Support NeoGAF

[opricnik]

I don't think KOF is a possibility but AFAIK there's nothing stopping it coming to other platforms.

Then thats pretty absurd of them not releasing on PC still considering it was leaked(or rumoured) on PC but that still didnt happened yet

 

[Vuze]

Because it's a portable console that you carry with you on the go. You ain't plugging your ethernet in on the bus or train.



You would if you wanted to play it like a home console ie use ethernet.

What's so hard to grasp about the idea that the LAN port could be in the dock? Of course it wouldn't make much sense for the device itself to have it...

 

[Net]

My guess would be Tekken and MVC:I

What engine does Injustice use? Also UE4? Then that's a possibility as well.

A home gaming system with no Ethernet port would be beyond silly. Not deal breaking of course, but a bad oversight.

The last 2 Nintendo consoles didn't have ethernet ports.

 

[KAL2006]

Pokken
Tekken 7
Injustice 2
Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite

2 of the above getting announced for Switch wouldn't surprise me


All these use Unreal 4 which is a supported engine by Switch. Let's not forget we have had Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, BlazBlue on Vita. And Street Fighter IV, Tekken and Dead or Alive on 3DS. Fighting games are easy to port.

 

[ghibli99]

Ooh, I've been asleep at the wheel or something, but the potential for dock skins is great! Console skins you can actually see. LOL

 

[SuperSah]

ALL DEZE LEAKZ

nothing will be hidden come Friday..

 

[Net]

Pokken
Tekken 7
Injustice 2
Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite

2 of the above getting announced for Switch wouldn't surprise me

No one plays Pokken with arcade sticks. It's definitely coming to Switch but that's not what the stick is for.

 

[Kaelan]

What fighting game is this launching with!?

Most likely Tekken 7. Not too surprising considering Tekken Tag Tournament did come to the Wii U

 

[Xandremi]

It makes no sense to come with an Ethernet. They made the right decision.

The Wii U didn't come with an Ethernet either... that price doe D:

 

[LordKano]

I expect Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Tekken 7 on Switch at launch (or maybe shortly after for Tekken 7).

 

[mullet2000]

Arcade stick is the most interesting thing here to me, considering it's a launch item. Tekken at launch maybe?

 

[jrDev]

Do people even have car lighters anymore?

?

Joke post?

 

[Akai__]

Kinda implies that the Switch won't have an Ethernet port, right?

 

[Neptonic]

YOOOOO THAT'S A FIGHT STICK

 

[casey_contra]

No Mario tho

I was looking forward to that more than Zelda. Typical Nintendo fan - disappointed at everything.

Kidding! Still Day 1. Absolutely pumped.

 

[Oregano]

Most likely Tekken 7. Not too surprising considering Tekken Tag Tournament did come to the Wii U

...and since then the Tekken team has developed Pokken and Lost Reavers.

 

[Dark Cloud]

What's so hard to grasp about the idea that the LAN port could be in the dock? Of course it wouldn't make much sense for the device itself to have it...

Nobody is talking about the device.

We're talking about the dock. Why would they put an Ethernet port in the dock when the whole point of the Switch is to pull out the Switch from the dock and continue playing your game on the go? If you're connect to the internet through an Ethernet port then it would kick you off your game as soon as you pick the Switch out of the dock.

Also, Nintendo could be looking at if someone hits the dock while your Switch is in it and it messes up your game.

 

[Calm Mind]

The Ethernet adapter will probably be full-size USB and plug into the dock, just like on the Wii and Wii U. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Wii adapter worked with it.

Why would you use it though when the Switch has USB 3.0 which supports a gigabit connection.

 

[StoopKid]

Is that a share button?!

 

[opricnik]

My guess would be Tekken and MVC:I

What engine does Injustice use? Also UE4? Then that's a possibility as well.

injustice2 heavily modified ue3, tekken and mvcinfinite ue4, umvc3 mt framework

 

[Oregano]

Is that a share button?!

Yep, it's in the patents and was rumoured before the reveal.

 

[Platy]

It's for street fighter V guys...

