A PS4 is $300. It has a huge head start and all the games. It is more powerful and comes with a controller. No one in their right mind would choose the switch at $300 over the PS4 unless their focus is on Nintendo games. The mobile aspect is cool, but it's not worth getting the lesser console for.

Nintendo has to be aware of this. $250 is the max it should cost. I think $200 is where they will do really well.

$283 doullars

nintendo says they expect to ship 2 million by the end of the march so the rumor of there only being 50 units produced by launch is definitely true

I'll never figure out why they felt like they needed to change so much stuff in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They screwed with every single thing that should have been left alone

Wasn't the Wii difficult to get because everyone including their grandparents wanted one? The news was constantly showing how great they were for nursing homes and people who didn't play video games. I used have a job where I went in people's houses all the time and I'd go to some 90 year old's house that looked like it was stuck in 1945 and they'd still have a Wii sitting next to the TV. I don't really see that happening here

I'll reserve judgment til I get to try it and see the build quality, but the prices for the accessories seem absurd. I was pissed when I had to pay $50 for a Wii U Pro controller (even though it is excellent); $70 for a Switch Pro controller is not reasonable, no matter how nice it is. $80 for a pair of joycons is flat-out awful. If they can bring controller prices down to the $50 range, I'd probably take the plunge, but as things stand I'd probably just make do with the included accessories.

That said, if they released gamecube controller-shaped joycons along with smash, they'd probably make a mint.


$40-50 on release

Pretty sure Bomberman 64 was 60 bucks on release

edit: here are some old Electronics Boutique ads, 59.99 for Bomberman 64 http://huguesjohnson.com/scans/EBChristmas97/nintendo-sega.html

I think I paid 50 bucks for Saturn Bomberman and it didn't have a single player mode similar to 64 either. It did have a story mode just like R though. I don't feel like full price is an unusual thing for a Bomberman game.

Haha people think the Playstation controller has buttons for a d-pad. All of the directions are connected underneath the surface so you can smoothly move between the directions. Doesn't look like we get that with the joycon directional buttons

Nah, 2.5 hours of gameplay is bad battery life. If being at 720p is what causes bad battery life, then it shouldn't be 720p.

Man I swear my Game Gear battery life felt like an hour. That thing was miserable. I couldn't even beat any of my games because the Game Gear would die too fast

bOMBERMan looks like a winner for someone who likes bomberman don't it? Hasn't been a good Bomberman in forever that I know of. The Xbox 360 Bomberman looked like such a joke I didn't even try it. Probably nothing is going to top Saturn Bomberman

go to a yard sale, buy a used N64. then go on amazon or eBay and buy a used copy of bomberman hero.

enjoy.

I could do that but I wanna play a new one. I've played all the others!

As a lefty, I appreciated they had an option, especially in Metroid Prime: Hunters. However, it wasn't as good as having a d-pad. Just better than nothing and having to play right-handed.

Dang man quit trying to make left handed people sound like they're crippled
