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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
What happened to Kazumi Totaka? He’s been at Nintendo since 1990 and is supposedly still there, but the last game he worked on was New Horizons in 2020, he’s no longer the voice of Yoshi as of Mario Wonder, and the last non-remaster non-Animal Crossing game that had Totaka’s Song was Mario Kart 8 in 2014.

June 3rd eh? I wonder when we will see specs and if Nintendo will announced in January, as rumoured, giving them six months - their usual timeline from announcement to launch, to build stock. 1 million units per month will not be enough.

You must've not watched past the first 30 seconds. It's a clever jape, but it's still a jape

I think the smellovision was an addition to throw off the real info. I saw the 'Chad' head and smellovision and knew it was bullshit.
However, the earlier rumours state it will be announced in January and Nintendo do have a six month turnaround time, so June 3rd wouldn't be unbelievable.

Seriously, the last few Nintendo Switch Online news has them front and center. Not the first time they've done this either.

Once is eyebrow-raising, but whatever. When it starts to become a pattern though...

Like others, the majority of those games were pickups I slotted in and updated before shelving them into the backlog. Most of my hours came from the GTA Trilogy I finally got around to completing (along with an unhealthy solitaire game addiction).

I clocked it immediately when they name-dropped the Hall Effect. It's become such a meme among HARDCORE GAMERS but is basically never used anywhere else, at least in consumer-facing copy.

I'm a voiceover autist so the new Mario bothers me despite actually being quite close. The new Yoshi, though, is so gross I can't imagine anyone liking it. I don't know who it is but it doesn't sound anything like him.

I see it in industrial equipment sometimes.
 
I got this one from my family for Christmas( Assault Suit Leynos 2) it's a remake of an old Saturn game:

And I got this one for my brother (Slaps & Beans 2). It's a tribute to an old Italian comedy team.:

Some games I bought for myself that only arrived today (good thing they weren't Christmas gifts) are:

These are basically all arcade style games (IGS Classic Arcade Collection, SNK vs. Capcom, Bitmap Bureau Collection)

How have you found the performance? Are you running games of an SD card or off internal memory?

Internal memory, but I found no difference performance-wise with the SD card, I just moved them off the card because I had purchased a newer, bigger card and thus far have not moved them back

The performance has been stellar for 90% of games I've tried, Fire Emblem Engage has some animation slowdowns during the "HERE I GO SENPAI! TAKE THIS ASSHOLES!" attack animations but no other visual quirks, the only game I've noticed that really doesn't like being emulated is Super Smash Brothers but I think I can fix it with some tweaking to the emulator itself, Reddit tells me its a known problem

I have a real good excuse as to why my Nintendo Switch 2024 Replay is NOT something to brag and ride back home for:

IMG_1001.jpegIMG_1002.jpegIMG_1003.jpeg

- There‘s some NS games that I bought and have not played yet due to what other Kiwis have stated on here, dating from personal obligations and other forms of hobbies.

- Jojo’s All Star Battle R took up most of my time, to the point where it almost sounds like I neglected other games on purpose. One example being that I still have yet to play the Super Mario RPG remaster since I wanted to do a comparison test to see if it’s better than the SNES version.

- Mario and Sonic: Olympics games are what some would call a “guilty pleasure”, even though admittedly the Tokyo version seemed to make me wish there were more sporting events to try in the game. Though, it was still decent.

- I bought Super Mario Wonder and a Dead or Alive: Xtreme Volleyball Scarlet and I spent more time watching videos of gameplay than actually playing them. If I recall, Wonder was one of the best game of 2023.

- I spent more time re-learning how to play games on the PC than playing on my Switch.

Overall, I made a mental note to not neglect my Switch for next year since I’m unsure if I want to try out NS Switch 2 now that I have a Valve Steam a deck with me. Plus, this weekend I’m getting some Switch games so it should be the start of a somewhat optimistic 2025 as far as gaming on the Switch goes.

Cuphead and Klonoa will be the first two up, and the Sonic games — mainly Sonic Frontiers, Forces and Generations with Shadow — and Hades, along with Link’s Awakening and Zelda: Echoes with Silence. I might even go back and play the Mario and Rabbids series, mixed with Princess Peach: Showtime that was pretty popular at one point.

Unpopular opinion: Mario and Luigi: Brothership deserves more positive reviews, since I don’t really buy the mixed and average reviews that come with it.
