Why are people excited for this again?

Why are people excited for this again?

Cons:
- $300 (you can buy a bundled PS4 or Xbone for less RIGHT NOW)
- Less powerful than the PS4 and Xbone
- 32GB internal storage (another $20 - $200 if you want more with micro SD)
- $30 charger grip
- $70 pro controller
- $80 for another pair of Joy Cons (if you have friends)
- $50 for a single Joy Con
- $90 for another Switch dock
- Not bundled with a game like the original Wii had so that’s another $60
- 1-2 Switch is a glorified $50 demo (that should’ve been bundled)
- Paid online subscription (when Nintendo has never shown competence with online)
- Online chat done through an app on your phone (when there’s already Discord/Skype/etc.)
- 720p resolution (maybe 1080p when docked defeating the point of the system)
- 30 FPS (maybe 60 if docked still defeating the point of the system)
- USB type C cables to worry about (cheap USB-C cables can destroy your system)
- Carrying a battery bank (another thing to lug around)
- Battery is NOT user replaceable (batteries get lose capacity as they age)
- Only big launch title is Zelda (which is also coming for the Wii U)
- Other big games are coming the remaining 9 months of the year
- Wi-Fi only (no 4G or LTE support like every expensive tablet)
- No multimedia support (no Netflix/Hulu/etc.)

Pros:
- No more friend codes (when it shouldn’t have existed in the first place)
- Region-free now (when it shouldn’t have existed in the first place)
- Get a “free” game with your paid online subscription (not really “free” then)
- 6-hour battery life (under the best conditions: low brightness, no background apps, playing Tetris)
- The Joy Cons are technically two controllers
- Portable
- Plays Mario

I will buy it at release and you cant stop me

Why are you so obsessed about hating this system?

> posting the shit version

loving every laugh

i like where those pics are going
get out senpai

>USB-C bad

ive looked everywhere and the same clickbait article of two faggets that had shitty notebook and a mac unverified problem and countless people saying its a completely rare problem or unnheard of.

you fucking mong do your research

But you forget OP, it's okay when Nintendo does it

I'm really looking forward to those NES and SNES renters with my Nintendo Online subscription which lets me talk to my friends and play with them online exclusively from my phone

Really though how the fuck is 1 2 Switch $50

because i already have a ps4 and most of your cons are invalid

>most of your cons are invalid

I'd say a decent amount of his are valid. The prices for sure are relevant when the 3DS sold like shit for less money than this will be until Nintendo heavily dropped the price early on

Really sick of reading threads with an agenda.

Can't you just be people?

Because it's okay when Nintendo does it :)

I can't wait to pay $60+ for XBLA-tier games and ports!

>live in Finland
>console is 400€
>all the accessories cost more, for example pro controller is 75€
>games are 70€
>PS4 pro is 300€
Might have pretty bad sales in Finland

most people dont need more than the system, games and maybe pro controller

Nintendo have bad sales in EU in general. Ever notice why people start to talk a lot about Nintendo in the evening? US is waking up.

That's not exactly relevant to me pointing out that the 3DS already had a hell of a time convincing people to buy a handheld at the price it launched at

I want the Switch because I fucking love handhelds. I enjoy playing them more than pc or consoles most of the time. I'm a comfy fag though.

it's not region locked anymore though, so you can import from the US

Half the dudes list is optional purchases. That would be like I I listed PSVR into the total.

well indeed you are right on this one. but of the cons listed by op most are invalid.

Pretty sure they would slap import taxes on that

- It's portable
- It doesn't look like shit
- I can afford it
- I like the controls and they have a lot of potential to be fun
- the joycons have the same colour as the twins in Re;Zero
- the Zelda VA is actually fucking great in my language

I'm gonna get one at launch with zelda and I'm gonna love it

>(you can buy a bundled PS4 or Xbone for less RIGHT NOW)
Why would I buy these consoles if they only have boring games
I like nintendo games like Zelda, mario and pokemon. If this console gets the main multiplats then Ps4 and xbox aren't really an option.

>Why are people excited for this again?
Senran Kagura, using the HD Rumble feature to feel the girls' prominent breasts.