Sony : "Hey why are you guys porting this ... I got console exclusivity !"
Capcom :
1) "But you got home console exclusivity, this is the handheld version"
2) "The contract said that we could not do an xbone and wiiu version"
3) "You didn't read the small line .. it was just a really long timed exclusivity"

 

[Net]

...and since then the Tekken team has developed Pokken and Lost Reavers.

The Smash team was also full of Tekken dudes.

But they are still releasing a Ethernet USB adapter.
I don't think "seamless online" is the reason. It's just for cost reduction.

Switching between wired and wireless connection is in the patent.

 

[Guymelef]

RAP for Tekken 7 II guess.

 

[Nickle]

Looks like Zelda in March.

 

[moltonasty]

Dat real arcade pro tho..i guess we got some fighters coming to switch fellaz..injustice 2? Tekken 7?

 

[Neoxon]

Arcade stick sounds like KOFXIV or Smash Bros.

KoFXIV, like SFV, is console exclusive to PS4.

 

[Ricker]

Good for Hori...they always made pretty solid stuff no...?

 

[Regiruler]

No one plays Pokken with arcade sticks. It's definitely coming to Switch but that's not what the stick is for.

The Wii U version needs to get the DLC that came out months ago to the arcade version before they go releasing a Switch version.

 

[BY2K]

So of all the Zelda accessories by Hori, only the ones in English with a US MSRP have the "March 2017" on them.

The ones in French with the Euro price have no date at all.

Delay incoming for Europe only?

 

[v0yce]

Arcade stick is cool, but not unprecedented or surprising really.

 

[udivision]

Hori on Thursday night when Zelda is revealed as not a launch title.

A home gaming system with no Ethernet port would be beyond silly. Not deal breaking of course, but a bad oversight.

How do you figure? What percentage of users do you think are going to use a wired connection instead of WiFi? Look, I wish it had Ethernet too. But in reality that is something that is only desirable by people like us. The majority of people will only ever use Wifi. If anything, that is the trend, not wired connections. Inconvenient and annoying for us? Sure. For most users it won't be missed.

Why would you use it though when the Switch has USB 3.0 which supports a gigabit connection.

Most people don't have gigabit Internet service so it really won't matter. USB 2.0 theoretical max is 480 megabits, so the adapters used on the Wii and Wii U will more than suffice for most people's 50-100 megabit Internet connections.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Tekken 7 being console exclusive for Switch for a few months would be interesting and hilarious hopefully that happens.

When a perfectly functional alternative (lan adapters) exist there's little point including one as standard for the 3% of people that might use one

 

[K.Sabot]

rip cool disc art

 

[Dark Cloud]

But they are still releasing a Ethernet USB adapter.

Yeah. It's an option because it goes against what they're marketing.

Switching between wired and wireless connection is in the patent.

If that's the case why would they be selling an Ethernet port accessory if the dock came with a port already?

 

[Blastoise]

For some reason, seeing the car-kit has made me super excited!

 

[opricnik]

Tekken 7 being console exclusive for Switch for a few months would be interesting and hilarious hopefully that happens.

They already announced VR mode and dlc for ps4 though

 

[Prisoner]

Oh god. Of course this thing is going to have a billion accessories.

 

[KAL2006]

Tekken 7 would be a great launch title but Nanmco hasn't even got a release date for Tekken 7. Injustice is confirmed May for other platforms so that wouldn't be the launch game.

Could be something obscure like Guilty Gear or BlazBlue.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

The stand is a definite purchase from me, the multi-charger as well. Goddamn so many accessories already and way before Friday.

 

[JustenP88]

Esit: wrong thread, accessories look great btw

 

[Etzer]

One of ths is literally a thick plastic case around everything bar the controls.

I noticed that, too. Maybe it's like this?

 

[Guymelef]

Also why are Hori using"Nintendo seal of quality" from US with EU prices?

Tekken 7 being console exclusive for Switch for a few months would be interesting and hilarious hopefully that happens.

What are you smoking?

 

[OmegaSmash]

I don't think anyone here is really appreciating the fact that Nintendo decided to bring back the GOAT accessory, the 3DS Stand.

 

[paolo11]

I know this would not happen but it would be great in my humble opinion if Street Fighter V is released on Switch with cross play PC and PSN

But it ain't gonna happen cuz exclusivity for PS4
