I don't think people are really gonna care that much in the long run since it comes out in like April. Only a month or so after launch. Might be when I pick up my switch. Normal people do not buy launch consoles anyways. What matters it what's on the console by holiday

well why not posted:My ~Sincere~ opinion is that the Switch launch lineup could be stronger. It's probably one of the best in recent memory. I'm also mystified as to why Mario Kart 8 is not at launch. Still kinda baffles that Splatoon was not a launch title. I guess they want summer crowds.

AR will also be poo poo. Play a AR game in your lovely apartment. Escape YOUR room. I do not know what AR can bring. When I think AR, I think Holodeck in TNG. But I will tell you this much. My VR (PSVR) is one of the coolest loving things to innovate this market yet. And I was a nay sayer before I tried it. Because the last time I tried "VR" was in 1998 at a state fair and they had this vectron thing going which literally was poo poo. I feel I am IN the game. To the point where people can get sick? I have watched my friends come over and say "Holy gently caress. I was NOT expecting it to be that real. I lost all sense of myself". VR is where it is right now for immersion. If you don't see that, sorry I guess. But I do guarantee you immersion is not playing a loving 4 person co-op at a party with a 7" pad on a coffee table.

That's basically the truth. Launch is basically irrelevant. Remember the YCS days? PS3 has NO GAEMS and Chardwarden? Even after a pretty bad (and wildly expensive) launch, PS3 ended up doing well.

Even after a pretty bad (and wildly expensive) launch, PS3 ended up doing well. But lost to the 360. Why? Sony hosed up with hardware. They did add a lot of value to being a PS plus member though. Free online anyway, and they added some seriously awesome free games. They lost that generation. MS won. What happened next? The usual. MS got cocky and hosed up, Sony had to gain back ground and the PS4 is the winner of the generation from applications, usability, and games. I expect this to turn around again. Like every generation. You know what's sad though? Nintendo can blow away this market, and they don't. That sickens me. Because they have the IP's in the palm of their hand and they JUST DON'T loving GET IT.

I feel like the people that are truly angry are the people too poor to have a PS4 and gaming PC also lmao. Like if you don't have all three of these consoles you're doing it wrong - I'd never rely on Nintendo for all my gaming needs, I buy their consoles solely for the Ninty content and use the PS4 and PC for everything else. It's not that hard.

The real concerning thing isn't the "lack of games" but the fact that they seem to have way overestimated how many people out there are dying for more waggle. It worked with the Wii because Wii Sports was good and novel, so the Nintendo fanatics bought it at launch and then showed their families over the holidays, who thought it was a lot of fun and bought one. No one is going to be excited by 1 2 Switch. It's ten years later and everyone moved on.

I listened to Totalbiscuit talk about the Switch presentation, and while he wasn't exactly ecstatic about it, he was carefully optimistic. I think he prefers Nintendo's releases more because he's a framerate snob and Nintendo have more or less tried to make their games run at 60 fps with good results. It's probably the most objective(?) reasoning I've heard of the Switch so far, so you know he's getting extra shill-dollars from Nintendo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCrjI3O0fWY

I guess the way the trailer communicated pretty easily what the controls were like and the different take on boxing is giving me a pretty clear picture on how the game works. A few questions still remains over how much content it has at what price, but color me intrigued.

You know I don't understand something. "I can't believe that 1 2 Switch is a pack in" seems to preclude the notion that on some level people want it. But they've also talked about how utterly insipid and worthless the idea is. I do agree that the game would be a better showcase for what Nintendo wants to do with the Joycons if it were free, but at the same time, there seems to be an utterly contradictory message inherent in a lot of people's words. "God 1 2 Switch looks utterly terrible. I wish Nintendo would give it to me for free."

It's a whirlpool of bad decisions, but still had some OK games, from what I've heard. I've literally seen one in a store, once. I do not know anyone with one. The Wii U wasn't a terrible console. They completely misjudged the market (Shock) and had zero 1st party games aside from mario and zelda remakes and smash and kart. Again, that's their downfall. They do not realize the importance of their 1st party line up. It's not all Zelda and Mario. Castlevania, Metroid, Jackyl, Iron Tank, Kid Icarius, Golgo 13 (Something they should definitely bring back and why not, no one loving knows), and countless others. I hated the controller. I still hate how the XYAB buttons are opposite and it fucks me up continually when the majority played Xbox 360 and are used to those buttons being in other locations. They made progress in online, but then hosed it all up again now with Switch. The pad needed to be within range ofhe console and should have streamed wirelessly on a home network. But people just wanted loving HD 1st party titles. That's all they wanted. And they didn't see it. Anyway, it sucks Nintendo is loving this all up again for a 3rd time. Always against the grain. But hey, they finally realized region locking was a bad idea. I mean, we all knew that in 1996 but poo poo, 21 years later they finally saw it. So there is that. Right?

Did anyone actually expect Nintendo to change their ways? This is a company who has proven time and time again that they are incapable of following market trends or learning from past mistakes. The company leadership is happy to keep pumping out crappy overpriced hardware in a vain attempt to find another gimmick that will recreate the success of the Wii while making it painfully obvious they never understood why it was a success in the first place. They still don't give two shits about doing even the bare minimum to try and attract better third part support or provide an online service worth using. They are quite content scraping by on the nostalgia of their diehard fans while surrendering market share with every new generation.

TFRazorsaw posted:You know I don't understand something. I think it's more that Nintendo commonly has a basic game/tech demo for their consoles to show off the new gimmicks like Wii Sports or Nintendo Land. People don't particularly want 1 2 Switch but just think it's strange that it isn't following tradition and being a pack in. I sure don't have any interest in it, but I'd at least try it if I got it for free. Well, maybe. I'd also have Zelda and I sure wouldn't take that out of my console for a $60 copy of the quick draw minigame from Kirby Super Star.
