No. I want the hybrid.

I only dont want the online payment faggotry.

But how would I play 1 2 Switch?

Would still have paid online and require you to use a smartphone app to talk to people.

It's cheaper for a reason. It's not the ideal system for motion games, even though the Switch Pro controller does have motion controls.

You can't really fix that since that's Nintendo's vision for their platform's online service already.

Nintendo arent rolling this shit out until the end of the year so I hope that the backlash actually makes them reconsider.

Doubt it though.

You could still buy joycons

If they reveal this version during the holidays when the Switch has more serious games being released for it already it'd be ideal. It's their fault for revealing it too soon anyways.

It'll just be an underperforming Wii U at that point.

This thing has nothing going for it except for its stupid gimmicks.

That's far too cheap for what Nintendo seems to think the Switch and its various accessories are worth. Also, where would a 500GB HDD even be placed?

No.
Less expensive means less quality.
So it'll just be a poorfag's toy
>definitively not mocking those cucks arguing shit because they paid for an overpriced product, more than once.

It's an external hard drive.

The thing that makes the Switch expensive is the Joy-Con controllers and its accessories. Without them the price should go down, not up.

>He thinks the Joy-Con controllers and its dock is (((better quality)))

Unfortunately the backlash seems to be limited to Sup Forums and probably some other gaming sites. Most people are just excited about Mario, Zelda, and Skyrim.

>add 500gb hardrive
>Gets $50 cheaper

Epic

>sorry my implying is all messed up
But you can choose the color.

single platter hard drives are damn cheap to make. That's why consoles feature them.

People wanted the same thing when the Wii U came out (console only, Pro controller, no screen accessory)
I forgot what happened

>expecting Nintendo to essentially knock $170 worth of value off the price of a new console

Nigga u dumb

If they're so cheap why isn't there one in the last TWO Nintendo consoles?

Because Nintendo's higher ups are dinosaur grandpas and they expect their fans to buy physical copies of their games instead, plus their online/cloud data services were never good so they want to discourage players from using it. It only makes sense, user.

Physical > digital

Why do you ask me? Ask Nintendo!

Of course. I'm just explaining why they don't feel the need to include a lot of storage capacity in their consoles. Their practice mostly hurts third-party and especially indie devs since those entities are usually not capable of publishing physical copies of their games.

a 2tb hdd cost like 90 canadian dollars

yeah, but paying for online is bullshit

Of course. That's why it has to be half the price of an Xbox One and has more first-party exclusives to justify it. If a miracle happen, they might scrap off this paid online bullshit since they're STILL using friend codes after all. Fucking dinosaur grandpas who have completely lost touch with reality.

No I like the hybrid console idea.

Not much of a fan of all the other gimmicks. All these mini games look really fucking dumb and people probably are more unlikely to give the switch a change if the first footage they see is of the dumb 1, 2 switch -game.

It doesn't matter how much the West complains, as our Gaijin Voices fall upon Xenophobic Ears. We just need to hope Japan complains and all will be well.

The only backlash here is Switch sales numbers going into the fall

yeah but nintendo wont do that

day one buy

$300 + $80 pro controller = $380
$250 + $80 joy con colors that I want = $330

The hybrid nature of it doesn't make it worth $300. They can still have the joycons minus the shitty HD rumble shit. Problem solved.

They are still overcharging for those joycons anyways. I can tell you from a hardware and development perspective they aren't even close to worth that price. And for all the complaints "b b but, the R&D" they will EASILY make that up in raw console sales... even at $250. No one but they're own greedy asses makes them charge for that.

Oh and people need to stop feeling sorry for companies and their "precious costs". Fight for better prices and actual fucking features you fucking imbeciles. It's not that hard to actual play this game. That's why you filthy consumers always lose. Companies cry and wine... well hell you do the wining for them nowadays, and then run off with all your fucking money scot-free.

i'll buy the version with no paid online

No, because then I could just get a PS4. I actually like the Switch as a concept and I think it has good games coming.

These are my major issues
>paid online
>charging grip isn't included
>not a big enough leap for a 9th gen console
>no backwards compatibility whatsoever
>no Miiverse

Most of reddit seems pretty pissed off too, for what it's worth. Even on r/NintendoSwitch.

>not a big enough leap for a 9th gen console
The Switch is a 7th generation console, just like the other Wii rehashes.

Repeating it over and over won't make it true user

The hardware has to be exciting. I am bored to death of plain consoles that sit on a shelf.

I understand but that's the reason they give for its higher price tag. They emphasize on the motion control gimmicks and its hybrid nature throughout all of this. They think their (((innovations))) are worth the price tag.

Completely agree with you about every though.

So wait for a Switch emulator on PC?

