I bought my PSVR for 150 euro on Black Friday. The most innovative consumer tech for a few measly bucks and people are still complaining. Just seeing your friends experience it is worth the money. It's quite a party/social thing to me. Swapping out the headset and laughing at each other.
@impurekind do you have Rez? If not: buy it. Area X is the most magical VR experience I had(don't watch videos, you need to experience it)
I want a tetris only version of puyo puyo tetris by sega. The tetris multiplayer is great, but I hate getting paired with Puyo players. It's not as much fun.
@dres Are you dumb? I would gladly pay more for a good service. I don't care if it's the fraction of the price if the service sucks. I have no problem paying >$100 a year for something that is worth it.
And they are not giving anything extra compared to other services.It's really bad. PS Plus is 3 times more expensive and still offers way more value.
Damn, those delusional fanboys keep missing the point.
@gauthieryannick Take off your tinfoil hat, Alex Jones. ITZACONSPIRACYYY
Hell naw, these games just suck. The service sucks and waiting doesn't change a thing, because it's a subscription service so it runs out. It's like if you would release a Spotify clone with a library of three songs. Yeah, but you have to wait while paying to get more.
When in fact Nintendo never actually improved. It's like N64 games on VC. Only 20 or so were ever released. I'm pretty sure all delusional fanboys were claiming you just had to wait until more were released lol
@dleec8 'as one of their top three game console activities, as did 21% of those between 48 and 66 years old.'
One of the TOP THREE activities. Guess what the first two are.
I also watch Netflix on my PS4(just like I did on my Wii U), that doesn't mean I consider it an ' entertainment center that also plays games'. It's a game console first.
The Switch isn't any different and apps like Netflix would be very useful. That wouldn't make the Switch an 'entertainment center that also plays games', it's still a game console.
@dleec8 so your girlfriend bought an Xbox One just to use Netflix? You think people buy PS4's just for that? When you can get a cheap media player or Chromecast for a few bucks?
And they call it a media center. Stop lying bro. You gave her your old Xbox 360 so you can Netflix and chill, or she lives with other people. Or you don't even have a girlfriend
@dleec8 'For example, many fans of the PlayStation and Xbox really do see them as entertainment centers that also play games. '
Lol that is the dumbest ''''example'''' I ever heard. Nobody thinks of their PlayStation as an 'entertainment center'. I never heard anyone ever saying that. It's a console. You must be confused with the Nintendo ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
And because it's hooked up to your tv, it's easy to boot up Netflix, and you can resume the game right after that. Stop these dumb excuses
@gortsi The original hardware doesn't have HDMI output and can't be played on the gamepad. I still own them too, but it's a hassle to have all consoles connected to your tv's. Plus that still does not change the fact that the Wii U offers more at the moment.
The fact that you talk about school tells everything. That's way in the past bruah. I probably make more than your parents combined.
@gortsi I see you have no arguments. Just like I thought. It's hard to argue that NES games are better than being able to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Melee and Killer 7 on the Wii U.
@gortsi lol what's wrong with you? The Wii U is better than the Switch up until this point. More third party triple A titles, backwards compatibility with every Nintendo console(including Wii, DS and Gamecube), Smash4, tokyo mirage sessions, netflix, better online and so on. Stop trolling you hypetrain sheep
@Paraka I always see people in my PS4 friend list playing those monthly games(like Destiny 2 last month). Besides those games there are huge multiplayer games like GTA, FIFA, Battlefield, Overwatch, Destiny 2, Monster Hunter Worlds, Street Fighter 5, Far Cry 5 and so on. And the social aspect is way better.
@geheimxy you think those are great numbers? I would expect games like Sonic, Dragon Quest Builders to do much better on a Nintendo platform. Rocket League: why do you talk about physical copies all of a sudden. Bomberman had decent sales because it was one of the very few launch games.
I'm happy that you are impressed, I'm not. That's basically why there has only been one real third party exclusive(Octopath Traveler, unless you count a Mario game) in the 1.5 years that the Switch is on the market. EA, Ubisoft and Activision, Capcom, Konami and so on are barely supporting the platform
@geheimxy 5% is way less than 10%, just like I said. And also it's more near 1% than it's near 10%. That's actually really sad.
5% means they might release some older games or port if it's relatively little work. It also means it's not worth making any Switch exclusives, because, like you said, they care about profit. And it can't be profitable to create something from scratch exclusively for the Switch if you would've sold multiple times more on any other platform.
@BubbleMatrix82 I have zero clue where you are talking about. I say that Switch online is a horrible service compared to other services out there and you keep talking about VC, boot times, millenials, 200kb resources of the main menu and so on. It doesn't make any sense. None of that has anything to do with why the service is bad.
You argue like a girl and seems to have a really hard time reading. I am not acting surprised in the least. I totally expected the service to be bad, just like every other online Nintendo service.
Strawman? You were the one who was talking about how I didn't know how the internet works. So you're a network engineer. Aka somebody who couldn't code their way out of a wet paper bag and AKA you should stay far away from everything that has end users have to touch. That's ok. We still appreciate what you do, even though you have a hard time interacting with people.
Now bring me a McDouble sandwich and go play NES games.
@BubbleMatrix82 You don't make any sense. It has nothing to do with 'having faith in cloud computing' but everything with not being impressed by a weak service with old NES games, no voice chat and barely any online games. They are more than a decade behind Microsoft and Sony.
Why do you keep talking about VC? I never even mentioned it once, lol. You are obsessed with those. I don't care about 30 year old NES games. Already played them 20+ years ago.
Nobody asked for those NES games in the first place.
It's not like there was a big poll/survey about what features gamers want for their online service and everybody responded with: NES GAMES!
Your posts are all over the place. What do you do for a living?
@BubbleMatrix82 'I think you don't know how the internet works at all.'
Too bad you're wrong like many times before. I'm a web developer and perfectly know what *aaS solutions are. You're just assuming stuff and rambling on about irrelevant stuff like Final Fantasy and anti-virus software. You know what they say about assumptions being the mother of all...
Your expected tiers are nothing more than fanboy fantasies. There is nothing that indicates that Nintendo will be offering Gamecube games for $60 a year.
You won't be streaming Switch games. The hardware isn't powerful enough, that's why they disabled video recording in some games and why the quality is terrible in other games.
You use a lot of words but don't say much. I don't judge services on what you might or might not get in the future, I judge them based on what they offer now. Because that's what you're paying for. You're paying for this month or year, not for imaginary Gamecube games in the year 2020.
@penamiguel92 barely noticable from 1080p to 4K? Yeah if you're blind. Cellphones have higher resolutions than 1080p.and resolution is just part of the improved graphics in most games. FIFA switch isn't nearly as immersive.
@Kinoen You need 500. Kinda worth it though. Finishing that was the only thing that gave me a buzz. Don't watch Youtube videos though, figure it out yourself.

