Android phones have set unreasonable pixel density expectations. I'm posting on this from a smaller than 5.5" screen with 4x the resolution of the switch. 2560x1440!

I don't own a tablet, so it'll be nice if/when the Switch gets some media apps to go along with the gaming. I'd be extremely hyped if Marvel Unlimited could be downloaded to it.

It's not a big deal but Netflix is so ubiquitous on everything it just feels weird to be left out.

Though it has been mentioned that there may be some kind of streaming via nintendos online.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.
maybe they will make a smartphone app

with it, you might be able to watch netflix on your phone

i find that a very elegant solution

Sounds like it might just not be there at launch. Nothing is stopping a device with a screen and a WiFi antenna from eventually getting a Netflix app.

Why do people keep assuming that Netflix won't eventually get ported to the switch?

because if you assume nintendo will do the dumbest most counter-intuitive thing for absolutely no practical benefit you'll be right 70% of the time

Because one guy quoted something he read somewhere (I think the source was someone's dad that worked for Nintendo) that said that Nintendo said it was purely a gaming device or some other nonsense.

Nintendo is right to not spend a single second talking about Netflix or any other streaming app because A) it's not their product and they stand to make no money from it and B) those apps are virtually everywhere so their addition will not sell a single extra Switch. They'll definitely add them though.

What if, and I realize this sounds insane, but what if Nintendo is doing it backwards.

What if they're starting out with a game device, and plan on turning it into a phone in an iteration or two?

Honestly, the most interesting thing about the FE Gaiden remake announced today is it now sets a precedence that wasn't really there before that Nintendo can actually localise a previously Japan only game if they feel like it.


Yeah but they did this same thing when they Rereleased Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and that game was mega poo poo even by fire emblem fan standards

gently caress if I know. I know it was selling new for $250 when it came out. I lucked into one with the intent of playing but just don't like FE so it's been on my shelf. I think I paid $80 or whatever it was new and sold the extra poo poo for $40.

So Mother 3 localisation is not so unlikely now.

Only if Mother 3 gets a remake as well.


Come on Nintendo announce a Mother collection for the Switch. Take my money.

You also can't gently caress up the direction when plugging it in, so gone are the days of trying to plug it in, reversing it and trying again, then realizing you had it the right way the first time and just didn't put it in right like a DUMBASS and flip it around again then plug it in
