@electrolite77 yeah I don’t disagree, it was the hardware however, as it is pretty much a switch in all sense and purposes. The redesign switch was the one.
10 Million launch is fantastic! But on the flip side, if you compare it to the PS5 say, they just didn’t have the stock. What we see here is fantastic organisation and prep work by Nintendo. Lifetime sales I would assume, make it a raging success (like Switch).
@electrolite77 I believe it was at least 50% naming convention. Everywhere and everyone I’ve ever spoken to says similar. I quite enjoyed the WiiU was quirky.
I think it’s a little premature to say the switch2 is hugely successful, I don’t doubt it will / could be.
@Omarzy Yeah I agree, but that was because majority of people didn’t understand due to the name and advertising side. I even had gamer friends who were confused about it. (WiiU).
We cannot blame it on politics, I do not believe that for one second. Lineup, maybe yeah. Console itself, more likely.
I’m a diehard Nintendo fan and I don’t have or particularly desire the switch2 (yet).
@ShadLink glitchy mess, it was something of great beauty. The very fact you glossed over the fact it started everything doesn’t and won’t ever sit well with me.
I want Nintendo to do well. I will inevitably get a switch2 at some point, most likely if they do a lite version. As at this size, it is not a handheld it’s more of a tablet which I hate.
Also I do not support and will not support GKC or digital only products, I’m just old fashioned and see these things as a route to streaming games.
Nintendo of late has been loosing their magic for me, but I want them to do well. Switch 1 had some incredible games and I know they still have it in them.
If I had a wish, it was we had a tiny handheld again and a home console, I don’t “love” the hybrid only path. But I understand why.

Re: The US Suffered Its Worst November Since 1995 In Terms Of Hardware Sales
@Kiyata I agree, I think once the switch 2 gets a decent line up “maybe” a lot more people will be tempted.
Unpopular opinion, but I think making a switch 2 wasn’t the move. They should have mixed it up, with something brand new and shiny.
Re: The US Suffered Its Worst November Since 1995 In Terms Of Hardware Sales
@Nanoline52 or Switch > Switch2

Always regret that they never made the (R) joycon, sad times.

If the joy cons were half a size smaller I would be in, too huge.

So it’s not an Octopath Traveller?
From a certain point of view …

Re: The First Review For Octopath Traveler 0 Is In
@8bit-Man it’s on switch OG if you’re interested, it’s not graphically demanding so should play fine

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - SNES Classic Mini Console
@shiningpikablu252 exactly so I’m right 🤓
Different languages as it’s sold in other countries with different base language.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - SNES Classic Mini Console
@tektite_captain it’s because it has the UK and French age rating on (I think) could be a legal acquirement.

@BenAV I came here to say pretty much the exact same thing.
If you have time to announce DLC or “extra content” then put it all on the cartridge !
Major turn off.

Everything else after that, nowhere even close.

@ShadLink worse Pokémon list I’ve ever seen. 🥲

Re: Nintendo Reportedly Increases Switch 2 Production To 25 Million Units For Year 1
@sd7232 not far off 😅
Not a handheld for me. 3DS was a fantastic size, switch lite was probably as large as I’m willing to go for a “Handheld device”
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Increases Switch 2 Production To 25 Million Units For Year 1
I want Nintendo to do well. I will inevitably get a switch2 at some point, most likely if they do a lite version. As at this size, it is not a handheld it’s more of a tablet which I hate.
Also I do not support and will not support GKC or digital only products, I’m just old fashioned and see these things as a route to streaming games.
Nintendo of late has been loosing their magic for me, but I want them to do well. Switch 1 had some incredible games and I know they still have it in them.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
@ArcticEcho and Red and Blue were the best of all time. Closely followed by Silver and Gold
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
@Navi first time ever, I’m not.
Re: Poll: Is It About Time Game Freak Added Voice Acting To Pokémon?
Yes it requires voice acting. But that would require some effort, which the games sell like hot cakes for minimal effort.
