It's not even a contest. If nintendo seriously wants to win anyone back they're going to have to WOW thier audience with this direct, because right now its nothing but speculation and rumors, and half the stuff coming out for PS4, is BEFORE the Switch even launches, Meaning if the switch DOES get ports, it'll be long after everyone else has already played them, thus making them oboslete.
TDLR; Switch doomed before it even comes out
Brayden King
They confirmed a DQ Builders port for Switch?
Josiah Stewart
It was confirmed when it first came out as an "NX" title, same as sonic.
John Taylor
Since everyone already owns an xbox one/ps4 and a pc, why would they own a switch for multi plats?
Colton Hughes
PS4 can barely run DaS3, what makes people think a gimped Nvidia Shield can run it?
Christopher Harris
The switch will surely be an exclusive machine, or for multiplats I'd rather play at a friends with multiplayer as I can just pop the console into their dock, or buy a spare dock to keep at their house.
Aaron Martinez
Thats all and fine, and I agree, but what possible reason is there to go for one in 2017? Maybe 2018/2019 when it has a forseeable library of exclusives sure, but right now all people have been promised is:
>Another 3D mario world >A 3 year old game that was designed for Wii-U,. delayed, and now being launched to compensate for lost time >A copyright title of a pokemon game, no physical proof its even related to sun/moon and could very well be a mobile tier spinoff like shuffle >Another Mario kart. >Splatoon with hats and some new features
Give it time and i'm sure it could be worth it, but right now? Hell no.
Sebastian Gutierrez
>or buy a spare dock to keep at their house.
Pretty sure ninty is going to lock the dock serial number to its specific tablet.
Cooper Lopez
I know that Smash 4 basically released yesterday compared to how long they tend to take between each release; but I would be mad if the rumored Smash is only a port.
Bentley Barnes
>I'd be mad if the rumored smash is only a port
How can it be anything else? Are you that deluded to think nintendo is working on another smash 3 years after this? Sakurai is done, no more smash, or if there is one it'll be another 3+ years from now.
Jesus fuck the smash community is ungreatful.
Isaiah Clark
For me personally, in a direct comparison, there are two switch exclusive games I want, with two extra remasters in which I'm interested. The PS4 on the other hand has only two games that interest me, both of which I plan on getting on different systems because neither are exclusive.
So yeah, it makes more sense for me to get a switch over a PS4.
Aaron Davis
Nah, it'll be a port. The question is what's going to be added, changed, fixed, taken out, what have you. But make no mistake: Smash Switch is going to be a port of Smash 4.
Tyler Gray
All they have to do is use their fucking IPs in old school tight gameplay
STOP THINKING OF NEW WAYS TO PLAY AND RUIN YOUR GAMES NINTENDO YOU FUCKING IDIOTS
Carson Wright
Things that would make me buy a switch:
Practical: >Kid Icarus Uprising 2 >Donkey Kong Country R 3/Trilogy >A good Warioland game >A good platformer Kirby game ala 64 with no gimmicks
Wishful thinking: >A Decent metroid, either 2.5 D metroidvania or Prime 4 anything but more FF >Chibi Robo revival, the right way. >A Genius Sonority Pokemon game to rival Colosseum/XD >Good Sega/Capcom 3rd party IPs
Impossible: >Konami reviving Castlevania
Jose Nguyen
I really doubt that's the case. It's just a USB-C video output? The dock doesn't have anything in it?
Camden Ortiz
That's only like 5% of the PS4 lineup, it's just grinding my wallet into dust, Ys 8, God Wars, Atelier Firis, Nights of Azure 2, Blue Reflection so much weeb goodness
Wyatt Wilson
I only added the major hitters to make it fair. Otherwise the file would be too big.
Jonathan Adams
OP is a fucking retard.
Fucking hell, shit like Skyrim was ONLY a fucking video. It wasn't in development or even planned to be ported.
The fucking only confirmed title is Breath of the Wild and that doesn't even have a release date.
To top it off you thought it wasa good idea to pit it agains the leading console that has already been out for a while.
Blake Long
>Pokemon Stars >Rumoured, not confirmed
I mean technically yes but what do you expect to happen to Pokémon when Nintendo stops making separate handheld systems and only has the Switch? They just stop making Pokémon games?
