Cicadas! posted:Fuuuuuuck I can't wait til March I need this poo poo immediately it's arguably their only feasible option. their success is based almost entirely on the quality of their first party games, and it inherently undermines one or both of their systems by having to split titles between the wii u and the 3DS. i probably would have bought a wii u if it had animal crossing, for example. it's baffling for people to call this a gimmick. it is the opposite of a gimmick, it is a functional solution to a real problem.

Here's the truly important thing: is Switch the new 64? Super Mario Switch? Mario Kart Switch? Splatoon Switch?

Can't wait for the Monster Hunter announcement. This system is pretty much perfect for it. Monhun on the go, Monhun with your friends, get home and Monhun on a giant TV. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Sea Sponge Run posted:i mean it could be the hd remaster version of skyrim that isn't actually out yet I think the bigger thing here is that Bethesda is even bothering to release something on a Nintendo system is pretty significant. Even a moderate sales success would suggest continued support for say, Dishonored 2.

Can we talk about the fact that the default controller is the JOY-CON GRIP? It houses the JOY CONS! No matter what you think of this thing, everyone's gonna end up with one. It's Nintendo. It's required. The second the Monster Hunter team puts out some HD images or the Pokemon devs tease a new game, everyone who doesn't jump at the start will be on board.

Alternatively: hell yes a Nintendo handheld that isn't 6 years old and hamstrung by an insanely low res screen and whatever other sacrifices they had to make to get 3d going.

This is the thing people who are snubbing the NS or on the fence need to remember. We're very likely going to get big, pretty versions of everything that's basically handheld only right now. Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Ace Attorney, Monster Hunter, you name it.

Hopefully the partnership with Nvidia means better accessibility for western devs who have been out of the dedicated handheld business for really long now. If this thing will steadily get ports of easier to run games I'm all for getting it as an indie machine with Nintendo on the side. Also Platinum is included in the list of confirmed devs. If Switch gets stuff like Bayo and Wonderful 101 sequels too I'm sold.

If Splatoon 2 isn't just called "Spla2n", then I don't even know what the point is. Tender Bender posted:Can't wait for the Monster Hunter announcement. This system is pretty much perfect for it. Monhun on the go, Monhun with your friends, get home and Monhun on a giant TV. Yes. Yes. Yes. Maybe they'll finally update the models so the monsters look less like PS2 assets. They don't really have an excuse to not do a graphical pass if they're moving back onto an HD system. I will still buy MH5 if even if it looks like an up-scaled Wii game, though

Soul Glo posted:This is exactly why Zelda's frame rate in portable mode looking chunky is disconcerting to me  though I'm hoping that's just related to the overall video or something. It didn't even look like LoZ was hitting 30FPS, it looked choppy as gently caress. I doubt that's how it'll actually play though; honestly my feeling is less "I hope Nintendo doesn't think that's an acceptable framerate" and more "who at Nintendo is getting fired for letting their world-reveal trailer show such crappy-looking video"

Jsor posted:My concern is that if this replaces Nintendo's portable niche as well (which is a big if), the graphical requirements and thus development costs (and likely prices) are going to balloon. It makes the market less friendly to smaller developers. Right now the 3DS gets a lot of support partially because they don't have to spend nearly as much on high quality, high resolution assets. I mean games like Shovel Knight and Binding of Isaac don't exactly need awesome graphics. The Switch looks like all of Nintendo's other TV consoles - a compliment to an Xbox/Playstation/PC. I wonder what OS it runs? AndroidTV would be great (SPMC/Kodi/Plex on the go), but that's unlikely. Nintendo should buy a From Software exclusive souls-like game ala Bloodborne. Zelda and Mario look cool but that's what $360 for two games? Also if Square is in maybe some RPGs would be ported. The traditional RPG market kind of sucks nowadays.

Phimosissy posted:I realized that since both sides of the removable controller deal are wireless, there are no contacts to get mucked up by goony cheetofingers when it reconnects which means it's very likely using wireless even when it's physically connected Nah, that seems impractical for a couple of reasons. First, why leave two unused batteries attached to the screen and not utilize them? And second, might as well have a direct contact and eliminate lag.
