Nintendo Direct Sept 13, 2017 Coverage

Doom
Wolfenstein II

Were the big shockers for me. Oh and i dont really like the look of that Project Ocotopath game, not my kind of game tbh.

The games that i am hyped for that have been announced so far are:

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Mario Odessy
Doom
Wolfenstein II
La Noire
Resident Evil Revelations Duology
And Sonic Forces

My only hope is that the Switch receives the full versions of 3rd party games and none of that crap we were served last gen where the port of a game on systems such as the Vita would have missing features like no campaign or something important missing. If you cant give me the full version of a product or something that improves upon the existing IP like new features (prime example MK8) dont give me it at all. Rant over

But so far 3rd party support is looking good. Lets hope these games do well and bring in more devs and more IPs to the switch.

Free, but micro-transactions. I'm still hyped....even if @Chary isn't hyped enough to mention it in OP .

This is probably what Square probably wants to do with FF XIV, is what i am guessing. I dont mind having both PS02 and FF XIV and any other good MMO on the Switch via cloud streaming BUT as long as they include some form of subscription deals etc... OR they could create a Free to play option as soon as the games launch or implement existing Free to play plans for the switch too once the MMO is released onto it.

hmm, what did they do with the german release? iirc there won't be any nazi's or reference to nazi's due to certain laws for the gemran release but I'm not sure what else is different

They call the Nazis "the Regime" and all symbols pointing to the Third Reich are altered. I haven't played any Wolfenstein since the early Wolfenstein II (which has been stripped of Hitler paintings and Swastikas), but I read that in The New Order there's a concentration camp scene, that seems to have been cut as well.

So, yeah, the difference is there.

The demo's just a taster for how it controls and the basics though, what I'm talking about is this open ended nature and whether it'll work or not in the final game.. if they nail it and give us a great story then fantastic, but if not we'll probably all be a bit disappointed about how it didn't quite work and how a more linear storyline would've been better.
Like I say though, looks really good so far, and that's after trying the demo out earlier.

It dies have some openness to it as it's not really forcing you to go certain ways. Like in the warrior's demo, after beating the bandits you could travel to the desert town and recruit primrose or go a different route like through the path, East (though the demo wouldn't let you). There's also that shrine you could enter on the cobblestone mountain.

I didn't know people knew about Doom and Wolfenstein 2 being ported to the Switch beforehand. Interesting.

WOW more OLD games who gives a shit!

Clearly you do, given the exclamations. Then don't get them lol, there's no need to be salty. :rolleyes:

Project Octopath Traveller looks like an impressive game especially from the creators of Bravely series.

That explains it! No wonder why the new system is strikingly familiar to me.

How is Wolfenstein II (the new Bethesda one) old when it isn't even out on other consoles iirc?

and is Mario Odyssey using Nvidia´s Ansel?

No, I don't think it's Ansel, because Ansel's biggest feature is 130K(!) resolution pictures. They could very well just have programmed their own photo mode.

But you do remind me that they're using Nvidia hardware, and so it'd be cool if Nvidia got some of their proprietary tech like GameWorks running on there.

Actually a lot of people, because people are really liking the system's portability. I predict Skyrim on Switch will sell a hefty sum of units from people who want to play through it again on the go. Don't underestimate the system's portability as a major selling point for any ports that come onto it.

Yeah, a 2017 and 2018 game are really old, huh?

He's just salty someone pissed in his cereal during the Direct the other day.

I'm fairly certain the German laws only prevent the Nazis from being portrayed in a trivialized/positive light. If they're the antagonists and at least attempt to give reverence to historical accuracy in terms of how awful they we're, I think it'll fly

it's having to be historically correct that I know of

dang, what would they do to you if you did somehow get the uncensored version in?

Honestly, I didn't expect (or want) anything like Doom on the Switch. It's cool, though. I could see myself buying one of those shooters, if they support gyro aiming. Other than that every support is good support. Except when it's Night Trap. :,D

Oh, and one more thing:
*Wolfenstein
Please don't rape my native language. Thanks.

Yeah, no one was going to crazy over night trap in my opinion back in the 90's or something I think. Or when computers were still pretty new for the time,

A new port of the game was actually going to be on the Switch to, but it was apparently declined release for some reason by Nintendo. Which is kind of weird thinking about it since they allow easy acsess to put games on Nintendo eShop.

technically...I guess the arcade archives thing is virtual console, they just don't say virtual console since, well, it's not a console there emulating, it's still close though

Depends on preference I guess, I don't know why i'm a huge sucker for over the top video games, action games, or ones that give off stress and/or worry in some cases. like F-Zero GX, Smash Bros, DOOM (Classic & modern.), Quake, Twisted Metal, Minecraft, in some cases Terraria ... That give you a certain level of stress or satisfaction after pulling something off, The opposite of that spectrum in my opinion would be games that rely on fear like Five Nights at Freddy's where the game has emphasizes on mostly scaring people in order to make them stress in comparison to trying to survive or brutally killing things.

I have played a lot of action minecraft PvP games as a early teen on the Hypixel network to, which partially sparked my interest in stress inducing games normally. The amount of tactics, speed, and mental thinking really make you feel like your actually contributing to something in the game. (Of course when its not something like Mario Kart or intentionally a mini game focused on casual play.) Not everyone might not feel that way but if you want to actually be good and take on the top players then yes its a very tense mini game server to play on in comparison to Mineplex which has the same focus as Hypixel but more focused on casual gaming or more user friendly content.

As far as the violence goes, DOOM is a step up from most games imo, I know some people might prefer seeing the bloody mess going in turmoil, while some people may not want to hear the screams or some of the ridiculous loud noise, and some may prefer a complete clean experience of the game (no blood or gore but still appreciate the game for what it is.) Hypixel kind of had those same vibes going for it to where the game intentionally "clicks" with what people see, the first time I played one mini game (survivial games.) I got a axe and tried chopping a tree assuming it was regular minecraft survival, after realizing its a game based off of killing people brutally with axes, bows, fire, and items in order to survive and be the last one living. That's when it clicked that "oh, that's what this is about." and some animations showed some hefty violence about the mini games on the server in order to give some vibes off the server, the server was also partially inspired from some stuff like movies afaik similar to Rambo, and games like Quake. (I don't know every single reference the server references. But most could probably easily be figured out.)

I'd play DOOM as a happy camper, imo reguardless of the mindless shooting, well I wouldn't play it every single day or my eyeballs would barf, but I would play it once in awhile from time to time, or on the go when appropriate.

Does that sound kind of insane, well maybe

, but to me in a video game, not really. Unless its violence intentionally to inflict pain or suffering like in the Mortal Kombat "Grave yard" area.

Here in Germany, you will be tortured with the worst thing they cut out of the game you were playing uncut.

Jk, you won't suffer any consequences. Indexed games are just not allowed to be sold freely or advertised over here. You can still import other versions (like the Austrian one that often comes uncut with a German language option).
