>full game is 50 dollars
>BUT you can chose 5 of the 28 games to download for free with every switch
Give me ONE SINGLE REASON this doesn't make perfect sense.
The whole fucking thing should have been free. What the hell was Nintendo thinking with this game
Other urls found in this thread:
Because the games are top tier and all deserve to be paid for? Nintendo makes some top quality stuff dude.
Because I wouldn't even download these games for free. If I won't take them for free, maybe they'll get me when this game is on clearance for $2?
>Company produces thing spending workforce, time and resources
>Doesn't give it away for free
wtf i hate capitalism now
Insider here. The game had a budget of... not joking here... $50,000.
It is very much a tech demo being sold as a retail game. However, Nintendo also wants to release something that takes advantage of HD rumble to demonstrate how it works.
>Will it bomb?
No. the game's budget is so low that it could sell 50,000 units and still be profitable.
Holy shit, I just watched that webm. WTF why, I don't understand. It's not even a worthwhile tech demo.
>insider
I'm not saying the workers don't deserve to be paid or some shit like that, however Nintendo has set a standard for themselves to pack their "tech demo" game in for free. I don't think that buyers are entitled to it for free, but I do think that there is more than enough room to be disappointed. It just makes them look deseprate for money
>Standard
Nintendo wants to eventually start offering different bundles with different pack in games for the Switch later on down the line. It's not a bundled game 'yet' but will be in the future.
It's probably to keep the cost of the launch Switch package as it is right now
(Unreasonable) people are bitching about 300$, imagine if the thing was, say, 320$ or more
It's 260 in japan.
Are we sure it doesn't come with something installed like AR Games or Face Raiders on 3DS?
sauce on the 5 games
it's just a terrible idea to not sell a system with a game and even worse to not package it with something that's barely a video game but shows off the new gimmicks of their gimmick controller
>Set a standard
They did it once in two regions.
It's a hypothetical
>Wii Sports was free
>This fucking tech gimmick demo isn't
Actually, I thought of a reason. Wii Sports showed off all the neat things you can do with motion controls. Nintendo Land showed off Wii Motion Plus and the Gamepad. These things were important parts of their system's identity.
The Switch's gimmick is in the name, the ability to switch screens between TV and handheld. 1 2 Switch is played without looking any screen at all and just shows off HD rumble. While neat, it's an extra feature rather than the main attraction.
Including it might give people the wrong idea about the system. Unlike Wii Sports and Nintendo Land, 1 2 Switch has very little (if any) single player value, so people might get annoyed at getting another motion control tech demo party game as opposed to something like Zelda or Skyrim.
That doesn't explain why it's $50 on its own, though. Even Wii Play came with another Wii Remote to justify its purchase.
>webm
Nintendo has lost their fucking minds.
even if it were free I still wouldn't want it.
These would be great in a WarioWare title
Agreed
Here are 18 out of the 28 1,2, switch games
youtube.com
Go ahead and tell me if there are 5 worthwhile games and tell me which ones.
Objectively correct.
I honestly don't know what the fuck they were thinking, this shit wouldn't get as much flak if they used an actual IP that does precisely the same thing 1-2-switch does. Even then it looks terribly boring, but I'm not the target audience so whatever
I don't get it the game, do you just rotate it as much as you can?
...
the entire premise of 12Switch is virtually make-believe and pretend. There is no reason anyone needs to spend $50 to "pretend". You're looking at your opponent, not the game. You could turn the TV off altogether and still have the same experience. You could turn the console off and still have the same experience. You could not purchase the console at all and still have the same experience.
The game is basically a third party referee. Get a third friend to be that referee, then you and the other friend can make believe all day while the third person arbitrarily dictates who wins or loses.
I would have gladly taken Sword Fight, Ping Pong, Ball Count, Quick Draw, and Wizard
All of those seem like awesome drinking games except Ball Count which looks like the objective way to test out the HD rumble
It's $50 because that's Nintendo's "budget" game price. They did the same thing with the Wii U Mario Tennis. Their "budget" retail games were $30, so it's basically $10 off the usual price.
I kinda like this one but I don't see myself ever playing it more than twice.
will this work with numales considering they have beards?
Is this how monotonous and mediocre business life is that it'd be fun to make a game over who can shave faster?
From what I can tell, one person rotates theirs and the other person tries to match it as best as possible. Honestly though I have no clue
Captcha: Toilets Dead
>Is this how monotonous and mediocre business life is
Yes.
That isn't true at all. Tons of games for both wii u and 3ds (mostly 3ds) launched at 40
No it isent, its 29,999 Yen
I like the JoJo one, but theres no more than 3 games that i would ever play from those lmao.
How is this worth 50$?
I want to watch these two fuck. I would have gladly spent 60 dollars for it.
Which is 260 usd.
$50 000 budget would only cover the cost of a very junior programmer you fucking idiot. Literally no money left for graphics, sound, or fucking anything.
>NUUUUPREFIX
NOT
AN
ARGUMENT
3DS games are normally $40.
Which Nintendo published Wii U games were $40 on release?
Not if you made it in 3 months.
You could buy this instead and get the same gameplay experience.
guy on the left looks like the lovechild of Neil Patrick Harris and Gordon Ramsey.
