Lets use Nintendo fan logic
"As long as it fun why does it need to be as powerful?" Well then why purchase a new console at all? Atari 2600 had fantastically fun games. NES hell SNES had some of the best Nintendo, EA, Square, Enix and Acclaim games ever made. Why spend 300$ on Switch? Because graphic, hardware and software all matter. Having powerful hardware means bigger and sometimes not always better experiences. You know what doesnt equal better experiences ...
Ive heard the opposite Ive heard the Wii U version plays better that Switch.
So this only runs 900p and 30fps.....what? Is it 2006 or 2017? This game isnt that graphically demanding and it can barely run this on a 1080p screen at 30fps in 900p.....jesus christ Nintendo.
Um the gamecube had Crystal Chronicals man.
Well after seeing that it can only output 1080p, 32gigs storage, has carts for games, 300$, wifi only and adapter needed for real network play, paid online and a secondary smart device needed for party chat, friends list and real network capability..............I dont think this will sell well.
The only way the Switch will out sell the Wii U is if Nintendo kills off the 3DS, if Nintendo doesnt kill off the 3ds the Switch will sell about 10-15 million units.
The industry moved away from carts almost 20yrs ago because of the limitations carts present. Having a system with carts in 2017 isnt a plus.
Edit: souljaboy you act like you cant trade or sell a cd......
No they wont, they will want to spend as little as posible so why would I spend 360$, when I can get the same game and experience on a console I may already own? Most sales of Zelda will be Wii U 1 because Nintendo will short stock the Switch to make it appear to be selling well even if it doesnt and 2 it eould be cheaper if I owned a Wii U to just buy it for the Wii U.
Nope Switch will have no effect on Horizen.
@moldybread
Zelda looked tired and weak not good. Its also supposed to be playable on Wii U. So why do I need a Switch @300$ when I could buy a Wii U at the pawn shop for like 120$.
Defending some of the nonsense that took place last night at the presentation is just sad. Keep up Ninteny fanboys and you beloved Nintendo will go the way of Sega and be just a software company.
@theoptimist
Fun is subjective like most things. ME:A , Horizen, GT Sport, Destiny 2, Bloodborn 2, Rainbow 6 Siege year 2, Battlefield 1 they all interest me. What doesnt interest me another Zelda, Mario, Pikiman and the other childrens games. These childrens games you find "fun" are pretty boring and really what you are saying by "fun" is simplistic, unchallenging, brightly colored, with simple uncomplicated stories. Your idea of "fun" seems t...
@Erick7357
You keep wanting to compare thre Switch line up to Ps4. This is puzzling as you sound like a Nintendo fanboy wanting to compare Wii U to Ps Vita in some hope of making it look less weak or some how less bad. I saw nothing and it appears lots of potential buyers feel the same, that is going to make me buy or want a Nintendo Switch especially at 300$. They didnt talk specs at all last night because they already know, the hardware is much weaker than Xbone or Ps4 let alone ...
Yeah the PSV doesnt have ethernet and its selling so well isnt it?
Only Nintendo people dont care for wited connections apprently.
No dev uses just Wifi
People are getting tired of zombies
It was either bad or the xbone couldnt run it at a good rez, frame and still include what the dev wanted to include.
Well now that gamers dominant most of the current and budding media, we are cool enough to worry about.
@Naruga Nintendo is starting next gen in a few days, the Switch is Nintendo's next gen console, the Wii U was current gen for Nintendo.
Wouldnt surprise me if MS wanted Scalebound move to Scorpio as an exclusive but we will have to wait a few more months to find out what MS's plan is for Scorpio.
You wont be able to jut buy any SD card either it will have to be a Nintendo brand or approved SD card so the price will be pretty expenive.
