Pre-ordered a switch and Zelda within a minute of it opening on Amazon. It all feels so wrong, there are so many negatives here yet I'm supporting their decisions. All because of Zelda. It's nice to live the dream that Zelda WiiU will be roughly similar to Zelda Switch and nothing beyond say LastGuardian PS4/PS4 Pro but I can see them using that stupid HD rumble stuff and motion crap throughout Zelda switch. I bet it's also really choppy on WiiU and they just proper fucked it off. It's actually in their interests for it to be the shitter version so that Zelda fanatic morons like me will shell out $400 just for one game.

According to the linked vid it is running better on Wii U.

EDIT: You're probably going to want to punch both the presenters in the face, fair warning.

The problem is, only people on video game forums would get it.

 

There wouldn't be an angle, the former just being a low powered console.

 

Aren't "only people on videogame forums" going to buy it anyway? I don't see anything there to capture casual users.

 

They sold a £250 handheld before and it flopped until they slashed the price, and this is more!

Remember before launch where people were speculating that Nintendo might charge an online fee but introduce a Netflix style service to access their back catalogue and how great that would be. Well we got the fee, but instead you get a single NES ROM which they take back after a month,

Ok I must admit the prospect of bringing back everyone's favorite terrorist and having 2 controllers to play it with portably is pretty cool. I actually think Bomberman may be the secret star of the Switch the more I think about it.

 

I doubt it. Bomberman has been dreadful for ages, I thought that the franchise died a slow death ages ago. The PC Engine and Saturn bombermans were great but that was many moons ago

I remember swearing I knew what the NX as soon as it was announced as being in the works and am sad it isn't this at all;

 

Small box hardware that can be played on TV/mobile, super cheap sold at a loss for Nintendo (no motion/fancy rumble etc) BUT has a Netflix style subscription (No cds/carts etc). It's the subscriptions that makes Nintendo the money. Only this subscription service is actually good! It's the ultimate Nintendo archive of just about every Nintendo game ever. There are various passes.

 

50 quid a month for ANY title including new games

25 quid a month for ANY game from Wii era or before

15 quid a month to access to all NES/SNES era

15 quid a month to access to all Gameboy/DS/3DS games

 

You can still buy new games digitally if you don't go for the premium model.

 

Oh how I wish it was this :(

A single NES/SNES game a month would already have been pretty laughable compared to PSN+/GWG. But the fact they only allow you to play it for a month takes this up to some performance art level fuckwittery. Bravo Nintendo.

You mean like PS4/Pro, 3DS/n3DS, and XB1/Scorpio? 

 

Yes but these consoles have an established fan base so for developers to create 2 versions with minor-moderate differences isn't as much of a risk as it is to create Switch versions.

 

I honestly think the Switch won't be any more popular than the Wii U in the long run.

XBLA version is pretty good.

I think they said the retro game could have added online features, so here's hoping for FZero SNES online multiplayer, and here's getting online time trial boards ;)

 

Also, I don't think they have said that's the only thing the paid service does have they?

It's a bit of a conundrum for Nintendo because they know they can sell their evergreen titles over and over, and their customers lap it up. But then they must also look at the revenue generated by Xbox Live and PSN and hear *kerching* they want to have their cake and eat it by making us pay for essentially what are month long demos.

I think I'm going to try and get just the console and two joy-cons second hand somehow. I have fuck-all TV time now anyway.

 

Or buy one and trade in all the accessories.

 

It doesn't do the WiiU style dual screen thing, so there'll be no gameplay features missing.

Yeah possibly but I can see people viewing it as more than just a handheld.

 

I am astounded that they haven't packed in 1, 2 Switch. It looks like shit loads of fun (and I'm not one for party games, I'm surprised I'm so keen on it), in the same way Wii Sports was.

I can't wait to use an app on my phone to check the leaderboards.

That's it.

Surely they're going to listen to the feedback between now and the testing period and change it. But this is Nintendo, so probably not!

The importance of Nintendo hardware is how they revolutionise control schemes and build their games around them. You can't get these experiences anywhere else.

Blimey, that's actually quite small, isn't it. I couldn't play comfortably on that for long, unless they're mini type games.

You can only say that if you know the price, surely? It could be 20 quid a year for all we know.


You can get XBL for not much more than that if you shop around, so no, that's not a great deal for a single NES or SNES game that you can only play for a month. They should at least put it on par with PS+/GWG in that you can keep/play the game as long as you have an active sub.
