It was a trailer with some words and not much else. No platforms have been announced, but I'm going to go ahead and assume it's not coming to Switch until Squeenix say otherwise.

They said "consoles, pc, and mobile devices". With that wide a net, I'd say it's safe to assume it's coming to the Switch as well.

Any word on the Marvel Square Enix Games coming to Switch?

actually, I don't think I saw any mention of the SE Marvel game(s) on this site at all.


Is no one excited behind the potential of the MGU? (Marvel Gaming Universe)

I was very excited when I saw this, but I'm waiting to see if it will be on a platform I have.

That...no. Again, I'll believe it when I see it.


Oh look, Switch cases in the Breath of the Wild. They look smaller than I thought, unless dude has massive hands.

Given Square Enix, Eidos Interactive, and Crystal Dynamics previous history with Nintendo, I'm not holding my breath.

For all we know about the MGU, it's starting on PS5 and Scorpio. So yeah, we kind of need proof of life for a Switch version.

All games made for the Scorpio also have to playable on the "regular" Xbone and S, so it's not going to be "top-o-the-line" only. And looking at Marvel's TV strategy (ABC, Hulu, Netflix, Freeform) I would assume that they'd want to take the same approach of being all inclusive on the consoles as well.

but no more info till 2018!?


It's fucking January 2017.... why bother mentioning the **** at all if you can't provide ANY sort of detail till 1+ year later?

If the Marvel Game Universe is anything like the MCU, it will be the video game equivalent of junk food. So probably a lot of open-world, Assassin's Creed like games.

Luckily, Eidos Interactive are pretty decent developers, so hopefully that won't be the case.

Are you calling my MCU movies empty calories!? A collection unhealthy snacks that you know aren't good for you, but it just satisfies that sweet tooth craving you weren't aware you had?

Well either way, I'm hoping that the connectivity of properties is much more satisfying in the MGU than it has been in the MCU where it's quite separated up to this point.

What? All of the movies so far have been directly related to one another except for Guardians of the Galaxy, and Dr. Strange and those were related through the Infinity Stones and Thanos. Even The Incredible Hulk was tied into the canon through the Avengers Initiative and that movie was made before there was an MCU. The TV shows are more loosely bound, but even then, the AoS has had the after-effects of the films along with debuting the Theta protocol pre-Age of Ultron, and that one bald agent whose name escapes me saying he was going to catch a boat, and then being on the boat that Captain America and Black Widow are on in Winter Soldier. The Netflix shows constantly refer to "The Event" which is what happened in Avengers 1.


Back to video games, I can't see how they would tie the comics and the movies into one game. There's so much that different, to the point that tying them together would make them a different universe altogether.

Kat Bailey asked the developers of Torment:Tides of Numenera if they had plans on bringing it to the Switch and they literally started laughing. They walked it back a bit by the end and starting talking about fit but "not possible" and "it's not gonna happen on that machine" was the cause for the laughter.

that's more like separate but "connected" and not quite as satisfying as the promised #itsallconnected we were sold on when AoS started. Hell, even the TV show actors came out that there were disappointed at the level of one-way "connectedness".
I'll keep it brief, as this ain't the thread for it, but satifsfactory level of connectedness would have seen characters from AoS appear in places that might have made sense in the movies (Helicarrier rescue in AoU), or atleast event in the show(s) referenced in the movies (Inhumans for Sokovia accords) as or even in other shows as well. For SHEILD to not mention a bulletproof black man or a guy that can control people's minds (as it was mentioned on TV and radio) is quite ridiculous...

I'm sure the games incorporating the comics will mean that they have much wider use of characters and events, but will probably use the familiar designs of the current MCU charcters for the characters that currently exist in the MCU. It will be different, but across multiple games, we might have the MCU that we all pictured in our heads before we realized that Sony, Fox & Universal had to bring all their Marvel Toys to the party, and share them with us, for us to use the whole playset.

Well, that is quite encouraging. I don't know what that game is. But a response on teh level of a spit-take might as well be a baby powdered face slap.

It's actually a little worse. At first he's incredulous that she's even asking.

Kat: ...looking at the Switch at all? Any interest?

Him (Brian Fargo I think): The what? What do you mean?

Kat: The Nintendo Switch?

Ah, okay. I was more concerned that you were saying that the movies weren't truly connected. I love AoS, but the ratings (from what I've read) don't justify them spending the money to have more connectivity. The TV actors of course want to be a part of the movies and get some of that money that RDJ worked out for the main actors, and every TV actor wants to do movies. While I do wish AoS would mention the Defenders, the fact that they're local to New York and SHIELD is global, does make sense, but anyway...

That would be awesome. I'd really love a World War Hulk game and/or Secret Invasion, or both in one game.

That would be nice. I think the only property Marvel doesn't have access to in videogames is Spider-man though. But that new Spidey game does look pretty good (PS4 exclusive.... :/).

I just hope Switch's 3rd party presence is much better than that Kat Bailey interview implies

That'd be interesting to know yeah! At the very least it's four, since you need 2 sets for ARMS local multiplayer and that'd make sense for 4-player Mario Kart as well. Super Bomberman R has an 8-player mode but the article doesn't mention whether that's all on one Switch...

Nintendo's own website is suggesting eight.
Quote from: Nintendo
You can use up to eight controllers with one Nintendo Switch system, so everyone can play.
However, it's unclear if that can be only one kind of controller, a mix between Joy-Con and Pro Controller, or if they connect via different wireless standards.

Oh look, Switch cases in the Breath of the Wild. They look smaller than I thought, unless dude has massive hands.




The size surprises me also but I guess it makes sense when the games are small cartridges. The DS and 3DS cases are smaller than disc cases and they are cartridge based. For someone reason, the cases make me think of the PSP or UMD Video. I don't know. Something about them triggers this feeling that they look similar to another kind of case for a different system. I'm a fan of smaller cases so I like this look.

A lot of interesting information on this new Switch page
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Nintendo-Switch/Specifications/Specifications-1176277.html#1


the joycon battery is supposed to be 20 hours. Thats more than I was expecting
Quote
Please note: an update via an internet connection is required to use microSDXC memory cards.
day 1 update, maybe?
Quote
For example, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be played for roughly three hours on a single charge.
Thats not too bad

An internet connection and a Nintendo Account are required to use the News, Nintendo eShop and social network screenshot posting services.
So they are keeping the eShop name


I wonder what News is exactly
