Not on PC. The couch multiplayer revolution is in full swing there. There's a new game I see practically every day on /r/localmultiplayergames, it's nuts. I have like 20-30 local multi games in Steam, and I have 7 or 8 more on my wishlist right now that I wanna get.

If indie companies can publish to Switch easily, it could be the best thing to ever happen to multiplayer. Imagine playing Mount Your Friends or Duck Game on this.

I think those two games were chosen because they are extremely recognizable and there's no good solution to playing games like them on the go currently.

This might be the first console I ever pre-order. Or at least buy at launch.

When Skyrim appeared in the commercial I actually gasped because I'm apparently the target demo for buying a five year old game that can go portable. That, and the Mexican inspired Mario, obvious GOTY 2017 Breath of the Wind, and apparent compatibility with the Wii U is getting me excited. I'm definitely interested to see how the portable aspect of the Switch works more than the home console though . (Show me the framerates.)

I'm hoping it's that. Base console + Nintendo Switch Sportsland for 300 and Base Console, NSS, Pro Controller and Breath of the Wild/Mario 3D 64 Galaxy for 400.

It's unrealistic as gently caress, especially bringing it to a night time basketball game. You'd just be asking to get mugged in some places. This ad may convince some desperate loners though for the party situation, but yes the result would probably have a negative impact on their lives. As long as it's a sale for Nintendo, I guess the ad works!

Yeah seriously, couch multiplayer is as popular as gently caress right now. I could see not thinking that if you only do consoles, but they got rocket league and The ps4 is getting gang beasts.

If I remember correctly there was a report that it's about 3x as powerful as the Wii U in terms of GFLOPs, which would put it around Xbox One level.

Nintendo games should have no framerate trouble at all. Skyrim... well it's Bethesda so I'll be impressed if it stays 30.

It sounds like it's "popular as gently caress" on PC, which means it doesn't translate to "popular as gently caress" in a real sense because that depends entirely on a couch being part of a PC setup.

Also sports games on consoles are huge couch coop games and always have been, but Games pretends sports games don't count because people who had sex in high school like them.

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

Welcome to the future

10 pages back but if that's the case I'm curious how you think the controller halves will charge, QI charging? Because if so then lol.

This thing looks like it's going to be a nightmare in the battery department, you have three separate pieces to charge, what happens when the controllers die? Is the only way to charge it to connect them back to the console and leave it on it's dock?
