See I knew this kind of shit would start once multiplats on the Switch started rolling out. Nintendo should have never promoted this as a home console. It's simply not powerful enough to compare to the competition. It's a slightly beefier Wii U that's portable.
"-A game that was delayed so many times they just said screw it we'll wait for our next console to release (Zelda)."
Yeah OK. What does that have to do with the fact that it's going to be an awesome game? What you quoted doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the title.
"A Wii U port with a new game mode? (MK8)"
Full game + all DLC, 5 new characters, new battle mode, new battle arenas, full 1080...
Well, I want it and I'm a consumer. My 6 year old son REALLY wants it and he' a consumer.
Ahhh but now you can play in the crapper!
That commercial was 100% better than their entire presentation.
Am I the only one sick of hearing from this guy?
LMAO!!!!
To be fair, Nintendo has no business charging for an online service that is undoubtedly the worst one of the 3 competitors. At least Sony knew how inferior their network was during the PS3 era and had the good sense not to charge for it.
"Skyrim couldn't run on the Wii U"
Oh bullshit! Wii U is more powerful than both PS3/X360 and Skyrim ran on both of those consoles!
One of my best friends is a complete sold out, died in the wool Xbox sheep. ALL he can talk about is backwards compatibility. While I don't disagree that its a nice feature to have, I've made the point to him that if your system's most coveted feature is the ability to play old games, what does that say about it's current library? X-D
Oh FFS! I'm not sure if MS is necessarily to blame for Scalebound's cancellation but praise?!?!? Jesus, we've reached a new level of rationalization.
I posted this in another thread but, it will take a minor miracle for anything to knock Zelda Breath of the Wild off the GOTY throne. Not necessarily because it's deserved but because the media falls all over itself at the mere mention of the name.
No need to sell me on it. I was on board the first time I saw it.
249.99 simply puts it on par, price wise with current gen consoles. That's not some mind-blowing price tag. If it launched at 199.99, now THAT would be impressive!
I must be some weirdo because I have never liked Minecraft, nor have I ever understood it's mass appeal.
It's hard to say until we know for sure what the specs are. If the specs are "comparable" to the PS4/X1 (and by comparable I mean, within the ballpark, not necessarily matching spec for spec) then I'd say it's a great price considering the added mobile functionality. If the specs are considerably weaker than the PS4/X1 to the point that it simply cannot handle current generation 3rd party games, then I'd say 249.99 isn't horrible but not much of a selling point...
Yes I'm definitely getting it for my "son" as well so "he" can enjoy Zelda. ;-)
I never understood what all the fuss was about either. I tried getting into it a couple of times myself and just lost interest.
I actually think this is ND's answer to all the complaints about Nadine's character development.
I feel as more time goes by, Nintendo is going to regret the decision to market this thing first and foremost as a home console. I think they would be much better off marketing the Switch as a powerful successor to the 3DS, putting all the focus on the mobility of the machine and downplay the home-docking functionality as just an added bonus. Otherwise, every single time Digital Foundry posts a video comparison of any multi-console title, the Switch version is going to get embarrassed. Percep...
