By Method Go To PostRumor (Nintendo Direct):
First weekend of the month, 45 minutes long. The following games are currently slated to appear:
>Yoshi
>Kirby Star Allies
>Kirby Battle Royale (NA Direct only)
>No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again
>Yooka-Laylee
>Fire Emblem
>Fire Emblem Warriors
>Steep
>Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology
>Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux
>Dragon Quest 11 for 3DS and Switch
>Dragon Quest Builders 1+2
>Metroid Prime 4
>Mario Maker (switch/port)
>Kid Icarus (switch/new)
Additionally, Nintendo will be announcing a partnership with Devolver Digital to bring many of their titles to the Switch. The Japanese stream will also announce the localisation of several of their untranslated titles.
Beyond this the Switch's paid online scheme will be a major focus, along with the reveal of a new Game Pass/Origin Access style system for playing old Nintendo titles. You can subscribe to a specific system's titles, download, and play them freely so long as your subscription is active. It will launch in tandem with the paid online service and will feature NES and SNES titles only at the start, all from the Classic releases. Netplay will be enabled for specific games. There is no option to rent a game individually or permanently purchase any of them currently.
A system update for the Switch will also be coming in January.

By Method Go To Postno clue haha. hopefully december but these are usually fakes so who knows.No, these rumors are for the anticipated January Nintendo Direct that gets ball rolling for 2018.
By jts Go To PostNo, these rumors are for the anticipated January Nintendo Direct that gets ball rolling for 2018.
I suppose that makes sense. It did say the online subscription portion would roll out in January. Maybe for something after the direct.
Playing Mario RPG on the go sounds great, so hopefully it happens.
This 9 parchments demo is nice. Fun little Diablo clone. Some of us should play online when it drops.
whatever gets revealed, the next direct will be huge since nintendo hasnt revealed a lot of their plans for 2018
So Rayman Legends is freaking amazing. First time playing and just got through the first level. This game is pure joy. Kinda glad I waited till this year to jump to the current gen. Rayman is perfect for portables and it’s just a really nice perk that I can play it undocked.
oh man, I'm so hyped for Xenoblade 2. Can't believe it's gonna be here this week.
Also bought battle chef brigade and the mummy demastered.
BCB is pretty fun, combat is pretty simple. The puzzle aspect is pretty decent. You can buy pots so you can match 2 instead of 3 and you need to cater to the judges tastes, and use a main ingredient that is shown at the beginning of match - Iron chef style.
Mummy is okay I guess. On the switch it seems to have some slowdown on certain screens. It's very Metroidvania and I've inadvertently sequence broke I think...

I recieved Xenoblade today after Amazon messed my pre-order. Played about 1 hour. Man, does the game start veeeery slow. Hate all these forced tutorial.

I hated the tutorials as well.
By joefu Go To PostI'm really enjoying the game. I just finished chapter 3. Really good stuffany more impressions? going on a vacation and was thikning about getting xenoblade before it but still not 100% sure.
By Method Go To Postany more impressions? going on a vacation and was thikning about getting xenoblade before it but still not 100% sure.I mean the combat is pretty complex if you've never played a previous Xenoblade game. This one does ease you in slowly.
Music is great and I don't mind the dub at all. I don't know lol.
Kinda hard to explain, the combat is a bit MMO-y. Autoattacks reset cooldowns on skills and you can chain them by skill canceling. Story is pretty good. Leads you on and fills in some of mystery on the way.
I don't play too many JRPGs (last ones I've beaten are the 2 Xenoblade games and Tokyo Mirage Sessions lol).
By s y Go To PostIf i buy a switch do i need to buy a memory card too or can i play zelda right away?I have around 10 games for the Switch, never inserted a memory card on the system.
By s y Go To PostIf i buy a switch do i need to buy a memory card too or can i play zelda right away?Only reason you'd need a memory card atm is if you're going digital or buying 3rd party games like LA Noire, Doom, and 2k18.
THanks guys. I might just buy one tomorrow with zelda maybe. It's either now or not for a while year because I'm pretty sure the christmas rush will clear stock.
By masud Go To PostHow the hell do you start the new Zelda dlc?Is the update out yet?
By masud Go To PostHow the hell do you start the new Zelda dlc?you have to have beaten the 4 beasts to start it
I've beaten everything except the first dlc stuff since i just got it now. Do I have to go anywhere?
edit: just restarted the game and it's asking me to update.

The idea that other games could compete with BotW for the GOTY was definitely entertaining while it lasted.
So I bought a switch, zelda and mario
If this isnt the greatest thing to ever exist im holding you all responsible

Champions Ballad, had to bring the switch to work today. Bayonetta announcement came out of nowhere.
By s y Go To PostSo I bought a switch, zelda and marioYou're welcome. (You have horrible taste though so who knows if you'll like it)
If this isnt the greatest thing to ever exist im holding you all responsible
Half my office took vacation today so I couldn't call out to play Botw. Fuuuuck
Already did all the DLC equipment side quests.
Teleporting your house at all times is so useful.
On to the main DLC Quest.

By s y Go To PostCan I get the motorcycle as soon as I start the game. Fuck horsesNope. The motorcycle is unlocked after beating the Ballad Of The Champions DLC quest and that is only available after completing most of the main quest of the game.
I think used a horse like 5 times to travel (I did a lot of horse combat just for fun) horses were useful for taking long journeys by road to unexplored areas but other than those times I was climbing/gliding, fast traveling and shield surfing.
Wonder how long I spent trying to shoot those balloons from horseback. Never quite unlocked the Royal Saddle or whatever the reward is :(
By s y Go To PostHow shitty is the weapon degradation in Zelda? My finger is hovering over the cancellation buttonIts a mild annoyance
Hitch-chan, ive played assassins creed origins for near 80 hours. Is Zelda far and away the better game?
Not sure how much difference it'll make if you wait, do Nintendo tend to do holiday deals for systems that are selling well without them? There's a bit of a gap as well early next year for releases afaik, can only think of Monster Hunter and God of War. Might be a good time to dig into the Switch library.

Make the decision for me, its up to you
