Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@MarioLover92 Agree with you about the BCP ending after wave 6. The more courses they add to 8 Deluxe, the harder it becomes for the next installment to eclipse it (it also makes a MK ultimate with all the series' courses more redundant). And sooner or later, Nintendo will start running out of "good" courses to add, as well as ones remade in Tour (and thus easier to pass over).

@chapuH @MarioLover92 I think retro tracks would be complicated for a new game at this point. Like MK8 Deluxe already has over half the MKWii nitro tracks and there's a high chance wave 6 has Wii Rainbow Road (they ended wave 3 with a Rainbow Road and Wii is the only one in Tour now that's not in MK8 Deluxe). My best attempt at a varied retro track list with nothing that was a retro track in MK8 Deluxe is something like:

Shell Cup

• DS Figure-8 Circuit
• Wii U Water Park
• Wii Toad's Factory
• 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar

Banana Cup

• 3DS Wuhu Island Loop
• Wii U Twisted Mansion
• SNES Vanilla Lake 1
• GBA Cheep Cheep Island

Leaf Cup

• N64 Wario Stadium
• GCN Mushroom City
• Wii U Electrodrome
• Wii Dry Dry Ruins

Lightning Cup

• Wii U Cloudtop Cruise
• GCN Wario Colosseum
• DS Bowser Castle
• GBA Rainbow Road

It doesn't have that "Wow, look at all these fan favourites!" factor that the DS to 8 retro tracks had.

RDR is coming to Switch in August on eshop and October for physical:

@Grumblevolcano Holy mother forking shirtballs.

So Red Dead is a cowboy game? I was hoping to kill commies though, pre-order cancelled!

It's Rockstar, so it's Hibs fans Vs Hearts fans

port of Red Dead Redemption is anounced for Switch, coming in August 17th

I hope this runs well. So I can buy the physical copy.

@jump Wait what? I thought this was a game about political espionage. That sucks.

You're confusing it with Mario Kart

@Rambler Oh crap. I thought Mario Kart was a tactical Role-playing 16th century deeds writing game. I’m so upset!

Andy Robison sugest Metroid Prime 4 could be Nintendo Switch final exclusive

WHO?

@chapuH Yeah... agreed for sure. If I were the head of Nintendo, I'd just start work on the next Mario Kart game sometime after wave 6 releases. We gotta move forward at some point after all, lol.

@FishyS I probably should've told you this earlier, but I like your Toadette profile picture.

How Red Dead Redemption - a game that still refuses to come to PC - has made it to the Switch, but not GTAV - probably one of the most ported games of the last decade - is beyond me. Still, absolutely welcome in my eyes.

Agreed

If it performs well enough, AND has a low file size, I'll grab it digital. Can't go into October and grab it then with the slough of games releasing around then. If anything, I'd hold off until December after Star ocean and Mario RPG.
