Goddamn that's a no-brainer
Actually the new campaign is Switch-exclusive for a month or so. Eat that, negative Nancy!

As far as I know the games are not currently available on the eShop so you cannot buy them, but the same currency that works for the 3DS and Wii U eShop will work for the Switch, so if you have any amount on your wallet, you can use it for Switch.

This deserves a thread, everyone getting a Switch should buy FAST RMX at $19.99.

It isn't a port of the Wii U game.

Agreed. I'll make one.

"First of all we were able to drop all the tricks that we needed to make FAST Racing Neo run at 60fps at all. So the image quality of FAST RMX is much higher then FAST Racing Neo. We also improved the rendering resolution from 720p to 1080p. We also took this chance to create a complete new user interface to make better use of the higher resolution." this is great to hear.

You have to wait. There's no option to buy digitally yet.

Port, remix, same thing. They threw the DLC too but anything else?

It's all the DLC plus more new tracks beyond that, yes. You're getting a lot more content with this version for the same price you originally paid for the original version 2 years ago.

Damn, well I guess I am gonna spend more on launch day than I thought. Of course there's no VC launch day though. Obviously Zelda pushed up this launch further than Nintendo was ready for.

Shovel Knight with no D-Pad, content you get for free if you purchase the game cheaper elsewhere and no cross buy or discount.
Yikes. Hard pass.

Any impressions yet on the Joy-Con split d-pad?
GameXplain talked about it in a follow-up video after their hands-on with the developers. I don't have a link pulled up but it's a recent video. Not ideal.

Nothing substantial so far which is a shame as I'm eager to be proven wrong should it be in any way useable.
Pooling my Wii and 3DS VC libraries onto one (portable) device is certainly one of the things I'm most excited about with Switch but, preferring to play handheld, the lack of a D-Pad is a massive issue.
Fingers crossed the patented Joy Con with D-Pad (and hopefully analogue triggers) actually releases...
Thank you. Yeah, I am staying away from YT entirely so I don't get spoiled on Zelda (media blackout since 12/1/16 for me). I'm curious if it is something you get used to over time, but...yeah, the way the buttons are placed/shaped makes me skeptical unfortunately. I do really like the split d-pad of the PS2 controller, though.
Thanks, and I hear ya on that, JSC. On the bright side, even if the J-C with d-pad doesn't release (and I really think it will) surely someone will release a third-party one sometime soon. Unless, third-parties can't sell Joy-Cons, hmm...wonder what the patent dealio is there. As to VC I am hoping everything Wii U and 3DS comes over to Switch...especially stuff like DS VC that would work best in a portrait HH mode....
No, but you can play all the add ons for free on 3DS!
Thanks for clarifying that, bit gutted as I never use my 3DS and thought this was crossbuy.
But who am I kidding, I'll buy it on the Switch anyway!

Have the UK prices been announced?

I don't think so but knowing us it'll be a simple $19.99=£19.99

Does Nintendo do weekly/monthly/seasonal digital sales on the eShop like XBL and PSN?
Might seem like a silly question, but I skipped Wii U and only own physical on Gamecube/Wii.
I'm taking a wait n see on any digital purchases to make sure they improved the shitty account system, but assuming that goes smoothly I'm excited to check out some classic VC titles...especially if they actually have VC GCN. The idea of that has me more hyped than just about anything other than BoTW.

Yeah eShop gets sales quite frequently, there was also a pretty awesome 3DS and Wii U Humble Bundle once so hopefully that happens again.
Bought.

- revamped the menu system
- added more content
- added local multiplayer support
