Nintendo Switch

[rygD]

The person I thought we would be getting one for just said they don't plan on getting one for a few years.

Thanks to whoever changed the title.

Price of 299.00. I guess thats what I expected, certainly as a maximum.
It does appear to be a wii, wii u, hybrid.

The various sensors and ir thingie. Can we expect new gameplay experiences with the combining of these? Im not clear as to what the 1,2 switch game is exactly.

Still, I hope the switch catches on. If marketed clearly then maybe it can succeed and do some numbers. If it has plenty of 3rd party support that is.
Its not for me, but I was never the target audience anyhow.

Im not clear as to what the 1,2 switch game is exactly.

It's pretty much Wii Sports from the Wii, or Nintendoland for the Wii U, It's just a bunch of tech demo's of what the new stuff can do. Except instead of packaging it with the system for free, they are charging full price for it.

EDIT:


Am I missing something? This has to be about the dumbest shit I've ever seen, and they are charging for this.

Maybe they will release that Rock Paper Scissors game and give it the ability to connect multiple Switches for local competition. It might have a huge price tag, though.

If milking cows, and playing rock, paper, scissors is the future of gaming, consider me retired.

Think about the porno usage on this game! This must be a winner!

I won't Switch.

At least not this year. I said the same about the WiiU but finally bought one used when I found one for cheap and I am liking it a lot. Nintendo makes good games, what can I do ?

 

[matzesu]

I ditnt need to Switch, as my Only TV Console I have are PS2 and Mini NES,

I preordered the Switch in 70 chades of gray,
Zelda Breath of the Wild, and Mario Kart 8 DX

There is also a Farming Simulator in development,

Who wants motion controls other then Nintendo? Who wants that IR thing? 90 dollars for those 2 joycons... 90 dollars for features that will never be used in any game except if the developer stops you ingame for a gimmick intermission... And who wants that? HD rumble...
And the docking station has heat exhaust, is there another built in fan in the docking station? What kind of hardware did they put in that? 300 dollars is a lot of money for me, and it makes me disapointed when I think of how cheap and lightweight this thing could have been without all that useless crap that I dont want to use, I just want a D-pad and a few buttons and rather a bigger higher res screen of better quality like OLED, and no built in fans anywere, everyone seem disapointed with the hardware capability anyway so lower the frequency or something and have it run without a fan and then it would be perfect IMHO.

[Askarus]

I like it and hope to get one at launch day.

Wii U had great games and enough for me. I still hope Nintendo will make good games.

 

[EvilDragon]

I was seriously hoping for something nice... but 12switch made it hard to take the system seriously.
And according to Heise, Zelda had quite horrible framerate drops when a lot was going on.

The only other game I'd like to try is Mario... and that is announced for christmas... oh boy.
And apart from that? Nothing to show from 3rd party companies, only announcements... and those announcements also existed for the WiiU, we all know how this turned out.

Xenoblade might be nice, but not my type of RPG, same for Fire Emblem.
Mario Kart... never been a fan of.

If Zelda is any good, I'll probably get a preowned WiiU for cheap.

 

[matzesu]

Well, I think it is it worth for me, even whit only one game in the first 2 months

My list of games I want:
- Zelda
- Mario Cart 8 DX
- Splatoon 2
- Mario Oddysse
- Skyrim
- Farming Simulator 2017 (because Traktor)
- Stardew Valley (because Gronkh dit a Lets Play)
- Dragonquest 11
- Lego City Undercover

And I hope Rockstar will make a GTA for it if it's becomes a huge success

Im a big fan of the Hyprid Conzept, because im a Handheld Only Player and whit this New Nintendo Console i have a Handheld and a TV Console..

When I was on a Unimog Convention whit my Dad, I used to take 2 3DS whit me to play Mario Kart in Multiplayer whit him at the evening, ,
Now I can put the Joycons out, , atach the Joycon Straps for better ergonomics, and lend him one, so whe can Play Mario Kart 8DX in Multiplayer..

I hope lots of the Games have this Multiplayer feature..

I quite enjoyed when the SEGA guy popped up and said his piece. It reminded me of crappy Sega presentations of old

But seriously, I've never paid over 150GBP for a Nintendo console, and this presentation hasn't shifted me on that.

Well I missed this... um... very clear demonstration.
Well I can see why they've got this... your supposed stare at your friend and something as ridiculous as this is supposed to make you laugh I guess. It's a party game it's supposed to be simple fun. It's not necessarily for "us"
Big mistake not bundling it though. It should definitely be included with the system.

German (or other Languages) spoken in a Zelda Game,
What could go wrong??

 

[fusion_power]

I still like the Switch from the sober technical and engineering side, Nintendo put some interesting ideas into that little console. I like the modular concept and the design choices they made to achive that hybrid concept.
I'm not saying it will be a great and sucessful console but since we know how hard the Console/handheld market is, Nintendo made a brave choice.
I would hire some of their engineers for sure.
