Me too, I was thinking about that earlier. It's out over 2 months and honestly I have yet to see a single ad on TV.

Mr E

I read a completely different spin on that report last week. Something along the lines of:

More people aware of Switch than PS4 Pro or Scorpio

It's all about perspective.

Worth the wait.....

They kept my data, yay!!!!

The begging letter was sent back with it, ha ha

Same Joycon, new Switch by the looks of things

It was sent off with dodgy Joycon and a crack that randomly appeared near one of the screws at the back

I am down a screen protector, I can live with that though...

Edit : found the screen protector stuck to a bag😀

100% would Ninty again

I immediately pitied the poor b@stards at MS who are promoting the Scorpio, jaysus lads

I've seen quite a few ads on Comedy Central, Dave and Channel 4 for the Switch. Varied too, the Mario Kart one before it was released and a mixed one with Arms, 1,2, Switch and Splatoon. So many channels, just comes down to what ones people happen to be watching.

I think MTV showed some as well.

Mr E

Saw lots on kids TV over the weekend too.

I've seen several. Specially concerning Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

To be fair, the other products have all launched. The PS4 Pro quite some time ago.


I don't know what is the point of saying Xbox One, Xbox One S are the same thing, but the PS4 Pro is different to the PS4 standard yoke and the Scorpio is also a new machine. Confused poll is confusing.

They didn't slip a remaster of Super Mario Sunshine in on the QT?
Colour me disappointed Nintendo....

So saw a suggestion of dreamcast virtual console on the Switch. Would anyone be on board with that?

Not a rumour. More just wishful thinking I suppose

Paladonia

Any availability for the console in the Dublin area at the minute?

Would prefer the red/blue but would take the black.

Did they enable connecting headphones via Bluetooth yet or is it still only possible wired?

Definitely would be interested in that.

I think there is a huge opportunity with the VC on Switch in general as the idea of having the console loaded up with classics and being able to take it anywhere is very appealing.

I feel they do really need to including Gamecube (and doing more with N64) in this iteration of VC though.

Doesn't look like there are any changes on that front, though NintendoLife did post about using a dongle to do it...

Dreamcast is criminally overrated, so no. Gimme that gamecube goodness.

Ah now....
The Dreamcast has the original of Rez, Ikaruga, Under Defeat, Powerstone, F355, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Soul Calibur, House of the Dead 2...

CastorTroy

Not forgetting 2 Shenmue games. I think the logic behind the theorizing was that other SEGA systems appeared on VC before. But I do hope they have a better VC plan in place than they had for Wii U.

Edit: And of course Dead or Alive 2. I see Jet Set Radio in the list on wiki as well, but is that a Xbox exclusive now?

MilesMorales1

Shenmue will also certainly get its HD remaser on the PS4 now.

I played through both shenmue games and they are both just awful. No idea where the hype for those games came through. Rose tinted nostalgia I imagine. All those sonic games are also terrible, as is Phantasy Star. I'm not keen on fighting games either.

CastorTroy

There's room for both. Like was it SEGA or Nintendo that did previous SEGA VC ports?

And I'm not a Shenmue fan either after playing on Dreamcast, getting called away during an important conversation and not being able to find out what they talked about afterwards so didn't know where to go. Still have the Dreamcast somewhere

DinoRex

Wish more games followed Shemue's template when it comes to open world games. Most stuff just goes down the Ubisoft and Rockstar route and it's so boring and gamey feeling.

The good old Yakuza games play like modern Shenmue games though and they're always very enjoyable.

There's a few Dreamcast games on 360/PS3 so probably that. Not sure what's taken them so long with Shenmue remasters though. Maybe licensing/Sega being Sega.
