Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

[Anonitolia]

Nah it had pretty good sales and reviewed well. Two and a half million.

Oh and it is awesome!

that's not the point
the point is that it was hardly talked about after release, was never iterated upon, just barely got pushed a tiny little bit for tournament play before being dropped after like a year (can't remember the specifics, might've been two), and didn't get any DLC or content updates by 2018 (when it came out in June of 2017)

2 million is also a pretty pathetic number for a near-launch title on Switch (when it had, what, two other titles as competition?) and especially a new IP
comparing its sales to other games that launched around the same time, you have Breath of the Wild (sold 26mil as of Dec 2021), 1-2-Switch (sold 3.6mil as of Dec 2021), and Super Bomberman R (sold 2mil as of Mar 2021)- most of which greatly outsold ARMs
if we want to compare apples to apples, ARMs and 1-2-Switch were both unproven new IPs that took advantage of the Switch's new hardware and had no preestablished brand to back them besides Nintendo EPD's
they were both released in the first half of 2017 and were some of the only original titles available for the Switch near its launch
both had paltry advertising campaigns, both were hardly supported into the new year, and both were aiming for a semi-casual demographic

1-2-Switch still outsold it by 900,000 units
so you're really fucking stretching to say ARMs sold well

not to mention the fact that you're really stretching things to say this is "reviewing well"

granted, of course you're stretching things, you're a retarded troll who's spammed bait like this to no end in the past, so really I'm the fool for being hooked here
but I still feel the need to correct you considering that nobody cares about ARMs enough to prevent people from spreading misinformation about it

But it was fun and a good game. We still play it.

I don't know who "we" is, and the quality of the game hardly changes the fact that it flopped

 

[BananaSplit²]

he thinks there are games in today's era with second-tier scope

What do you mean exactly by that? There are plenty of games on Switch in-between 1st-party releases, especially the jap ones which are hardly high-budget most of the time.

 

[Betonhaus]

Could we get a new Mario & Luigi RPG game?

Toilet Racing (F-Zero killer) finally coming to Switch this month

An exciting toilet racing game that lets you experience a toilet revolution.
Many circuits and toilet racers are waiting for your challenge.
After customizing the toilet and getting your stomach ready, it's time to start the race!

I just want another remake of Star Fox. Something simple and arcade.

And yet where is the Fur Squadron discussion?

AA stuff, kinda like the experimental stuff I mentioned before
Smaller games made by big studios that aren't super deep or challenging, but still fun

Nintendo has entire franchises dedicated to this. Kirby and DK come to mind.

Dunno why you think ARMS was a flop. It sold a bunch of copies and was great!

I am not sure about the qualifier "not challenging or deep". That seems dodgy and too specific. How else can that be phrased? Because I like the general idea of middle games.

@Calandrino did you play Fast Racing NEO/FastRMX? Those are very good racing games on Switch.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Weren't there rumors floating around about a 3D Donkey Kong game being in the works?

Yes, but they are pure hopium.

The thought is that the Mario team (NPD 8?) is doing it because they had a posting for 2D level designers, you know, because there were no 2D segments in the last 3D Mario game...

And hopefully a good one this time.

Toilet Racing (F-Zero killer) finally coming to Switch this month

I played a while back the demo of Daisenryaku SSB on Switch because I craved a bit for some Advance Wars-like gameplay, and it felt like coming back from the early 00's of shovelware.

AA stuff, kinda like the experimental stuff I mentioned before

Nippon Ichi Software is the first publisher that comes to mind in terms of experimental stuff, and I would easily recommend Yomawari 3 (horror game, doesn't need to play the previous games beforehand) and MAD RAT DEAD (rhythm platformer). I recall Grimgrimoire Oncemore (fantasy 2D RTS) has a planned western release, and it is also published by NIS even if developed by Vanillaware. Pretty sure there is a ongoing big sale of those NIS games on Switch due of the current Golden Week.



among other unusual games on the system, there are Black Bird (shoot em up) and Elechead (puzzle/platform - recorded vid below) which I appreciated as well

The Earth Defense Force franchise fall into that category as well, although with the exception of World Brothers, all the titles on Switch are sadly exclusive to Japan. Which is too bad because the Switch versions of the older entries are the definitive editions, and the online (for 2 & 3) was a lot more populated compared on the Playstation Vita.

 

[TheDarknessGrows]

And hopefully a good one this time.

The first one was pretty decent. How was the second? And... they made a third, right? I think I remember that.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Probably not, alphadream, the creators, went bankrupt after being sent to the 3DS ghetto.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

And why is it ARMS 2?

We all know why you want another ARMS

 

[Two Dollars]

Wave 5 of Kart coming soon!

It still mildly annoys me that Nintendo said they didn’t have any ideas for a new F-Zero, only to turn around and put a whole anti-gravity system in Mario Kart.

And hopefully a good one this time.

You act like they haven’t all been good.

Yeah my main is the best!

ARMS

 

[Two Dollars]

ARMS was a terrible game because it entirely relied on motion controls where you hold the Joycons in a very specific way, and everything you do relies on you executing specific gestures in very specific ways. It reminded me of those Kinect games where they shoehorned in motion controls where normal ones would have perfectly sufficed.

I dropped ARMS pretty quickly, but you do know it also has normal button controls, right?

I guess that wasn’t an option in that free weekend they had several years ago. That was enough to put me off of the game forever.

Ohh they forced the motion controls? No wonder you bailed, I would have too.

 

[Pissmaster]

Forced motion controls + forced online play = of course everyone's gonna get pummeled by people on button controls who actually know what they're doing

Now that I know button controls are a thing, that might have been one of the worst demos I've ever played. It took me from mild curiosity straight into deciding the game was awful and I never wanted to try it again. I feel like judging a game off of a demo should be enough, considering that's an entire kind of a product designed to sell you on the entire experience, but it just revolted me that much. And the game is like six years old, it didn't sell well, but it's still $60, what the fuck.
