Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Yup the account was deleted

@Eel oh, okay. I hope they're ok

@Link-Hero There was no talking with that person, unfortunately. Every reply was met by a similar response: "You're all idiots. You can't cope with the fact that it's a home console first." yadda yadda yadda

Some people just can't be reasoned with.

It's a really weird thing to get so mad about though. Could it be that considering the Switch a "home console first" made them feel validated in some way? I know there's people that look down on handhelds as the lesser/for kids option.

Anyhow, let's not dwell on it too much, we wouldn't want them to continue derailing the thread with their absence.

@Eel
It's hard to truly understand what's going on in peoples' heads some times. Could be a combination of a perspective of insecurity about playing on a handheld, and just being a younger individual who hasn't yet matured (one hallmark of maturity is the ability to reason and rule over your emotions, especially those which aren't logically grounded).

I try to understand where ppl are coming from- for example, you may come to learn that person was teased for playing Switch (kids act like kids, you know how it goes) and that put them on the defensive from the start, so any mention of being handheld triggered them into that defensive position.

But I'm no psychologist. Oftentimes I think it's just younger, immature individuals who don't know how to act, and let the anonymity of the internet depersonalize who they're speaking with to the point everything becomes about arguing and being right.

Monster hunter looks cool but I swear it’s the only game that all the adverts show the player getting battered about. I don’t even think the soulsborne games do that lol.

That being said I may give it another go this holiday (I am way too stressed to be stressed about a game right now. )

The Switch is a "console"

@Ryu_Niiyama
Lol they do do that in MH trailers 😀

They like to show the monsters as threatening and powerful, so they always showcase the hunters getting battered about.

@Kermit1 The Tegra X1 is a "mobile" chipset.

I'm going to have to insist you agree the Switch is a handheld.

@Magician... Handheld-Console, Home-Console, Game-Console

Speaking about upcoming Switch games, I still wonder when this game will be released ?

It mentioned 31 Dec 2022 according to play-asia after delay again since last year.

@Anti-Matter
Reader Rabbit teaming up with Curious George to travel through time to defeat an evil Don Bluth rabbit from stealing the old Saban brand logo?

I was thinking the same thing lol

Not going to happen but I hope splatoon 3 let’s us make any skin color. Red yellow……Purple. I just want more character creators wehere you have more freedom.

The Switch is clearly both. Both a handheld and a at home console.
I guess you can say the same about laptops, to an extent. Since they can dock as well.

DioField Chronicle demo (save data transfers to full game), Sunbreak update 1 and Splatoon 3 Direct (which has the possibility of having a Global Testfire like the other 2 Splatoon games) all in 1 day.

@TommyTendo
I'm fairly confident I wouldn't classify a laptop as a home console or a handheld

@skywake Yeah, but like... It can be used both in home or you can have it on your lap.
So the essence is there, sort of. Of it being a hybrid nature.

I dunno. The PlayStation TV used a mobile chipset, yet there's no way it's a handheld. After all, it only worked connected to a TV.

@Grumblevolcano Your saying there might be a online stress test of some kind?
