300€, paid online with the offer of a NES and SNes title every month that you can apparently only play during that month, all the social aspects are done through a smartphone app...
This will make the Wii U seem somewhat successful in comparison.
Edit: forgot about the 32GB internal storage, Zelda occupies half of that.

By Xpike Go To PostStreet Fighter 2 for Switch is $40That's a rip off. It's basically an HDR (came out in 2008) port with 2 extra characters.
By KidA Seven Go To PostThat's a rip off. It's basically an HDR (came out in 2008) port with 2 extra characters.They are making users pay for a smartphone app to chat with other players (and that won't be available until the Fall). They are on another level in terms of ripping off customers.
Apparently the only service will only be available on the States, Canada and Mexico at launch.

Just woke up and catching up with all this madness:
Nintendo pls
I'm assuming this for the North American Nintendo region though.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostAhahahahahI must be missing where it says that at all.
You need to have a smartphone to chat on the Switch and you pay for that privilege.
By jts Go To PostI must be missing where it says that at all.Which part?
By LFMartins86 Go To PostWhich part?Where does it say it requires a smartphone for chat? It says that the app lets you chat. There's a PS app that also lets you chat.
It may still be true, but what says there doesn't mean that.
edit: corrected from allow to lets, but it's the same thing.
Fucking hell five pages of gaming posts, absolutely shit sensations

Seriously, Nintendo had alot of goodwill from players and they're still unable to deliever the most basic things. Incredible.
Do you know what's more silly than Nintendo switch.
People refusing to evacuate there homes when there has been a tidal surge warning.
It's just material things man, you can build a new home.

By Laboured Go To PostNow THAT'S entertainment.
Like, this thing looks even more far off the pace than the WiiU did.
Disagree, most of the negative reaction is from GAF (so....incredible hyperbole born of their own disappointment that nintendo didn't closely adhere to their ridiculous fucking bingo cards) at the minute. They've definitely made missteps, it's £50/$50 too expensive, and the lack of a pack-in is baffling to me.
But this thing is launching with a new Zelda (which does look incredible, and i haven;t been very impressed with BOTW until that newest trailer), and a Mario Kart a month later, I mean Mario Kart 8 on Wii U sold 8 million. 8 million....on the Wii U. That alone is huge. The new Mario game looks incredible, weird NYC aside, and is coming this year. Along with a new Splatoon and a new full Pokemon game if rumours are to be believed.
It's still VERY Nintendo, strange and baffling decisions all over. But compared to the Wii U this thing is considerably stronger in software alone.
Oh boy, they announced Xenoblade 2! With stupid fucking anime characters! I'm not sure I'll even want to emulate that
The games for the Switch look great. Zelda, Mario, No More Heroes, Xenoblade. Online stuff is woeful but w/e.
I've never seen a Suda game that even intrigues me
Something about his humour and the aesthetics he favours just doesn't work for me in the slightest.

By Laboured Go To PostAt least some of these Switch games will be great on PC.
Alan's list of programmes ideas in episode one of I'm Alan Partridge is still funny despite having watched that episide probably dozens of times. They're just trashy enough to being believable, and just arbitrary enough to remain ludicrous. They each conjure an absolutely ridiculous mental image of what they'd actually be like. Especially Youth Hostelling With Chris Eubank.
By Laboured Go To PostIf you don't do it, Sky will.I'm legit surprised they haven't
There's some right guff on there. Would fit right in with new Simpsons and darts.

Zelda is also going to be available on the Wii U.
329 is way too much. If you want to go digital, you need an MicroSD card as Zelda alone will fill most of the internal storage, the controller is 70$, if you want Ethernet you'll have to pay 30$.
You have to use your phone for voice chat, a feature that's part of the paid services that include online gaming and a free NES or SNes game that apparently you can only play for a month.
They are asking for 40$ for a port of a 10 year old remake with new characters.
Yes, Mario and Zelda are great for the hardcore but you need the casual crowd to get great sales and I don't think they are willing to pay extra to play Mario and Zelda.
By the fall, PS4 slim could be at 250€ or even 200€, with the Pro at 299€. That would kill the Switch. There are many people who are buying 4K TVs and they want 4K contant, not Zelda at 900p.
Payet is indeed French. How about that.
By Laboured Go To PostNow THAT'S entertainment.It inspired my Don Mattrick's image. Nintendo has Xboned it. This thing is going to struggle after that Zelda launch window passes.

I'll talk to you about pokemon but fuck marvel and rooney both
Martins gets it.
This fall is going to be a bloodbath at retail.
Another hardware launch and all three are going to be competing for the same customers.
Unless the Switch VC has a decent Wii library (Galaxies, Wind Waker, etc.) I'll probably be down for a Wii U if they finally drop down to $150.

Nintendo really needs to abandon their mindset that every console has to be sold at a profit. They can't hope to compete with Microsoft and Sony being willing to take a loss on every machine sold. It needed be £220 or thereabouts, at the moment its too expensive even to compete with phones
I haven't had Nintendo console since SNES days but due to my life being a lot more on the go I feel switch will allow me to game more. I'm jumping in and supporting for that reason alone and while I'm excited to play my first Zelda game can't say I'm super pumped atm

I like Lycanroc (day form), Tsareena and Magearna. Oh and Incineroar is pretty sweet. I also like the new Alolan Marowak and Ninetails.
By Laboured Go To PostYeah, I am not a Zelda fan but fucking hell....
They should price them £80 like in the good old days. Game carts are back u guyz!
Nintendo's ball must have tripled in size if they think people will pay that amount for a game

Incineroar is a true lad. Big fan of Passimian too.

I haven't caught a Passimian. Looks cool though. Lemurs are pretty ballin
