Go ahead and make your jokes, while I enjoy the wonderful games that Nintendo will be bringing to the Switch. I'll also be enjoying my Ps4, Xb1, and PC, along with all my other consoles (PS 1, 2, 3, Xbox 360, Sega Saturn, Genesis, Dreamcast, Wii, Wii U, SNES, NES, 3ds and so on and the games that I own), because I'm what they call a gamer. I don't need to choose sides.
Joshua Davis Zelda and Rayman are fantastic games. As well as Mario, Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid, Gears of War, Halo, and so on...I've enjoyed many games over the years from all sides and I'll continue to do so.
I like how they're switching it up for the sequel giving you a different character rather than playing as the same one. this is going to be a blast to play
***** Nobody huh? So you speak for the entire 3DS audience? The 3D screen on the new 3DS is great and gives games way more impressive visuals. I almost never turn it off.
People complaining about d pads, believe me I feel your pain too, but you need to realise that half of their marketing about having 2 controllers (joy cons) would not be possible if a d pad was on the switch. If that were the case, one of the controllers would have a significant advantage over the other as it would have clearly defined buttons to press and actuate easily.
The fact that you can't play these types of games with a dpad on what's supposed to be a NINTENDO CONSOLE is insane. Nintendo had better make a replacement left joycon with an actual dpad.
chriseatschopsuey you don't understand the reason those arrow buttons replace the D-pad is because when you play two player with the two joycons ,one of them will have the one with the arrow buttons and since there buttons it will fill more natural,but if it was the D pad it would feel weird.
Mauricio Robayo The 3ds stick is a bit different than the switch stick. The 3ds one is flat and "slides" while the switch sticks out a bit as a real analog stock
Can we please go one Nintendo Switch video without the nonsense bashing? No one is forcing you to buy it. Plus it has a great lineup this year so please give it a chance.
klarkus this year, we have breath of the wild, arms, splatoon, mario odyssey, xenoblade 2, and so much more! If thats not a great lineup for this year idk what is
AnDCaster - You would need to pick up a power pack, as overseas model will probably use different power supply. Actually having most stores tell me here in Australia that shipment one is sold out.
olimario It's alright. It takes a little getting used to with the buttons being seperated and all but yeah, the Pro controller is better for 2D platformers because it has a regular DPad.
Might be the video quality or because the game has so many dark colors. Does this display look lower quality compared to the ones we seen at the Nintendo Switch events? I really hope they aren't pulling an another ips and tn display screens Once again this might be because of the game itself using more darker colors or the camera.
Specter Knight looks like a really good character to play as, still got this to play on my Wii U but if the Specter Knight content won't be coming to the Wii U I'd be tempted just to get the Switch version later in the year when I get a Switch. Have they said if it will come to the Wii U version?
CalGore94 Well it wasn't gonna get it on Shovel Knight's launch like the Wii U and 3DS did. To be fair though it had a better reason than every other console for having to wait.
CalGore94 How is that Nintendo's call to make? If a developer wants to port a 2 year old game, it should not be used as a negative toward Nintendo. Also, the Switch is getting the new DLC first. Nice try trolling though. Oh wait, no it wasn't.
Joshua Davis meh that's pretty good considering you're playing AAA games. You can buy a large battery pack for barely anything these days and charge it via that
Looks great except for the fact its missing a DPad. This game screams to be played with a dpad. Hopefully Nintendo will announce a dpad joy-con L soon.
Subscribe me.. HA! Made you subscribe! the buttons underneath the joystick aren't what I would consider a DPAD. Unless there is another joy-con I'm not familiar with. On the plus side you can play it with a controller with a dpad on a television but you can already do that on several other systems.
kakarot134 Nah man I love this game and have enjoyed the first expansion. Looking forward to more and playing it on the go with the Switch. So what part do you think was the joke?
Shadbolt001 the screens are the same size but it is smaller than the gamepad overall. You can see the difference here www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/2/2/14482712/nintendo-switch-vs-wii-u-gamepad
I don't know the full facts about the game's switch release, but I think they should release the switch version with an exclusive guest character, like the battletoads or Kratos, to boost incentive to buy the switch version
King Bradberry im just suprised that the console itself is that small but it looks cool i hope that they'll be plenty in stock at launch so far no one has updated on their status on more pre orders.
wow, someone who knows how to play games at IGN. finally
He's very good at Shovel Knight. I'm impressed.
Zachary Kemp My thoughts, too. The skillful playing in this video draws attention to this games promising mechanics.
