I preordered the switch because yeah, there's some bad stuff, but I also totally skipped the wii u so it'll be cool to be playing nintendo games again.

From Software should make an Armored Core for the Switch just because I'd love to see how they'll gently caress up the control scheme people get angry that they didn't release a Souls game on the Switch.

I played the Overwatch free trial and wasn't too impressed by it.

It's literally just Team Fortress 2 with less mobility and meter management.

I'm surprised that it has garnered such a following.

It really isn't, but it's cool if you didn't like it.

I look forward to playing Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 as yet another person who didn't get a wii u.

yes but doctor what is an idiot
the game was also shown in the reveal with english subs and japanese audio betraying that it somehow exiss in some form wih that? I would have imported the japanese game in 10 seconds if it had english text and japanese audio, that's supposed to be the whole advantage to having a region free console.


Pretty sure the advantage of being region free is being able to import my anime titty games without having to buy another console.

Also Taiko no Tatsujin.

Yeah have fun playing spandex kid goo fest with everyone on their lovely wireless routers. After you pay money for the privilege of course.

I imagine it's less lovely routers and more everyone going to trendy roof parties living in apartments, resulting in there being 6 routers within range of each other and competing to communicate on the same radio band.

Also they're fighting games with a low barrier to entry, so they're great for groups of people to play regardless of prior experience with the genre.

I do, but they're bluetooth and I have no idea whether the switch will support bluetooth headsets even if it has the capability to do so, like the PS4. I'm also not trying to defend nintendo's decision, just offer an explanation.

You sound like those crazy people who flipped their poo poo when control sticks were required over D-Pads.

Control schemes should always be experimented with. There is always cool new poo poo to figure out and fossilizing around something because it was the best we could do twenty yeara ago is myopic. Sometimes it won't work and sometimes it will.

Thanks for comparing me to someone losing their poo poo when all I did was express an opinion. And yeah, experimenting with controls is good, like how nintendo has been experimenting with waggle controls for 11 years now, and the result of that was skyward sword which I personally did not enjoy. I'm preordering the Switch cause I'm excited by what I've seen, motion controls included. But the biggest issue I have is when the motion controls are used for precise actions but it's never quite as precise as I'd like. I'm totally okay with using the wiimote as like a pointer such as in prime 3 and using it for imprecise stuff, like when it's just vigorous shaking like in no more heroes.

Maybe there were examples of better motion controls on the Wii U, but I skipped that console so I wouldn't know.

The twist is that he's one of the love interests of Princess Zelda, and the entire DLC is about making her work for your affection by spending stamina daily and building her stats.

Yeah, I'd still play that.

I can't tell if people are joking about the gooseneck mounts, but I legitimately want one of those.

Is there any consensus as to what's good/not, or is the prevailing wisdom to wait until the thing comes out and reviews for whatever's compatible roll in?

Allow me to put an end to your wondering:



No idea how good this one is or if it's so short it'll result in me literally having the switch rest on my face, but I can report back in a week if people want me to.
