@Anti-Matter I don't believe there will be any different colored Nintendo Switch's any time soon. Since Nintendo can't even keep up with the demand. Your best option is just buying different colored Joy-Cons.
Wow the Nintendo fan base has loads of Megaman fans, but yet they port the game to Xbox, and yet there audience of gamers are less interested in platformers.
@EternalDragonX I was disappointed in ARMS also, the gameplay felt mediocre to me to be a full priced $60 game, I canceled my preorder. If ARMS was priced cheaper maybe I will buy it one day.
I will be getting Splatoon 2 day one that's for sure!
@Darius_Truxton You are 100% correct. Every person I know that owns a Nintendo Switch got the system for Zelda, Mario Kart, and got sold on the TV / Portability concept. Motion controls are not a selling point.
The Motion controls on ARMS are just ok, but still don't match up compared to traditional consoles.
@aaronsullivan I know calling ARMS Wii Boxing 2.0 sounds harsh, but Nintendo is trying to say that the Joy-con are better than the Wii remotes, but they feel exactly the same when it comes to motion controls. I might be judging this game to early, but from playing the testpunch I haven't been impressed.
@NEStalgia I believe you're right unless Nintendo comes out with a new Nintendo switch model that has an additional port for a GPU based dock. So I guess our only option for the original Switch would be more of a cloud-based solution, but I think cloud computing is still not where it needs to be.
Nintendo working with Nvidia is truly a great combination. With Nvidia's GPU tech and knowledge on SLI we can end up with a future Switch Dock that has it's on GPU to give the Switch an even greater performance boost and graphical capabilities. This could open the door to VR games or 4K gaming in docked mode, if Nintendo sees the demand for it.
I actually got a little emotional watching that trailer, it was beautiful. (This was the Sonic I enjoyed growing up) I haven't been this hyped for a Sonic game since Sonic & knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, and Sonic Adventure 2.
What engine was this game made with? Legend of Zelda breath of the wild is a beautiful and massive games running at 900p when docked and Mario Kart 8 is 1080p docked. It's not the biggest deal but I don't want developers making inferior ports on the switch, hopefully this can be patched.
I had a blast with Mario Kart Super Circuit, me and my buddy's would link up on our Gameboy Advance's for some 4 player action every morning before class. Also single cart play was a great way to share the game, I believe the DS version you could do the same thing in sharing the game on a single chart as well.
Also at the time Mario Kart Super Circuit was visually stunning at the time and played great, it feels like a fusion of Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64.
I would also like to see Mission Mode from Mario Kart DS to make a comeback, it was super fun.
This is so awesome, I always imagined of owning the SNES/PlayStation, its also fun of thinking of a alternate reality were Sony and Nintendo are partners in the Video game industry.
Nintendo said in one of their directs that they are holding off from giving anyone/developer a Switch dev kit. The Switch needs to look its best for at least the next two years with top quality games, to the smaller developers be patient you will get your chance in due time.
Please stop being fanboy's people, If the new Call of Duty comes to the Nintendo Switch than that is a win win for everyone! FPS fans can get a great shooter on their own Nintendo switch, Plus this will improve casual support for the system which in case would drive more sales. If Call of Duty sales well on the Nintendo switch this will catch the eyes of many other third party developers, leading us in having more Games coming to our little favorite hybrid system.
I don't care if you like Call of Duty or not but we need any AAA third-party game that we can get!
No its Konomi being lazy. It's not the Switch being under powered. Nintendo is running Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch at 1080p @ 60fps, so it's not the Switch.
Personal question, you used to have good posts about two years ago, but now all your posts are negative and bitter for some reason?

Re: ARMS Producer Would Love To See The Game Embraced As An eSport
I don't think so, especially for how inaccurate motion controls can be some times. Also ARMS is just Wii boxing 2.0.

Just kidding, that's a great price. Hopefully this will help improve Nintendo's online offerings and network servers.
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild Director Says the Game’s Design Could Become the New Standard
More loot, more weapons, a locker to store more items in your house, and some classic dungeons would be fantastic!

Re: Unreal Engine Adds Full Native Support For Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch is now completely off to a better start than Wii U.
With easy development tools like Unreal and the Switch selling well, the Switch should be hitting DS level popularity.

Re: NBA 2K18 Shaquille O'Neal Special Editions Coming to Nintendo Switch
I would like to have Madden even though I only buy one copy every other year since I don't fall for that yearly updated roster stuff.
I might buy NBA 2K18 once it's on sale.
But what I really want is NBA jam and NFL Blits to come on the Switch!
Re: Video: The SNES PlayStation Prototype Is Now In Full Working Order, Thanks To Ben Heck
In terms of company back stabbing SONY is the worst of the big three. Sony rarely innovates and only copies their competition.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Nintendo 2DS XL?
The New Nintendo 3DS XL is the best 3DS.
I don't like the 2DS systems, because 3D is really cool sometimes, it's what makes the 3DS special.