Darn, you beat me to it ;D
Too bad there's no d-pad on the joycons. I was getting triggered by the use of the analog stick until I realized he had no choice.
asxciie There is a d pad.
Shovel is such a spectacular indie game, I'm glad to have played this game, can't wait to pick up treasure trove for the switch :)
Yes, shovel is good game I like to dig without one personally tho
are, are you a keyblade wielder?
King Bazi yes sir, I weld the shovel keyblade, which unlocks the path to strike the earth, and make my dear foes tremble in the name of shovelry
deep
Finally, an IGN gameplay video where the player is actually somewhat good at the game he's playing

Timothy Alvarez What Rayman and Zelda?!
Timothy Alvarez Glad there are gamers with logic in them and care more about what the games have to offer rather than power and graphics
Timothy Alvarez tell them bro...i also have the consoles you named..i agree with you
we are considered the true elite gamers, every system plus pc!!
Joshua Davis Zelda and Rayman are fantastic games. As well as Mario, Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid, Gears of War, Halo, and so on...I've enjoyed many games over the years from all sides and I'll continue to do so.
finally a game that can fully show the 1080p and 60fps power of the Switch !!!
Arms, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Fast RMX are all 1080p and 60 fps.
the portable version can only show 720 :)
DARK DRAKONIS It's 720p and 30fps lol
for that type in Redout Nitendo Switch gameplay troll. It's a PC game running at 1080p 60fps
《X-RAGENATOR》 Nope, 60 fps, but it is 720p on the handheld.
the new 3ds is great ...
defo8811 theres a new 3ds. Its callled new 3ds.
Rck Lmao
the new new 3ds is great
Yeah, the new 3ds looks great.. But this is the Switch.
The new 3ds is pretty great, the switch is so much better though!
Jake's work on the versions of the music is just spectacular
I like how they're switching it up for the sequel giving you a different character rather than playing as the same one. this is going to be a blast to play
Legit Shovel Kngiht skills on display.
Really wish they would have put a 3D screen on the switch. Shovel Knight on the 3DS looks great in 3D.
Agreed, but the Switch has a strong emphasis on sharing the experience with others, and 3D isn't suitable for that.
Merry Blind Well you could always turn off the 3D when playing with more then one person.
***** Nobody huh? So you speak for the entire 3DS audience? The 3D screen on the new 3DS is great and gives games way more impressive visuals. I almost never turn it off.
If the switch had 3D, it would cost even more.
Jacques Nomdefamille Same

chriseatschopsuey Isn't that a d pad under the joystick?
TCP Gaming I've heard it's completely unacceptable as a D-Pad for fighting games and 2D games.
TCP Gaming Not really.
chriseatschopsuey you don't understand the reason those arrow buttons replace the D-pad is because when you play two player with the two joycons ,one of them will have the one with the arrow buttons and since there buttons it will fill more natural,but if it was the D pad it would feel weird.
The Pro-Controller has a D-Pad so it's not dead
I'm sold I can really dig this
That soundtrack is amazing!!
Looks good! Was just playing this on my gpd droidbox playon a few minutes ago.
Analog stick on a platformer? Cmon, man. Otherwise, the video is fantastic.
theres no dpad on the joycons
There is a d-pad of sorts underneath it, they even used it in a previous video. I guess this guy's just weird \(._.)/
what's wrong with using analog?
Derek Chapman *conceited face* You sure 'bout dat, dawg¿
those are buttons, not a true dpad
I dunno why, but the boss's laugh at the end cracked me up.
I can't wait for this. One of my favorite games!
I played platforms in the 3DS using the "stick", whats the problem with that?
Mauricio Robayo The 3ds stick is a bit different than the switch stick.
The 3ds one is flat and "slides" while the switch sticks out a bit as a real analog stock
What's plugged into the Switch, is it the power cable???
badazzboxer headphones
badazzboxer likely capturing the audio for this video.
This video makes me even happier I have the switch preordered
Can we please go one Nintendo Switch video without the nonsense bashing? No one is forcing you to buy it. Plus it has a great lineup this year so please give it a chance.
klarkus - The PS4 had four new retail titles at launch, the XBone had six. Everything else was a port or multi-platform offering.
Not another troll. What is the issue with the lineup this year?
klarkus this year, we have breath of the wild, arms, splatoon, mario odyssey, xenoblade 2, and so much more! If thats not a great lineup for this year idk what is
Is there any chance that Capcom may make a new game of Ace Attorney? It's so damn good
Venti Tre There is Dai Gyuken Saiban 2 this year.
The Plains of Passage remix is fantastic.
Shovel Knight is such a great game! Got it on Wii U and PS4. Looks like it's coming to my Switch!
