Nintendo Switch Official Thread

The commercial lost me when they showed people at the basketball courts, stopping between games to play 2K on their Nintendo Switch

Yeah, that's never going to happen . I think it was more of a way to show that an NBA game will be on the system.

The devices you mention do way more than just play video games. I don't think people are as interested in carrying a device dedicated to gaming everywhere they go when they already carry devices that are capable of gaming and much more on a daily basis. This isn't to say it will fail, its just something to consider.

I live in NYC and take the subway to work. Every game that seems to offer something with more substance than the typical matching bullshyt requires a data connection to play. I ended up going back to my 3DS for something to play while I commute.

I'm only speaking for myself here.

Looks pretty dope. Only thing that worries me is that screen resolution and glare. From the video that screen looks kinda low res.

I hope you mean specifically the portable CONSOLE GAMING market.

Yeah the dedicated gaming market of course. Although tablet sales also continue to shrink. I'm just saying there isn't alot of people looking to play Splatoon with their boss at work. People can keep saying Japan this Japan that but that market shrunk the most this generation and 3DS sales come no where near DS sales. Mobile game are bigger there than dedicated game sales already.

The obsession with hardware is one of the many things wrong with this industry. You're focusing on the wrong thing. If you want godlike power then get a PC.

How is it going to be BC when it's using cartridges?

Dang didn't know it was using cartridges

 

[Tunez]

It's a tablet, that's the console?

 

[Insensitive]

Almost all the leaks were spot on. I gotta laugh @ anyone who thought they were getting a 2 teraflop mobile chipset.

I'll wait and cop it when it drops to $200 same thing I did for the Wii U and am currently doing for an Xbox one. (Gonna come up on a used one this Friday!!)

This thing looks both cool and lame at the same time...

I haven't purchased a home console since 2006. Everything else has been a portable. If they have some dope RPGs I might be tempted to buy one

Square, From Software and Atlus are supporting the Switch. Then you add the 1st party titles like Xenoblade, Fire Emblem and Pokémon in the mix, this thing is gonna be RPG heaven.
