Smite FAQ
Warframe Switch Voice Chat Does Not Require Mobile App, More Technical Details Revealed | NintendoSoup — Controllers, Motion Control: Warframe will support motion controls and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers at launch. Tenno can use the classic L/R Joy-Con controllers 1) attached to the Nintendo Switch console, 2) attached to the Nintendo Switch Grip, 3) detached Joy-Con controllers, and 4) Pro Controllers. Players can customize the level of sensitivity in the menu to their liking! Motion Controls: Motion control functionality is available at launch. All controls – mining, shooting, fishing, etc. – are motion control enabled. Chat: Warframe provides built-in voice chat, and does not require the Nintendo Switch Online App Cross-Play – Digital Extremes loves the idea of cross-play, but currently Warframe does not support it. Migrating Accounts – Just like with the PS4 and Xbox One accounts, Digital Extremes will permit players to migrate their PC account to their Nintendo Switch account. This will happen during a limited time frame from day one at launch to a future date (TBD). Storage – As a games-as-a-service title with five years’ worth of content, players can download Warframe straight to their system. We recommend a 32 or 64 GB SD card, as we plan to bring more content in the future. Always Online: Warframe is an always-online game – meaning it requires an online connection to play.

Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime On Hopes For An N64 Classic, Switch Online, And Sakurai’s Smash Roster Tweets — The Missing N64 Classic Nintendo’s holiday line-up does not include a new retro console, a surprise for fans and media who expected the 2016 NES Classic and 2017 SNES Classic retro consoles to be followed by a 2018 Nintendo 64 Classic. Fils-Aime isn’t one to announce new products on the fly during an interview, but he made it sound like the window for Nintendo doing such a device is closed for now. “We were clear when we did the first two Classic series that, for us, these were limited time opportunities that were a way for us as a business to bridge from the conclusion of Wii U as a hardware system to the launch of Nintendo Switch,” he said. “That was the very strategic reason we launched the NES Classic system.” The Wii U had been fading fast by early 2016 and the Switch didn’t launch until early 2017. “So while consumers may have been anticipating something, we view these as limited time opportunities. We’ve also now been very clear that as the consumer looks forward to engaging with our classic content that is going to happen more and more with the subscription service. “Would you rule out an N64 Classic coming?” I asked. “I would not ever rule something out,” he said, “but what I can tell you is certainly that’s not in our planning horizon.”

SwitchBlades from Gravilogic: At Gravilogic we have developed a unique Nintendo Switch accessory called Switchblades. Switchblades are rail covers that gives the Switch a more bold and refined appearance which also features a kickstand that provides increased stability, a better viewing angle and folds out of sight into the console profile. This addresses a common complaint that the stock Switch kickstand is unstable and provides an inadequate viewing angle. Supplementary, they protect the electrical connectors from dirt and debris when the joy-cons are detached and make it easier to remove and install into the standard dock. kickstarter launching November 13, 2018 4 tiers: Basic Hardwood-10 options, Trimmed Hardwood-5 options, Galaxy Line-6 options, Executive Line-5 wood inlay options Prices start around $15. Sign up on our website at gravilogic.com to get a launch day notification and feel free to follow us on twitter: @gravilogic.

Final

72 fighters until today!

Final new fighters I like how they went back to the poster a filled it in as they went.
Ken (Echo) His ultimate looks really cool (They disrespect Luigi by calling him a Mario Echo!)
Faster than Ryu
Incineroar (Pokemon?) Based on wrestling (lots of throws)
74 fighters (Start with Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox and Pikachu)

Paid DLC coming! This was kind of telegraphed because Mr. Furukawa said they wanted more DLC in their bigger titles 
    1 fighter 1 stage and music tracks ($5.99)
    Fighters pass
    5 fighters 5 stages and all music trakcs ($24.99) (I'll be buying it)
        Rex Mii Swordfighter

    Limited Time Offer for buying Smash Ultimate NOW
        Pirahnah Plant fighter?!!!
            For physical version register for gold points 
            Or pre-purchase the digital version

Amiibo

King K Rool, and Ice Climbers, Piranha Plant (15 Feb)

Isabelle, Pichu, Ken, Young Link, Daisy (2019)

Characters other than fighters?
Spirits! This is the adventure mode - feels like Gatcha???!?!
Power up your character in battle, kind of like Blades and drivers in Xenoblade
Spirits come in classes Novice > Advanced > Aces > Legends
You assign one spirit at a time (your spirits can get support spirits)

    Spirit battles to get spirits (PvE)

        Support Spirits help you avoid environmental damage 

    There is a weapon triangle

As if a game with a roster this big wasn't going to be hard enough to balance.
    Perhaps they did it to make it so people could balance weaknessess themselves?

Matchmaking is based on what rules you like, Smash Power (ranking) , Proximity

Online battles

Elite Smash - Smash tags (collect for winning)

Spectator mode!  Will be running tournaments on twitch for this

Smash World (gameplay videos / Social media?)

You can turn off the music if you want!!!