Camden Flores
I am interested in buying 5 of the Switch games and 1 of the PS games you listed so there's that
William Rogers
Sakurai doesn't need to work in Smash forever, some might even say, myself included, that it is time that he sits down and lets someone else give it a try. >Jesus fuck the smash community is ungreatful. kek, I'm not even a competitive fag if that's what you're implying. But keep sucking the sweet sweet company's dick, I'm sure they acknowledge it and appreciate it.
This is my biggest concern. If it's just a port with the same balance, mechanics and physics, then the roster is already massive, so I'm curious to see how much they'll change, add or fix things, if at all. We'll have to wait and see.
Hudson Butler
The comparison isn't fair, you combined both PS4 and Vita games in that picture
Carson Scott
>not even announced >already has a better line up that the nogamestation4
How did they do it?
Dylan Cox
Then it gets called the rehash console, Nintendo can't win
Brayden Russell
There isnt a single vita game there guy. DRV3 is PS4.
Josiah Torres
If they confirm that the Switch will get mainline Pokémon and Monster Hunter games, it's smooth sailing.
Daniel Torres
>There isnt a single vita game there guy
Wyatt Gutierrez
Use your words then, point out the vita games you seem to think exist.
Matthew Parker
The PS4 also wasn't worth it when it first came out and it took a solid two years before it was worth getting.
Consoles are almost never worth getting when they first come out but people buy them anyway.
Lucas Cruz
I dont think Yakuza Zero, Nier, Gravity Rush 2, Dangle Rompers or Trails are any bigger hitters than those, as much as I fucking love them all
Juan Carter
By having a blind, shit-eating fanbase.
Joseph Jenkins
>Nier isnt a big hitter
Welcome to Sup Forums sir, may I see your platinum card?
Gabriel Johnson
>Better lineup than nogames >Literally has less games confirmed >Muh third party support As per usual, Nintendo is one step behind again and cucks like you are in the Nile
David Stewart
The only third party nintendo will recieve over PS4 is probably monster hunter. PRetty much everything else is multiplat.
>Square enix and final fantasy are still PS4 >Capcom titles like mega man are dead, so no more of that >Sega is literally only Sonic, other then several RTS games, which are PC and PS4 >Konami is dead, and MGS is all they want to work on, which has never debuted on a nintendo console outside a Snake eater port >Big name PC companies only ever port to sony/microsoft, so dont expect RDR2, System shock, Quake or DOOM on a nintendo platform >Even indies seem to favor PSN over Eshop due to its accessibility.
Ninty's gotta pull all the stops to stay afloat.
Jackson Cruz
>Konami is dead, and MGS is all they want to work on, which has never debuted on a nintendo console outside a Snake eater port
>Metal Gear NES >Metal Gear: Ghost Babel >Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
How embarrassing for you. I can forgive the NES and Gameboy ones but Gamecube?
Easton Garcia
You're forgetting that the Switch is first and foremost a handheld. The 3DS didn't lack for 3rd party support and has tons of exclusives and that's exactly what Nintendo is banking on.
Lucas Lewis
Ehh, I can't blame him. From that list only Ghost Babel is good, and technically it isn't a mainline MGS.
Elijah Lee
>he thinks it's supposed to replace the 3DS m8 they've said already this is their home console, I love Nintendo too but don't lie about this to make you feel better. They don't have some top secret home console that they've been developing to take over for the Wii U, the switch is it.
Alexander Rivera
While I think you could have presented your argument better, I completely agree. The only reason I bought my PS4 was because Nintendo let me. They had my brand loyalty for my entire life excluding the past year, and I eventually got tired waiting for them to step up, and went to the company that has for generations. I love my PS4. The line up I am going to be buying between now and April is more than Nintendo was able to offer me for years owning the Wii U. I hope they let their portable division call more of the shots with the Switch, because the 3DS was comparably managed incredibly well compared to that of the home console division. On that line up the only thing I'm interested in buying is BotW and Pokémon, and I'm not going to buy a console for 2 games. Don't misunderstand, unlike a lot of anons, I do want Nintendo to succeed. At this point I just question whether or not they can get out of their own way to allow themselves to.
Nathaniel Williams
I know what they've said and it's just to cover their asses if the Switch was to fail because they can't afford for people to lose faith in their handheld division. The 3DS is the only thing keeping them afloat currently so of course they're going to make sure all their bases are covered.
If the Switch sells there's absolutely no reason for them to develop another handheld. This is their endgame, to merge their home console and handheld branches into one. It's the future of gaming, all consoles will be like this eventually.
