@NEStalgia thankfully they have put a lot of advertising time into zelda and showing how big the game world is and how you can play it on the move. The motion control games are there but are taking a backseat mostly.
@NEStalgia what's truly impressive is the amount of cash Nintendo made with the Wii. It's staggering and I thought it was an average console.
Mario kart 8 deluxe is a system seller in my eyes. People who skipped the Wii U may not have even seen it before (casuals) and think that Mario kart alone is enough to buy a switch. That and zelda should make sure the initial switch sales are very good.
@gaga64 actual software figure was around 917 million so probably $3 billion dollars worth of games sold, just on Wii, which is totally ridiculous and shows how Nintendo can basically just do what they want regardless businesswise. They have so much cash it's unreal. Christ knows how much they made from accessories
@gatorboi352 @gatorboi352 well mario kart 8 on Wii U sold as many copies as call of duty on Xbox one. Admittedly the Xbox one is a declining console that hasn't faired too well like the Wii U but still healthy games sales. The problem wasn't the games on the Wii U. They sold very well considering just wasn't enough of them and a big install base to sell them too
@duffmmann I remember being annoyed having to buy memory cards for ps2, and GameCube, and xbox360. They were like £20 and had little memory in reality. Purely for game saves! And people moan about SD cards? Lol
Pre ordered a Grey Switch, zelda and Mario kart 8 deluxe when it's released. Not bothered about sd card really. Only games I'll download digitally are indie games. May buy a screen protector and some new earphones!
@lemonjellydude I bought it day one and still play it every couple of days! Great little game, with quite a bit of depth to it. Puts most mobile games to shame quite frankly!
@TheLZdragon I agree, but I don't like being harassed by one of your moderators. Maybe he should use a less threatening tone in future and it's not necessarily the best way to communicate
@Joeynator3000 agreed but kids swear too, they don't have their heads buried in the sand at school. And nobody was complaining. But for you , Joey, I'll refrain from bad language if it makes you happier.
@ottospooky lol Nintendo are just covering YOU the consumer if your battery happens to fail. Would you rather they said nibelsnarf you buy a new switch?
@impurekind it's not an issue though is it. I've preordered a switch so not sure what your problem is? One thing for sure is that's there isn't even over 1000 comments on these forums so rest assured that you and I here aren't not the whole gaming community. How many did the Wii U sell, 13 million? How's many members here? Not many in comparison. Stop acting like commenting on the internet means anything!

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Expects Nintendo Switch To Sell "About As Well" As The Wii
@gaga64 didn't the Wii sell 100 million and also 900 million software units aswell. I'd say the attach rate was gigantic
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Expects Nintendo Switch To Sell "About As Well" As The Wii
@alasdair91 not if Nintendo can get enough parents of 8 year olds to buy it. I thinking 45-50 million

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Responds to Criticism Over the Switch Launch Line-Up

Re: Official Hori Nintendo Switch Micro SD Cards Set a Handy Benchmark

@PlywoodStick perfect for collectors!👍🏻
Re: Nintendo Details UK Pre-Order Bonuses For Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
@NintySnesMan cool! I'd stay away from the switch if I were you. It's much too cool for someone like you
Re: Official Hori Nintendo Switch Micro SD Cards Set a Handy Benchmark
@PlywoodStick so buy a cheaper one. I could care less
Re: Feature: The Rollercoaster Ride of Nintendo's Financial Reports
@XCWarrior but they aren't that expensive. Unless you don't have a job I guess
Re: Feature: The Rollercoaster Ride of Nintendo's Financial Reports
@XCWarrior just play the games they do release and enjoy them bud.
Re: Gallery: Micro SD Card Slot Shown Off In Ridiculously Close-Up Nintendo Switch Photos
@LiberatedAnimal who cares, that like saying you won't buy anything ever as there may be a new improved version down the line. Pointless
Re: Official Hori Nintendo Switch Micro SD Cards Set a Handy Benchmark
@RainbowGazelle just saying people want stuff for nothing these days like it's a god given right.

@Joeynator3000 didn't realize it was kindergarten. Sorry for offending everyone with a word
Re: Nintendo Will Replace Your Dead Switch Battery, At A Cost
@Joeynator3000 what is Lz just to clarify? And it doesn't say no swearing in the community rules.
Re: Nintendo Will Replace Your Dead Switch Battery, At A Cost
@Yorumi it doesn't have a battery so what's your point?
Re: Nintendo Will Replace Your Dead Switch Battery, At A Cost
@Yorumi prob be playing a different console by then to be honest
Re: Nintendo Will Replace Your Dead Switch Battery, At A Cost
@Yorumi who knows. I can't see it being a problem though. If it's dies just order a new one from Nintendo. No big deal
Re: Nintendo Will Replace Your Dead Switch Battery, At A Cost
@Yorumi maybe it's a custom battery?
