@SLIGEACH_EIRE I felt only Guesspionage would have been better if I was American. All the rest are broad enough that it doesn't matter and have been a real blast for me and my family on PS4 that we had to rebuy on Switch. And we would rebuy 1 and 2 as well.
@brutalpanda Well if you enjoyed Batman v Superman then you'll enjoy Halo 4 & 5 and WWE and everything else that has big action and big emotions at the expense of strong plot and strong character writing. If you know what you like, you can then work out what products hit your taste buds the best.
Personally I need strong character and plots and world building to be the focus, with action and emotion to match the way each character would react to things in the plot.
@GameOtaku If the NES mini wasn't a bewildering runaway success then Nintendo would have been able to make more Switches. But both are far more popular and successful than intended dared to dream. Nobody thought the Switch would sell what it has, Nintendo had no reason to make more initially, and has already ramped up production.
@Alshain01 That's my point - get a PC for better performance of multiplatforms and all the PC exclusives and a Nintendo Switch for the only non-PC gaming experience with innovative console and games.
@Alshain01 if you want power ignore the home console market and get a PC where you only miss out on a few games and everything is far cheaper. Or wait for the Switch Plus Dock (my analysis) which will have a built in fan as well as extra processing power.
But we can argue just as much that the Switch is the only true home console whereas PS4 and Xbox One are media units with games, and only the Switch is a dedicated games console. Back isn't white after all.
I wonder if having the launch month away from the holiday period was a stroke of genius? You get launch month sakes and holiday sales - does having your launch month at the holiday period cannibalise sales?
@Flowerlark You know that people can buy a Wii U and get Breath of the Wild, Twilight Princess HD and Windwaker HD on it, right? Especially if they don't care about brand new, it's not hard to pick up a cheap 2nd hand Wii U.
It was pretty terrible, I would have deleted it quick if it was a free phone game. I got it free for trading games in, so at least I will end up ahead, being able to sell a game that I got for free.
I think he was the Wii U's harshest critic and really he was right about its failure, no matter how much we loved the console. He is confident that the Switch is going to be different.
They wouldn't be planning anymore with the movie due out in less than a year, and it would be roetty dodgy for then to say they are planning it if he's not already in. So we can assume Mario is in it.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE maybe you shouldnt just pay attention to us hardcores and talk to all the other people who have bought their fist Nintendo console for 10 to 20 years, or ever.
@Hotfusion It seems like while 10 m is the conservative estimate, 20 m is the top end of their expectations, and would likely assume somewhere in the middle is what will be reality.
@RobinskiIV Yeah, that means he's a white supremacist, ie a racist. Caucasian skin and western culture and anyone in it are better than anyone from all other groups who should be excluded. That's the definition of racism. These people are over emotional and want nanny state laws to protect hem from their irrational fears, and are the real PC brigade who think the term 'racism' isn't PC.
@AlternateButtons You hate how people get labelled as a racist when they say a bunch of racist things, how sad for you. You do know what it actually means, right?
Meanwhile the government of Australia has said there's no reason to follow suit. Note that UK, US and Australia all have right wing governments, but with US the most extreme and Australia the least extreme, which is why it's rare for Australia to make crazy decisions based on phobias.
@ProjectCafe Most attacks in western countries are by white multi-generational citizens. But even if these white people have a political ideal as the reason for their attack, it's never called terrorism. Dark skinned attackers are terrorists, white skinned attackers are troubled, no matter why an attack was made. Recent French school shooting people blamed Muslims until it was announced that it was the son of a far right wing politician. It's confirmation bias in action, and a belief that facts and stats to the contrary are "pc conspiracies".
@Meaty-cheeky They aren't banned from flights, they are banned from being with you in the cabin during a flight. More bombs have been in shoes and underwear than electronics, so let's ban the wearing of clothes on flights as well.
@Bunkerneath Of course anyone flying to one of those countries will have to fly back as well. If I was in such a dilemma, I would fly from one of those countries to another country not on that list and then to US or UK just so I could play my Switch.
@BornInNorway81 Switch OS far more stable, faster and also better organised than Wii U. But I feel both are ahead of PS4 and Xbox One is a horrible bloated mess, brought by the same company behind Windows Vista.
@TheLobster Well you'd need to get more info, while it feels like there might be a stock correction coming soon, that may not be the case while there is only positive news.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE In Australia, you could pay more than double the price for lesser non Amiibo figures, which is why Amiibo became so highly sought after here. Their popularity also drove down the prices of the other figures that still mostly didn't look anywhere as good as Amiibo.
@Qun_Mang Nintendo should bring out their own Virtual Amiibo app, allowing people to buy every single one for a small fee each, even all the cards. As long as the price is right, customers are happy and Nintendo makes money.
@Grumblevolcano It's the third time you can buy the game, and the second time since the very recent PS3 versions. Ghost Recon is totally new. I think Square need to be careful that they don't kill the KH golden goose.

Okay, avoid.

Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
Mario Maker was the Wii U game that generated Nintendo the most mainstream attention and should come to the Switch.
Re: Early Stock Market Activity Suggests Switch Could Be A Bigger Hit Than The Wii
@Peach64 experts predicted he Wii U would struggle and experts predict the Switch will do quite well, as long as Nintendo take all the right steps.