Same here amigo, I like sitting in a chair with my feet up playing einhander on PSP. Cat lays on my lap, snacks and dranks on the table next to me.

not on digital downloads. but you will likely pay american tax by doing this

>buying digital games
Nope
I like having the carts and boxes

>- $300 (you can buy a bundled PS4 or Xbone for less RIGHT NOW)
BUT WHERE'S THE VIDEO GAMES

>that
>comfy

There's nothing comfy about not being able to grab the shit that you're playing.

It only makes more sense to have a wireless controller under the blanket.

Did the PS4 or XB1 even come with games? They were $400-500 with just the console and controller were they not? Don't forget the $60 for online service.

So you were paying $520-620 for console, game, and online, not even counting additional controllers or accessories.

It plays Zelda and Mario and both of those games look more exciting than what I've gotten 3.5 years in on PS4.

Price isn't an issue for me. Switch is the 4th cheapest console released at launch of all time. Only the Dreamcast, Wii, and GameCube were less expensive after adjusting for inflation.

then you have to check out what kind of tax your country applies when importing

post more /ss/witch

New console, new games, and the promise of more.
Of course people are excited, it's new

How does he play without his arms?

Talent wasted in shit

me in the middle
me on the left

LET ME PUT OPTIONAL PURCHASES AS CONS

LET ME PUT MY OWN OPINION AS A CON

LET ME NOT CONSIDER HOW PAST PRODUCTS HANDLED SUPPORT FOR MULTIMEDIA FOR COMPARISON

SUDDENLY, LITERALLY EVERY GAMING DEVICE ON THE PLANET IS TERRIBLE

Which language?

>Gouging you on pricing of peripherals is irrelevant, don't talk about it

Nah

yeah, because optional peripherals shouldn't affect the device itself because, ya know, they're optional

I want port already

*porn

>optional
>the only way you can charge the joycons is by buying a 30 dollars thing

I know thats cool and all. But man, reading that makes it sound really pathetic.

you can charge them attached to the console in the dock, so its not the only way.
but i dislike it as well that the standard grip has no charging function.
still rather than buying the charge grip i will solve this problem by getting the pro controller.
and if the joycons really last about 20 hours you will have to forget charging them a few day for them to run out of juice.

>People always say the Pro Controller is the best way to play Nintendo console games
>Charge $70

It might be "optional," but it's still fucked up

And it's not even a very sightly Pro Controller.

>720 handheld is bad when none did it before
>USB C is bad
>needing another dock
>caring about the price of shovelware
>3-6 hour battery life on what's pretty much a portable console is bad
>no multimedia support (on launch)
>mobile data on a console

here's your (You)

I wonder how much expensive the ps5 is gonna be on launch.

Joy cons have 20 hours battery life... charge them when u re not using them u piece of loser shit... go outside and meet a chick then fuck while the thing is charging... use your fucking brain

WE

I'm buying it for SMT and you can't stop me

But SMT is confirmed multiplat

The 3DS one is a different game, my dude.

>shit-taste pleb triggered by good taste has to make his own shitty version to appeal to his pleb tastes
>interracial

End yourself.

Its the same artist lad

...

Funny thing is the switch is Nintendo answer to the market. Doesn't matter how Nintendo puts it this things is essentially a handheld. They pretty much exited the console market since it's no reason for them to stay anyway.

They have consistent handheld sales as well. Everything about the switch is about local co-op and handheld experience. Their own marketing never forgets to mention how many switches you can connect and how you can take it on the go.

Going with arm hardware was the best thing Nintendo could do as well. They don't even have to keep using Nvidia tegra chips they could use Snapdragon, Hisilicon, Etc.

Arm SoC drop in price fast because of the competition in the phone market. They will never have to worry about features either because majority of these chips have these things built-in to the chip themselves.

Because edgy anti-Nintendo posters are insecure, so they feel the need to loudly shitpost in a feeble attempt to feel better.

Reminder that the 3ds has almost the exact same battery life as the switch

remember /ss/ is the purest form of love

Don't be silly. Low-effort shitposters aren't people.

You are legitimately better off just buying a fucking smartphone like the OnePlus 3

>Android and iOS are starting to see legitimately good games in the sea of shite that used to litter their stores
>Even support from Nintendo like Fire Emblem Heroes
>Battery life can last anywhere between 24-12 hours depending on use
>HD media player
>Portable music player
>4K cameras
>Can call people

I need more of this

>720 handheld is bad when none did it before

Nvidia Shield did it and it cost less you fucking cuck

>playing anything besides card games on phones
You're retarded

>buying a phone for games

t. retard

ok i will get the switch then

...