Re: Hardware Review: NS Glasses 3D VR Headset for Switch
@gauthieryannick VR already took off, it just isn't mainstream yet.
I own a PSVR and it's amazing. So many creative ideas and experiences, the true Nintendo feeling of this generation of consoles.
The reviews of Astro Bot seem to indicate that it's the most innovative 3D platformer of this generation. I will wait for the demo next week.
VR is the biggest leap since Mario 64.
But hey, sheep are always late to the party.
Re: Nintendo Developer Talks About The Process Behind WarioWare's Nose-Picking Game

Re: Review: The World Ends With You: Final Remix - A Stylish Reimagining Of The DS Cult Classic
I don't like to use the touchscreen of the switch. Period.
This is a great game on mobile though. I feel like the mechanics are suited for a small screen.
This game needed a proper sequel(or spiritual sequel in the same style), although that might be difficult because of the story.
BTW does this one have an option for Japanese dubs? Both voices and music.

Much more fans do not.

Unsurprisingly, another 90/100 on NintendoLife.
At least FIFTEEN 90/100 games released for the Switch in about a month. This must be the best time ever.
Re: Nintendo Adding Three More Games To Switch Online NES Library Next Week
Lol, meanwhile on the other side:
And this is a weak month after Destiny 2, Here They Lie and God of War Remastered for free in September.
Gotta love the: 'NintendoLife gave this game 8/10 and most other reviewers about a 7/10'

Re: UK Charts Reveal That Just 1% Of FIFA 19 Sales Were On Switch, Physical Launch Sales Tumble

Just because it sold more than on the PS4.

Re: UK Charts Reveal That Just 1% Of FIFA 19 Sales Were On Switch, Physical Launch Sales Tumble
@Kenology I don't count indies as third party developers. That's a whole different story. Indie games are doing great, everything else not so much.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online Prepaid Cards "Selling Extremely Well", Says Major Japanese Retailer
Yup, people just buy it to play one or two games (Splatoon 2 and Smash for me, some Puyo Puyo Tetris). Not because it's a good service.

That they say they are happy does not mean it's anywhere near the other versions in sales. Not at all.
Third party games don't sell on Nintendo consoles.
