Yes, and obviously Nintendo is still the dumpster of money that is peripheral tech. Base cost is 300, but actual cost including one game is like $500. Memory card, controller, game, and power adapter not included. Ps4 slim is like $300 with a game on amazon. At least the game cube was only 200.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was really cool and innovative for its time. It's a shame SE will never make a real modern sequel with the same multiplayer concept.

Lol, Nintendo. All you gotta do is fuckin' release a console with decent specs, then you get 3rd party support and everyone will buy it because Nintendo games are good, and if people can get their call of doody and their battlefield aswell it's a compelling product. Instead we get this lovely garbage underpowered tablet that's gonna have like one good game a year and is absolutely not a compelling product. It's so loving easy, why do they do this

It's really the dumbest loving thing. Even if they were in love with their dumb loving gimmicks, they could still hedge their bets by
having rough parity with the big consoles and still have their gimmicks as an added feature to incentivise sales.

they learned the completely wrong lesson from the wii. before then, all their consoles were basically normal, bugshit controllers notwithstanding. the wii sold like hell on the strength of its gimmick, but people only realized it was dumb bullshit that played like trash after it'd sold a bazillion units. then the wiiu came which was a gimmick in itself, though a somewhat more workable one than the wii. Never mind the weird brand confusion in calling that thing the wiiu.

I figure they dont want to get into the weird power arms race that's cropped up between sony and MS, but gently caress. somebody somewhere in that multinational corporation must know that motion controls are garbage and always have been.

the fact that they wont make a good metroid game and instead double down on crap like ARMS tells you all you need to know about nintendo

If spending $300 on a Switch on a video game console is breaking the bank for you, then you have more problems than posting in GBS about it.

Like, I want to play Zelda real bad, it looks awesome and I'm sure it's gonna be awesome. Sure, it's a sub 30fps 900p game in 2017, but I'm sure it'll still be fun. But I won't because :lol: I'm not buying a WiiU and the Switch is a piece of crap that won't have any games.

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
The issue is that Nintendo insists on profiting from hardware, so they release underpowered crap for too much money. Also, having one notable game at launch is a disaster. If this thing was half the price, and had a dozen classic game IPs at launch, it'd sell like hotcakes. Was the portability really necessary? They're cannibalizing their business.

I resent the switch because nintendo handhelds are basically the best part of nintendo and now because they've made a hybrid that isn't very good at being a console (power) or a handheld (portability and battery life) they're probably gonna double down on this design and not release an actually good handheld for another cycle of consoles.

Hopefully someone at nintendo gets the incredibly obvious idea of making a "Switch-lite" or something that gives up on doing both at once, shrinks it, gives it a longer battery life, and takes away the disconnecting controller gimmick.
