I think it just comes down the convenience of it. If you do most of your gaming on Switch and own a ton of digital games for it, it's nice to be able to sort those into categories you can quickly access. Scrolling three spaces to your RPG folder beats scrolling forty spaces to specifically find...
For those who didn't pre-order a Switch, but are hoping to pick one up launch day: Best Buy has a selection of Switches set aside. Hop in line early enough and you'll be able to snag a system. And since Breath of the Wild is being released digitally on the eShop (I assume), you should only have...
Silly as it may sound, I'm glad pre-orders for the Switch are going through the roof. I wasn't part of the Wii U fanbase, so I don't know if anything similar happened there, what with the confusion with the Wii and the perception that it was just a different version of the Wii. It gives me hope...
Apologies for my delayed response. Somehow didn't notice you quoting me.
I don't think we'll see many exclusives for the newer systems.
Before Scorpio and PS4 Pro, we saw this sort of thing happen with the New 3DS. And how many exclusive titles were ever released for that system? Two so far as...
I'm not sure how much of a threat Scorpio and Pro will really pose to the Switch (heck, the PS4 Pro offers only a slight boost in processing power and the ability to play video media in 4K resolutions. Not games, but videos). Developers have taken some advantage of the increased power offered by...
As a heads up, Nintendo has confirmed that the retail version of Breath of the Wild will require three gigabytes of download space. Kind of disappointing. I was looking forward to a system that didn't require me to install a portion of a game that's supposed to run out of the box.
(It's near...
I pre-ordered mine in person at a Gamestop. They told me they only had five or so consoles left when I came in, and told me the next day that they were straight out, but it is Gamestop, so take it for what it's worth. I'm reasonably sure I wasn't being fed the...
How can it be sold out? I'm pretty sure they mentioned starting preorders later this month during their presentation. Heck, I've been checking my local Gamestop every so often to ask about Switch preorders, and I've always been told not yet.
They should have done so, because they didn't exactly give us much to work with. They spoke at the end about how they hoped they'd given enough for people to be excited about the Switch, but they really didn't--Breath of the Wild notwithstanding. There just isn't much to justify buying one at...
Nintendo created the 3DS, yes, and yes, it has dominated the handheld field, but the Wii U was little more than a drowning man in the sea of console gaming. Unlike most other Nintendo systems, it had few original first party titles to fall back on--and those that were released for the system...
It's working in terms of attention, but it's not working in any measurably profitable way since they haven't unveiled anything as simple as a pricetag.. You shouldn't roll everything out, because you need to savor the hype, but they should have offered something. While they play their little...
I'll never understand Nintendo's approach to marketing their systems.
"Hey, we've got this brand new system we're going to reveal, but we're not going to talk about it for three months."
