Just realized they could port every title from the Wii U to the Switch with very little effort

How do you figure? The two systems are based on different architectures, PowerPC vs x86.

A design problem I see with this is that it amplifies the biggest problem with the joy-cons: the unnatural gate between your thumb buttons and stick. I think the joycons should face outwards, rather than inwardly which would be closer to a standard game controller

Yeah, that's something I had considered as well, I may try it in my second version.

Looking like the Switch is going to have a lot of 3rd party support and devs are super happy with it.

Lack of 3rd party support was what really killed the WiiU, but it's sounding super promising on the Switch.
You buy a console for it's exclusives, that are backed up by 3rd party games. If your console doesn't have those cross-platform titles.. then that's a huge chunk of the market you're missing out on.

A Nintendo console with all the indie games that you'd normally find on PS4/Xbone?
Can't loving wait :allears:

Yes so much third party support that there is already one third party game!! And once they see how much it -no pun intended- bombs, they're surely going to jump on board!!!

Switch won't have any third party support unless a miracle happens. Devs don't want to keep developing for PS3, 360 level still especially since its way more work.

There's a reason why EA and Ubi isn't touching this thing at launch other than stuff that's simple to make (just dance, last gen FIFA).

You can start celebrating when Switch gets Madden or Assassins Creed.

Um I think you are forgetting the star third party launch* title, 2011's breakout hit Skyrim.

Weren't you the idiot that lied about 20fps in BoI once you reach the Womb? Cause I'm pretty sure I've done a good dozen or so runs with lots of hosed up combos and it's been running smooth as silk

It would be cool if Nintendo sold Virtual Console carts or something. You could buy the entire Zelda collection or all the Marios. For 60 bucks they could offer all the Zeldas up to Majoras Mask.

They essentially did both of these already with the Zelda collections on Gamecube and the Mario All-Stars collection on Wii.

Nintendo ain't above selling you three or four ROMs for $59.99.

Go to the PS4 thread, there is a guy who cannot stand switching discs cause he switches 4-5 times in a session. Maybe make a club.

"that's why it's called the switch "

When it's a portable console, it really is nice to just have everything with you. I went fully digital on my Vita, and I'll probably go mostly digital here, except for bigger games that I'll wanna buy and have on a shelf, or are just huge in their file size.

Next game I'll buy physical will probably be Mario Odyssey. Will likely always want MK8 Deluxe and Puyo Puyo Tetris on my console, so those'll be digital.

I'm already tired of going back and forth between Isaac and Zelda. I'm sure once I finish Zelda it won't be a problem, but for now it's just back and forth, opening cases, clicking the tiny little card in place. It's a dumb complaint, but I really liked being mostly digital on the WiiU and 3ds, so I'll probably be doing that again.

Just have to wait for Best Buy or someone to do an eShop card sale, since my balance is a bit low.

why not cut out the card holder from the game case and glue it to the back of the switch? then theyre always there for quick access

Selling, trading, renting, and lending these $40-$60 games is worth having to swap carts. To me, video games are little pieces of equity. I sell them to fund the next game. Except Zelda, that shalt not be sold unless I cant afford top ramen.