Does the dock cost around $50? That'd make sense then.

PS4 doesn't have Nintendo exclusives. I don't think it's a 9th gen console, more like an 8.5th gen one.

You mean the software? If they had released this thing later then they'd have a better lineup of launch games to show people. Too bad they're being Jews again.

>hdd
leave it to Sup Forums to complain about solid state data retrieval, i mean, just how in the hell are you braindead vidiots going to shitpost vehemently without loading screens?

spin that in your disk drive you fucking retards

I'll wait for the LightSwitch.
>no dock
>no hdmi cable
>no joycon grip
>translucent plastic
>200$

Coming 11/17/2017.

Can someone explain this HDMI cable meme?

It literally does not come with one? How do you hook it up to the tv? Fucking composite?

But the PS4 does have PlayStation exclusives and some third party exclusives. It also has a full library while the switch has maybe three interesting games right now.

For me, the switch's selling point is that it's not just like every other piece of shit on the market.

trade $50 for the lack of portability?
Not a fan desu

>It's a wii rehash even though it is nothing like the wii

just like 3ds doesnt come with a charger, nintendos retarded like that

loads and loads of devices doesnt come with a HDMI since it is a standard cable that you can buy for 2 bucks. Blu-rays, vcr monitors and GPU are some examples.

Same shit that they're doing with the 3DS and not including battery chargers.

"We don't want to clutter your home with HDMI cables as you most likely have some lying around from your previous Nintendo products.... but if you don't, we'd be glad to sell you some from our store :^)"

>no backwards compatibility whatsoever
None of the other consoles have backwards compatibility?

>paid online
All the other consoles do this.

They haven't used Friend Codes since the fucking DS/Wii you fucking retard.

If this was this Wii U then yes, because the gamepad was such an unnecessary burden they needed to axe years ago, but they never did nor did they make its necessity apparent. The Switch is at least fully portable, which even if I don't intend to use it as such I'd take the option. Still doesn't forgive all the other failures of it.

It does come with the HDMI cable.

It comes with an HDMI cable.

Even the Wii U came with an HDMI cable.

In fact I don't think any of the home consoles this gen come without an HDMI cable. The PS4 Pro came with one too.

I'm only saying HDD to fit in with the other consoles and to minimize costs.

Good luck playing games at sub 30fps for 2 hours before your (((consoles))) die.


I'm saying that Nintendo has more exclusives. Not saying that the Switch is in a better position than the PS4 right now obviously.

>For me, the switch's selling point is that it's not just like every other piece of shit on the market.

It's not even out yet.

They still do you fucking moron. Do some basic research before commenting please.

I'm fairly sure the Wii U requires the gamepad to access some settings.

It does come with the HDMI cable, anons.

>They still do you fucking moron.
No. They don't.

t. Nintendo Fan with every fucking console and a Switch pre-order

If it were backwards compatible, I'd sell my U and buy Switch. Since it is not, I have to keep my Wii U for the few games I do like on it.
Also, the Xbox One does have BC now. I didn't buy a PS4 because of the lack of BC with the PS3.

All of the other consoles doing it doesn't mean I like it. It is why I don't play online on console anymore. Goodbye Splatoon, goodbye Smash.

The other consoles have different selling points. For a couple, see

I still need a code to add friends into my account on my 3DS.

>it's not even out yet
It doesn't have to be out for me to know that it isn't just a plain multimedia box like the other two consoles.

>Also, the Xbox One does have BC now.
No, it doesn't. Don't confuse a select few titles, that ironically play worse on the xbone, as BC.

At least Nintendo will let you play your downloaded games even if your internet is out, unlike a certain other console I know... :^)

>3DS
You mean the system that came out before NNID existed?

Or you can do a friend request online or through miiverse.

Even shitty BC is still BC. The 360 had the same problem. So that's why I bought an OG Xbox instead of a 360. More good games by far.

My 3DS still requires friend codes, my N3DS still requires friend codes, not sure about my Wii U because i haven't used that for ages but i'm pretty sure it also used friend codes.

doesn't the online service also let you do online on Virtual Console games?

The Wii U literally has no friend codes whatsoever. The 3DS came out before NNID and the N3DS inherited them for compatibility.

Which console?

>Even shitty BC is still BC.
But. It's. Not. Until I can play literally every 360 games on the xbone, it does not have BC.

Autism

PS4 won't let you access your downloaded games if you're not signed into PSN.

Hell it won't even let you play games off disc.

this is a lie

In that case, BC hasn't existed since the GBA, since the DS can't do GBA link, the Wii didn't work with the Gameboy Player, the PS3 couldn't play some PS2 games, the 3DS couldn't play games like GH On Tour, and the Wii U doesn't work with LostWinds or DDR for Wii.
