How the gently caress did the world's most pissy pissbabies all find this thread?

Well, we all thought Nintendo would change after the failure with the Wii U. Instead, they doubled down on the stupidity. It sucks, especially for old school Nintendo fans. Even me. When all it would take is a littlle less nickel and diming, and providing real value. Say, for instance, an online service that lets us keep those thirty year old NES games as we aubscribe to their likely over paid and hilariously lovely online service. Or, Say, the pro controller we bought with a poo poo console in the Wii U, to keep Nintendo afloat, maybe the new one should be 39 or maybe, just maybe, they can allow the loving old one to work with the new one? Holy gently caress. Maybe they could launch something that isn't so loving anti consumerism?

This entire launch makes Microsoft look like Jesus Christ. Think about that. And then continue on your paid for post crusade and find a new job. Preferably one with ethics.

its obviously not the worst, with the wii u people weren't even sure what was being launched

the sad thing is that i own a wii u and it has the best exclusive lineup of this generation by far but no one knows it thanks to it being a dumb piece of hardware

For this to be the worst console launch you've ever seen it must be the only console launch you've ever seen.

Like even the PS4 Pro was more underwhelming since they still have no compelling reason to buy the thing. Not even A Game. The Xbox One launch was a trash fire unlike anything the world has ever seen. The Wii U launch was so bad the average consumer didn't even know it was a console

E: and that's just recent history

Just let it shine through
The worst launch in video games, for a console that could've actually had a chance in modern times, is the Saturn.

The N64 launched with literally two games in NA, though as a child Mario 64 was enough. That kinda thing doesn't really fly in an era where launches usually have a wide variety and large number of launch titles.

The Switch's does look terrible though, from a perspective of them releasing four games not on their previous console for launch and also having an awful presentation for it.

The Xbone's launch was fine, though. The initial reveal was the shitshow, though they backtracked on all of the shittiness in like less than 48 hours.
