"Appended to its own quotation is false" appended to its own quotation is false.
The switch will be the first home console expressly designed for those who spend inordinate amounts of time lurking on the toilet. People will think you're masturbating in there, but oh no! You're just getting your Nintendo on.

Or maybe both.

I am very excited for the Switch and am most excited to play a Wii U game on it!

Also Mario, I hope both of those games are at launch. C'mon Nintendo, this could be your last console, go buckwild.

the triforce monhan heroes sequel we need and deserve
bring back p'ink as the 'void triangle' in the middle of the triforce and have 1->4 players by wirelessly connecting two switches or up to 4 online

and then i can beat the entire thing while micromanaging 1-3 doppels in singleplayer because everyone online will be bad at the game again anyways

Make Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask, Windwaker, Twilight Princess, and any zelda that can be played with a controller in HD and I'll buy a switch and all of those.

I couldn't find any stores that took preorders in the first place, so I don't think it's so much a case of "they sold out instantly!!" as it is a case of "Nintendo didn't give retailers a lot of info".

Do they make games besides those? I'm pretty sure they have not made a sale on any game that isn't AA and MH in the last month.

There's also Street Fighter, barely. Sony had to finance it.

Resident Evil is still ticking along at a healthy pace, except I don't really give a poo poo. I'll probably watch a VR Let's Play of RE7 out of sheer curiosity.

Dead Rising is still a thing, kinda.

They should make more Dead Rising games that are kind of spin off titles. Chop till you Drop was actually good. A lot of people didn't think so, but I kind of agree with Portscenter on it.

I have not found evidence suggesting that Street Fighter has existed since the last quarter outside of Capcom using it as a virus.

I'll concede RE and DR, tho.

This was probably a given, Nintendo dropped out of the specs race long ago. Hopefully this means developing for the Switch is cheaper than on the other platforms, but it still needs to have a large enough user base to make it worth it.

I don't understand who this audience is who want to play hypothetical future PS4-type games on the Switch who don't already have a PS4. People who are too lazy to hit the Input button on their remote and pick up a different controller? I want the Switch for games I'll never* be able to play on my PC/PS4.

The Switch will probably be much easier to emulate than the Wii and Wii U due to the (comparably) simple control scheme. Less time has to be spent worrying just how the heck to get it to work
