Do we know if the Switch can play video files?

I presume Fast Racing RMX will be a downloadable title since it's showing as a March release but no retailers have it listed? The reviews of the previous game for Wii U were actaully pretty good at around 80% so if it's a cheap-ish downloadable title I might pick it up to give me a bit of variety from Zelda.

Release date is TBD.

Also...

- Race anti-gravity vehicles in this lightning-fast arcade racer
- Player with anybody, anywhere you like
- Zoom through 30 tracks set in canyons, alpine peaks, futuristic cities and much more
- Master the art of boosting and phase switching to stay ahead of the competition
- Local splitscreen-multiplayer with up to 4 players
- Online multiplayers with up to 8 players
- Non-stop adrenaline pumping action at 60 frames per second in 1080p

Sounds like fun

Haven't seen anything said but I doubt it will without some hacking. That's a pure guess though.

Alpine peaks you say?!?

Alpine peaks you say?!?

Looks like STEEP

I'm not quite sure about Fire Emblem warriors. I love the Fire Emblem series and turn based strategy games but absolutely hate the 'warriors' style beat-em-ups so I'm feeling kind of negative about it overall.

Has anyone heard anything about whether there will be any Virtual Console games available on release?

I don't know about launch but I did read over the weekend that Neo Geo will have 5 games available, but it didn't say when.

Would be amazing if it does, just carry a couple of micro SD card, with the built in kick stand, there is your mobile video player.

The other concern I have about the VC is the lack if a digital pad on the Joycon. I wonder if they'll release a special d-pad joycon for use with VC games.

Just made this up from the current games listed on nintendo.com/switch

I didn't include 3 versions of Zelda as I thought it was unnecessary. But otherwise thats 33 games either for launch, release this year, or in the works. Not bad! We also know there is a Fire Emblem announcement tomorrow which may include more than just warriors.

Whilst not strictly Switch related, i finally got around to organising and boxing up my Wii U collection. The big plastic box of regular games are all sealed, the other box is unsealed but perfect games. Then everything else is Rare/Limited Edition versions which are also all new and sealed.

Plus the obligatory "spare" new and sealed console...

 

[TNA]

^^ Wow!

I have had most consoles, but most of them apart from my NES, SNES and Master System have all been sold to fund the next console

How many consoles do you have stored away like that?

 

[Phate]

Christ! That's a few quids worth!

I'm hoping we'll get something other than just the warriors announcement we heard about last week. I'd like to hear that the developers of previous games (Intelligent Systems) are busy beavering away on either a new Fire Emblem or Advance Wars for the Switch...............

 

[eXist]

Christ! That's a few quids worth!

if you can find some of them

Cabelas wild hunt is impossible to find a pal copy nevermind a sealed one!

The big Assassins creed including the statue box is also another one!

 

[Phate]

I'm hoping we'll get something other than just the warriors announcement we heard about last week. Surely the developers of previous games (Intelligent Systems) are busy beavering away on either a new Fire Emblem or Advance Wars for the Switch...............

TBH I don't know what Warriors is and why others are hoping for something different. I've never played a Fire Emblem before, but I intend to on the Switch

But the advert says Fire Emblem titles - plural So we'll see!

I do think over the next few weeks more and more are going to be announcing what they have been working on!

none, Wii U is the first console ive ever collected for as it was as much a flop as the dreamcast if not more so with a bigger fan base ( dare i say it! )

 

[Raymond Lin]

I never knew Assassin's creed was on Wii U.

 

[eXist]

I never knew Assassin's creed was on Wii U.

yeah quite a few of them and nice limited edition versions too, although ive never played any assassins creed games ever...

 

[oldestgregg]

720p 30fps on the small screen and 900p 30fps on the large screen for Zelda. I know its only Nintendo but thats still a let down..

Cant wait to play Shin Megami Tensei,the new Square RPG and fire Emblem though

The only thing i can brag about is the original Assassin's creed statue for AC1 and AC2 for the Xbox 360.
