Nintendo Switch Chat Thread V

I can see X-Cloud coming to Switch. But how would GamePass even work natively?

The other things would be stuff like Master Chief in Smash, which would be a great addition, maybe Rare Replay? But beyond that nothing else would be likely to happen.

I'm going to get a Series X when I can afford one, but if I could stream to my Switch via X-Cloud then that would be amazing!

That's all it could be if there's even a grain of truth to the rumours (can confirm). The switch can barely run it's own games properly, let alone ones from a more powerful console.

Game Pass Cloud on Switch would be huge and I would be very pleased if it happened.

I always hoped that the Switch would get NVIDIA Game Streaming to let me stream my games from PC to the Switch as it was Tegra based - my Shield Tablet lets me do that and it's a really nice solution except for the need to use a shitty bluetooth controller with it. The Switch is basically the perfect form factor for streaming games.

Watch it be a super switch exclusive

Yeah the only way it’d come to the Switch is via X-Cloud streaming, obviously it can run some of the games on its own hardware (Ori games for example) but to just make it easier I can see it’d all be cloud based, I presume there’s no option to buy if you’re streaming it too so that’d make it even simpler. Pay £11 to get access to X-Cloud on your Switch. It’d be amazing if it happens though, like crazy good.

Isn't this what we were all taking about 2 years ago?

This Xbox Game Pass rumours has been doing the rounds as long as these Switch Pro's rumours have. It would be great if it happens but I won't believe it til I see it.

[Jenuall]

So what you're saying is that both the Pro and Game Pass reveals are imminent?

[Robbo-92]

Oh my god, new Switch model has just been announced!

GameCube vibes Missing the multicoloured buttons though

Started getting this joycon drift everyones been talking about these past 4 years. Its really annoying, but my switch has had a good run. Will send it on to Nintendo to fix.

[Jenuall]

Try the WD-40 Contact Cleaner approach before shipping it off to Nintendo, it's a quick thing to try out and might just do the trick without the need to send anything away.

Knowing me, I wouldn’t risk it on a relatively new purchase Maybe a couple of years down the line.