What bothers me is that most of the "gameplay" is spent staring at someone else instead of the screen. You're basically $50 paying for the HD rumble gimmick instead of for a real video game.
I will get drunk and have fun with my friends playing this game and none of you friendless underage faggots can stop me.
This. She also looks a bit like that Treehouse girl with the huge tits
I'm not gonna lie, the more videos of this game that keep coming out, the more I think my family would love to play it.
I'd probably buy it at a $25-30 price point.
Fuck Bop-it Extreme, the spin it was busted and Flick it was redundant. Bop-it classic is the only true test of skill.
>I will eat shit and you can't stop me
Nobody's trying to, lad, enjoy it
>food analogy
You really got him there.
>fully grown adults playing games designed for the 3 to 8 age range
>shit
>food
Tone it down scatfag, this isn't /d/
You play mature games for mature gamers such as yourself, right sonygger?
...
I can play this with a bunch of sticks and I'd have more fun.
They even call this a game, wtf Nintendo?
All they had to do is release knack2 an they'd have a console seller right there.
I think it's a good idea to not bundle it with the system. Yes, it would have been nice to get a game with it, but if Nintendo is really trying to drop the kiddy and casual only persona, bundling this game with the system would have given off the entirely opposite message.
Nintendo is never dropping the kiddy and casual only persona.
See Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssee, all these rated E and E10 games being released on the Switch.
Literally just a tech demo. There's no reason to charge for it. It doesn't come off as childish since they use adults as the models and since when has nintendo not been casual, especially now that they're trying to get the mobile audience?
Their launch lineup does nothing to sway that persona
You can be family friendly without being overly juvenile.
You can't spell the word isn't? Are you literally 12?
>no digital download for actual games
I knew they'd drop it. MicroSD isn't economically feasible to support their plans for full real-deal games being downloaded.
god what a tremendous fuck up. Switch redesign with SD card slot is gonna be around the corner.
Does the game itself come with the videos demo:ing the games?
>shaving is the worst daily task any man has to do
>let's make a game about it
What were they thinking?
Yes
>if Nintendo is really trying to drop the kiddy and casual only persona
They aren't. Plus, all Switch ads (that I've seen, at least) focus almost entirely on 1 2 Switch.
>mfw all the people who bought Switches at launch have to spend $200 for a 256GB MicrosSD card but i'll only need to spend $20 for a the same storage on standard SD
Their Superbowl ad focused exclusively on BotW.
Has there been any Switch marketing targeted at children? The would probably get a shit ton of sales if they marketed it as a kid's tablet which is what it is.
>hold down the trigger to guard
>release it to attack
this is just bad game design.
>I can play this with a bunch of sticks and I'd have more fun.
Delete this.
why do you guys complain about a game which was for sure not designed with anyone browsing Sup Forums in mind?
obviously nintendo doesent expect to sell a lot of copies to gamers.
>anytime a guy plays against a girl, the girl always wins
What did they mean by this?
explain
You have a source for that?
Not shitposting, actually curious where they said it
My brain doesn't have the enough processing power to see how would anyone pay this trash.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
if this was free I wouldn't complain at all and its an OK tech demo then
Wtf Nintendo?
Since Nintendo is both a hardware and software developer, there's a chance the Switch itself was designed to accommodate this single "game".
At the very least, first party develop time/money were completely wasted on this.
zelda is 13.4 gb according to the japanese website and very well available digitally.
nintendo published every wii u game and every 3ds game after the gold coin mario digitally. it is highly unlikeley they will stop.
Asians don't have beards so they made a game about wanting to shave.
he's trying to get in her pants
What?
just replace the bottle with a penis
for all we know, switch may end up like 3DS where the device didn't have a eshop on day one. it had to be patched in later.
Friendly reminder that there's 1 2 switch games involving nazi saluting in sailor uniforms and making love to a gorilla
Girls can play video games, too!
Need webms
Sounds exactly like the kinda game I'd like.
Why?
i think it was designed to allow virtual console for most if not all nintendo consoles.
Why not?
Wii sports is still played today. They don't want you to buy it, they want churches, senior centers, boys and girls clubs to buy it
All of this is clearly "come up with a minigame using the Joycon and learn how to program for it" tier, with a couple of jpgs and a day of filming for the videos.
Probably took less than 200k to develop. It will 100% make a profit that can be used for better games, you're a faggot.
>I can play this with a bunch of sticks and I'd have more fun.
This is exactly how I feel about it, mainly because there's literally no visual feedback on what the fuck you're doing. Hell even VR was pretty bad and they had more to show than this
1 2 Switch sounds like just the right game for those libtards and their safe spaces. All things considered, this was a brilliant move.
Because what the world needed was a Babysitting Mama clone with all of the fun taken out of it.
NO NO NO
PREASE DON'T SHAKE DA BABY!
Nintendo can't stand being out of the spotlight and they're hoping this shit will become the next Wii Sports.
That's the best I can come up with.
>WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT, BRO?
>that thing looks hurt.
>Should we call an aquarium or something?
None yet. Those were pulled from the 1 2 switch commercial
Is this video games? lmao
i didnt have a 3ds at the beginning but now that they pretty much made it a policy to deliver their games digitally i doubt it has no eshop at the beginning.