The music is fantastic!
I tried preorder the switch sold out quick lol.. I wonder if I preorder oversea will it work in America?
AnDCaster not worth it. Id rather wait
should do. it's region free
I didn't know it was region free... It's available everywhere but America lol.
AnDCaster - You would need to pick up a power pack, as overseas model will probably use different power supply.
Actually having most stores tell me here in Australia that shipment one is sold out.
OTPulse thanks a lot I'll look see if I can find good price on the system overseas and buy ac adapter..
I love the soundtrack! Video games music should get more attention by reviewers and dedicated channels.
that D-Pad must be utterly worthless if they are using analog
olimario yep!
olimario It's alright. It takes a little getting used to with the buttons being seperated and all but yeah, the Pro controller is better for 2D platformers because it has a regular DPad.
It's so worthless is not even there!
Except using the pro controller means not using the system in handheld mode...
Was the audio edited at all, or did it really sound that smooth?
got to take my hat off to the big N! (comparitively) inferior specs on just about every level, yet I can't wait to get one. That's genius right there!
Is that thing in the bottom left a d pad below the analog stick just wondering
FINALLY my favorite undead Knight is getting his own dlc!
can you use the directional buttons to move your character?
How cool is the music!
Going to get this.
For sure.
Man I'm just hype for Specter of Torment. I'll probably get it on my PS3 though.
THD If you aren't getting it for everything you are gaming wrong.
When is it coming out? They said it was not going to be on carts, so digital store?
I hope this gets a physical release on the switch!
Will it be the same story as before now with specter Knight? Or a continuation to the first story
Might be the video quality or because the game has so many dark colors.
Does this display look lower quality compared to the ones we seen at the Nintendo Switch events?
I really hope they aren't pulling an another ips and tn display screens
Once again this might be because of the game itself using more darker colors or the camera.
KeeperOfWind most likely the camera
Specter Knight looks like a really good character to play as, still got this to play on my Wii U but if the Specter Knight content won't be coming to the Wii U I'd be tempted just to get the Switch version later in the year when I get a Switch. Have they said if it will come to the Wii U version?
it seems kind of strange that you use in the analog stick but I guess it's just that comfortable
what sort of game file size are we looking at on the switch was thinking 200gb sd card and going digital only ?? zelda will buy on cartridge though
I've heard Zelda is like 13 gb
Prompto the Fabulousss yh just looked 13.4gb on switch 13 on wii u. tempted to just go digital anyway
Looks solid. I finished original Shovel Knight, but didn't manage to beat Plague Knight.
I love it how modern this new console look ^^. It can be the next thing and we don't need a handheld and console of Nintendo anymore !
it's like a dream, perfect game.
This looks so fresh!!!
Never played Shovel Knight before, as long as this is not significantly higher priced than the PC or VITA version, I will 100% get it on switch.
A 2 year old indie game! Nintendo is literally perfect!
CalGore94 And Xbox and PS4 is riddled with massives new games.
Literally no ports nor remasters in sight!
This is a new DLC for the game!
CalGore94 Well it wasn't gonna get it on Shovel Knight's launch like the Wii U and 3DS did. To be fair though it had a better reason than every other console for having to wait.
CalGore94 How is that Nintendo's call to make? If a developer wants to port a 2 year old game, it should not be used as a negative toward Nintendo. Also, the Switch is getting the new DLC first. Nice try trolling though. Oh wait, no it wasn't.
This is a new DLC. Also Nintendo had the original Shovel Knight *at release,* so no they aren't behind on it.
guess what? i got a fever! and the only prescription... is more dpad!
RAW graphical performance, take that PC!!
This looks amazing
Never played shovel Knight looks fun, guess I'll buy it on the switch.
Precisionjoker 7 i highly recommend it dood.
Ninja Gaiden in Shovel Knight. ;)
Ninja Gaiden is old and hard
Exiled Mind LOL! You're thinking too literally. It's just a shortcut of how the character was inspired by the old Ninja Gaiden game.
Dont Know what i want more the Nintendo Switch or The Dlc I want both now
Nintendo is so stubborn it's frightening.
How so?
It is frightening, im pretty scared tbh
Don't be so upset at my statement. Be upset with that HD Game Gear having 2-6 hour battery life.......
Joshua Davis meh that's pretty good considering you're playing AAA games. You can buy a large battery pack for barely anything these days and charge it via that
Yeah making the most powerful portable ever that's also playable as a console is "stubborn".
