[Megathread] Nintendo Switch

[Ilir]

The only thing I want now is monster hunter 5 as a release title.

- - - Updated - - -

People will want to buy the handheld standalone, say for their kids, or for a cheaper option.

Other bundles are either a Pro option (Pro controller, larger hard drive) or game bundles (like a Breath of the Wild Edition).

Oh. I see. Makes sense I guess.

[zito]

Trade ur Wii-U copys in for it.

Gamestop is shit though, they'll give me $10 trade in for it :l

[Beefsquatch]

I like it. It's a handheld. It's a tablet. It's a home console.

The pro controller looks fucking sweet, both the Mobile and HC modes look super sleek and modern.

My main concerns for the console are still unanswered.

Will this thing reach parity with OG XB1 and OG PS4 at least? When docked that is.
Has Ninty improved it's OS and online ecosystem?
What's the price?

Before I make the leap, I need them questions answered. THEN I shall proceed to pre order =)

If Mario Kart is a port, it will be a complete edition with all of the DLC for $60. If it's MK9, I'm wondering why they brought back Mario Circuit Wii U..

It really does not look like MK8. There's tracks not in MK8 and there's two item slots. Looks new to me.

Well, for quite a while people thought that the Wii U was an extension of the Wii, so...
Yes in the end comes up for marketing, but I wouldn't hold my hopes up for people getting what this is easily.

The bolded is why, The marketing was shit and the names was the same for the most part.

Sell them on many different selling sites and apps.

I need to rewatch it then for those segments and see that myself.

[GennGreymane]

This is what the Wii U should have been! At a first glance, it looks like they fixed literally everything wrong with the prior systems.

[johnhoftb]

Okay I saw the two item boxes, but Yoshi's Circuit from Double Dash is apart of the first MK8 DLC.

[A Chozo]

So, finally, the console goes with me instead of the gamepad with a stream to the console. And why I'm saying just console? It's a handheld-console hybrid thingy!

I love switching places while I game with the Wii U, but the walls block my signal D:

[Tyranitar]

Looks... interesting. Though I fear mobile performance will be an issue for many third party games, because crappy ports with crappy scaling.
Also my hopes for the first Nintendo console technically on par with current gen (on release day) are crushed once again.

[Usagi Senshi]

I'll be trading in most of my Wii U (console later if they allow game transfers from the Wii U) collection towards this TBH.

Getting replacement Wii U pads later on down the road will be a pain in the ass.

Guys, I want this to do well for a very interesting reason

If its portable, and all games are made to become portable... that may destroy the idea of always online.

Major bonus

So for years people have been saying "Nintendo has always done well in the handheld market, they should focus on that and not consoles."

Their reply is to make a machine that does both. Absolutely genius.

I wonder if there will be a mod pack for skyrim like there is a special pack for minecraft of Zelda things.

For many years we wanted third party support from Nintendo

they fucking give us portable skyrim!

[johnhoftb]

Jim Sterling's thoughts. He likes the idea, but has some obvious concerns.

Well yeah... Don't you want to play Skyrim @ 720p 15fps on your 70" 4k TV?

Oh, I didn't buy the DLC, sorry. What about the playable King Boo?

hes not in 8 soooo this is either a much improved remaster (all DLC+new content) or a new mario kart

You further prove what will make or break the Switch.

Wii had good marketing and it helped a lot.

Wii U? Not so much marketing and with a name too similar to Wii, it left a lot of average consumers unaware or confused.
