Launch is actually pretty good. No good exclusives, but we are still getting the following at launch:
1. A better version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2. The only physical copy of The Binding of Isaac (Afterbirth Plus) for consoles
3. The only portable version of I am Setsuna
I plan on getting all 3, and despite none of these being exclusives, this is probably one of the best Nintendo launches I have experienced.
The only reason why a gamecube controller adapter would be needed is if the Nintendo Switch ever gets smash bros. But considering Sakurai said that he is done now, and we have never had a remaster of a smash game, I highly doubt we will get one anytime soon.
It is an issue for a home console, but for a portable console, cartridges are much better to be used than discs.
I am very happy they made it so you always start with at least a set amount of healing items this time around. In previous demos, you didn't respawn with healing items unless you already had them, and you couldn't store them anywhere. Meaning you had to farm healing items before fighting bosses. Now it is a lot more bearable. I thoroughly enjoyed this demo and cannot wait for this game.
3DS had a large launch lineup but none of the games were actually very good. The first "must have" game for the 3DS was a port and didn't come out until a few months after the system came out.
Switch has a smaller lineup but the lineup is fairly good despite not being necessarily exclusive (I will be getting Zelda and Binding of Isaac).
"The games we have are amazing! You will be amazed by these awesome experiences."
*reveals new version of Minecraft*
Look into the PDP zelda case. It looks way cooler. They also have a zelda console skin that looks really cool as well.
Despite having a PS4 Pro, Xbox One, and a top of the line gaming pc, I think I will get Yooka-Laylee on Switch if it gets a physical copy, at least as long as it runs at 60 fps. As a throwback to Banjo-Kazooie and other classic N64 platformers, I feel Yooka-Laylee will feel the most nostalgic on a Nintendo System.
But if it only runs at 30 fps on switch, I will get it for PC.
Not having them won't kill the system. It doesn't NEED them.
BUT I will say that now days, with how many games I get and how busy I am with school and work, I generally don't play optional content in video games unless it provides trophies/achievements. I generally play the main game, then move on to the next game.
The 32gb is internal memory for the system, which can be upgraded to up to 2Tb with the use of a micro sd card (currently micro sd cards only go up to 512gb).
Not sure what the actual size of the cartridges are.
I personally like him. One of the few FF villains to actually succeed in the end.
There are no new standard race tracks. It includes the DLC. But there are plenty of new courses for the new battle mode.
From watching the trailer, there are at least 5 new courses for battle mode:
- Splatoon Course
- Lord Bowser Course
- Mario Kart GBA style course
- Haunted Mansion course
- Course with the spinning platform in the middle
Launch and most of 2017 looks grim. But with how much third party support it is getting and games such as Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that are coming out early on in its life, I feel like it will do a lot better. I have 13 Wii U games (including ports/remakes) with no plans on getting more... (Well, there is one I am debating on). But switch already has more than half that number of games coming out in its first year (including ports/remakes) that I plan on getting. So I am optimistic that it will...
Zelda is really the only good launch title, and it is coming for the Wii U so it doesn't give many people reasons to get the system right away.
I personally feel like 1-2 switch should be included with the system like wii-sports was for the wii.
I am a nintendo fan. I do plan on getting the switch day 1. But I can say that this presentation had issues. Like most Nintendo fans, I don't particularly care about power/graphics. But for a handheld system, the switch is very impressive.
But I am worried. As excited as I am for Zelda, it isn't an exclusive title. The first exclusive title that actually looks good and caters to a large amount of people is Mario, which doesn't come out until the holidays. Everyt...
32gb with upgradeable storage via microSD is perfectly fine. Higher storage would have added to the system cost and it would have forced those who purchase physical games and don't use much storage to pay more. This is good because:
- Those who play physical games only and don't use much storage won't have to pay extra
- Those who do stick to digital games will be able to upgrade the storage as they see fit. MicroSD cards go up to 512 gb now.
...
Xbox One is the only console I have ever regretted purchasing.
Reports I am seeing are saying the following:
Wii U version - 720p @ 25-30 fps
Switch version undocked - 720p @ 25-30 fps
Switch version docked - 900p @ 30 fps
Well that's a bit of a *switch* from what I am used to.
