They have promised us this before, and then immediately spat in our faces. I won't believe a thing EA or Ubisoft say unless I see real games. I want Dragon Age, not FIFA. And even if FIFA comes, I want real FIFA, not bobble head FIFA like they released on the Wii. It had better not be Motion...

That is the absolute minimum I expected. I mean, making a system less powerful than the XBO would have been a real mistake. However, this makes the possibility that it will be obsolete if the Scorpio and PS4 Pro take off very real.

Well there you go; change isn't always good. For example, if they're going to charge for Nintendo Network, it had better be top-notch. That's definitely a change, and it's not necessarily for the best. Because like @BoxTar said in a different thread, when you played Smash online and it didn't...

Right. But sometimes people are objectively wrong about things, and they defend their positions nevertheless. And that's fine, if you want to be wrong, be wrong, but that doesn't change anything. As I told my friend the other day, I'm a genuine Nintendo fan. I've been playing Nintendo since I...

I really wish you'd stop knowingly putting out pseudofacts with the intention to deceive or otherwise misinform us. We should all be smart enough to double check sources, but sometimes we take things at face value here on these message boards, and it's really disappointing when you say stuff...

I disagree. There was a LOT to get excited about. We just don't know when to be excited.

That we know? They didn't really give any dates. They showed a lot of snippets during that last bit, but no dates, so who knows. But they really should have released more dates, for sure.

Tonight will define for me whether I make it 7 for 7 in terms on Nintendo consoles. The Wii U disappointed me not because of the hardware (it was adequate) or the games (what little we did get was phenomenal). The Wii U disappointed because of how Nintendo handled the Wii U. It's not that I...

That's more than the Wii. The three local stores in the city I lived in at the time got 3, 2, and 3 Wiis when it launched. I knew the manager at one, so I got one of the 3. But can you imagine? In a city of about 50,000 people, there were EIGHT Wiis. Absurd. Maybe with the Wii the...

I actually didn't know how much I didn't like the Metroid Prime control scheme until I played the remade Wii versions of the game. I think the problem was that the 2nd analog stick on the GCN controller (the C-stick) wasn't really a true analog stick. I think that's one part of the GCN...

I get that. I know this is the one that's practically guaranteed to disappoint me. I've accepted that we're getting some ports, but I'm hoping at least that the ports will be few and new games will be more. Yep. I don't think those games should have been made. Don't get me wrong, I loved WWHD...

I want ZERO ports. I want all new ideas, made from scratch, with the Switch in mind. I get that a lot of really great games went unplayed by a lot of people because they didn't own Wii Us, right? So million of potential customers didn't play MK8 or Splatoon. And that's a shame, because they're...

I know this is an old post, but no, the PS3 and X360 both were ceased early last year. It will have been around a year by now since the PS3 stopped being produced. What does 'always online' have to do with the Switch? Does the Switch not have online? The Wii and Wii U were "always online" so...

That logic does not follow. Revealing a console does not lead to bad launch. Bad launch was caused by other things, not by revealing early. This doesn't make sense either. If they're not going for the same market, then why have the same games? No, they're going for the exact same market, and...

The latest is that the Switch isn't going from 1080 to 720 on the tablet, but WQHD to 1080. Now, what this means is that no one actually knows what's going on, with different news reports coming from different places. It's insanity how much rumor-mongering there is right now! And "Nintendo"...

You mean from TV to handheld? Yeah, that's an incredible drop in power. It seems almost implausible. Just thinking about the drop in quality, not just in the visuals, but in the actual performance makes the entire idea of on the go gaming look like it isn't going to work. And in this case, I'll...

I think they're definitely talking about it. I'm sure they are. I'll be honest, I hope most developers treat it as a home console. I know this is selfish, but since I couldn't give less craps about the portability of the Switch, (I'll probably hardly ever take my full console games with me to...

So basically, whether or not the specs are actually correct (in terms of what @ the8thark said, end-user power vs pre-release dev kits), it does look like developers are going to have to make a choice: make a console game or a handheld game. Let's assume that the Switch end-user product is...

@Jamie :http://www.meristation.com/reportaje/entrevista-masuda-y-ohmori-padres-de-pokemon-nintendo-switch-es-el-futuro/2163540 -- I'll translate, but basically, Game Freak CEO Masuda has just said they're going to "wait and see" how the Switch does before talking about Pokemon. MeriStation...

This is assuming it's actually just a handheld. My entire thought has always been, this is a console that has a small screen that can be taken with you. I expected a full console, with full console power, that you just happen to be able to take with you. If this is not, then this thing is...

@Lozjam I hear what you're saying, I really do, but all I can think of when you say "Third parties have pledged support," is how 3rd parties pledged support for the Wii U, and that didn't work out, and how they pledged support for the Wii—which did end up being support, but we got really...

"Source" claims Switch considerably less powerful than PS4, uses different architecture. Now as you know, I'm the King of "If Nintendo Didn't Say It, I Don't Believe It." But assuming this is true, then we're back to square one. Now, I'll be the first to admit I'm not a programer, and I know...

To me the best controller is the Wii U Pro. That's the best controller ever, IMO. What I like most about it is that the analog sticks are on the same level and are up higher on the controller. The DualShock is okay, but I don't like that the analog sticks are at the bottom end of the controller...

Exaggeration to make a point. No, I didn't hold it in front of me, literally, but motion controls with the Wii controller were really good (as far as pointing, aiming) in comparison to the GamePad. Simply because you were actually pointing with a pointer, not a flat object in 3D space. But no...

I am actually not against motion controls. When properly implemented, the Wii controlled better than the X360 or the PS3. In fact, the biggest problem I had with the Wii is that true motion controls were not used after the Wii. In FPS games, Wii point-and-shoot controls were vastly superior to...

Uh oh ... either someone misspoke or the Switch may have motion controls... http://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-could-be-a-game-changer-may-have-m/1100-6445671/ Eh ...

I can respect that. As much of p.o.s. of a console that the 360 was, it had a great interface, and Xbox Live was phenomenal. I've always thought the Nintendo Network should mirror what Live was (and, I expect, still is). That's the one thing that Nintendo really lacked: a dedicated online system...

Is there anything that would give you cause to hold of a purchase of a PS4 game in lieu of getting it on the Switch? Or are you pretty much sold on getting those games only on your PS4 (or XBO, if applicable)?

Capcom is one of those companies that I love because of what they've done in the past, but in the last decade or so (aside from Monster Hunter), they've really dropped the ball, in my eyes.

Well that's the thing. I think people eat up things like "Enhanced Edition" or "Director's Cut" or "Collector's Edition" and stuff like that. But that's something that not only Nintendo, but the publishers, need to think about. Because as I mentioned before, many many many people own PS4s. I...

Generations don't last a set amount of time. They end when the market is ready to move on and when the technology is available to make significant upgrades to the hardware. It just so happened that last gen was a mixture of the technology being good enough to last a long time, and the market...

Except investors, since Nintendo's stock fell immediately after the reveal. Not that means the thing is going to flop, but it shows not everyone is confident on the thing's success. Though I have to say saying people are excited to play these games on the go and actually playing them on the go...

The issue has always been and will continue to be that most people that wanted a PS4 already have one. I don't know the current numbers right now, but I'm assuming it's around 60 million units sold for the PS4. People who wanted one already have one. Maybe a few million are holding off to get a...

I wanted to wait a few days to actually say anything about the thing, because at first I was extremely excited, then extremely disappointed once I thought about it, and now I'm in a good, balanced place. First, two quick notes. • First, I think it's extremely important to note that Nintendo...