Ethan Phillips
W-where's the MELEE?
Luis Perez
Virtual console =/= retail release
Chase Sullivan
Being reworked to rebalance Fox, Falco and the low-tiers, and remove the glitches.
Expect a 2018 release.
Adam Morales
> Minecraft, owned by MS > DS trilogy > 5mash > Pokemon Stars > Mario Kart Nobody has rumoured about these coming in 17
Adrian Jenkins
>remove the glitches Not buying it if that's the case
Julian Morales
I dunno about everyone else here, but I can not forgive he wii-U, and my experience with it was outright horrible, and upsetting.
>Super excited for wii-U with Zelda U >Zelda u gets delayed but HW still comes oput on time >Get HW, love the game, think wii-U is the coolest thing ever >INTRODUCING HYRULE WARRIORS LEGENDS >Oh.. okay.. well at least we're getting all that in a season pass- >Season pass never comes out >finally cave in and buy HWL >its terrible beyond words, downscaled, looks like a DS game, and plays attrociously >Wooly world comes out >Huge fan of yoshi, think of buying it but think maybe i should hold off >Fuck it, i want it >Buy it >Not even a month later >WOOLY WORLD FOR 3DS
I'm done of b eing used like a whore, Nintendo can fuck themselves
Colton Wilson
There's games from both lists that I would like to play
Jack Powell
Wut? Zelda alone is better than the entire nogamestation4 library.
Ryder Scott
Wait why does it matter if a port came out for 3DS? If you already have the game on Wii U just don't buy it.
William Russell
its the principle
They added a shit ton more content that became EXCLUSIVE to the 3DS despite the fact we wii-u owners were promised a season pass for that content on wii-U
Tehy never follwoed through, its even still on the fucking official site.
"Coming soon"
My ass, they've already moved on to other projects and left it where it is, lying cheating bastards
Jaxson Rivera
...
Gabriel Sanchez
not builders, just X and XI
which translates into no western release...
Josiah Perez
>still believing shitty leaks
Colton Edwards
>why would they own a switch for multi plats? Being able to take the game on the go? If I can play something while taking a shit break at work, that brings value to me.
Jason Peterson
>while taking a shit break at work >Gaming at work
That just proves you're a lazy/bad employee. You don't break, you work until your shift is over. Fucking slacker.
Jack Long
Not him, but that's why I waited years to buy my PS4. I'm glad I did, because I've been using it nearly non-stop since I did. Maybe I wait years to buy a Switch. I'm not vowing not to ever, but right now? That line up isn't enough to get me in store wanting one on day one.
Alexander Williams
Fuck off we roll like that in yurop.
Jayden Jackson
>shift
shouldn't you be cleaning the grease traps instead of shitposting Jamal?
Logan Harris
Legends has more unique campaigns and new game mechanics.
The fact that they're locked in a platform that just can't run the game even with the enhanced version, is a kick to the balls.
Kayden Price
>this much delusion In 3 years we'll have a 3ds successor
Mason Sanders
>We roll like that in yurop
Yeah no, French here and if you slack, you get the whack. Just because you have a shitty boss with terrible work ethic rules, doesn't mean you get to do any less. Strive to be best and outshine others you mook.
I bet you didnt even pass the BAC
Logan Turner
Actually it just may prove that I live in a state with labor laws that guarantee me two 15 minute breaks (which I do) that I like to lump together. How I use that time is no reflection on my quality as an employee. Thanks for projecting though.
Andrew Davis
What software do you use to scale images THAT fucking poorly? Retard
Adam Campbell
There's only 1 dude over me, doubt he is gonna concede me his position.
Blake Morris
Boss, stop posting and go back to work.
Noah Hernandez
Agreed, also I'm certain if anyone brought a switch to work they would be bullied and ridiculed for being a fucking manchild
Noah Sanders
>switch doomed You are underestimating fanboyism too much friend
Jaxon Smith
France has some of the most worker friendly employment laws on the planet, it is virtually impossible to fire someone once they have been hired without egregious behaviour on the part of the employee. You don't get fired in France just for slacking.
Carson Taylor
State mandated 2x 15 minute breaks plus lunch for full days yo. Pretty much because companies got people to think like you do and to somehow take pride in being taken advantage of. Those breaks and the transit to work are the whole reason I own portables.
Go bitch at the people that take 4 smoke breaks a day like it's a god-given right.