Music is soooooooo good.
that's rob the robots reflection you can see why he's playing this
Just a FYI IGN, I think your video is set to Limited RGB, because it looks washed out. Just a heads up so that next time you upload them in Full RGB.
Does anyone know when this game will be released?
Kirk Buffington it will be released in spring so be Patient
I'd like to see/play this with the Switch Pro Controller, DPAD FTW!
.. he isn't using the d-pad. TRIGGERED
when will it finaly come out on 3ds ?
Looks great except for the fact its missing a DPad. This game screams to be played with a dpad. Hopefully Nintendo will announce a dpad joy-con L soon.
Mandoreen those buttons under the joystick can be used as a dpad as well!
Mandoreen There is a dpad. The person who's playing isn't using it
I'd rather use a Dpad for buttons than buttons for a Dpad.
Subscribe me.. HA! Made you subscribe! the buttons underneath the joystick aren't what I would consider a DPAD. Unless there is another joy-con I'm not familiar with. On the plus side you can play it with a controller with a dpad on a television but you can already do that on several other systems.
It looks so sexy... any idea on release date for Switch?
Evan Saxon Are you joking?
kakarot134 Nah man I love this game and have enjoyed the first expansion. Looking forward to more and playing it on the go with the Switch. So what part do you think was the joke?
Did this just come out?!?
You mean there are people who play sidescrollers with the analog stick?
Can't wait!
if the Switch has a gyroscope sensor then racing games on the go will be amazing..
in this video the switch looks really small o.O
Yeah when it tried it out the switch was a lot smaller than i though it would be. At least it will be easy to carry around
Dominic Hepburn I've tried it too but it felt bigger than what it looks in this video xD
CristleTad It's about the size as a Wii u gamepad for what I have heard
NOVA the screen is the exact same size (both 6.2 in.) so use that for reference
Shadbolt001 the screens are the same size but it is smaller than the gamepad overall. You can see the difference here
www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/2/2/14482712/nintendo-switch-vs-wii-u-gamepad
did it come out already
geez the switch is just so small and nice.i cant understand why some people cant come to turms with the fact its not much more powerful then a wii u.
For a device this slim and small, thats quite an achievement. Most powerful handheld gaming device ever.
I'll love my switch with legend of zelda because its handheld then when I got to my room I can play it on the big screen.
I own it for the Vita, really awsome game.
i wish people that make shovel knight would be able to remake demons crest
old school shit! only true OG gamers will understand
looks cool will surely rebuy:P
How long would the battery run with this game?
JH Sounds 6-5 hours
Am I the only one who thinks the music doesnt really fit somehow? Maybe in context it’ll sound better but idk.
guhhhh when is this going to be updated to the hard copies?!!!!
look how awkwardly his right thumb is placed, definitely needs more room for the bigger handed people
u get a pro controller for that. Im used to these controls since it's the same on the 3DS
Concelhaut my point exactly, you have to spend more money on another accessory just to make it more comfortable...
Will Shovel Knight come as a physical game to switch?
Should i buy the switch, or wait a little for games?
OMG Its a big win for me if they got popular Indie games like Stardew Valley in Switch XD
YouKnowWho they're porting it to the the switch.
Can't they release something new on Switch?
why didnt i get the neon switch :(
BUT WHEN IS SPECTRE OF TORMENT RELEASING
I suppose Plague of Shadows also come with this, right?
EvilRickMaster yes it will
Never played it, going to buy it.
damn this what happens when mega man and king arthur makes a baby huh. I can dig it.
When is it coming out for all platforms?
2017
Redfax201 spector of torment comes out in march for the switch, and all other platforms will get it in april of this year
Thanks :)
Redfax201 anytime friend :)
Redfax201 this game is coming out in 1982.
I don't know the full facts about the game's switch release, but I think they should release the switch version with an exclusive guest character, like the battletoads or Kratos, to boost incentive to buy the switch version
i own this on pc. but i may buy a second copy for switch cuz thats what i always wanted was shovel kngith on the switch
is that how small the switch is in handeld mode?
wacey murphy 6.2 inches look at a iPhone 7+ it is a bit bigger
King Bradberry im just suprised that the console itself is that small but it looks cool i hope that they'll be plenty in stock at launch so far no one has updated on their status on more pre orders.
this is gonna be great all it needs is to be able to dl kodi and it's perfect lol
ok why isnt this a launch title?
Next gen graphics indeed
Im going to be able to play this on my vita too.....
Will get physical?
I'm getting the switch but I'm waiting for a super mario edition with the odyssey game so have to wait until holidays
Jacob Johanson yea but still keep my hopes up bro or at least a mario bundle
