This is your reminder that the Super Nintendo had about three games at launch. It's just that one of them was Mario so you didn't care.

It had 5, including Mario and F Zero. A week later 5 more games were released. Then 4 more before the first month was over. And a total of 31 before the year was over.

It released on 8/23.

What was your point?

I'm referring to big "epic" JRPGs.

Trails in the Sky would qualify but it is from 2004. Haven't played Steel too much but it was a bit disappointing from what I've played. Tales games basically never make that cut since they focus on quantity over quality. Digimon lol. Atelier. lol.

Atelier has better combat and music than xenoblade

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.

This actually worked out just fine for the Wii U, buy a proper external drive for WAY cheaper than they'd charge for anything and boom download everything.

That said it's kinda moot here cause we're back on tiny rear end carts instead of having a bunch of big dumb disks to deal with. I don't see me getting external memory unless the eshop downloads somehow fill up the thing

cold steel isn't as painfully slow as sky, and tales of berseria and tales of graces f are fully featured, big rpgs that take 60-80 hours to beat so iunno why they wouldn't count.

because they aren't as good as Xenoblade Chronicles. Sure they may be similar in scope, but not quality. Xenoblade Chronicles is up there with some of the creme de la crop JRPGs (IMO).

With 58 million sold as of a full year ago, it's got years left on it, even with competition from the switch. Most of the companies already have the software and training to make good use of it, and the dual screens is a useful feature.

If anything I can see the 3ds hurting the switch and not the other way around.

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.

Nintendo's consoles usually don't have that big of a user base as it is. It also will have less games than the PS4 and XBO. So why pay for a subscription service for a game when all your friends are playing it on PS4 with PSN? It will just make their online usebase even smaller as it is.

Also, I assume some people actively pay for Live and PS+, and it will be a third subscription.

They don't require for players to actually pay for the service. Hence PC gaming and Steam, GOG Galaxy, etc. etc.
