[Megathread] Nintendo Switch

[zito]

Its 1,2 Switch with Cardboard.

I love how people ware pissed about 1,2 Switch costing $60 but this is somehow ok LOL.

"a new way for kids to play"

"OMFG NEW ANIMAL CROSSING GUYS"

I love the fucking community sometimes.

Also did anyone notice they are advertising this for kids yet.... only adults are in the commercials.... This is also fucking cardboard. Kids are gonna destroy it day 1, one trip and that "backpack" is squished.

Gives a whole new meaning to Day 1 Patch.......

[Jester Joe]

OMG Nintendo just created a new sub-genre...

Activision made toy's to life, Nintendo does cardboard to life...

IT'S TRULY GENIUS.

They had a pile of pizza boxes empty, and were trying to think of ways to recycle them lol

"comes with the games"

lets be real, the games are comparable to 1 2 switch. Their gonna be fucking demos.

You're paying $80 for fucking card board.

This is actually a fucking joke I can't decide between face palming or laughing my ass off on how stupid this is.

Whether or not you like it, you're paying $70 (not sure where $80 is coming from...) for the games and the cardboard.

Compared to 1 2 Switch, I'd say this is the better deal, but that's not saying much.

There was a kid wearing the backpack.
And several other times it was just hands.
I'm not sure where you're seeing "no kids".

lol the reddit is eating it up

Whoever actually buys this for $80 deserves to lose that $80.

If it was more like 20? Yea sure I can see it, but nintendo is literally fucking money grubbing with their accessories.

Games Workshop wishes they thought up this hustle.

TBF Finecast was 30+ per models, and cardboard probably has less air bubbles.

yet again, it's not $80.

$70 is what the majority of it is priced at.

Only the robot set is actually $80, and who knows what the game actually consists of.

[Jtbrig7390]

yet again, it's not $80.

The robot one is...

Edit: Also to nip pick a little its almost $80 for the cheaper one after tax.

That's one way to go green.

omfg $70 such a big fucking difference.

Buy a pro controller. They are literally ripping people off with tech demo games and cardboard.

Markers and stickers sold separately

This also explains nintendos VR patent they filed lolololol

[Chickat]

Feel like 50 dollars would have been a better price. While its cardboard some of the pieces looked pretty complex and had moving parts etc. Probably costs them like 15 dollars to make all of that, so its down to whether the games are worth it. Ill still never buy it.

Still worth being precise over when it was just announced, rather than misleading saying the whole thing is $80.

But yes, I fixed my post for that.

And it really is, Nintendo's just looking out for Earth Chan ;p

You were literally just making fun of people for being excited that it might be Animal Crossing when they had no information.

And now you're proceeding to do the same exact thing, make a hasty judgement based off of pure emotion when we have no information.

I'm making fun of it myself too, as you can see with Jt, but let's not be too hasty to start pure hatred based off of things we don't know yet.

We do know there's cardboard, yes. I'll stick to laughing at that. We don't know what the games fully consist of, or if they're worth it yet. Let's hold off on calling them tech demos.

There is no way in hell it cost them $15 to make all of that. Its rubber bands and cardboard, There is higher quality model kits that are cheaper then that.

Labo is hype. This is the kind of innovative, interesting shit that plays to the strengths of the hardware that I was hoping they'd deliver. We're getting this a year out from launch, which is fantastic. I don't care if it's all cardboard (for now) and will likely break with any serious use, this is the kind of conceptually awesome stuff I was hoping from Nintendo.

Hot damn Nintendo, you didn't dun goof for once. /highfive

They are gonna be like 1 2 switch, a big old demo to show off what the joycons can do. You actually think they are gonna be full on AAA quality games for kids toys? luuuuuuuuuullllll

you need to read between the lines more if you think I'm angry

I really hope you forgot the /S because this isn't innovative at all. Its make your own Nintendo accessory's. Its toys to life but with cardboard.

I didn't say you were angry, I said you're being a bit unfair to mock other posters for something you're doing yourself.

And no, I think they'll probably be more akin to Nintendo Land, which was actually a pretty solid tech demo for the Wii U, and probably still one of my favorite party games.
A far better Mario Party than Mario Party has been lately.
