I'm gonna hold off until we see what the actual launch lineup is, but this is probably a preorder for me.

The N64 was kinda an exception when it came to Nintendo and frame rate plus I doubt they'll suddenly stop caring about that now that people actually pay attention to that poo poo.

I was joking with the OoT comment but Wind Waker HD was developed in-house and suffered from drops to 20-ish in some places. This was certainly due to poor optimization and I imagine the port was a fairly rushed job despite its attention to the original game's flaws, but still.

Now that we're done with that, can we address my very serious concerns regarding this reveal trailer, like the fact that nobody in real life actually plays video games with a look on their face like they're jizzing their pants over and over even if they're playing a really good game on an exciting new console

No.

haha..best comment in the last 5 pages. I love the idea of what they are trying to do, but knowing Nintendo it will be poorly implemented and marketed. Thus making it the next Wiiu.

:agreed: Was it the DS that first had the "2 people can play but only 1 person needs the actual game card?" IIRC they pushed that pretty hard as a great social aspect of the system.

Many pages back but the GBA actually could do this with some games. You still needed a link cable, though.

The frame rate discussion is a poor topic and something purely full of conjecture. Please can we avoid it and talk about other things.

besides, that's not what the discussion was, countless people seriously suggested that the final console could have framerate issues...

It could have performance issues--that's a legitimate thing to wonder about a mobile platform with unknown specs. Obviously people are going to zero in on the only available footage of this thing, even for the sake of conjecture.

By this logic wouldn't any discussion of anything based on what we saw in the video be full of conjecture?

Also why again were all the people in reveal trailer #1 of a Japanese console white hipsters in America, does nobody in Japan buy consoles these days and if that's not it why was there not at least one sequence where a Japanese hipster euphorically uses his 15 daily minutes of free time to play Metroid or whatever in his micro-apartment

With the popularity of Dark Souls and super hard pixel games lately, maybe they should have people playing their games while looking loving furious.

Rooftop playing is not optimal due to it being impossible to see most screens in direct sunlight, take that NYC elite

I am just realizing it's gonna be kind of weird that this will be the first Nintendo handheld that you pretty much cannot fit in your pocket.

One other thing I realized is that it looks like they are showing there will be a headrest accessory, since it snapped right in when they were playing in the Scooby van thing

This run on sentence is hard to read but I think they're targetting 20-somethings to 30-somethings, at least with this initial marketing.

Maybe not 1 pocket but you could disconnect the controllers and put the screen in one pocket, the controllers in the other, all your games in a 3rd pants pocket.

Pretty much every pocket on your body should be filled with Nintendo poo poo and you'll be ready to game in any social situation anywhere

I know Nintendo sells refurb'd ones on their website. Game recommendations? I know I want to play:

Smash 4
Splatoon
Xenoblade X
Super Mario 3D World

Uhhh I know there's more good stuff than that but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

Edit: Also it would be cool if there's some sort of backwards compatibility with Switch but who the gently caress knows with that right now.
