the idea that the switch is first and foremost a home console is nothing but a marketing tactic by nintendo to avoid putting the switch in direct competition with the 3ds by calling it a handheld.
to anyone but the most deluded, gullable and brainwashed, its blatantly obvious that the switch is a handheld that plugs into the tv.
just because nintendo says its a home console first, doesnt mean it is.
it seems nintendo dont even have the ...
Seeing as their ad featured blatantly wealthy cool kids, its obvious that they are going for the higher end of the market, price wise.
Nintendo have been emulating apple for a few years now but the ad was the strongest indicator of this.
Its going to cost £400 for the most basic version, with other versions with more storage being priced higher.
No children were in the advert, so it's not aimed at soccer moms wanting to treat t...
The switch will only be a success if they immediately terminate their support for 3ds.
The switch needs Nintendo's full undivided attention, it needs to be the focus of third party support too. If Nintendo still support the 3ds, it totally defeats the strength having a hybrid console brings to their business.
The most worrying thing is that Nintendo say the switch doesn't replace the ds or wiiu, which suggests Nintendo will continue supporting the...
i never understood the success of 3ds, it has no games and yes, shit graphics.
wiiu is so worthless its not even worth making a 'slim' version, nintendo should just slash the price and get them all off the market. i mean, who is actually buying £250 wiius? they must be out their minds.
its a £100 console, tops. even that is too much
its already confirmed to cost a fortune, as hinted at by the inclusion of rich kids with unlimited leisure time and disposable income in their reveal.
obviously the intention was meant to make the switch out to be a highly desirable item that we all aspire to obtain, like the lifestyles of those featured in the ad... but i think the end result is actually a sense that nintendo are completely out of touch.
remember when nintendo used to cater to gamers?
If you look at the image for this story, the woman looks like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and dumber
their advert showed snot nosed hipsters with unlimited leisure time hopping on planes like they were subway trains and lounging around on their rooftop villas.. so i guess the switch is going to cost a fortune.
either that or nintendo are completely out of sync with gamers and society of today in general.
what a deluded advert.
its not a stupid question.
what if the switch had a hdmi out so you could plug it into the tv without the dock, and then use it as a second screen?
what if the dock was merely a plastic stand to hold the switch upright and stop it from falling over?
considering there is literally no info besides what we saw in the video, the only thing that is stupid is people assuming it can only connect to the tv through the dock
It seems like Nintendo are more concerned about appealing to a certain social class of person, rather than a certain type of gamer.
Why can't regular everyday inner city people play switch.
They chose a plane instead of a bus or subway train. They chose a barbeque on a rooftop villa instead of a couple of beers with your mates in the back garden, they chose some swanky basketball court with lovely picnic tables, instead of a skate park.

Have you ever tried VR.. on weed?
All jokes aside, I agree with the sentiment that VR isn't immune to criticism. Nothing is
the advert was corny. a bunch of snot nosed rich kids with unlimited leisure time.
gaming at a mid summer barbeque on a rooftop villa... come on. nintendo think they are apple
its a self-destruct button
i agree, a bunch of recycled wiiu games dont make the best launch line up of all time. they even had to scavenge zelda from the wiiu.
switch has absolutely nothing, just as i predicted before the reveal.
the ONLY new game it had, was that mario game. and lets face it, mario is not exciting anymore.
obviously ultimate editions/game of the year editions featuring all the downloaded digital content, along with a few little extras. ie, trying to make people by the same shit all over again.
and lets face it, the games look exactly like wiiu games. ie no noticeable upgrade in graphics quality.
zelda- wiiu game
mario kart- wiiu game with bells and whistles
splatoon- wiiu game with bells and whistles
...
nintendo are only saying its a home console because they dont want to put it in direct competition with the 3ds by marketing it as a handheld.
no BC is a deal breaker. i want to play wiiu games on the switch.
how will they have digital downloads on a console with carts? that little console is not going to have a hard drive. and if the dock does, that means you would only be able to play downloaded games at home.
candy crush 4k confirmed
its a door stop. when you leave the house with the switch, it keeps the door open
i noticed all the hipster/vegan/non-gamers in the trailer too. the guy was taking a plane like it was a bus.
corny
i think they are preparing people for a graphical downgrade
