Nintendo Switch!! The NX revealed!

[Mist]

I have to say I was worried about what the NX might be. Rumors have been going on for months that its a home/mobile hybrid. Like the wii/wii u I was afraid it would be too gimmicky. While the Switch is a gimmick its pretty impressive.

No real specs confirmed yet.

Games so far are

Legend of Zelda: Breatge of the wild
Skyrim?(probably the new remastered version)
unnamed mario kart
unnamed 3D mario
Splatoon 2?

The real question is are you hyped? Are you willing to buy it? What do you think of it?

I cannot wait for the presentation. Unlike you, I'm not worried at all. Wii U was a failure and Nintendo knows it perfectly. I pretty sure they took the right decisions to make the system good for the gamers and great for the revenues!

oh joy a reply! I thought nobody cared at first.

I do plan on getting a switch, mainly so I can play Splatoon 2.


but there are still worries. While I enjoyed my wii u I will admit it was a commercial failure. I do see the potential success of the Switch but heres my main concerns for th Switch to the point it gets Wii U-ish

Poor Launch Line-up - The switch has a good 2017 line up but not a good line up for launch. For whatever reason Super Mario Oydssy is mostly ready according to producers and they are doing bug fixes and it wwont be out for holiday. Honestly if the switch was released september on wards it wouldnt be a problem. My main issue with this is the 3ds/Wii U had bad launch line up, got flak for it and nintendo said they learned their lesson. THEY CLEARLY HAVENT LEARNED THE LESSON SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD CONSOLE IN A ROW WITH BAD LAUNH LINE UP. Zelda and the switch version of wii sports just cant cut it.


The online service OMG where do I start. I both sad and glad miiverse is gone. I liked miiverse only for the art ppl did but everything else was bad like you never knew when u got messages. Like I didnt find out somebody messaged me to play watchdogs until like 3 months later.

Getting off point here. I am glad they are having paid online service similar to Playstation Plus and XBOX Live. BUT BUT BUT. 2 major problems. FIRST MAJOR PROBLEM: you wanna voice chat? First you need to have the paid service THEN download a phone app. All the voice chat is through a phone app. Thats just bad. playing games then needing a phone. Not everyone has a smart phone or the right ones and stuff like that. The switch has a fantastic smart phone app thats for parental controls. If Nintendo was worried about toxic language for the kids theres tons of better ways they couldve done VC without doing this.

So with both Playstation and Xbox premium account players get a free game a month to keep forever. With Switch you get a free game a month to borrow. After a month you have to pay for it!! LIKE WHAT. Are you telling me a premium accounts gets me only a free monthly rental?? THATS DUMB!!! Nintendo has so many games in their back catalogue that giving out free games wouldnt harm their esales. Yet from this move it seems thats what they think. I think if nintendo gets enough backlash from players about this the whole borrow a game for a month might change and players might keep said games like how PS/XBOX does

These are my main worries
