I actually prefer using my smart TV for the streaming platforms. It also saves me storage on my consoles since I'd rather use the storage for games rather than media apps. Sure they don't take much space, but I'd still rather use the storage for games as much as possible.
Switch however is the only exception and I do download the very few media apps it has. It is the system I bring around the most, so it's nice for the convenience to just dock it to any TV that isn't a smart TV or the media app isn't available in said TV. I especially love it when I spend nights at hotels and just putting my Switch on the hotel TV and watch my content there after a few games. Really such an amazing feeling!
Hopefully Nintendo will prioritize more media apps on the next gen Switch.
@Vyacheslav333 That's the point. It was thanks to Microsoft they're bringing back Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms for the first time since Black Ops II on Wii U in 2012.
However, as I said before, the acquisition just got done and it takes time before any progress begins. But it's nice to know it's confirmed Nintendo will be getting same treatment as other platforms.
If I recalled correctly, Sakurai did say that the file size for the base Smash game uncompressed is over 60GB! And it's crazy that all that is compressed to under 16GB.
Wish other companies can learn a thing or two from Nintendo when it comes to compression.
I completely agree with them. It's just embarrassing that The Pokémon Company is a multi billion dollar corporation can't even make a better looking shovelware game for $2.
Let's be real, this is all before the price increase of the PS5 worldwide. We've seen people are upset worldwide, especially Japan. But who knows if people will eventually stop complaining and bite into the price increase later down the line.
Not a bad update overall, especially since the activity log is now being displayed correctly. The Facebook and Twitter integration is really handy too! Sure, underwhelming for a X.0 update, but it's overall good.
@Kienda Not necessarily. If the Switch is charging, the battery icon will be green. If it's fully charged, it'll turn white. The video shows the system being fully charged
Played the games when it was on Wii U, but never owned them, so I used friend's copy instead. But finally I can get them on my hands with the Switch versions.
Yes, it was a true pain to access the eShop yesterday. My cousin got a Switch for Christmas and had to help him download Splatoon 2 since the eShop was all jank. XD
And Mr. Hideki was really mad about people mentioning Bayo 3 on Twitter up to a point to cuss and block people. No wonder he was like that, he wanted to keep it as a surprise.
Eyy, as I went to that school for an orchestra competition there a year ago, I have heard about that teacher. How nice of the students to get him a Nintendo Switch.
@ShockFire10 A game shouldn't be judged by the sales, but the games were released on consoles that weren't doing good, even the GameCube didn't do so hot.
@GC-161 They haven't made a non Sonic game recently (with the exception of Puyo Puyo) but I'm pretty they'll be able to do a decent job pulling it off.
Sega (specifically Sonic Team) should stop making Sonic games and instead make reboots of their old IPs. Let's have a new Jet Set Radio, Super Monkey Ball, Crazy Taxi, etc. Its been proven that Sonic Team doesn't make good Sonic games anymore.
The Nintendo Switch might just be my favorite console of all time now! Sorry N64, but you just got dethroned. The Switch is truly a step beyond the Wii U. (My least favorite Nintendo console.)
My only issue with the game is the dreadful loading times and online play. For a card game it should not take as long as BotW to load. And why the heck is 2GB big? For crying out loud, it's a card game! The DSiWare version is less than 100MB!
The online is just bad with constant disconnects combined with the terrible loading times sometimes makes it look like it crashed. (Which happened twice) Luckily, it offers a local co-op mode, but that's the only local multiplayer mode you'll get.
Overall, not bad, just needs to be ironed out. Ubisoft needs to fix the loading times, and fix the online mode. And as well add more offline options since there isn't much to do.
I'm both excited and disappointed. Excited because it's animated and not live action. Disappointed because it's being made by Illumination. Not that they're a bad studio, but they make mediocre films at best. (Dispicable Me being their only good film)
But since Miyamoto is gonna be producer, I have a little hope. His involvement with the Pikmin shorts was outstanding, so hopefully he can do good with a full length feature film.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE The salt in you is real. We get that you love your Wii U . You can't handle the fact that not only Wii U is dead but it's also being slaughtered by the Switch.
@NinNin
The retailer pays a fee so they won't get sued by Nintendo. Then they won't be receiving new Nintendo stuffs by launch day. Knowing how the Switch and related accessories sells like hotcakes, the retailer will lose potential profit.

There's some games I would never buy buy at full price, such as 1 2 Switch and any sports games.
Re: Awesome: Meet The Ultimate Nintendo Switch Game Collector
@Fazermint
Now now, no need to jump to those extremes either. Switch has its fair share of bad games too. Evey platform has bad games.

As unfortunately as it sounds, I'll skip this title. I refuse to give money to EA.
