Where did everything go right?


Where did it go wrong?

Just about every possible thing went wrong

If you were to make a list of pros and cons, the pros list would feature "BotW looks pretty good" and literally everything else would be in the cons list

>Where did everything go right?
Stellar first and third party support
Breath of the Wild as a launch title
The power of a home console and the portability of a handheld
Top notch hardware

The Switch will change the videogame industry forever.

where it went right
>portable
>cartridges
>zelda at launch
Where it went wrong
>paid online
>stupid controller prices
>meager launch lineup till holidays
>720p screen
>3 hour battery life
>more expensive than ps4 slim which is more powerful and comes with a game

>paid online is bad

As if paying for a service doesnt make it better? Psn was pretty iffy at first and it got loads better after the subscription.

Something nintendo needs.

What frustrates me more then anything about this post is the inherent lack of caring for what experiences the new hardware will bring with games and its features. You literally only give a shit about how powerful it is.

how many layers if irony are you on

I don't even know anymore.

because i don't want my games to run at single digit frame rates making them unplayable.

What new experience numbnuts? It's basically a vita.

Yeah because that's fucking realistic.
Gaming as a whole, in general. With joy cons and with friends.
Why dont you give a shit more about the games and gameplay youll get out of a company trying to fucking innovate rather THEN WANTING THEM TO BE THE SAME FUCKING COPY AND PASTED PS4 AND XBONE YOU RETARD.

You dont by a console for its specs autistic shill lord. You get it for its exclusives/features.

>drones are THIS delusional

It's Nintendo

Nintendo games are good.

I like them, Monster Hunter will be fun too.

>Gaming as a whole, in general. With joy cons and with friends.
We've been here before. Asymmetric play, couch co-op. Wii U was supposed to bring that back. Turns out people who play video games are asocial faggots and no one cares.

When the ONLY REASON Nintendo hardware still sells is because people want their yearly fix of Mario and Zelda, you're never going to get these so called innovative experiences.

Can you honestly look at 1-2 Switch and say you see something that isn't a fleeting novelty that most people would tire of in 30 minutes? The entirety of "innovation" with the Switch is basically contained in that one game.

>Turns out people who play video games are asocial faggots and no one cares.

The Wii sold only that well because of shit like that, it's a literal money printer if they get to the normies.

>720p screen
>3 hour battery life
These complaints aren't compatible with one another, unless you want a lower screen resolution for some reason. Higher screen res = worse battery life and worse framerates.

And you're just as naive as Nintendo thinking they can repeat the Wii without realizing what it was about the Wii that made it successful

Wii didn't "get to the normies" as if there's some fucking wall to climb over. Wii had a new idea, motion controls, that really hadn't been explored before in the mainstream. Wii let you play golf, baseball, go bowling, boxing, shoot a gun, go fishing, all in your living room. That was a novel idea. People saw that, people who ordinarily have NO INTEREST IN VIDEO GAMES AT ALL, and they said "that looks interesting". And it was cheap. $250 with a packin game, comes with everything you need. That's how you create a fad device. You bring something new to the market at a price that's reasonable to everyone and of course it sells because everyone, not just gamers, want to give it a shot because why the fuck not?

The Switch is absolutely nothing like the Wii. What is new about it? What is the aspect that's supposed to appeal to people who don't care about video games? The fact that you can play video games On The Go™? That's still just video games. It's nothing new, it's nothing novel, it's nothing that has even the potential to become a gimmicky fad.

Right out of the gate, the Switch only has appeal to one demographic: people who actually want to play video games. And what does it offer those people? Zelda? Zelda looks great, but that's all there is that isn't already available for 6 fucking months. 6 fucking months and then you get Splatoon 2, a sequel to a game that might have sold well for a new IP on a failed console, but it didn't save the Wii U and it won't save the Switch. After that you have Mario, MAYBE by the end of the year, and then it's nothing more than a gigantic question mark.

(1/2)

(2/2)

3rd party support is already terrible, with just about EVERY major publisher playing the wait and see game. And it's not really their fault, because if you're expecting games like GTAV and FFXV on the Switch, then it wasn't going to happen anyway. Switch just isn't powerful enough.

From the perspective of someone who wants to actually play video games, from the perspective of someone who only wants to own 1 system (as normies mostly do), the Switch is a TERRIBLE CHOICE. It will get Nintendo 1st party exclusives but once again, that's it. Their libraries will be sorely lacking if they want all the big name releases coming out for other 8th gen consoles. They won't be on the Switch. Switch can't even run them.

If Nintendo had brought something new to the table, I could see another Wii fad, but as it stands, there's 0 potential for that. What Nintendo has instead brought to the table is the Nintendo Vita, now with TV out

And whereas they used to be targetting the non-gamer demographic with waggle bullshit, now they're BEGGING the gamer demographic to come back. And it's not going to happen. Wii U couldn't do it either.

This post covers it

Normie dont give a fuck about handheld/console hybrid

And gamers dont care about the fucking 3 interesting titles for the whole of 2017

Just wait until the holidays to buy it. You won't be able to play the complete version of Zelda until then anyways, and by then there will be bundles, more games, and perhaps limited editions offered.

Literally the only reason to get your rocks off on Zelda early and then you'll be bored of it before the DLC finishes releasing.
