Nintendo Switch

I think it will definitely be playable on the show floor, given it comes out like, two weeks later tops. Probably get some segments on Treehouse Live too.

If it is part of the E3 Direct, then it will likely be a part of a sizzle reel with 30 seconds at most.

11pm GMT. Once again, I'll be at work.

Yeah, I'll be at work too. Gives me something to watch on Youtube when I get home, though.

Capcom confirmed to US Gamer that the DMC1 Switch port is cut from the DMC HD Collection.

Famitsu data: Switch has outsold the PS4 in Japan.

Of course there's going to be a Mario Maker 2 event before E3...

New: Nintendo Switch Game Voucher. Pay $99.99 and you can buy two different games with a one year limit after purchase. Save $10 on one game. Exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members.

You can only get it through July 31st, but its highly likely any first party Nintendo game a year out will be available through it.

Well, it'll probably be more expensive here because of the AUD, but I don't see myself ever using it.

Since most of the time you can get $10-15 off the RRP in the first week of release.

I'll wait until E3 before deciding whether to bother. If Sword and Shield are included in the list, I might go for it.

Not interested. Don’t want to buy digital.

Neat offer but I prefer physical.

If anything Monolithsoft gets announced for this year that'll suddenly be very tempting.

I would be very curious to see if Monolith Soft has something. Hopefully a sequel to X, although it's just as likely to be an original franchise.

I’m hoping to see something original from them one of these days. I love Xenoblade, but I don’t want it to be all they ever do again.

This is the sort of thing Nintendo should have done with the online service from the beginning.

I'm a physical guy so this I won't be using this, but it's pretty nice for the all-digital crowd.

Same. It's a cool idea, but I tend to physical on most things where that's an option. I want to conserve my storage space for digital exclusives and DLC.

I've been doing both digital and physical, with the format priority depending on the game in question and whether or not I need shorter loads.

Wrong thread.

But regarding the deal... it's fine if you buy a lot of first party titles, I guess? It's a little too restrictive to be all that enticing.

I'd go for the deal, but I plan to also pre order the Shadowbringers expansion for FF 14.

If we get a new Monolith Soft title, perhaps a collab with KT? Xenoblade Warriors sounds good right about now...

I don't see it between Persona 5 Warriors and KT contributing to FE Three Houses.

Maybe in a few more Xenoblade games.

Hmm. In addition to Mario Maker 2 being up for preorder in the eShop, we now have pages for three other games, one of which I don't think had a previously announced release date: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 ($60 on 7/19), FE Three Houses ($60 on 7/26), and Astral Chain ($60 on 8/30). And yes, all three are valid purchases for a voucher.

Interestingly, MAU 3 is 13GB (so, not a small game), Three Houses appears to have no multiplayer, and Astral Chain lists "Players: 1-2".

Luigi's Mansion 3 was rated in Korea.

Looks like we might get it before Halloween then.
