Nintendo SWITCH(NX) Information - March 3, 2017

[Taim Meich]

I'd prefer MH to stay in Nintendo platforms, but I wouldn't mind if it went to PS4, it's a good console with a good userbase. I wouldn't mind an open world game if it were well thought and natural transition from the actual zones-based. But I would LOATHE the casualization in form of less prep, "more action based" (which I assume means more button mash friendly), and specially (it breaks my soul just writing it) less complicated and fewer weapons.

Hopefully the rumor isn't true.

Capcom gonna Capcom, just hold your dicks because they could fuck it all up.

Anonymous;Code announced for Switch, Robotics;Notes DaSH and Steins;Gate Elite being considered

The production company Mages. announced its Robotics;Notes DaSH game sequel, its Steins;Gate Elite update, and a Nintendo Switch version of its Anonymous;Code game at the "Chiyo-St. Live 2017 -Genesis-" event on Sunday. Mages. also announced the Android launch of the Chaos;Child game and confirmed the PC download release of Chiyomaru Studio's existing game lineup on the Steam service.

Robotics;Notes DaSH is a "true sequel" to the Robotics;Notes game that inspired a television anime in 2012. Mages. has not yet announced the new sequel's release date and platform (or platforms).

Steins;Gate Elite is a major update of the original Steins;Gate game with new elements. Mages. has not yet announced the new version's release date and platform (or platforms).

Set in Tokyo's Akihabara district, the original game followed Rintarō Okabe as he changes fate by travelling between different world lines. The game inspired a 2011 television anime as well as the Steins;Gate: The Movie - Load Region of Déjà Vu sequel, and the game franchise boasts over 1 million copies.

The upcoming Anonymous;Code game will now debut on the Nintendo Switch platform, in addition to the previously announced PlayStation 4 and PS Vita systems. Mages. has not yet announced the game's release date.

The story begins on February 6, 2036 at 06:28:15, when New York, London, Shanghai, Moscow, and Tokyo's Shinjuku are destroyed. This happens due to a problem in 2036 when computers' timekeeping algorithms overflow, causing defense systems and military satellites to target these major cities.

Rumors that Nintendo might be nearly doubling their production goals.

Nintendo has not moved away from its initial hardware shipment target of 10 million Switch consoles in the twelve months ending next March. But people involved in the supply chain tell the Financial Times that the company is now aiming to ship 18 million units instead

http://bgr.com/2017/05/29/nintendo-s...-demand-stock/

As a benchmark, from the reports I've found, in it's first twelve months (minus a week or two), the PS4 shipped 13.5 million units and the XB1 shipped 10 million units in its first twelve months.

[Salodin]

We still talk in units shipped? I thought we moved onto units sold. Wonder when we see data on that.

How many Switch units have you seen collecting dust on store shelves?

[Boyiee]

Mine is collecting dust on my entertainment center since I finished zelda. Didn't even unwrap Mario kart from the cellophane lol.

[Krandor]

Quite a few at this point actually. At least in Cape Cod you can find them sitting on shelves at most stores.

[Deejay]

They're sold out literally everywhere here in south florida

[Tyrath]

Cape Cod is a terrible example. Don't really see it as a place where video games would be flying off the shelves.

[Krandor]

You're not wrong, just pointing out that it does happen.

Cape Cod is very weird since it's either over privileged white folk who have no time for things like video games or hype sneaker drops, or white trash who can't afford those things. And no real middle ground outside of the fairly large military population.

Really? In coral springs they're on shelves.

Honey∞Parade Games (Senran Kagura) is developing a second title for the system

During the interview, Takaki mentioned that other than Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura, the studio has another title for Switch in development that makes use of the system’s functionalities. This other title will be a packaged release, unlike Shinobi Refle, which is an digital-only release, and will also make use of Switch’s HD rumble functionality.

4 chan claiming to have leaked images of Smash Switch port:

Spoiler: show

[Kirin]

Was just getting ready to post these.

It's been a while since the Sakurai Hype Train left the station.

Early examination gives little reason to doubt these are fake, as the text that went along with the original 4chan post inferred the screens are from a June issue of a Japanese publication (Famitsu?).

The timers in the 4-way and 2-way split screen are different from the target breaking, but otherwise nothing really seems off or out of place. And theres a lot here in that I wouldn't think someone like the Rayman faker would go through the trouble to doctor some screenshots across multiple modes.

I do like the potential of character specific target breaking courses and Smash Run being added into the Switch version. You would think adding in Ice Climbers, Wolf, and/or Inklings are foregone conclusions, but if this isn't ready until late fall (to not conflict with Mario Odyssey) or early 2018 then adding Inklings become kind of a ? mark because they would be available way after Splatoon 2.

The timers in the 4-way and 2-way split screen are different from the target breaking, and that one lone 3DS screen causes me concern that they're going for the cross-platform to go along with the New 2DS XL instead of a straight Switch release. But otherwise nothing really seems off or out of place, and theres a lot here in that I wouldn't think someone like the Rayman faker went through the trouble to doctor some screenshots across multiple modes.

I can explain the 3DS screen. That stage is a stage from the 3DS version of the 3DS version like 3 years ago, but not in the Wii U version. There have been rumors the Switch Port would include stages from both 3DS and Wii U, so this supports that. Also, the image is there to show this isn't just someone upscaling the 3DS version.

Yeah, caught that myself and tried to ninja edit it.

Do want to point out now in looking at it, if this is a JP leak for a JP publication Bowser Jr. should be Koopa Jr.

Tokyo RPGs Factory's next game for the switch:

[xElipsis]

My stepson just got a Switch for his Bday and I'd like to get a carrying case for it. I've seen the orzzly and RDS cases on Amazon and a lot of the reviews say theirs smelled terribly. Anyone have any experience with the bad smelling cases from amazon? I wouldn't be able to deal with it.

Anything in store I should check out? (Atlanta, GA - if location matters)

[Krandor]

Butterfox case from what some friends have told me, can snag them on Amazon.
