The Zelda reveal saved it
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

We all knew zelda was going to be a launch title???

how does something everyone knew already save it?

Splatoon 2, Mario and Zelda are cool. But like...holy fuck that 3rd party "support" was hilarious

What were you expecting from third party support that wasn't shown?

literally any game that anyone cared about

Shin Megami Tensei? Cool. Has literally no wide spread market appeal. Like...even yooka laylee?

Maybe a game that isn't 5 years old. Maybe a game that actually looks and plays modern.

The biggest games of this year (Red Dead, Mass Effect, star wars) are NOT coming to this thing. EA is making just fifa, it seems?

Like, couldn't bethesda have even done fallout 4 instead of skyrim?

1-2-Switch
Just Dance 2017
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Skylanders: Imaginators
Super Bomberman R

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes in April

Launch line-up is pretty lacklustre overall, hopefully more is announced

bomberman/zelda is enough for me tbh

mk8 in april is fine

my Wii U primarily gets used for party games as is so like Mk8/bomberman and a mario party-esque game will be fine

idk i'd expect this to be another case of nintendo releasing 3-4 outstanding first party titles per year with like a sprinkling of party games and decent 3rd party titles throughout

that's all i really want. i dont need a game per month or anything like that. if i buy one game every 2-3 months for my nintendo console, im happy.

I'm not even considering buying this unless there's a Xenoblade game.
I'm pretty much done with every franchise I used to care about at this point.

I hate to say it, but if you told me that was a parody I'd believe you.

I mean, I was like NO WAY. And then I watched it. And am not super impressed.

Not a good post-reveal day for the Switch. Reconsidering getting one. Might just get Breath of the Wild on the Wii U and call it a good run for Nintendo.
- Only 5 launch titles
- One launch title is a Wii Sports style hardware demo (sold separately)
- Two launch titles are ports from older generation
- One is a Bomberman remake that looks like it belongs on Gamecube (dat framerate drop though)
- Extra controllers are $80 each
- Grips for the joycon are $30 (bringing the price for a full second controller to $110)
- Paid online service will get you one free NES/SNES a month...that then expires at the end of that month
- Voice chat requires a smartphone app to use
- Virtual console purchases don't carry over
- Internal storage is only 32GB (and Zelda alone will eat up over half of that)
- No console/software bundles
- Third party launch support is "EA will release FIFA" and "Bethesda will release a 5 year old game in about a year"

I mean, I have a Wii U for Xenoblade Chronicles X. I loved it, but I didn't buy the system myself.

I don't think I'd spend money on another Nintendo system just for one game. It'd be a very tough sell and nothing else Nintendo is doing appeals to me.

Not even FIFA 18

"Fifa". Probably a shitty switch only port. Maybe not yearly

And not even skyrim special edition. Just old ass skyrim.

Idk what youre saying about post day. The event last night was a trainwreck

There's no way they're going to hold to that with what the playstation and xbox are offering in competition to that.

But yeah, this is really not looking that exciting, though I don't think I would ever bother with online gaming on a console like this anyway.

32gb of storage is pathetic too. I'm expecting this to get a price cut within the first year. Maybe I will THINK about it then.

Are you sure the grips aren't included in the 80? the box art showed them if I remember correctly.

ah, I realize what you meant now. I don't see the need in ever owning a 2nd one of those I guess? why not just get a pro controller if thats what you wanted.
