@BornInNorway81 It does have parental controls. You can use your phone or the Switch itself to activate it. It does have a password protection. And you can share things to social media and not to the terrible Miiverse.
@BornInNorway81 The Wii U OS might have all kinds of bells and whistles, but let's be real. Most of the features were unnecessary and a waste of space. Miiverse is unnecessary. Warawara Plaza is unnecessary. Nintendo TVii is unnecessary. Wii U chat is unnecessary. Those fancy animations and colorful menu is unnecessary. The Switch OS gets straight to the point: games. A super simple OS that's fast and responsive. Also, not to mention a much better handling of taking screenshots the Switch can but not the Wii U.
I've been playing King of Fighters '98. I didn't notice anything to my experience. Maybe because I'm new to the FGC and never played the original arcade release. If an update is coming, then I guess that'll be great and a welcome thing.
Update:
Now that you guys mentioned it, I've been seeing huge sound delays. The punches SFX comes almost a second later after the attacks animation. Then with the announcer voice doesn't sync correctly with the displays. Now the patch is really needed.
There's no Day 1 DLC, so that makes it much better. I don't think people realize that you're just pre-purchasing the DLC that is set to release this summer (or getting delayed) and for doing so you get extra goodies for the wait.
@NintySnesMan That's still a different device. You're spending money for two devices. The Switch is in one device. Besides, it offers actual console gameplay on a handheld. Again, it's a hybrid. Vita is not a hybrid.
@NintySnesMan PS Vita TV is a different device. And you still need a PS4 or a PS3 and internet. The Nintendo Switch is all in one device, hence being a hybrid console
@NintySnesMan The Remote Play feature requires a PS3 or a PS4 and an Internet connection on the Vita. Also, it's all being streamed, not running on the actual Vita.
I really loved the parts where people were slacking off during school and work. I can see myself doing that!
But other than that, I think it's pretty good. Just like the first trailer, it's being targeted towards young adults.
The Switch is coming at a perfect time for me! The perfect console for college. I'll be getting the Switch as a graduation gift instead of the traditional class ring.
@shani I find Japanese voice acting extremely annoying. Especially with young female characters. Even though I don't watch anime, I'd still prefer English dubbed.
Miiverse needs to die and burn in the pits of hell. Miiverse is an abomination compared to social medias out there with their ridiculous rules and guidelines.
Good. The Wii U has become my least favorite Nintendo system. It looked promising, but more and more was disappointing about it. Everything about the system is a joke and a bad investment. It's time for Nintendo to kill the Wii U.
I'm also glad that the 3DS still has support! A much better system than the Wii U for sure.
On Nintendo of America's Twitter page, almost 24 hours after the presentation, they were looking for a Japanese and English bilingual translator. The poor dude got fired.
But in all seriousness, the Wii U is literally getting beaten to death. My Lord, I feel bad for the Wii U! So many games being moved to the Switch. That really kills not only the audience, but the system itself. The Wii U is suffering in a slow and painful death.
If you look at the game in person, it doesn't bad at all.
Reason why it looks bad on our phones and computers is because the 3DS screen resolution is being stretched to fit on our screens. The 3DS having a resolution of 400x240 being stretched to a screen that is 1920x1080. Of course it'll look bad.
Will definitely pick up the 3DS version even though I already have it on the Wii U.
And because I can't even share my levels on the Wii U version, (Miiverse is an abomination) at least with the 3DS version I can share my levels through StreetPass and Local Wireless.

Wii U is pathetic already. The game should have never been released on the Wii U.

Re: New Kid Icarus Awards Have Shown Up on My Nintendo in North America
Something decent at least. The Kid Icarus videos are very fun to watch! Sadly, that's the only good one. Discounts on games again I already own.

Glad I got this over the Wii U version.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Highlights the Nintendo Switch Boost in FAST RMX
Never got it on the Wii U, but I'm glad that I got the Switch version. Has amazing visuals in both TV and Handheld mode.
Re: My Nintendo Adds Snipperclips and Mario-Themed Smart Device / PC Wallpapers

Looking forward for the Switch rewards, but I'm not gonna expect big things.

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Expects Nintendo Switch To Sell "About As Well" As The Wii
Kimishima was one of the few people at Nintendo who correctly predicted the Wii U's failure.
100 million units is quite a stretch. I'd say about 20-40 million units at max. If it does reach 100 million, that'll be amazing for them.

Re: Warner Bros Resurrects Disney Infinity Studio Avalanche For Cars 3 Video Game
Cars 3 looks very promising. Cars 2 was an abomination and Pixar's worst movie ever made.
As for the game, licensed games tend to be crap, so I'm not looking forward to that.

I want to know what's happening. Not how good they are.

Re: Random: Of Course You Can't Fit The Nintendo Switch In Your Pocket

Re: Nintendo Switch Won't Have Miiverse Or StreetPass

Re: Review: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS (3DS)

Re: Super Mario Run Launch News Triggers Nintendo Share Price Rise
No thanks. I hate buying in app purchases. And for such a short and simple game for $10 is crazy expensive. Even $5 is still expensive.
Many endless runners are 99¢. That should've been the price. But oh well, guess I'll just get the APK file.
