Someone inform this guy that RAM is not the limitation of GPU power. It will take one second to realize that you aren't going to run Witcher 3 at 4k/60fps on Scorpio, let alone a power hungry game like GR: Wildlands. My 1080TI OC'd to 1950 barely maxes that game out at 1440p/60fps, and while it does run Witcher 3 at 4k/60fps, there are rare dips into the 50s. So, when someone says it will take such and such to "fully utilize it's power", that is pure bs. There's alre...
I pirate old games from 2000 and back. Mostly NES, SNES, Genesis.... ect. Why? Because I don't give a *%&^. Any newer games, I buy. Mostly on Steam.
Nintendo gimped their home console for portability. Probably the worst gimmick yet. Who wants to squint at a 6" screen to play games? No thank you. Mobile gaming is terrible.
I have also been gaming for a long time. Since 1984, to be exact. I have seen graphics go from literal blocks on a screen to huge, open, beautiful worlds. Boundaries ALWAYS need to be pushed. These are called VIDEO games for a reason. Visuals and immersion are a huge part of quality and the very reason we play the games. Are certain games good without cutting edge graphics? Sure. But, companies that push the boundaries with immersion are what drives this industry forward and are the reason yo...
This, people, is why I pirate old games with no remorse at all, whatsoever! Nintendo is such a terrible company, and the Switch is an abysmal failure of a console, just as the Wii and Wii U were. I'm done supporting them for good. They shaped my childhood, for sure, but what they have become as a company is inexcusable.
There's a difference between using a phone to text/call someone or looking up a website and gaming. I don't game on my phone either. I have standards.
Breath of the Wild is the only good AAA title that Nintendo will have this year. The rest will be either indie crap or rehash titles that you can already buy on the Wii U. Every major system sells good it's first 2 months. Especially Nintendo. Wait until month 3 and 4 when the shelves are overflowing with systems, BotW is STILL the only game out for it... people will lose interest.
For those of us who have absolutely no use for mobile gaming at all, the Switch is nothi...
I am enjoying the hell out of this game fwiw.
I swear that is the most plastic looking face/hair ever. Is this 2017 or 2005? Did I time warp backwards somehow?
The beginning of the end. I called this months ago. Wait until month #3 and 4 to see this system's true colors. It's sales will fall off of the map. Gimping a home systems power to make it a handheld is a terrible idea. Nintendo should have made 2 systems. A handheld that is exactly the Switch controller and a separate, up to date console. I have no use for mobile gaming. With a 55" OLED at home, why am I ever going to squint to game on a 6" screen? So, if you aren't int...
I have it pre-ordered. I never pre-order games at all anymore, but ME is my favorite franchise in gaming. I'm holding out hope, but, if this game is broken, as parts of it are looking, I will never pre-order a game again. No AAA game should EVER be shipped with animations this terrible in 2017. What the hell were these idiots thinking?
Being as weak as a 2-generations-old console? Only having 1 game that anyone wants to play?
Wait for it. This thing's sales will plummet off of a cliff. Every Nintendo console sells great at launch, when people find out that Zelda is the only game for it, and almost nothing is planned exclusive for the next year. Bye bye. Nintendo needs to exit the hardware market anyways. No one wants to play terrible sub-1080p sub-30fps crap in 2017. My hope is that Nintendo's ha...
The Wii U sold like this for the first 2 months as well. Nothing new. Wait until month 3 and the only real viable exclusive is still Zelda, and almost nothing but a re-hashed Mario Kart is coming out in the next 6 months. Sales of this thing will plummet. Mobile gaming is useless to me, so I hope it does fail and Nintendo is forced to make games on all platforms like SEGA. Then we could actually play Zelda at a decent resolution and framerate.
Nintendo's hardware needs ...
SJW, entitled, soft, weak, pathetic losers. Women make degrading jokes about men all the time and we are supposed to take it and smile. This guy makes a joke about women and gets crucified. This is the same idealism that allows women to hit men over and over "in the heat of an argument" but if you so much as touch her to defend yourself, it's ABUSE! I swear, if the greatest generation (WW2 war vet era) knew that THIS type of weak idiocy was what they were fighting and protectin...
I feel that sales of it are going to fall off a cliff after the first 2 months. The same or worse than the Wii U.
I feel that Zelda is the only title worth playing on the system at all, at launch and that in no way warrants the purchase of $300 hardware....
I feel that mobile gaming is terrible and that I have no use for it at all, so all I would get if I bought it was an underpowered home console that currently has one good game (that looks and plays like a game made in 200...
I will admit, I am spoiled by PC hardware. I went from playing Witcher 3 at 4k/60fps on my PC to BotW on the Wii U. I don't care how good the actual game itself is, the world is a muddy, frameskipping horror. Graphics are just terrible for 2017... I shelved it. Once the fine people at CEMU get this up and running on PC, I will play it again. 720p and 20fps in 2017 is godawfully horrible.
Nintendo should be ashamed of their terrible hardware, ruining the visuals and fram...

I'm playing on Wii U because I refuse to shell out $300 for hardware with terrible performance in 2017. I also have absolutely zero use for mobile gaming, so the Switch, to me is just a pathetically weak home console with no upside to it at all whatsoever. That and Zelda is the only game for the system that is even remotely worth buying.
These numbers show what real gamers TRULY want! Amazing graphics at an affordable price with great exclusives. Pretty sure the Switch is going to fail even though Reggie says it's selling "amazingly". lol. The Wii U sold "amazingly" the first 2 months also.
Mobile gaming is terrible and that leaves you with an underpowered home console with godawful last gen graphics. Squinting at a 6" screen to play a video game? I'll pass.... and thanks N...
At least it doesn't run at godawful 720p and 20fps like BotW. Zelda graphics and frame stuttering are so terrible that I shelved the game. Unacceptable performance in 2017
I'm seriously good w/ 4k/60+ (possibly 144hz later) gaming instead of 8k. 4k is plenty of pixels, even on a big screen TV, you can use AA on a 65+" screen and be fine. I would rather texture details get better and frame rates pushed to above 100fps than using that extra power for more pixels. Just my opinion. With PC, I will get to choose that option as well. Great thing about that platform. I already have a 1440p/165hz IPS monitor and an OLED 55" 4k/60fps TV, so that is good en...
