Nintendo’s Switch Brings Some Magic Back

This time last year, the company that made Mario and Donkey Kong household names seemed to have lost its touch. Now, with the new console, it’s on a roll.

“ As the majority of Nintendo’s staunchest fans now own the console”

I wouldn’t call 10 million people the majority of Nintendo’s fans.

eagle213057d ago

Exactly. Nintendo DS sold 154 million. So I guess 10 million Nintendo fans bought 15.4 DS's per person....lmao.

Exactly.
Just like with the PS4; it's not like the majority of the PS3 or PS2 fans ever picked one up, or we'd already be seeing the PS4 up at 100M and beyond by now, but that doesn't indicate that the PS fanbase is only made up of those that got a PS4.XD

Still, it is true that the Switch has won back a lot of the fans that the Wii U lost/disenchanted.

““It’s what the Wii U should have been“

The level of tech in Switch would’ve been too expensive to produce in 2012. The NS could’ve only came out when it did in 2017, or even later had Wii U been a success.

WickedLester3056d ago

Agreed but the Switch does feel like a more natural successor to the Wii than the Wii U did.

Sorenzen3056d ago

Im really wanting to get one once Pokemon is announced

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
