That is a bit steep for a digital title, or is it getting a physical release?

Yes, physical release, which I already have preordered!

Sold.

And Bomberman is one of those games I need downloaded.  Pretty much anything with heavy multiplayer.  Maybe I can hope for an eShop discount.

Im still not sure what to think of that game. I like Tetris, but I dont like the look of Puyo Puyo. But I have never played it before.

I don't think I can justify Super Bomberman R for more than $30.

I is sad at the devaluation of Bomberman. Bomberman64 was a game of forever, even competing head-to-head with Mario Kart 64 when I was growing up. If this Bomberman is anywhere near as good I'll be fine having paid full price (minus 20% Best Buy discount of course, so I guess full price for me turns out to be $40?)

I don't think the gameplay has evolved to the point of it being a full price franchise.  I mean, most "AAA" titles don't survive long at full price.  We could have an entirely separate thread about the costs of gaming.

A little off topic, but now that the Switch is coming out. Do you guys think Nintendo will lower the price of the WiiU? They can sell the WiiU for $150 with 3 pack in games or something. This can bite them on the ass because it'll eat sales from the Switch, although the Switch is very different compared to the WiiU and it was considered a "third pillar". Also, why didn't Nintendo ever cut the price of the WiiU or did they? I really enjoyed the WiiU and was really waiting for a WiiU 2.0 or HD or something, it has great games, no need to port all of it's library to the Switch just to make the Switch a success. Switch can still be success by itself with it being mobile and all. WiiU concept had so much potential, might it had better hardware people would have bought into it a lot more. Maybe i'm just nostalgic :(

And what the hell is gonna happen to my controllers? I have 4 WiiU pro controllers and 5 nunchuck/wii remotes. I hope the Switch is compatible with them. And also what's gonna happen to games that do utilize the gamepad in conjunction with the tv? There's really no way to port that concept to Switch. And what if some devs want to keep developing in that style? F$*k them? I don't know, all this killing the WiiU not sounding good to me.

Nintendo might drop the Wii U price, but I think they stopped making them a while ago to build up Switch inventory.  So unless Nintendo/retailers are sitting on huge stocks (which isn't likely) the price might not budge.  Nintendo may more likely buy back inventory it sold to retailers.

The price wasn't cut because the parts never became cheaper.  This has been mentioned on the forums a few times, but the gist of it is Nintendo cheaped out on parts, and people stopped making those parts for better parts, so the economies of scale never picked up.

Nintendo has confirmed to, I think, Kotaku that old controllers and accessories are not gonna be compatible.

Games that utilize the gamepad will die with the Wii U.  I wouldn't worry about the Devs who wanted to keep exploring that concept; there weren't very many of them.

I haven't seen Wii U's for sale in stores for a while now.  I think they stopped restocking shelves for months now, I was actually a little surprised because I assumed this past Black Friday was going to be a big Wii U firesale, instead it was barren.  I'd actually expect no price decreases for the console at this point, but you might be able to find Wii U games on clearance if retailers are still sitting on stock they want to clear out for the Switch Games.  Even taking a look at Amazon, any of the "new" consoles have actually gone UP in price, but you might be able to get a WII U as low as $215 if you get a basic white which only has 8 GB of memory.


I think we've seen the death of dual screen play.  Nintendo struggled to come up with a use case beyond putting menus/maps on the screen or Super Mario Maker, and it added another layer of complexity of 3rd parties or indies to consider when making a game.


Nintendo mentioned in a Kotaku article they had no plans of compatibility for prior console controllers/accessories, but left a caveat that they would consider it in the future.  I'd expect it sometime after year 1, or specific cases like if they want to allow the gamecube controller adapter to work with the Switch for Smash players, but I expect I'll be having to pay for a pro controller if I want a more traditional controller for home at/near launch.

If there's going to be a Smash 4 port (or if they want to kill Sakurai with Smash 5), I'd hope they would announce some news about it soon- Smash on Switch would be another big seller in year one, and if the GCN adapter is going to be compatible (which, let's face it, it probably will be), they should let people who already own them know as soon as possible so that they don't sell them off. It would be a consumer-friendly gesture, which I imagine seems quite uncharacteristic of Nintendo as of right now.

If I interpreted the trailer correctly it looks like you can choose to go all Tetris or all Puyo. Will get it for the Tetris 4-player action. The Puyo compatibility is just gravy for me.

It would be a consumer-friendly gesture, which I imagine seems quite uncharacteristic of Nintendo as of right now.


I doubt most owners of the GCN adapter are planing on selling any time soon, even if there is not an announcement. People will want to hold on to it for legacy compatibility, or to use on the PC with mods.

I not know if Nintendo do official price cut but I'd imagine retailer do fire sales to clear selves after Switch launch.

If there are any. Rumor is Nintendo asked retailers to send their Wii U stock back.

(Your local Nintendo online store stocks refurbs from that supply and sells them for US$200 or equivalent.)

This makes the most sense.  Stores don't tend to like inventory with low turnover.

French Amazon is selling Switch + Zelda for 360 Euro (including VAT):

https://www.amazon.fr/Pack-Nintendo-Switch-paire-Joy-Con/dp/B01MZAF5BB

It doesn't work outside of France, but maybe it will work for someone.

Anyone else excited for Yooka-Laylee? I'm pretty pumped for this Banjo-esque platformer. Another game I wish received a bit of love during the Switch reveal. Nonetheless, it's due to release soon.

I'm pretty likely to buy this so long as it doesn't crash and burn. Understandably, they've got to prove it's quality first, and then I'll buy.

I wouldnt say Im excited for Yooka Laylee, but I will definitely buy it as soon as the switch version comes out. I was disappointed about the Wii U version getting cancelled.

That touch screen action looks good too.

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)

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.
