Now who looks even dumber?

Just got my Switch today and got to spend about an hour with it. Overall my impressions are positive but man there's some questionable decisions made about this thing.

The screen looks great, the interfaces feel wonderful to navigate, the speakers sound good, and I like the sticks. The buttons are fine I guess but the triggers and the auxiliary buttons are a joke.

And I didn't expect this thing to not support Bluetooth headphones. Absolutely everything has Bluetooth audio now and for a mobile device to not have any sort of wireless audio is just bad bad bad. The eShop also looks like it was shoved out the door as bare bones as possible.

The stand is fine if a bit cheap looking and the pro controller is nice and weighty but I don't like the triggers there either. I kind of expected more after the Xbone and PS4 controllers especially for the price.

Zelda and Mario Kart look and run great on the handheld but I haven't tried hooking it up to a TV so we'll see how bad performance gets. I have a feeling I'll be using this more in handheld mode though.

But what the hell is up with the lack of options in those games? Mario Kart doesn't even have an options screen on the main menu and the pause menu is paltry as heck. Zelda has some options but mostly just lets you swap jump and sprint and...that's it for rebinding? Ugh why.

Anyway I hope they can improve on a number of these things and it's certainly a slick device for the most part. Here's hoping the batteries are decent because I'm going to have lots of long nights with a newborn real soon. :v:

Isn't Rock n Roll racing a Blizzard game? I don't exactly see them clamoring to release their old IP, as much as I'd love a collection of like, Lost Vikings, Lost Vikings 2, Blackthorne, and Rock N Roll Racing, and probably a couple others I'm forgetting.

R&R is more a problem that they used licensed music, and there's no way they're going to see it as worth their time to pay for the songs again, or program new tunes for a 25 year old ROM.

i dunno why people are surprised about Animal Crossing Switch possibly being real, in a past investors briefing they said that the upcoming Animal Crossing mobile app will have connectivity with the next game. we've basically known a new game has been in the works for a while and they already created HD assets of the villagers for Wii U's Animal Crossing Plaza

all I care about though is how different it's going to be because it can't just be another incremental update. we need for animal crossing what BOTW was for Zelda. as long as it's not envisioned as cubical programmer art that one might 'craft' with

I hope the Switch title uses the amiibo figurines like Welcome Amiibo does or goes even more in-depth with them and then I'll feel good because I've already managed to get all fifteen of the fuckers for super cheap prices over the last few months.

Because of course by that time they won't be available in stores or online anymore.

It's dumb that Sony has basically a monopoly on baseball. I bought a Vita a few years ago solely to play MLB The Show.

People still submit new rosters to the database for MLB 15, so you can download and apply to career or franchise mode. In fact, I started a new Road to the Show game just a few weeks ago using this season's rosters.

Of course Sony might disable their servers whenever they want, but for now it still works.

You can blame 2K for that. They dropped 2K Baseball like a bad habit around the time Sony revealed MLB 14 to focus on NBA/WWE games. To their credit, NBA 17 sold something like 8 million copies so maybe they just wanted to cut their losses.

Yeah wasn't Sony allowed to make The Show because 2K's exclusivity didn't cover first party development? If anything Sony is the reason there's still a good baseball game.

It's seriously blowing my mind the Switch has been out for months now and there's still no virtual console.
Like it's leaving money on the table. They need to release every VC game on the 3DS and Wii U and I guarantee you I'll rebuy them

But you might buy some indie games instead while you wait which would mean even more new games. I want virtual console too, but I thinking holding off makes sense at the moment.

Honestly I think they shouldn't release virtual console until late 2018. People are buying the system anyway and all those games will do is eat away at indie and third party sales and result in less software support.
