Nintendo would be better off resurrecting old games like Contra, Megaman, CastleVania, Toe Jam and Earl etc than keep pouring money into stuff that doesn't work.
Agreed on the gimmick controls, but the handheld, home console hybrid isnt a gimmick imo that is a genuinely great, innovative idea that hasnt been done well yet.

But I guess i see what you are saying.
Xbone brah checking in. This is my #1 concern. It's why I didn't get a ps4. Just LOL @ that pos controller.

I really love Zelda/nintendo, but I'm worried about how these joycons + dock will feel. I'm hoping to try out a store demo on friday and be satisfied. If so, I don't intend to go outside all weekend. Das it mane.
I call it "Celebration". It's sexual, and violent...

Not sure what he's talking about. People can say a lot of things about Nintendo but saying they dont innovate is a false statement. I guess you'd have to be around long enough to know but Nintendo constantly innovates with each system, to varying degrees of success:

-saved the games industry with the NES
-D pad (nes)
-light gun (nes)
-power glove (lol)
-shoulder buttons, more than two face buttons (A B X Y)
-rumble (n64)
-analog stick (n64)
-handheld gaming (game and watch/gameboy)
-dual screens (ds)
-VR (virtual boy - too ahead of its time)
-touch screen controllers
-now they are trying portable home consoles

These arent necessarily the first time these technologies were put to use but Nintendo always tries to find new ways of enhancing gaming with each new hardware release.

What do people do when they try to make something look bad, bring up the only bad things. ^ But yes, you wouldn't have those analog sticks on the Playstation or anything really it wasn't for Nintendo

Everything feels weird at first. When I got a Wii U I was like wtf is this. But once I got used to it then it was pretty comfy. Although pro control is still much more comfy and much more similar to Xbox. I think they work on switch?

so much hnnnnnnnnnngh in one post.

nintendo are the true gaming company and will always be so. unlike other corporations that brought their own disc technology to the industry to try and shift more movie sales and make it a "full home entertainment system". yeah ok then. i'll stick to gaming thanks and having fun.

Alright, let's not let the negative Nancys or trolls derail this thread.

For those who missed the Nintendo Presentation this morning. Here is the video.

https://youtu.be/p-mFODSa2VM



I can definitely see myself getting SteamWorld Dig 2 when it's released. Probably get Yooka Laylee as well.

Shakedown Hawaii and Blaster Master Zero are obviously small old school games but probably fun and decent time wasters.

the WarGroove game is a straight up clone of advanced wars on Gameboy Advance, i loved advanced wars.

SteamWorld Dig 2 looks great as well as shakedown hawaii.

I hope these are priced well.

Best way to get this console with no current pre order? I was going to do Best Buy midnite launch, but my gut tells me this will be a waste of time, i.e. I don't get one. Someone said you can pre order at Walmart and walk in to get it at 12:01 at a local store??
Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.
The GOP is a criminal organization who despises the middle class and working poor. Name one policy they have pushed for that increased worker pay, union strength, or worker influence in a corporation.

Lol, it's far too late to pre-order one.

Wal-Mart has said that they will have the Switch in stock for walk in customers. Either get there a little before midnight to see if there are any long lines or try to find a store that isn't open 24 hours a day.

If you don't have any Wal-Marts near you that closes, check out Target or Toys R Us. I heard neither of them took in store pre-orders.

If that doesn't work out for you, just wait until stores get their second batch. Supposedly they'll get more in April.

The Wii and its motion controls wasn't a failure. If it was then Sony and MS wouldn't have felt the need to compete with the dongle and Kinect

I played the Wii a lot but never owned one and completly skipped out on the WiiU. This will be the first nintendo console I'll own since the Gamecube

This is the skin i've orderd for it. It will match my entertainment center perfectly.


I'll admit this is an impulse buy and I probably won't have nearly as much time to play it as I want, but I have faith that this will be a decent console, in the long run. Worst case scenario i'll just give it to my younger cousin. if its a complete flop (which I doubt).

actually I think walmart/target/bestbuy/toys r Us received a bunch more on top of their preorders, so as long as you get there on day 1 of launch you should have no problem walking in and getting one.

Mine has already been shipped from best buy. It says its scheduled to be delivered on the 3rd, but knowing them, it will arrive in my city the day before and just sit in the packaging facility. Since I know where its at i'm actually going to go pick it up and hopefully have it a day early.

Guess they've been going in and out of stock for the last hour.

First time I clicked on your link it said sold out, just before starting this post it was back up.

And it's back to being sold out.

man you are in for a treat. i got it for my dad a while back, he is into the whole chilled out games that you play at your own pace. really relaxing, this will be my go to game in bed after a long day

yeah the developer deserves it, i read he created the whole game on his own, every part of it. he deserves the millions he has earned. took him 4 years to develop it. goes to show, there is still a huge market for these types of games, and the switch is perfect for it, and the controls i think.

Half of this is more gimmicks.

Look at their new pro controller. That is Xbox all the way. Most of this stuff hasn't even caught on past nintendo.

No one is chasing nintendo with their crappy motion controls that they just won't let go.

Fanboys say "Hurr Durr Motion controler are innovation"

Realists say "Who else is doing it?"

Both Microsoft and Sony said enough is enough with the motion controls and they have all but ditched them. Yet nintendo is stubborn and just won't give it up.

except Playstation is a nintendo product. It was supposed to be SNES CD. So you can't really say sony took what nintendo had.

Like I said people want games. Nintendo is putting out the games like they used to.

Instead they have 1-2 switch.








Just come on now.

Go back to games that matter like Megaman, Contra, Castlevania or even grab sega games like Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Altered Beast etc

You think I should just go Walmart instead of waiting in line at a Best Buy until midnight? I'll go to a walmart in a far flung neighborhood.

Go at like 11:30 and camp the game console section?
