LethalGeek posted:Someone in GBS twice brought up that not having a disk drive in a portable system was a screw up on Nintendo's part. That thread rightfully gets to point out some of the compromises the system has but lol at a disk drive in a portable in 2017. PS4/Xbox only still has them because they kind of have to.  I'm not going to be a crazy person and find all of Utnayan's old posts about how it should have had a blu-ray player in this portable device, but it is amusing they apparently don't remember it and now Utnayan posted:Yeah there is no need for an optical in the Switch

If I recall, I never talked about an optical drive - if I did, it could have been it should have been in the docking station - but I was more adamant that the applications such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, etc weren't available.

I went to my local Honda service center with my Switch playing Mario Kart and some kid told his mom "this guy has the PS4 on the go" I told the kid, "no this is the Switch, not the PlayStation 4. With it you can practically take it anywhere."

Utnayan posted:I don't get this statement. Playing a controlled 720p game on a 6.2" tablet should have, and could have, been done years ago. I think the more relevant question would be, "Holy poo poo how was this not done years ago and why did portable users stay buried/ignored so long, and still somewhat even today with the Switch, in stagnant design. Sorry that my opinion disagrees with yours. Not everyone thinks as binary as you.

Kirios posted:Like seriously if you play portable Switch and your immediate thought isn't "Holy poo poo how is this even possible?!" when playing BotW, Mario Kart 8, or even Fast Racing RMX then you have entirely unrealistic expectations. Seriously. The console is loving amazing, and takes away all my barriers that prevent me from playing video games. Even the fact that the console wakes up from sleep instantly blows my mind. It took us a year and a half to get the feature in the PS4 and it still doesn't account for power outages.

strap on revenge posted:i need MINIMUM 400 DPI on my tiny screens Not to single you out, but this is the exact reason why the industry is stagnant and in a stand still. Why are gaming consumers the only one's to not press for better design and higher end components in their devices, and higher end development? Because "It's good enough" has been the mainstay for the last 15 years. We finally got around to some exciting stuff with Virtual reality, and hopefully some augmented reality, and here we have people basically stating they do not care about dpi on the 6.2" 720 touch screen manufactured 5 years ago because it plays games so big deal and you, the Switch player (And everyone else that loves the Switch) is all up in arms about how great it is to be using technology that should have been launched 5 years ago in a stagnant section of the gaming industry that ignored you for decades. I guess something is better than nothing? Think of where the Switch COULD be right now. That's the crappy part of it all. Imagine what we would be playing right now if the current mindset of "Good enough" was a thing of the past. It's like that old adage of the entitled gamer. Yes, they are entitled. They just bought your product. If someone buys my product, I'll bend over backwards to make sure they continue to buy more products. Kind of goes to the Ego in this industry. It's appalling.

The following are quotes from Utnayan: "Yep. I am passionate.  Very ok. And pissed that Nintendo is about to fail it's rear end off because I love their games and grew up with them. I suppose it's like that with anything you like Louisgod. And then seeing it flushed down the loving toilet in some of the worst decisions ever made""You will love the new Metroid. I told you it has been in development for a while now. It is. Unfortunately, you will need the Switch to play it. But by then, I anticipate this thing being less then $150" "You are correct. I guess the physical portability doesn't matter anyway since the battery lasts anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours. Maybe this will force outlet deployment on trains and airplanes and busses" "The dock should have a blu-ray drive. The battery life SHOULD last more than the time it takes my steak to get done. It SHOULD be $100 cheaper given the technology is from 6 loving years ago, and has half the loving power as an XBox One for Christ's sake, and maybe even $150 cheaper to loss" "LOOK AT THE PICTURE. Say it with me. DETACHABLE CONTROLLERS. Now, lets go back to grade school and talk about PHYSICS. It will be much larger with the controllers attached. RIGHT? YES. You are graduating. Now, let's also talk about STORING THOSE DETACHABLE CONTROLLERS. A" "Not sure where you are going with that. I agree with DVD. But Blu-Ray is cheap as gently caress to print and reproduce. Carts and Solid State are more expensive. Why they went cartridge anyway when they made such a poo poo design of a portable baffles me. The loving thing is so big they may as well" "We have seen so many games so platforming better or the same as Mario. All we have to do is look at games like Ori, Child of Light, and the countless indie games that have great level design, sometimes even dwarfing Nintendo's Mario games, and realize the only thing missing is a dude in a" "They could have hired anyone with a salt grain of common sense on how to flood the market with Switches. Instead? This entire thing is a loving joke with 70% of the preorders being obtained by scalpers hoping they can make 200 bucks when Nintendo short supplies the poo poo out of this to confuse" DUDE HAS BEEN TROLLING SINCE DAY ONE OF ITS ANNOUNCEMENT.

Unfortunately, you will need the Switch to play it. But by then, I anticipate this thing being less then $150" The last part was Hyperbole. It will be $249. Metroid will be announced at the Treehouse E3. (Well, a teaser) quote:"You are correct. I guess the physical portability doesn't matter anyway since the battery lasts anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours. Maybe this will force outlet deployment on trains and airplanes and busses" 3 hours was correct. quote:"The dock should have a blu-ray drive. The battery life SHOULD last more than the time it takes my steak to get done. It SHOULD be $100 cheaper given the technology is from 6 loving years ago, and has half the loving power as an XBox One for Christ's sake, and maybe even $150 cheaper to loss" And... True. quote:"LOOK AT THE PICTURE. Say it with me. DETACHABLE CONTROLLERS. Now, lets go back to grade school and talk about PHYSICS. It will be much larger with the controllers attached. RIGHT? YES. You are graduating. Now, let's also talk about STORING THOSE DETACHABLE CONTROLLERS. Partially true. People complain about the pad with joycons attached. Lots of complaints about losing controllers. quote:"Not sure where you are going with that. I agree with DVD. But Blu-Ray is cheap as gently caress to print and reproduce. Carts and Solid State are more expensive. Why they went cartridge anyway when they made such a poo poo design of a portable baffles me.

All we have to do is look at games like Ori, Child of Light, and the countless indie games that have great level design, sometimes even dwarfing Nintendo's Mario games, and realize the only thing missing is a dude in a" Also true. Mario has been the same cut out level design platformer for a while. That doesn't mean it isn't fun. But that doesn't mean because it has a Mario stamp on it it is better than some of the most recent platformers. quote:"They could have hired anyone with a salt grain of common sense on how to flood the market with Switches. Instead? This entire thing is a loving joke with 70% of the preorders being obtained by scalpers hoping they can make 200 bucks when Nintendo short supplies the poo poo out of this to confuse" TBD. Still a ton on the scalper market. From Amazon, to Ebay. It would be nice to know the percentages, but they are everywhere on the second hand market. By the tens of thousands.

They will be identical, except half the cost. Otherwise after Zelda, you will be in a holding pattern until next year. Mario will also be delayed.