I didn't read your post, but I bet I can answer your question: because there are video games they want to play on it.

>/ss/ and onee-sans
Superior taste, OP.

>buying some no name chink phone
No thanks

>Buying a Switch for games

A smartphone is a multi-media tool.

The Switch is a fucking brick. 6 hours of battery life in a device as large as a Kindle for $300 is pathetic when the chinks can pop out more powerful smartphones with better batteries for half the size and price.

>Niggers on Sup Forums can't even remotely top this design
My sides.

This is Sup Forums laughing at your ass. All the top end Chinese phones are pretty much made by the actual brains behind the big name companies who got sick and tired of price hiking for brand names so moved to China to sell the same tech for less than half the price.

Bless your heart.

And none of those phones will ever play half the games that come out on consoles without burning up or blasting through that battery faster than the switch.

So why didn't they drop the gimmicks and make a more powerful custom handheld and advertised it as a handheld? Trying to do a hybrid platform like ends up killing it two months before launch. The switch's situation is already dire at this point.

show me a smartphone that can play a game like botw or better for more than 3 hours

So successful they've flooded the market and people are buying them up, oh wait

My K1 doesn't have USB-C, doesn't have a dock, doesn't have nice controllers, and sure as hell doesn't have Nintendo bringing in devs to make games for it. Nah, I'll get a switch too.

>and sure as hell doesn't have Nintendo bringing in devs to make games for it

PFFFFFFFFFFFT

Hey, remember that list of developers working on the WiiU?

PFFFFFFFT

I'll be playing Heroes, but if you think it's the same experience as a main series Fire Emblem game, then there's just no hope for you.

Shitty USB-C cords can ruin electronics, but your average USB-C won't do shit to anything. And if you're really that concerned, BensonApproved curates a list of safe USB-Cs

>make a more powerful custom handheld

You think the device running at a higher clock when plugged into the main is what limited its power when it isn't?

>The switch's situation is already dire at this point.

What world do you live in?

>I'm retarded

Huawei is the new up and comer. Those niggers went from nothing to doing better than Motorola and HTC.

>And none of those phones will ever play half the games that come out on consoles
You could've just stopped there, even.

Poorfags who cannot afford more than one platform every 5 or so years. Probably also some jealousy that every time Nintendo does something it's given more attention than anytime their fanbase of choice does.

The Switch is especially great for people here in Japan. It's exactly what we need. We commute really a lot everyday and so far you can only see people playing on their iPhone or 3DS. But now you can play with the Switch and not only that but you can use it as your main console at home as well. So you have more space in your room (Japanese apartment is always very small and no space).

I don't care what you burgers or europeans like but in Japan it will be very popular.

Nintendo > Microsoft

Who cares, post more /ss/

Honestly I hate the fucking Switch for a multitude of reasons but how the hell is $300 a con?

I was guessing the system would be $500-$600

Both Android and iOS have some fucking fantastic ports of all the GTA Games, XCOM Enemy Within, KOTOR, Crazy Taxi and can emulate all consoles before the PS1.

You know the deal. The shitposters have been trying to get people to believe that Nintendo's DOOMED ever since the Wii was announced. They just keep trying, but they're never right.

>/ss/ - Shota Switch

OwO

>I was guessing the system would be $500-$600

For its subpar specifications it shouldn't be more than $150. I guess the Nintendo name works like Apple now and has tax on top of it.

It has 24 minigames.

Nintendo is also marketing it as a """party""" game. Meaning drinking game with your friends. Probably why there's weird shit like milking the cow.

this stupid pictures are kinda getting me to buy the colored version

I am seriously fucking confused as to how people think that $300 is unreasonable?

When the fuck was the last time a major console launched at under $300?

Why are you on Sup Forums? Doesn't japan have higher quality exclusive image boards that aren't filled with Sup Forums shitposting?

I'm in it for the Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade 2, and Fire Emblem. A new Rune Factory would be nice, but I'll settle for the already announced Story of Seasons. Anything else is gravy. I'll be buying a switch and playing games I enjoy on it. Have a nice day, user. :)
