Ever so slowly thinking maybe I might be better off getting the  Neon Console pack instead of the grey.

I could get the Neon JoyCons separately anyway I guess but not sure how many games we'll end up playing 4 player.  I'd imagine most 2 player games would work fine with one Joycon to each player.

Right then, had my Switch preview event today in Amsterdam. Tried out as many titles as I could. Games I tried involved Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, Zelda, Snipperclips & 1,2 Switch. Here my list, beginning with least favourite and ending with my favourite.

 

a) 1,2 Switch: Tried out the Marble game and the samurai game. The HD rumble is insane. The rumble outright simulates the weight of the marbles moving inside the box. Crazy. As for the game itself, not really interesting. Anyone who suggested it to be packed in is talking out of his/her arse. The quality just isn't there. I'd rather pay the 300 euros for the Switch alone [...]

 

I'll post some thoughts on the hardware later along with some comparison picks.

 

 

Oh man, you really made me want to get one. If I hadn't just recently got a PS4 and some games, and if it hadn't been priced over €300 (without a game), I'd definitely have been there day one. Still, christmas 2017 seems reasonable. And I can always play BotW on my dusty WiiU.

Trust me, ignorance is bliss. Since playing the games a few hours ago, I find myself wanting to go back to Breath of the Wild and explore some more, then move onto ARMS and Mario Kartfor a few short bursts of play.

 

Two weeks... :(

It's changed for me several times since I ordered, bounces all over the show. Latest date was the 9th over a week ago.

 

I reckon you should contact online support and ask why they are promising launch consoles to new orders and quoting you the 9th.

While it's true that usually when a console launches it launches with all the games it's ever going to get I read that this time Nintendo are going for something different.

 

Different games released after the console launches.

 

So I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom are planning to release another as of yet unannounced title for the Switch. Only time will tell.

Yes, and it's great they're leading with a port of their hot new title, Streetfighter 2 for the first time on a Nintendo handheld!

 

It should have been USFIV, but something tells me they don't want to shoot themselves in the feet with their SFV support.

Portable 1:1 USFIV would be a thing of beauty. I'd come out of 2D fighting retirement for that.

I'm with you. I'd much prefer they showed off something of the quality of Knack or that Gladiator game. Two games that will surely go on to have a legacy which makes Street Fighter seem like a bad joke. But what can you do?

 

Coming to think of it I've never even heard of Street Fighter. What is it? Some kinda game where people fight on streets?

I can only think that devs have only had the kits for a few weeks/months - everything points to the system originally supposed to launch near Xmas, but being rushed out for the financial year (like the fact the online is still being built until like, August), which is why you're getting download titles as full price instead of say, the 21 launch games Wii U had. It's telling that after the showcase you had a bunch of games that were coming "Summer" or "Xmas" say "actually we can make launch" over the next few weeks.

I don't understand all these devs are saying how great everything is and yet their support is all so poor. Like WTF did you need more memory for with a 22 year old game, Capcom?

 

Because Capcom will currently be developing games for the system. It can take a while you know.

Ultra Street Fighter 2 is almost certainly outsourced and not developed internally.

Bit worrying that the Switch gets a old port Street fighter.  It reminds me of the half baked support the Wii & Wii U had

 

Also we are less than 2 weeks out and there still a lot of mystery surrounding the switch itself.  I've seen no advertisement also in the UK

I've seen a few, and I don't even watch adverts.
