Nintendo Switch Presentation: January 12th, 2017 at 11PM EST

[Clark Wayne]

You a fool if you buy this day one.

Wouldn't even pay $250 for it.

Have to be $199 at most to even consider buying this shyt.

 

[thaKEAF]

That was extremely underwhelming and I've been ready to give them my money since it was first announced.

Way too much time focused on the gimmick controllers and not enough on games. Nothing but Zelda at launch and no games down the pipeline but Mario. MK8 and Smash ports are almost a given but been there done that.

 

[Dre Space Age]

First Day cop. I'm playing Zelda at lunch at work and Street Fighter 2 during break.

They had Impa from original NES speaking.

Thats how you know this shyt gonna be epic.

If I only was able to play one game this year...

Breath of the Wild Baby.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Zelda makes this an instant cop lol

shyt looks too good

How much is the REAL controller though?

$300 is the wrong price.

And How do you not announce a launch lineup?

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

I'm interested in the game montage they showed. Street Fighter with 3 people on the screen?

Street Fighter Alpha 3 had 3 players at the same time.

 

[Marci-Senpai]

jesus christ that zelda trailer was fukking intense

 

[daze23]

So let me get this straight...no mario and no splatoon at launch. I highly doubt they are gonna release mario kart at launch either. We know there's no smash at launch as well. So what the fukk are we getting besides the system and zelda?

Skyrim

 

[StatUS]

nikka's bought the ps4 with no launch titles but gonna pass on a zelda launch

People here don't remember that it was just Knack and Killzone then 2K, Duty, FIFA, Battlefield, and AC as multi plats. Nothing like Zelda at all.

 

[MewTwo]

Also March is a strange release date for the console. Why not release it close to the holiday season when better games are ready?

 

[Mr. Togo]

pay $300+ for a Zelda game

 

[CarltonJunior]

Yeah that was a bit underwhelming. I'm still getting the console though. Maybe later when better games come along.

No pokemon?
They didn't even talk about Mario Kart 8
Or Smash Bros.
No Metroid?
Earthbound?

Xenoblade took Earthbound's lane as the Nintendo RPG (outside of Pokemon)

The fact that Mario Kart was in the presentation earlier and the fact that the Switch has motion controls makes me think that it's gonna be backwards compatible

Also March is a strange release date for the console. Why not release it close to the holiday season when better games are ready?

Because the competitors consoles will be marked down and have better games for them. You release the Switch now and get the sales from that throughout the year, and either mark it down to market price as your AAA games start releasing (Mario), bundle it or whatever the case may be.

 

[Sghost597]

And you know they gonna fukk that up

What haven't they fukked up since N64?

 

[Mr. Riddim]

If Zelda also dropping on the WiiU, there is absolutely no reason to cop the Switch at launch.

Game line up is laughably weak aside from Mario: Liberty City.

Switch needs Rocket League.

 

[Black Andy Dwyer]

Did you miss the Nintendo 64 launch? They had like 2 games for months.

I was like 8 when that launched so Mario 64 was enough to keep my attention until they had more games

But as a grown man, I need more than one game with my console

 

[The Mad Titan]

I'm interested in the game montage they showed. Street Fighter with 3 people on the screen?

Same here

Sf2 HDR with 3 characters, a bomber man game and another title caught my eye.
