I know it says that from the website, but I'm pretty sure when I bought Blaster Master off there, it downloaded while my system was asleep.

I believe the switch wakes itself up from time to time if you leave it in the dock but don't quote me on that. It just won't download if you leave it out of the dock.

The argument I am making is that Nintendo announced a double down on their switch production. So with an oversupply, with a drought of content as the system picks up speed and lack of most all services on the device for the next 5-6 months, they will be over supplied and the price will drop automatically.

Simple economics. Unless the counter argument is that somehow Nintendo is going to sell all of these units due to Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart. And that's assanine.

You keep mentioning this drought of content and then I keep coming to this thread and see people buying a different game every week. And then you mention two extremely well selling games for Nintendo and think it won't help sell the console. I don't get it.

Mario Kart 8 had an insane attach rate, Mario Kart is a system seller. Splatoon is a huge system seller in Japan. Idk about 16m but I think at least 10 is reasonable.

Splatoon is such a big deal in Japan that they're airing commercials advertising that the Splatoon 2 TESTFIRE is coming. It's a big enough deal that Nintendo can spend ad money to tell people in Japan to buy a Switch because soon there'll be a DEMO for Splatoon 2.

The thing is, with the 3DS and Wii U, they went into things expecting to ride the success from the DS and Wii into their successors. The Switch started small and they're responding based on initial success and feedback from retailers.

This is the exact opposite of the Wii U and 3DS situations, to be honest.

Mario Kart Wii is the sixth best selling video game in the history of video games. I think if the Switch sells significantly better than the several dozen Wii U's that were sold in its lifetime, that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will sell a ton of systems.

i may end up buying a nintendo switch at the end of the year if E3 turn out good, i just can't buy it now since i already have a console that play zelda already. but mario looks good and he is in new york city now, i hope he get to beat up trump, the bowser of the real world. i hope the console get more handheld style 3rd party then skyrim or mass effect like poo poo.

Yeah, I haven't seen it dip from 60FPS once in an hour.

However, I did the daily challenge and it crashed trying to bring up the leaderboards. Now, any time I go to daily challenge, it tries bringing up the leaderboards and crashes fuckin lol. Maybe just an early server issue without a graceful exit put in place.

And rebooting the Switch didn't fix it so yeah, daily challenge is broken right now. The main game works without a hitch so far, though. I guess the saving grace of the leaderboards currently crashing is it's like a matter of 5 seconds from crash to playing again, so while it'd be nice to see this fixed soon, it's not currently a big deal.

There's nothing stopping them from just replacing miiverse with facebook and twitter, and pulling in posts from there.

I mean if Nintendo were trying to lead this thing with a niche title like Wonderful 101 the claims of "this won't sell systems" might be valid.

Wii Sports Resort was really great and I'd love a Switch Sports in the same vein. The Wii U one was alright (except for Golf, which owned).

The Switch presentation was a garbage fire, and getting game footage and Treehouse stuff is way better than watching producers ramble awkwardly on stage.

Everyone says this but I think Wii Sports Resort was way better. It had a better version of Bowling, and the best thing nobody ever talks about : the basketball 3-point shootout. My siblings and I played the poo poo out of that every time they came home for holidays.

Figure a game I've already plugged 300-400 hours into might as well never leave my Switch, anyway.
