I ended up preordering the system and Zelda. :manny:

It's in stock everywhere. That's not a good sign. Nobody wants this shyt. Shameful outing last night for Nintendo. If they woulda released Mario Kart and Mario it would be game over though. But no, just Zelda.

fukk the cost of the accessories too. I'll probably get the pro controller, but goddamn is it expensive.

we bout to get an influx of Nintendoom articles...:picard:

despite the fact Nintendo will most likely still be here and they'll be another console and/or handheld after 4-6 years..and the cycle will begin again.
Its only so long a company can underperform breh. They was saved by the Wii and 3DS...but that shyt cant last forever nor will it cover too many mistakes.

Yeah but there's a difference between being still here and actually being relevant. Nintendo is teetering very close to irrelevancy in the home console market. The Wii U will likely not pass 15 million sold in 4 years. That's a 3.75 million sold a year or less average. Sony does twice those numbers in just Q4 of a single year.

fukk all you pixel patrol ass nikkas. So glad Nintendo didn't listen to y'all when creating the system.

That being said, system is a bit overpriced, given power under the hood.

Go ahead and pay another $300 for another Wii U when the one you got works perfectly fine.:martin:

I woke up hoping this wasn't real and it was just a bad dream. I cannot believe the shyt I'm seeing here.

Its surreal.

It's like Nintendo didn't learn ANYTHING. I can't believe they are going to have paid online. They probably aren't going to give people games and weekly discounts with it either.

Zelda still coming for the Wii U, I see no reason to not just cop that and leave this Switch alone.

:whew: If that's the case, thank God. I might not get a switch until the end of the year when some more games drop after hearing that. I was on the way to work actually heated thinking I'm going to have to cop this system way too early just to play one game.

It's one thing to charge for online play but have they lost their mind?? How much is the online going to be?? Why charge but give paltry incentives(Free game per month for a month), having party chat via phone app etc. It's mind boggling stupid. People saying "Oh but there's Zelda at launch!" like wow there's Zelda at launch. I can get it for the Wii U and literally have the almost exact same experience. What's the difference?? Play anywhere? That's not worth $300 especially with the hardware being virtually the same. This is the most disappointed I have ever been in an Nintendo product. I hope they slash the price $50 and start dropping lots of content because right now I'm not interested at all.

I been warning you about Nintendo for a while now but you wouldn't listen. Nintendo makes exceptional games but crap systems overall and it's been the case for like 20+ years now. The Switch will likely be another trash system but I've got some cash back to burn so why not. It's guaranteed to have several games I want.

relevant to who?

Before the Wii, for better or worse, they were selling less of each home console..yet they were still in the game.

Nintendo never really chased relevancy.

Nintendo will always sell, bottom line.

I'm not as thrilled after the reveal, but I still have it preordered...but I am looking more forward to a 3DS successor at this time.
