    Nintendo Switch News and Discussion Thread

    Wolfenstein 2 has not released yet bro. Also, I have a feeling DOOM will do well on the console. Because, it means that you can take DOOM on the go. That has a ton of leeway within it right away, as seen with current game sales of other third party games.

    I don't think early preorders necessarily say whether a system will ultimately be successful. I think early preorders will be good regardless. However, it all has to do with how Nintendo capitalizes of momentum that they have: with a steady release of games. Which Nintendo seemingly may have...

    Online is sold out, even when GameStop get more online and more in-store preorders, it sold out in less than 4 hours again. Physical stores, are much harder to track because they are so separate from Online Stores, and there are so many of them(it is pretty much impossible to call every...

    It's not because Nintendo's success that the thing is sold out, it's do to low stock. Would you care to find a place, at all that has a preorder with a Nintendo Switch, releasing on March 3rd online? You are not going to find any. They are sold out. I spent 5 hours last night with a friend...

    All online orders have been sold out since this morning. Of course local game stops haven't been taking pre orders, as they are usually a week late. But Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop online has already sold out. They are no longer taking any preorders.

    They haven't really lost any early adopters, considering that the system is sold out at every single retailer so far. They have no fear of that. Now, what they do need to worry about, is keeping that flow of people coming in after launch, and through the holiday season.

    The presentation was terrible, boring, and sloppy. The translator was absolutely awful. And it was a very dull and boring presentation. The whole pacing was sooooo slow, and they spent way too much time on things... But damn the games they did show were so good. Xenoblade 2 looks amazing. I...

    I said for better and for worse. And let me raise you something. "Or it will just be the 3DS again. We know how Nintendo loves to put quality games on a system, for the sake of sales." We know what the Switch is, and something like the Switch is truly innovativ, unlike the Wii U. It changes...

    Well.... Switchmas is finally upon us. In a little more than 9 hours, everything will change. For the better or for the worse, this event will detail the future of Nintendo. It will either leave gamers singing high praise, or leave them heavily critical. From now on, we are seeing a different...

    I just love the "Even skeptics are welcome" quip they have. This really is the start of what I think is a more confident, slightly more edgy, and more witty Nintendo when it comes to marketing, and that's a very good thing in my opinion.

    The most successful Nintendo home console of all time used this same tactic. The Wii used the exact strategy and it sold quite well. The demand for consoles, will increase demand in itself. It will sell the Switch a lot more than if it overstocks. The Wii U had a problem of it being way...

    Probably not. Almost no retailer does pre order bonuses for system launches. They only do that for games.

    I hear many reports that GameStop will only have 10-15 Switches per store...... So I will say this: Those in NA. If you want a Switch, you had better preorder on Friday now. This absolutely sucks, and it's terrible that Nintendo is playing this game. Otherwise you will have to wait to get the...

    Kimishima is apparently going to be presenting the Switch event. This will be the very first time we will see him outside of interviews. It's very interesting. Also, the age rating for the games shown will be E-M, which isn't surprising at all.

    Nintendo will be putting on a Treehouse live presentation on the day after the Switch reveal.... Which means we will get to see the Switch, BotW, Mario Switch, the Wii U ports, and whatever else Nintendo has in store for us, all live and with extended gameplay. That's pretty exciting...

    Now this, you almost 100% won't get. However, so long as new games release on the system, unlike the Wii U, then I think you should be more or less satisfied. I understand why. However, it looks like Splatoon is almost entirely new. Mariokart 8 and Smash had such a long development cycle, and...

    Actually, on the contrary. According to the NCC patents that happened... We know for a fact that the Switch actually has fantastic Wifi connectivity, with this so much that it outmatches the PS4 and XBox One, and it matches the PS4 Pro.

    Yes, however, the DSi was still going strong when the 3DS released as well. Even accounting the PS3, then we must also account for the Wii and DS during that time as well: Let's do some math now, with that, the PS3 sold 33 million during that timeframe.... Let's throw in PSP as well, which sold...

    What? Since the release of the 3DS, Nintendo has sold 74 million consoles, 61 million for the 3DS, and 13 million for the Wii U, versus 14 Million and 47 million for the Vita and PS4. But this has nothing to do with the Switch. Like I said, Switch has garnered way more interest in Nintendo in...

    However, the fact that Nintendo has much higher brand power at the current moment. Currently the PS4 is still behind the 3DS. Nintendo still has a bigger mindshare regarding this current market. I have no doubt that the 3DS will eventually be overtaken by the PS4 as Nintendo gradually shifts...

    It is working though.... With the Wii U, they made a terrible mistake by revealing the console way too early. This led to, as we know, a very terrible launch. Now Nintendo is doing the exact opposite. Now, this may be a little bit too much, considering the console is releasing in March, and...

    Actually, upon doing more research. It's only the GPU that takes a hit from being undocked. Which is strange to say the least. However, one of the biggest things that GPU does over CPU is nearly always resolution. Calculating the amount of power for each pixel, from 1080p to 720p. That's...

    Technically, the Dock is confirmed to overclock the switch console, due to the exact patents of the switch. Much like how Laptops run better when they are plugged in.

    I think it will be just shy in terms of third party games. So yeah, I agree. Multi platform Games will likely mostly run at 720p, which is still hella impressive on a handheld. However, first party games will see much more quality regarding graphical fidelity, perhaps even running and looking...

    The PS4 and XBO actually have chipsets that were meant for portable tablets. Like... The PS4, and XBO really aren't that powerful in the grand scheme of things. Even when they were released, they were vastly under powered compared to the technology at the time. So having a portable variant 4...

    If this rumor is true, then the exact specs the article states, using Nvidia's hardware then the Switch is at just around XBO's power.

    Then use the Switch Pro controller. Unlike the Wii U, the Pro Controller will be an option for every game that comes out for the system.

    The Switch controller isn't bulky at all. It is way more slim and sleek than the Gamepad, plus, the main control scheme for the game is a regular controller as well. Even on the go, using the Pro Controller or the Switch Grip is 100% feasible. So unlike the Wii U, a non super bulky controller is...

    I could not agree with you more, and I think that forced motion controls will be a thing of the past. This is because most games on the Switch must be made to be taken on the go. With motion controls, this is not ideal. Which is why forced motion will stay minimal, unless it is absolutely...

    Motion controls in a system, doesn't mean that the games will be bad. Nor do they have to use them.

    Just a little thing about American culture.... We don't pay any attention in regards to taxes with the price. So like, when an object is $250, almost no Americans actually think about it as, "oh so this is going to be $270". It's also vastly different depending on which town you live in.
