Goodbye NX, hello Switch

[cmdrdredd]

I guess one thing going for the switch is android games should be really easy to port.

Does the switch have a touchscreen? That might be a sticking point for that

1.5 hours to go. You ready haters?

What exactly am I to be ready for? To solidify my decision to write Nintendo off as incompetent a little stronger?

Show bout to start, hope it's dubbed in English.

 

[purbeast0]

March 3rd for $299.

3/3/2017 $299

 

[JujuFish]

$300 is too much.

 

[poofyhairguy]

They finally built an online network thank god.

 

[purbeast0]

Region free too. Free online services then in the fall it becomes pay services.

 

[zerocool84]

$300 is too much.

Yup, it should have been $250

For the same price you can get a more powerful Xbox One or PS4

 

[purbeast0]

So it is a touch screen...

 

[purbeast0]

I'm already over that fucking snapping sound.

 

[gus6464]

USB type c and unless the translation is wrong replaceable batteries

 

[poofyhairguy]

The combined controller looks so stupid but each being a full remote is cool.

 

[gus6464]

They seem to have added quite a bit of tech into that tiny controller.

 

[purbeast0]

Man so far this looks so terrible. It's Wii all over again. They aren't showing any of these games in action because the games probably don't map anything close to 1:1 like those dumb videos they are showing make it out to be, just like the Wii.

The one two Switch game feels like a $20 bargain bin game. The boxing game looks kinda dumb too. Bring on Zelda.

It seemed like the kind of game they'd bundle with the system a la Wii Sports.

Saw some of the broadcast on https://www.twitch.tv/nintendo, and... those controllers look really, really small.

Haven't seen anything impressive yet though, it just seems like a slightly bigger 3DS, with more online & recording stuff built in, BUT, didn't nintendo sue to get vids off of youtube?
If so, I wonder if they are going to have their own "youtube" type of service?

They should because then nobody would get it otherwise

Wow Mario Odyssey looks sick. That may put me over the edge to get one. Finally looks like a Mario 64 sequel.

It definitely looks crazy because it has real world like locations. Definitely want to learn more about it

 

[purbeast0]

LOL ... Mario comes out "Holiday 2017".

Which means Summer 2019 at the earliest.

 

[Elixer]

BTW, lots of those games look like they have performance issues.
They are hitching frequently...and it isn't the stream, unless it is on their end.

Yeah it's very cool looking.
