Re: Video: Here's What FIFA 18 Looks Like On Nintendo Switch

Baldspur

My copy should be waiting for me when I get home from work. It is what it is and looks spot on. If anyone was expecting a PS4 or Xbox one visual they were deluded from the start. It will be the portability that sells the game and I'm looking forward to playing my first Game at home and carrying on at the pub!
People saying it looks nothing like the PS4 version?! Well , doh! Of course it doesn't but for me if the gameplay is there, that's always the main thing for a gamer!!!!!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo at E3 2017?

Baldspur

It was the year Nintendo woke back up! Mario looks great in all his guises , Metroid twice, Audrey, Yoshi, rocket league, Audrey. It hit the right notes and on 3DS and Switch, the next few years look like they are going to be fabulous!!

Re: Soapbox: It's Nintendo's Job To Make Switch A Success, Not EA's, Ubisoft's Or Capcom's

Did someone really say that Nintendo has more money than Sony and Microsoft? Does it hell!!! Microsoft and Sony have several other business arms to keep them going even if their consoles don't do well. PS3 wasn't a resounding success but Sony weren't worried because it did well enough and they have such massive businesses elsewhere. You know, TVs , record labels, stereo systems. Microsoft gave immense income from other places than gaming.
Why do you think Nintendo have started releasing mobile games? To gain more income. Nintendo simply cannot match Sony and Microsoft financially so they have to try and be innovative.
Switch is slightly overpriced but saying it's doomed before it even releases is laughable.
You'd think it was only Nintendo who released turkeys. PlayStation VR? Sony have done pretty much zero advertising. Sony are not even announcing new games but rather the odd add on section of a game here and there. PS4 Pro is already being grumbled about by developers because although it does have extra power, it isn't actually much better than the base model. Sony don't care though because they are so far ahead in this generation that it won't hurt them too much.
Nintendo can't join this generation, what they can do is offer something a bit different. Something that isn't currently offered. The nearest you have is the Vita, which by the way has been a total failure. A great little machine but no one really cared or cares about it.

Let's not try and delude ourselves that Nintendo can compete on an equal footing as Sony or Microsoft. They cannot which is why they haven't tried to and i believe Switch will do very well, without worrying about the other 2. Hell will have to freeze over before MARIO turns up for either Sony or Microsoft so Nintendo won't be dropping out of console development any time soon whether some of you want them to or not.

If EA don't fully support Switch then I'm not sure I really care. I love FIFA. They do make good games but they are hardly innovative.
I've never bought a console based on EA games. I have bought Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games as have milllions of others and so it will be with the Switch.

I've said it before on this site and will do so again. If you want a Nintendo Switch, and you can find one, buy one!! If you think it will fail don't buy one!!!!!!!

It's not rocket science. Either don't buy it or do. I've ordered mine and can't wait to get Switching.

Once again, if you're not interested, just Switch off!

Re: Editorial: Pricing Blunders Have Distorted The Narrative Around Nintendo Switch

Baldspur

I really don't get all the negativity around the Switch. Well, I do because certain people just want to see it fail but there are some simple facts that people are just ignoring. Nintendo relies on its gaming business. Sony and Microsoft don't. Nintendo may have good income but it will never compete against 2 giants who have much bigger businesses. Sony have music contracts, record labels, TV's, etc. Nintendo can't compete with that level of financial input!!
So it's not going to try to. Switch is aimed at casual gamers. If that upsets the hardcore then so what? Nintendo isn't asking them to like or buy its products. Would I really be bothered about playing GTA on a Nintendo machine? No, not really.
Do I want to play MARIO, Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, FIFA at home and be able to carry on even when I leave the house? Hell yes!
Why do you think Nintendo delivered the reveal at a time to suit Japan and the US? Because they know Switch has a better chance there than in Europe although judging by Amazon, Game, Tesco to name a few, it isn't going to struggle as much as some people think or indeed want it to.
I agree that it is over priced but not so much so that it would put me off because I want to play something different.
PS4 had stormed this generation but look at the so called triple A games- Remakes, remasters, re hashes. And Switch is going to have plenty of that too.
Not too many complained about PSVR's price point and having owned the system, and sold it, its novel but it's just a showpiece that , like Vita, will slowly disappear from view. You talk about a lack of support for Switch but Sony are hardly even supporting their own VR system!!

Switch will probably have VR at some point but more akin to the Galaxy set up. Simple, accessible and noble of this falling over twenty million sodding wires.

If people want to write the Switch off already, let them. But why keep moaning about it. Look, you either buy it or you don't.

Mines ordered along with BOTW, 1-2 Switch, MARIO Kart 8 deluxe and I can't wait to start switching!
The moaners? Maybe it's time you just switched off.

Re: On Nintendo Switch Power, WSJ Tech Writer Pitches in With Alternative Details

Baldspur

The graphical quality of Switch will be probably on a par with the Wii u. For a handheld that's fine.
I'm not sure it really is a home console you can take out with you but rather a powerful handheld you can play on the go as well.
It will come down to the games. If the third parties get involved then it will work.
But if it's only going to be first party games it will fail.
