its sad that after watching how loving virtual on luffy punchout has brilliant controls that allow for angled shots and they trot out this EA man who sleeply says they respect nintendo for having creativity. There is no way in hell they will do something like ARMS did for angled kicks right?

Pureauthor posted:I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who buys all the Nintendo handhelds and gives 0 shits about any of the consoles, so my perspective is of course badly skewed, but Except a new version of the DS would be a bad idea for exactly the reason you said - market conditions are far more hostile to the idea of a dedicated portable system than before. The only way to do that is to go bigger, and to be frank, with the 3DS already managing ports of Wii U software comfortably, stripped down portable wii u would have been far too lacking. The only way to compete would be to go bigger. And guess what that'd resemble? The Switch.

I'm just happy that I may get a somewhat comfortable Nintendo handheld again. I love the DS and the 3DS libraries but god drat are they unergonomic as gently caress. My N3DSXL is the worst of them all and I have a hard time playing more than an hour without some cramps. I'm warming up to Arms but I don't like the art style and wish it was Teleroboxer 2. It looks a little too Overwatchish for my tastes.

Infinitum posted:How can you not be hype for this? Because I have a PS4, a bone (sigh I'm dum), a 360, a PS3 w/ ps1/ps2 compatability, a N64, a gamecube, a wii, a wii u, a 3ds, a gba sp, a Vita and a PSP w/ CFW, and a decently powerful PC. So basically I can play any game that is released and most that have ever been released. My favorite consoles are Nintendos and I was very excited for this launch. I am not excited for a broken pay for online play system. I am not excited for having to use my phone to do online stuff, either. I am not hype for Just Dance. I am not hype for Skylanders. I do not want 1 2 Switch in a boat. I do not want Bomberman in a moat. I don't care about Splatoon dude. I apologize if you find me rude. But think about it. There are only 5 launch titles. 2 of which are complete garbage. 1 should have been free and packed in. It is not an exciting launch. I really hope they have better news next week. But I suspect it will be more coming soon poo poo.

A guy who owns that many video game systems, several of which make the other redundant, getting this indignant about a console's launch titles being underwhelming is just about the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

You said in the Mass Effect topic that you have pre-ordered a Switch and Zelda, and I agreed that those are good ideas. (though I'm going with Wii-U version, getting Switch later for Mario) So just for the record, you are getting a Switch and Zelda on Switch. You can argue theoretical stuff, and sure we can all critique what various companies are doing and could be doing better, but I don't quite get the goal of some of your debating here. Plus, well, you're getting it as you said?

I would buy a switch if only had Splatoon, luckily it will also have ARMS Zelda and Mario and due to my insanity I have convinced myself also a Metroid game that is a sequel to fusion

The only way to compete would be to go bigger. The dedicated handheld market has never given half a poo poo about hardware of a system beyond size and battery life though. So no, they didn't need to go bigger. And my point was that 3DS fighting for relevance in a world of smartphones still managed 60 million units while the Wii U managed... I think it was 12 million units? So killing handhelds for the home console market really doesn't seem like a smart move to me.

Where are all the handheld developers that were suppose to come from this combining of Nintendo's portable and console markets?Meridian posted:After the Wii I had already pretty much given up on Nintendo. The only franchises of theirs I really care about are Mario Kart and Smash. Brawl was awful and Mario Kart at the time wasn't worth owning the system for. They appear to have doubled down on gimmicky bullshit. I guess I was hoping that Nintendo would stop thinking about their product as a toy. Not sure why people hate the Wii so much. The Wii was arguably Nintendo's best console. Sin & Punishment 2, New Super Mario Bros., Metroid Prime 3, Punchout!, Xenoblade, Super Mario Galaxy just to name a few.

I'm guessing not everyone wants to announce their games at the same time. Do you want Rime same day as Zelda? Steamworld Devs said they pulled back to announce more later. We got 1 month and 20 days till launch. Expect a few more launch titles and more release dates.

trash person posted:To be fair they haven't killed anything yet. If the Switch bombs I'm sure they'll just be like welp let's roll out the 4DS I don't think the switch will bomb. Worst case they realize the waggle stuff they made was dumb and they'll just say to keep the joycons connected to the switch or the grip or use the pro controller and it will just be a normal console that's also portable. Going all in on "WAGGLE 2.0" right out the gate was kind of dumb but I doubt that will kill the system when it can easily revert back to normal. Unlike the Wii when it first came out.

So, after taking a few deep breaths, I've grown more positive about the switch. It isn't the knockout punch I was hoping for, and western 3rd party support will die out pretty quickly, and the accessories are outrageously priced, but in the end I think this thing will do well. Hell, as soon as they announce Pokemon it'll sell gangbusters. Right now, Nintendo needs to address the elephant in the servers that is their new online system. I'm not paying more than fiveish bucks a month. if there are a whole lot of cool indie games announced over the next few weeks, and if online doesn't suck horribly, I will try to get one at launch. also the constant nintendoom posts are hilarious as always. one bad presentation does not an apocalypse make.
