I was planning on getting Doom this weekend, but it’s full price? It’s been $20 max on other platforms for months. Ugh. I was ready to pay $30 for the convenience of having it on a portable.

Skyrim is tempting as I have never played it, but I also have a PSVR and Black Friday is around the corner so there might be some deals.

On another note, do SMO, Mario + Rabbids, or Splatoon 2 look better in docked mode? I have only used my Switch as a portable, and wasn’t sure if I have missed anything.

SMO runs at a higher dynamic resolution (900p max), has higher quality shadows and more detail at a distance.
Splatoon 2 runs at a higher dynamic resolution (1080p max).

They do indeed. Not like going from Medium Settings to Ultra-High in a PC game, but you're seeing it all on a nice big TV screen instead of a small handheld one. I think most games bump the resolution from 720p to 1080p while docked too?

I'm willing to bet that Brook has a Switch converter out by now that adds like just under a frame of lag.

our ability to recognize patterns has evolved for thousands of years, and its really quite helpful, but an unfortunate side effect is that we see patterns that aren't there

Odyssey is the only game that really feels like it needs the extra give on the left stick to me. Mario Kart is fine if you wanna play handheld, with the controllers separate, or the grip. I've played single joycon too and even it seemed totally fine. I prefer separate joycons in ultimate relaxation mode.

It is. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of the demo. I don’t even see a need to get the full game with a demo that generous.:lol:

Same. I never really cared to play online in general. I like trash-talking in person myself.

Yep, it also means you can pay for it before the review embargoes are over.

Didn't think about that. There was very little chance I wouldn't be getting Skyrim. It's exactly the sort of game I like and I'd have gotten a Switch anyways, but it was a game I've wanted to play for ages.

quote:

A huge leak may have just emerged on Reddit as member DasVergeben could have just spilled the beans on a number of upcoming video games. As always these kinds of posts should be taken with a grain of salt, but it’s certainly worth a read:

A Switch port of Dragon Ball FighterZ is in the works and will likely come out in Fall/Winter 2018.
Soul Calibur VI is in development for Nintendo Switch (alongside PS4 and PC). Link would return as a guest character on the Switch version.
There has been pressure towards Game Freak to get Pokemon’s 8th Generation out in hopes of a release next year. If you recall Pokemon Stars, that is (or was) real, but all it was was a Sun and Moon port to the Switch, used as an engine test tech demo thing.
Metroid Prime 4 should have something revealed with some in-game footage early next year from what I’ve heard. I’m hearing that Direct in January particularly. Bandai Namco is developing the game for Nintendo. I don’t know which development studio.
There is some kind of new Animal Crossing that they hope to release next year too.
The Switch’s Virtual Console will not be like how it currently is known to be like. There is some kind of a subscription service of sorts in the works.
Mother 3 is real. According to my source, it was completely localized and playable. The sad thing that I’ve heard is that it is being held back for some reason, which all I know has something to do with not knowing which month to release it in.
According to one of my sources, they claim that Square Enix is doing The World Ends With You 2 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
Blizzard is preparing a Hearthstone port for the Switch. I’m not sure when this will be announced due to the phrasing, but I heard about this when I went to Blizzcon.

That list has third party stuff on it, but doesn't include Bayonetta which has been hinted at already. It reads like someone is trying to pass off their own hopes and dreams for the Switch as insider knowledge.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

The Reddit post it comes from has a ton of stuff like the state of Capcom's stuff (SF5AE, MVCI, REmake 2) which is interesting and also with a bunch of PSX claims (Soul Calibur 6, DMC5) so if anyone actually cares whether or not this all stands to reason you can just wait 27 days for the PSX to see if any of it turns up. Some of the SF5AE stuff has been floating around/leaked before in the past (V-Triggers Only at launch, Season 3 cast members) but hey the guy got the Injustice 2 Fighter Pack 3 right so that's something?

Sure, some of the Namco Bandai stuff is probably likely, but a lot of the rest of it sounds like "My uncle works at Nintendo and..."

There needs to be some Mother 3 law about leaks. Any time that game is mentioned to be potentially coming out, we should immediately assume it's fake.

Idk, the Nintendo and MVCI claims are extremely wild. Looks to me like one of those cases of "Someone had a little bit of dirt on an upcoming announcement, and used that as leverage to spout multiple wild theories" as we've seen a lot in the past.

Hearthstone is Unity and has a mobile version already so I can easily see that port happening. Soul Calibur 6 and World Ends With You 2 though I'll believe it when they're in my hands.