Easton Wright
Don't say that. Then it's just going to be MH3U all over again. A console that plays portable games, and makes them "prettier" for TV. IMO it's much more competitive as a product to be a home console that plays home console games, and offers mobility to take the home console experience out of the home. Home.
Logan Hughes
It's not a Direct, shitposter.
Mason Allen
silly user, Nintendo does the OPPOSITE of the logical thing
Bentley Gutierrez
Legends plays just fine, you unemployed buttmunch.
Austin Reyes
>if anyone brought a switch to work they would be bullied and ridiculed for being a fucking manchild Maybe its time you get a job where your coworkers aren't high schoolers, and are actually adults who don't give a shit about what your hobby are or how you spend your free time.
Liam Murphy
Good for you, the American philosophy that you are your employer's bitch and you have no rights while you're on the clock is utterly fucked and called out for the bullshit that it is by the rest of the world
Hudson Carter
You ommited at least 30 PS4 games. If you are going to include everything (multiplats and ports) at least do it well.
From January alone you're missing 5 games.
Julian Collins
I don't own any consoles, but I were to choose, only Yakuza, P5 and RDR2 look appealing.
That nintendo line up makes it look like a toy.
Luis Johnson
...
Blake Moore
two days, and we will see
Ryder Bennett
Those first 2 rows for PS4 are all for march and before aren't they.
Why do people hate the middle of the year.
Dominic Hall
Yeah with all it's first party devs working on 1 console they should be able to get titles. Shame they don't have any action games though, hopefully they get Viewtiful Joe or Bayonetta on it.
William Clark
>comparing a console that has yet to be released to a console that has been on the market for over 2 years
Nice one OP. Let's actually make this a fair comparison and see what titles PS4 had at launch. Oh...oh dear...I can see why you didn't try to make a fair comparison now
Mason Robinson
>Why do people hate the middle of the year. I'm getting Stormblood in June. I'll be good for the summer.
Aiden Ramirez
>Being this mad
It was never about launch you tardis, it's about whats coming out in 2017 period. But nice autism.
Lincoln Green
Completely subjective reason. Dragonquest Builders and Pokken didn't sell THAT well at all for example.
Gravityrush2, yakuza0, Berseria, danganrompa and that super weeb game right next to it won't even get to 200k sales, while others on the list will go well beyong 1 million. Your standards are all over the place
Samuel James
Lmao how did this sold more than 20 copies?
Isaac Roberts
>b..b...but that doesn't count!
Saw this response coming from a mile away
Julian Moore
What, you not being able to read? I agree. We all saw that coming since you were born.
Mason Sanchez
>comparing a console that has yet to be released to a console that has been on the market for over 2 years I thought he was just comparing options a consumer would have available if they walked in a store on March 17th, and wanted to buy a console.
Austin Wilson
This. You're absolutely retarded.
Elijah King
No everything is console wars here
Nicholas Ross
If it's the "prease understand" game again I'm fucking done with Nintendo. It upsets me how they fucked up the Wii U with that shit. But hey, here's the thing: the Switch is a hybrid, so there won't be a 3DS successor to suck the air from the Switch, right? Well, the braindead Japanes shitholes apparently want a 3DS-successor. I want the Switch to succeed and be this unique, good console, but I am starting to lose any hope.
Thomas Adams
This is a really good post.
Robert Hill
How to make the Switch succeed: >Release good games. >Good hardware >Old IPs brought back in a major way with some sort of tie-in. (e.g F-Zero GP Legend reaired on TV when a new F-Zero game is released) >Game and Watch brought back in a new way >No censorship/no memes in game translations >2 or 3 new IPs. >Release old games people want on the E-Shop >Don't scare away 3rd parties, actually make them do something >Get Square and Capcom to make games like they did in the 90's and keep them close (Chrono Trigger, Megaman reboot) >release Smash at the end of the console's lifespan Easy.
Jackson Parker
>All they have to do is use their fucking IPs in old school tight gameplay
They won't and this pisses me off more than anything. Nintendo has franchises that cover nearly every genre imaginable yet chose to let them rot. Even better, there are people hoping for more Wii U and even 3DS ports now.
Andrew Gonzalez
i guess every single console was doomed because every console before it had more games
Ian Martinez
I would shit my pants if Nintendo released an Earthbound remake. Fourside and Moonside would be amazing in 3D
Benjamin Ward
Any rumored games missing or is this really it?
