You don't gotta worry about that, someone quoting your post doesn't mean you have to respond if you don't want to. God knows I'd never be able to stop replying to some people if that were the law haha.

It's true the game doesn't need a game specific direct, it's true they don't even need to disclose all relevant information about the game prior to release. Game will sell great no matter what, but it's about what they should do, which is to be fair n honest. I believe it unethical to offer a thing for sale without customers fully knowing what it is, banking on their blind faith.

Yes I'm a hypocrite given I bought Splatoon day 1, and while we knew there would be free updates, we didn't know exactly how much or what it all was. I don't think being a hypocrite automatically invalidates what I say though. Due to NH's previous direct showing revealing nothing new about the game, I don't think 5 minutes in a general direct is enough time given this is the last opportunity to explain the game pre-release. If 5 minutes is enough time, then that would mean there's not much else to this game which I very much hope isn't true.

That feature request has been granted mate! Single-system local multiplayer will now be a thing, and though I won't be able to experience it for myself, I'm still happy it's there. It's something I predicted would come back when we thought this series would still be on Wii U with the second player on the gamepad. I bet that's what they were intending before switching to Switch.

Hard pass for me...not my cup of tea. It is however one of the few games my wife would play. She is not a gamer, but put some animal crossing or Luigi's Mansion in front of her and for that moment you might think she is one.

Looks like you'll only be able to have only one island per Switch according to Nintendo Australia.  Is this a big deal for you guys?

I think some new information dropped. Granted not much like etecoon said one island per switch rumor. That doesn't bother me. Also think confirmed characters list was put out by Nintendolife when I was last searching for news. However I don't visit that site anymore because I got into it with a few users there that are apparently pussies.

I'll check later tonight after work to see if any sites are reporting anything else but seems like radio silence till a direct.

Actually I've given it more thought. I'll probably get around 3-5 games on switch in a few weeks.  Of course all exclusive because any third party or indie game that is on PC I'll just get it on a steam sale.  

I was thinking Fire Emblem of course because it is fire emblem.

Mario and Rabbids because I like games like XCom plus it is turn based.

Mario Kart 8 deluxe because just found out friend from college days picked up used switch cheap from Goodwill that was missing dock and controllers which I believe he went cheap third party route to correct that.  I don't play multiplayer games much but that would be the game to play.

Smash ultimate for single and local multiplayer.  Screw online I've learned my lesson trying to play smash with lag. It sucks and it isn't my internet connection that drags the match down.

Daemon X Machina because I really loved armored core back in PS1 days.

And of course Animal Crossing. 

There are more titles that I am interested in the future but I believe those exclusive titles fit my genre taste the most.  Of course I would look into other exclusive like Odyssey, maybe FE Warriors and others in the future.  I'm just not interested in anything that came out on the Wii U because I probably already have it (only MK slides by since that is only multiplayer game I would play on switch for foreseeable future).

So when I switched from 3DS OG to New 3DS XL I did the supposed proper transfer.  Well my account transferred but my save game files on downloaded games didn't transfer.  Guess which few retail games I had that I bought off eShop...  New Leaf.  So I lost like 100 to 200 hours playtime.  Then the New 3DS XL I bought after about a year the b button would be intermittent (out of year warranty and Nintendo wanted way too much to even try to attempt fix the b button).  You can easily tell on smash when trying to go back screen hold b button down sometimes it would register then sometimes while holding it down it would act like you lifted up.   Was also apparent when trying the third jump (up and b) didn't register and first time or two trying and you drop like a rock.  So I went and got a New 2DS XL and tried to transfer.  Lost another 100 or more hours in New Leaf when only account transferred and not saves.

Supposedly there is a computer method that preserves the save files better but you would think their fucking system to system transfer would actually work with save files not just the damn Nintendo ID...  So basically after getting the New 2DS XL I gave up after 10 or 15 hours of playtime.  One thing I found out though was that carts keep save files on the cart or least most of them.  I was worried about MH4U but when I put cart in the new system my save file was fine.

I believe if I bought New Leaf on a cart then all that bullshit would have been avoided.  Download games without cloud saves.  Fuck that. I'll never do it again.  In total I lost over 300 or 400 hours playtime. I'd check my playtime history because that for some reason still fucking transferred but I'd rather not remind myself.

Looks like China manufacturing is hit hard... I thought they moved switch production outside China to avoid any future bs tariffs from trump?  However maybe there is part shortage for necessary components in Switch that comes from China.

It's just the system that is AC themed. 

On side note my girl works at Flex (used to be Flextronics) and she said area she is working is running out of components from China.  Seems like manufacturing has come to a crawl in China from all the fear.  She might have to be moved to another area or take time off.  I'm glad I left that shit company a year ago.

It's like that in all games 1 town with multiple profiles Switch allows up to 8 as opposed to 4 from before.
