I always said and thought this about Reggie - he comes off as waaaaay too arrogant.

I'm not a huge fan of MS but Nintendo needs someone like Phil Spencer. Reggie is obviously a smart man but in all of his PR appearances he addresses people like they have super low IQ.

I know what you mean. I own the wiiu and for the most part I have loved the console and has some amazing 1st party games but the last 12 to 18 months have been few and far between for 1st party games. I just hope that Nintendo use the switch to replace the wiiu and 3ds so we get to see big name games like Mario kart a Splatoon 2 but also some of the bigger portable games like Pokemon come to the switch to. If the switch loses 3rd party support it kind of wont matter then in terms of the ips nintendo will offer.

I that said it's still early days and anything could happen we have not seen much of the pro or next Xbox so it will also depend on how and if they are pushed to.

For me though I'm excited for the switch and can't wait to get my hand one one and also see more come January.

see I am seeing it more for the handheld side. The fact that I can take any game I want and play it wherever I want is everything I wanted the Wii U to be. Sadly the range on the Wii U gamepad was just a little too short for my tastes.

I got so much use out of my Wii U for the Nintendo games, that I don't even care. I mean for someone to say that they didn't get $300 worth of use from their Wii U obviously shouldn't be buying the console in the first place. There were so many amazing quality first party games on that system. Sure, not having 3rd party hurt. But then again, I have a PS4 Pro for all my 3rd party gaming needs.

If the games are on cartridges, I am going to assume that the price of the games is going to fall between Wii U and 3DS prices.

As if you've got room to talk after all the times you've given passes to everyone BUT Nintendo for things that deserve criticism.

@wond- I give my fair share of criticism of all companies, even companies I personally like

Consider lot of the criticisms that are faced by Nintendo are by a lot of its fans as they're going to be.

I'm still purchasing the switch just like I purchased the 3DS. My greatest issue with you is simply that there are things that this company does that is wrong. All companies have things that they do that were pretty big mistakes, you happen to be one of the very few users on this site that seems to disregard almost every major mistake this company has made even ones that are extremely obvious you're actually still trying to argue against a 190 million users not returning to purchase Nintendo Hardware despite it being simple math

That's a lot of people that used purchase Nintendo Hardware that might have realistic criticisms.

I still criticize Publishers like Capcom despite me going to purchase titles like Resident Evil 7.

I still criticized Hello Games despite purchasing no man's sky.

I still criticize The Witcher 3 when it had a series of issues despite purchasing it day one.

The reality is you could still like a company's games all while still addressing specific issues that they have you just have to learn to detach yourself during the conversation you seem to get literally emotional about it even going so far as to bring up other companies as if it has anything to do with the current topic.

ie "oh I see, so when Sony or Microsoft or Activision" etc

Fyi- I'm the one that even saying that they did a good job on The Tonight Show......

Sooooo yea

"you're actually still trying to argue against a 190 million users not returning to purchase Nintendo Hardware despite it being simple math "

And you're still doing the same for all those PS2 and PS3 users that didn't instantly upgrade to a PS4, let alone the Pro or ANY of Sony's handhelds, so again, quit with the hypocrisy.

Edit; yet another long essay about how you don't do something, while making every excuse in the book for doing it.
I distinctly remember you brushing off anyone who criticised you for not holding Sony's userbase accountable for not upgrading during our talks regarding the Wii U.
You kept focusing back on Nintendo's lack of ability to bring those players to the Wii U as if it were a sign that they are dying, while giving out excuses to cover Sony going through the same thing and not reaching the same doomed conclusion.
Acknowledging that Sony lost market share, but never acknowledging that that meant a downward spiral, while doing the exact opposite in regards to Nintendo, using it as a sign that Nintendo's on the way out of consoles altogether. You've been doing such things for a while now.
