360 version or the newer PS4/XB1 version with more options?

That would be excellent. Indie games and portable gaming go very well together.

Wii U version I'm guessing (which is based on 360/PS3).

A tenner? I think the spectrum version got delayed.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is $39.99 on Switch at retail. (Digital Switch and physical PS4 are $29.99!)

 

Wonder why Switch retail is $10 more than the PS4 version. Is it literally just that they think people will pay more as it's on a new console? Given it's $10 cheaper digitally I'm not sure that logic holds up. 

[Wiper]

35 is a bit steep, but I'd happily pay 25 for it.

 Cartridge cost more than blu ray I guess.

Cancelled my pre-order and got Breath of the Wild for Wii U, and Persona 5 for £70 instead. Can't really afford it, but will pick one up when Mario Odyssey comes out.

We know from other tweets that materials i.e the cart and so on cost 10 dollars. That includes the license to nintendo so it's roughly twice that of blu ray.

There is a code to get £10 off the when you spend £50 at amazon - bigthanks.

 

I used it for MK8 deluxe and Zelda. With prime discount works out just over £80.

Cave Story is cool, but with the eShop edition on my 3DS I think I already have the ultimate version (got the PC and cart-based 3DS versions too).

Are there any sources for this?  Earlier in the thread someone was saying the cost of cartridges were about the same as a bluray.

Which mostly boils down to... We have nothing to announce at this time.
