My dream for the switch would be to see 50 games off the bat. 10 titles each from nintendo, 2nd party, 3rd party, and Indies. The last 10 being ports that got no love on wii u. A games resolution!
I hope the "premium" bundle is more than double the entry 32gb space if that's a thing. Then again, they could face another fiasco with the basic/premium bundle of the wii u.
32 GB internal storage huh. If expandable to 128 GB via MicroSD then the cheapest I found is a gigastone branded one for $30 w/o shipping thrown in. I can do 30 bucks.
@JLPick I find ports would be good. 2 reasons: it gives people who never played the wii u and therefore missed out, an opportunity to try them. It gives nintendo time to prep new releases of current IP or generate new UP. While I get ports aren't the answer they also don't hurt when attracting old/new customers into the nintendo fold IMO
@allav866 mario run is coming out for IPhones as a timed release. Most likely because developing for IPhones is easier because there is no fragmentation and the dev environment is stable
I used to own path of radiance, made a bundle off of it when i found out it was valuable. I would love to play sunshine and luigi mansion. Never got to play them plot more than an hour
I've always wanted to play this game. Unfortunately I just don't have the time for an epic this long. It also doesn't help that the wii u gamepad battery died on me and haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. Maybe one day, possibly on the switch if it's ported on it.
I must be blind. How does everyone here know that the frame rates dip? If you have software that lets you measure the frame rate from a stream and at this point a video, let me know. Show me proof. I enjoyed it. I'm not defending nintendo or anything, but I want actual evidence. That's all i ask.
Didn't know how slow it was since I have the new 3ds. Wow. I'm spoiled now. Couldn't deal with the delay unless I cooked up a meal or a trip to the john
@AlexOlney My wife and I think you are rather charming. Your videos never bore me. Though there are times I wonder If you try too hard. On the other hand, I kinda expect you to appear on Doctor who for some reason.
Packing in splatoon will sell the system. It will make people curious as those who see nintendo launches usually see mario titles as a given for a launch game and sometimes dismiss the system as "typical" nintendo. Mixing it up will pique some customers interest IMO
@Varathius what does being a millennial have to do with this? Everyone talks trash about the generation that comes after them. I'm sure they said the same thing about your generation lol
Then, one by one, those 50 or so devs/publishers state the same thing in different words and bam, nintendo only has themselves to rely on for content for the switch, history repeats itself and nintendo loses out on sales, they bleed money, finally exiting the console business going third party and existing as a shell of its former self!!!!!! Arrrggghhh!!!!!!!
Didn't even know this existed. This also isn't anything new. Just add it to the pile of all the games that said they might be coming to wii u but ultimately never did
I have this odd feeling that nintendo signed a deal with all these companies to get games on the system if nintendo agreed to foot half of cost to port/create games for the system. That way they don't immediately abandon the system if it does flop.
@Dogorilla I think that's temporary specifically for the halloween event. Plus it's getting cold(in US East Coast) and nobody wants to walk that long lol
Careful now... it'll be a trailer talking about how awesome it will be, testimony from miyamoto on how long they worked on it, followed by another Iwata tribute and in the last 10 seconds, show a still image of the nx.
@Bass_X0 I personally don't care about the spoilers. It's just one of those things where the data miners are mining because they can. Why not, I don't know, leave the surprises intact. A little mystery never hurt...unless it's the nx..then yes, hunt it down!

Re: Guide: Getting Started In Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy well that's not very challenging. I had bought 100 ultra balls in anticipation.
Re: Guide: Getting Started In Pokémon Sun and Moon
Some additional benefits in battle from Pokemon refresh also include:
-Waking up from sleep status the same turn it was induced
-surviving 1 hit KOs
Side note: catching pokemon is a lot easier now. I caught solgaleo on 1st throw of ultra ball. Caught a level 41 wimped with a dusk ball

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch To Start At £199.99 In United Kingdom, $329.99 In Canada
Well I'm assuming 250 USD for just the console/dock. 300 w/ game. 350 for a premium bundle including pro controller and game. Just a thought.
