The thought that you're just giving everyone in your household a next-gen console as a replacement for your Game Boy is absurd to me. I mean, if it's gonna be $300 like we think it is, if that family was rich enough to give every kid a $200 device, they are probably rich enough to give every kid a $300 device.

elf help book posted:Let's be honest, the real argument is always "It will fail, because Nintendo is dumb and I am the smartest businessman alive." For real. Like, the Switch looks like it owns, and I'm Day 1ing the thing. It's just sad that there are these weird expectations for it already that are very clearly wrong.

I saw kids doing this in a botanical garden recently and I thought it was adorable but also taking 3D pictures is a cool idea.

I don't see how giving kids Game Boys and GBA SPs and tiny game boy advance cartridges is different, but now suddenly THIS gameboy also has parts and kids will lose them! It's like not buying a wii because the remote might slip out of the kid's hand and break the TV like that one kid did, so instead of telling them to be careful, just don't even let them try to be responsible. Takoluka posted:I have never met a child I could trust with an iPad. They can happily learn to use and enjoy them just like anything else. My 2- and 3- year old nieces use one to play games and stuff and they know how to navigate it just fine. Sure there are kids who would smash an etch-a-sketch if you handed it to them, but many kids know how to treat things they like with care.

Takoluka posted:I have never met a child I could trust with an iPad. i mean the latter is dumb but the idea that this isn't equally a console and a portable, and that it will replace the 3DS eventually, is pretty stupid too. what possible reason could nintendo have for designing such a thing if doesn't sunset a secondary product line and allow them to focus all development resources on a single platform?

i can't really imagine how kids could lose the controllers when out and about since they'll almost certainly be playing the system with the controllers attached anyway but maybe i'm giving children too much credit

It would be super easy for them to take the controllers off to play Mario Kart or whatever and then get distracted, put the controllers down and go play on a slide or something and then lose the whole system.

the most important thing about the joycons is, wasn't there some patent for controllers that don't use batteries using some acoustic wizardry? but its also a very simple and cheap mechanism? well, i hope that's the case, because that would be cool.

Real hurthling! posted:nintendo has invented free energy the talk about it was hundreds of pages back, its not anything at all like free energy, basically the kinetic energy of pushing a button generates a specific frequency/pattern of sound that would be picked up by some sort of speaker on the receiving unit. it sounds like it would be something that would be kind of hard to make reliable and stable but perhaps not impossible

Real hurthling! posted:the right joycon has ir oh yeah idk then. im not really predicting that the NX will have passive induction buttons, i don't actually think it's likely, but it'd be cool. they could be doing some wacky thing with a small, cheap battery that can run the ir for far longer than you'll have the thing disconnected from the machine, which can charge the battery easily i guess, but that's really pushing it

Snooze Cruise posted:The switch comes with 3 replacement pairs of joycons. theres no point, children, despite being gross and sticky literally all the time so you'd think tiny joycons would just like stick to their hand, will just lose those too. in fact if you put a joycon anywhere near a child, it will just vanish.

It would be super easy for them to take the controllers off to play Mario Kart or whatever and then get distracted, put the controllers down and go play on a slide or something and then lose the whole system. that's not an issue that's caused by the existence of detachable controllers, though. if kids are gonna lose the system then they're gonna lose it but i'm not really sure that saying "kids will lose the detachable parts" is that valid a criticism

If a child touches a joycon it will be absorbed into the shambling mass they call a body, never to be seen again. The only logical conclusion is to limit ownership of the switch to enterprising goon adults like myself
