OMG the Pro Controller is $70.

Joycons are $50 for one $40 for two.

gently caress you Nintendo. gently caress you so so so so much.

I have a one hundred and fifty dollar xbone elite controller and it is really good

I'm gonna buy a pro controller at launch for sure and get a joycon pack when something actually uses it which will probably be mario kart, lol

Settle down with this crybaby poo poo man, that's how much xbone / ps4 controllers were at launch too. They're still $50 and up.

Like of all the things you could go with after that shitshow presentation, this is what you chose?

Yea, but they tend to come with the controller. If you want the system, Zelda, and a pro controller at launch you are looking at 450-500 dollars after tax.

I have no issues throwing money around, and would probably grab this just for Zelda at a flat 300 since I don't own a Wiiu, but 450+ would make me hesitate.

What if zelda was a boy???????????????????????????????????????????????

Also yes, zelda is a strong rear end princess. No need to cry unless this is a game where she is younger version of herself. Even then: less anime crys plz.

This is the price people pay for insisting that Nintendo add voice acting to Zelda.

I don't really see why people are pissed about paying for online service, you've been doing it for years now. It doesn't bother me much, I'm perfectly happy to go without, and I don't think I'll be using the Switch for its incredible online services anyway.

I mean, if it runs well, sure, but the thing is gonna be portable and wi-fi so I mean, you're not running Overwatch on that.

Everyone would be happier if they just stopped the hardware BS and focused on the only thing they are good at, making Mario and Zelda games.

God no. As much as they already do run the market, a console market of just Sony and Microsoft is loving disgusting.

Internal memory is just 32 gigs, with some used by the systems OS, so barely a game?

You can add memory cards to expand it but still, that's tiny.

Did anything Laura say turn out to be true?

NCL deliberately dropped BG&E2 and the Rabbids RPG from the event just to gently caress with her.

It will only hurt more when they are revealed at E3 and people are upset at how Nintendo is wasting time on these titles "We've already known about for over half a year.", like when Pac-Man and Palutena were announced for Smash at E3 2014 but were leaked almost an entire year prior.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

Tender Bender posted:

My favorite anecdote about Chronicles X is that I came across a quest marker out in the world, but I couldn't start the quest, it told me I had to get a pre-requisite quest first. That pre-requisite quest was a quest you get from the mission board, that literally just tells you to go to the spot I had found on my own, to begin the quest. I went to the mission board and was unable to get the pre-requisite quest because the mission board only shows a few of its quests at a time and they are randomly cycled through every time you load the game.

Yeah that's Xenoblade Chronicles X alright.

I still want to know how the gently caress the joycons are conveying information to the switch, and what kind of batteries they take/how long they last. I kept waiting for them to touch on it during the presentation but they never did, so I'm just going to assume they run on unicorn farts and the dreams of small children.
