Video showing the Switch UI in more detail. One noticeable absence in the UI: No web browsers. Considering how many times hackers have blown open consoles using Webkit browser exploits, it was probably a smart move.

I have used my web browser on my Wii U all of twice, my 3DS once, and my PS4 all of never. It won't be missed.

I will never understand why people like Call of Duty. The game is so brainless.

I hate the COD series but its the only poo poo any of my siblings will play, doesn't mean its bad just because it isn't for me. And on the occasions we actually see each other someplace with a console, I'd still rather play a bad co op game than nothing at all.

Dragon Quest heros 1*2 looks like lazy lazy poo poo. My hopes for FE Heros are dashed.

Those are ports of existing games made by Bandai Namco. The Fire Emblem game is tentatively called Fire Emblem Warriors, suggesting it'll essentially be a Musou game (e.g. Dragon/Dynasty/Hyrule Warriors) by Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo. Two totally different games -- check out videos of Hyrule Warriors if you want a general idea of what to expect.

Huh. My apologies. Still, I wouldn't call that representative of what Hyrule Warriors will be like. It comes down to who's overseeing it and what the parent company wants after all.

UI looks minimalistic and good. I guess they figure of you have you phone next to you to voicechat. You can look poo poo up on that.

And if you dont buy their online. You still have a phone next to you to look poo poo up.

Hopefully the companion app will make this a snappy UI.

A lot of people game to experience adrenaline rush in a safe environment, like a roller coaster that you can play. People who play games because they like to solve interactive puzzles (or for other reasons, of which there are many) can find this motivation vexing.

I'm talking about skillwise. The game requires like no-skill. The maps are designed terribly so you can just camp in one area and constantly kill people.

LOL at the people who can't navigate the very simple and intuitive PS4 UI. The bone...that's a POS. The PS4 is fine. Whatever you used / played most recently slides to the left. All games get their own icon. Multimedia has it's own folder. And I think there is another folder.

Above that is your menu bar that has things like settings and notifications and friends list.

So basically don't listen to the haters because they are abject morons.

Didn't think of that. And switch on a plane is a selling point.

Only time I ever used 3ds browser was to connect to Wi-Fi during a layover to buy A link between worlds. Which was the best decision.

If you actually read our complaints it's that the basic menu bar is okay. It's literally everything else about it that's idiotic.

Holy poo poo, I just remembered that when you take a disc out of the game, the game's icon stays in the menu band rather then just popping up only when the disc is inserted. That poo poo's annoying.

it's not that I can't navigate it, it's that it shouldn't be full of apps I didn't download and ads for poo poo I don't want, with categories that seem arbitrary and no options to create folders so I can just shove the poo poo I don't want to see out of the way.

The PS4 should have an addon that I can wave at or talk to in order to communicate what I want. gently caress spending a couple seconds using the controller. It should be called the Detect because it detects my voice.

The PS Camera does this. If you check the game information it even tells you the voice command.

Remember that pack-in mono+mic line?

Well of course not, it's dirt trash garbage.

But any pack-in headphones from a phone or something would work.

Or the Vita earphones.

Or the bluetooth stereo+mic headsets that Sony and others liked selling.

I imagine the "16 new tracks" claim includes all battle tracks, but we should be getting 1-2 new cups based on the Splat racing track we've already seen.

I thought the Splatoon was just a battle mode arena, not an actual race course. I could be wrong but I was under the impression that the only new tracks were for the battle mode.

I'm keeping my Wii U, so I think I'm going to skip Mario Kart 8 Deluxe unless it gets some new race tracks and a price cut. I mean, I miss playing as Dry Bones, but not enough to pay $60 again for the same game. And I've never cared about battle mode.

Edit: It's confirmed that there are no new race tracks http://nintendoeverything.com/no-new-race-tracks-in-mario-kart-8-deluxe/

I'm talking about things like this. There's the apps I actually used and downloaded; Neflix, Hulu, Amazon, Youtube, CR, and Funimation, and stuff I didn't, like the NFL app, Vudu, ESPN, WWE, and IGN, along with ads for some individual movies and the Beatles that I can stream. I have never been able to figure out how to get rid of stuff like this and it's all over the place. It's both annoying and tacky.
