@6ch6ris6 You must have a pretty crappy TV. While 720p doesn't look super sharp, it looks very good on my 4K TV. Looks super great on the display in the Switch.
@Fitkong I played it on my 65" 4k TV and it looked great. My son played it on his Switch and he didn't have any complaints. People need to stop being so fixated on pixel count and more on game play. I have a high end gaming computer that runs almost everything that I throw at it in 4k 60+fps ultra settings. I still love to play games on the Wii U, Xbox One and Switch even though they are lower res. When you're zooming around the screen, you really don't have time to care about 720p or 1080p. There is far more that goes into how the game looks on the screen than just the resolution. Kind of like people who buy $100 cameras with high pixel count and brag about it even though they take poopy pictures.
@RazorThin The game is the spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder. It's a deluxe sit down game, but no, you don't have to sit on a Jet Ski. Truly awesome game though. Disney Quest is a 5 story deluxe arcade that is located in the West Side of Disney Springs (was Downtown Disney). It never lived up to what Disney wanted, so it's coming to an end. Disney had originally planned to have around 7 of them around the world and did have one in Chicago too, but only for a short period of time.
@RazorThin I would love for the original Daytona USA arcade game to be on the Switch. I had bought it for the Saturn when it first came out and played it like crazy. One game that I'd really like to see on Switch is H2Overdrive. My kids and I played the crap out of that every time we'd go to Disney World as they had several machines at Disney Quest. Sadly, DQ is closing it's doors before I make my next trip there
@ieatdragonz I bought the game and if you enjoy math, problem solving and basic programing you should like it. I'm aces at math and problem solving, but haven't programed in a very long time. I found that the higher levels are a little more challenging and will take a little longer to figure out. Overall, I'm glad that I bought it.
@Meuz It's $20, that's less than a movie ticket and concession. Unless you know that the game is horrible, then I don't see a problem with the price. I'm planning in picking up the physical release at Game Stop.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE The problem is that I've read way too many of your negative comments on this site about the Switch in forums relating to the Switch and/or it's games. If you don't like it or want one, then why are you here? My reply was in your response to not wanting someone else replying to your comment. If you're tired of people replying to your comments, then maybe you shouldn't be so negative.
I owned this on my dedicated 4-slot MVS. I actually liked Top Player's Golf better though. I'd like to buy several of the Neo Geo games out on Switch, but would hate to and then have them releases a collection of games as a set for less.
I want to hear from everyone in this group. If you have a Switch please confirm if yours has or has not had it's screen scratched by it's dock. Mine, my sons and two friends HAVE NOT had any problems with the screen being scratched by the dock.
Again, a story for a problem that pretty much doesn't exists. Both my son and I have Switches and neither of ours has had any problems at all after being docked and removed dozens of times. The couple other people who I know that have them have had no problems. The one picture that is circulating the internet the most that shows scratches on the screen of the Switch were in no way caused by the dock. Why do we need to keep talking about this like it's effecting everyone?!?
@DanteSolablood Pokemon and Pokemon character names are trademark of Nintendo. Here's a link to the legal information: http://www.pokemon.com/us/legal/
This is stupid. There is no "Switch Tax" so stop calling it one. Cartridges have always cost more to manufacture than discs...get over it. It wasn't a problem for the DS/3DS and it wont be a problem here. I've seen one example of where a game was priced higher on the Switch, how's that make it a "Switch Tax". Seriously!
@BAN I agree. There has been one main picture circulating of scratches on the Switch supposedly from the dock. There was no way the dock made those scratches. Unless you're completely careless or have something sharp stuck to the inside of your dock, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Both my son and I each have a Switch and have had zero problems with them. Most of the people who comment on the "problems" don't even have a Switch.
@6ch6ris6 It's not. Neither mine or my sons have scratched at all after at least a couple dozen insertions each. The one picture that I've seen of a Switch with a scratched screen did not look like it was scratched from the dock.
@jestermx6 You can turn off the autoconnect feature of the wifi if you go into internet setting, click on your connection, go to change settings, scroll down to autoconnect, turn off, save. You can then either go in and manual connect each time or turn autoconnect back on.
@JunkRabbit If you're not using the controllers wirelessly, you can hold the home button down for a few minutes and turn on airplane mode. You will only be able to play with the controllers attached at that point.
@S20TEW I have two Airport Extreme wifi routers in my house and have had ZERO problems with the wifi on my Switch...or anything else for that matter. If your wifi router isn't ac capable, it might be time to upgrade...there's a world of difference.
@JohnnyC 32GB memory is not a rushed system problem. If they had waited another 6 months, it most likely would have still had 32GB. As for the other problems...what percent of units are effected buy them?!? All electronics have a small percent of defects out of the box. Both my son and I each have one. Mine was bought in Michigan and his in Illinois, and neither of us have had any problems at all. The problem is that some people just have nothing better to do than to slam something that they don't have because they fear it's going to have a negative impact on their beloved item....Sadly, the internet is filled with fanboys. I've owned pretty much every system ever released. I would never judge anything without first extensively using it.
@TrumpsHand Mine too. No problems at all. The one picture that I've seen that's been reposted all over the internet of scratches that were supposedly caused by the dock were not caused by a good dock. Maybe their dock had something stuck to the inside of it or maybe it wasn't the dock at all.
@Frank90 If you think for a minute that the Switch is going to have that much storage built in, you might as well just give up now as it's not going to happen. Nintendo has stressed many times that this is not a system that competes with the PS4/Xbox One. It's something different, which I for one am perfectly fine with. I enjoy gaming on pretty much all devices (phones, tablets, handhelds, consoles, computers). If I want something powerful to play huge games on, I have my gaming computer which the PS4/Xbox One can't even begin to compete with.
Now, lets see you walk out your door and to a park playing your PS4/Xbox One games without the next for yet another device to stream the game on and without lag or data usage. If you want to play those big games either play them on your computer/PS4/Xbox One or buy them on cartridge (game card) for the Switch. At that point, the SD card in the system would mostly be needed for updates and game saves.
I imagine that the switch will come with 4GB Ram, either 16GB or 32GB flash storage and a Micro SD card slot (currently as large as 512GB, but can be up to 2TB). People need to think of the Switch more as what it is, a Nintendo tablet that you can dock to a TV and not something like a dedicated console that stays tethered to your TV like it's 1977.
@dmauas You have your information wrong. The standard size of the cartridges is 16GB. NO ONE said that the max size is going to be 16GB. Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U is 4.9GB, why use a 32GB cartridge for something like that?

Re: Game Freak is Recruiting For New Console Game
@DanteSolablood Nintendo owns the trademarks, the three companies together have the copyrights. Here's and excerpt from The Pokemon

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Will Support Micro SDXC Cards Up To 128GB In Capacity
