Nintendo Switch Chat Thread Too

[Minoru]

I ordered Tales of Vesperia from Amazon and I was really looking forward to playing it this weekend. It arrived today and the damn box was empty

Another Switch game missing? seems to be a common thing.

That sounds pretty damn annoying!

Have you played it before? I've never played a Tales game but it's really tempting me (especially after I saw the Klonoa costume )

[Osito]

There's Fire Emblem for (probably) the first half of 2019, too.

I'm looking forward to the SNES (and GBA) games in particular. NES games aren't something I'm really interested in, other than a 5-10 minute check for curiosity, and don't really play online, so have had no reason to get the online sub yet.

It is very annoying! Especially as Amazon have replied to my email now and agreed to send a replacement that will arrive between the 29th of January and the 14th of February. I am so frustrated.

I have played it before, but not for a long time so I was excited to again. It's one of my favourite Tales games and if you're tempted, I'd say its definitely worth taking a punt on.

It's another one for my obese wobbling wishlist-cum-backlog. Sorry about the muck-up Minoru. At least they're co-operating.

Re. SNES games, I think it's an example where I've been worn down by how hopeless Switch Online has been thus far that I see their inclusion as a positive. Just having NES from the start was outright bad, having SNES as well is still frankly some distance below the Wii and Wii U VCs (unless the online multiplayer functionality is severely ramped up and they include Multitap games) but it's night and day between that and NES only. They'll have aged better than N64 games too, I warrant.

I won't start actually playing them until we get more GBA titles. Never did get far in Metroid Fusion...

[Abacus]

I think I bought most stuff on the (excellent) Wii /Wii U virtual console already, but in actual fact never really played them on there either.

They are kind of like a nice screensaver, to me.

They should just concentrate on getting the online service right and accessible, not wombling on with a ninja gaiden 'special edition', or other silly shizzle.

Was the game sealed as well?

Unfortunately it does seem that "no cart" situations occasionally occur. GR's The Watching Artist experienced this recently with Octopath Traveler.

[Choclet-Milk]

I'd imagine so, Amazon sent me an empty copy of Super Mario Party too. Like Minoru said, though, they were happy to send a replacement when I called. It arrived before I'd even sent the original back.

[Sandy]

I really didn't like Zestiria and it made me not bother with Berseria but I'm kinda tempted by a Vesperia rehash.

[Jenuall]

Despite owning a SNES mini and having played most of the games before in various other ways ( ) I'm still looking forward to the prospect of SNES games making their way onto Switch. I've played more of the NES stuff than I was expecting to so far and think I'll probably continue to do the same as the library expands.

GBA, N64 and 'cube games would really get me excited though!

So regarding that YIIK game you guys were talking about a page back...

Did Iwata work on Earthbound/mothe? Maybe it's a homage due to it taking inspiration from those games?

He did aye, famously helping fix up Earthbound during its very troubled development.

Still...that's such a misjudged way to pay tribute, just sticking that on a random grave in a yard...

[Victor Mildew]

Yikes!

Oh so it's not only pretentious and insufferable but also tactless and awkward.

[BAKA]

Nervously opened all my unopened games. Thankfully they all have games inside. Slightly concerning to see a few people with the issue on a small forum such as this. I wonder how widespread it is. I'll definitely be opening everything I receive from now on.
