@Ralizah We all have so much egg on our faces it's like a bomb went off in a chicken coop.
If think that's the main source of sheepishness around the game (if you'll pardon the abrupt switch in animal analogies). It's not that people are ashamed of buying a kids' game (if we were, we wouldn't be on a Nintendo forum), but that we're a little ashamed of our past selves, and can't shake the feeling that if we explained our current opinion to our past selves, our past selves would probably be ashamed of us.
When reacting to the game after the leak, nearly everyone and their donkey got at least a little on board the "SO MUCH WRONG"/"WHY NINTENDO WHY"/"KILL IT WITH FIRE" bandwagon, and hating on the game almost became a sort of meme. Now, the meme is us.
And the first rule of the internet is, never be the meme.
Internet is all about its exaggerations and overreactions. Today I read a post from someone saying they weren't gonna buy RE Revelations and that Capcom could kick rocks, because... once upon a time years ago they didn't bring RE Revelations 2 to Wii U. Which, I'll be the first to say, that was bogus, and I've ranted on that issue many times. But life is too short to hold a grudge for half a decade and boycott great games out of spite. But that's how the Internet is. It's why people, to this day, talk about boycotting Rayman Legends on Switch because.... once upon a time it went multiplat, way back in 2013, in another console generation, on another system.
But people here, I respect the people here. Because at least when this game was revealed, people admitted hey, we were wrong. Game looks great. We're human beings. We're going to be wrong about a great many things. But a person who can admit they're wrong and change their opinion when the evidence is brought forward... that's the kind of people I want to associate with. That's the kind of people I want to talk about video games with.

A really nice little trailer that shows Mario's different abilities and moves.
I just read that article on nintendotoday and said to myself WTF?! I mean really WTF? 900p 30fps. Maybe I should just return my Switch within 14 days back policy. Metroid prime 4 will run like poop.
I really hate that I actually want this game. I thought I would not get it or wait a while, but I might just pick it up. And I hate myself for thinking that.

Even games on Xbox run often run at 900p. So why on earth would that be unacceptable for Switch? 900p upscaled to 1080p looks so similar that I doubt 95% of gamers would even be able to tell the difference if somebody didn't tell them about it point-blank. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference.
And... it's a strategy game. If Zelda can run at 30fps, why on earth would it be a problem for a strategy game that's turn based? Have you failed to notice how great this game looks? They clearly chose to boost the visuals and use 30fps rather than lesser visuals in favor of extra frames in a turn based game... which is the logical thing to do for a game like this.
Please, please go return your Switch so someone who actually values video games and isn't living in fantasy land can enjoy it.

@BLP_Software I'm serious man. So early on it's lifespan and can't push 3rd party on 30fps to 1080p. That's just so lame! I know Switch is portable and "weak" but it should last for 4 years at least. Now I see "new switch" next year and "new new Switch year after.
And btw I don't like it so much. Wii U is better system IMO. I hate when I want to switch in handheld mode I need to stand up, dismantle joycons, put it on Switch and get back on couch. On Wii U it was just one button away to switch between TV and handheld. I loved that feature because my kids always interupt my playing sessions.
Furthermore, I was so trilled about Switch portability but now when I have one I found it not so pleasant to play it like handheld. It just feel somehow uncomfortable and fragile.
I'm not all that unhappy but now I regret buying it so early. I could buy new ps4 at half price of switch (yea, exactly half priced here in Croatia) and wait for a year or two
@JaxonH it's not about resolution, I'm not graphics freak.. I have 3ds which is my most favorite gaming system of all time, have Wii U and now Switch and I love Nintendo and their games. Never bothered with ps3, 4, xboxone. I had ps1,2, original xbox, wii.. so u can see it's not about graphics. Also i play regularly old school games on Wii U VC and having blst with them.
It's about skepticism about future of Switch and Nintendo console business as whole.
I want it succeed, I want it to sell like Wii did and of course, I want great games on it... but can't see that's going to happen.
I hope I'm wrong.. I really do!
@CroRock You know you can keep the joycons on the Switch while docked, right?
I only use the joycons for handheld mode and it's just as easy as that. Put the Switch with the joycons attached into the dock when playing docked, take the Switch out of the dock when playing handheld and that's it. The Switch pro controller is one of Nintendo's best quality controllers throughout their entire console history so if you don't have one I'd recommend you get one and leave joycons just for handheld mode.
Everyone else can. So I don't know what to tell you. I mean, it's still sold out 6 months post launch, they're holding lotteries in Japan where 5,000 people are lining up for just a chance of buying one of 300 units. I have 4 coworkers who already bought a Switch- people who haven't owned a Nintendo console in 15 years, with dozens more talking about it- more than any other console on the market. Almost everyone who owns one is gushing about it- even channels like classicgameroom that don't typically focus on Nintendo are posting photo shoots of the system just because they love it so much. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the system is absolutely incredible, has captured the attention of the masses and is catching on like wildfire. But whether or not it sells like the Wii, it's going to do considerably well- that much is blatantly obvious.
Skepticism is one thing- when there's actually a reason to be skeptical- but right now the opposite is true. If I were a betting man I would not bet against the Switch- you'd have to be a fool to do so. But irrespective of its' success, games look absolutely incredible on the system, and the performance of the games have all been adequate if not exceedingly so. And the quality, fun-factor, and frequency of release of the games have definitely exceeded that of Wii U. It's superior in almost every single way- certainly in most of the areas that truly matter.
Just play the games and enjoy it. Mario Kingdom Battle looks immaculate- the performance is perfectly fine and the visuals are stunning. If that's not satisfactory for you, then I don't know what to tell you aside from maybe quit playing video games- iirc Switch actually has a higher ratio of games running at 60fps than any other console. So if you're going to complain about performance, this is not the console to point the finger at.

I do the same. I never take my joycons off the Switch... when I dock it I do just that- I dock it and grab a separate pair of Joycon. When I take it with me, I just grab it and go.
But despite how much I love the pro controller (and I agree- it's an incredible controller) I prefer using 2 split Joycon even more so. It's super comfy, more versatile, and far easier to use gyro which is crucial for games like Splatoon 2... even Zelda with aiming the bow. And then with Arms, the split Joycon thumbs up grip feels so good and is so much fun to use...
I never want to use another controller again. Split Joycon is it. The pinnacle of controller design.

@JaxonH
You are on all topics here on forum and on main page commentary section, You own pretty all games for all Nintendo systems because I see your comments on almost every game. Good for you, I'm jealous. Really. You have both pro controller and spare pair of joycons and your English is way better then mine. So.. I can't and won't argue with you.
I am and always will be Nintendo fanboy and surely won't stop playing games.
I said Switch just didn't clicked with me the way I thought it would.
Sorry for having my opinion, I hope you can live with that. Say no more coz you win, ok?
FYI I am looking at this game from E3 and probably will buy it day one or maybe two because I love strategy games. I even bought Switch for new Fire Emblem. And well.. for Monster Hunter. But... can I say that no new Monster Hunter World on Switch and even no MHXX west release is one big bullpoop?! No, sure I can't because you would say me sell your Switch and stop playing games LOL.
So all hail the Nintendo Switch.. its best console ever existed without flaws and all. Beat that Sony and Microsoft if you dare.
New SNES era is coming...
