@Pichuka97 I noticed that, too! All of the people are in the 5-foot-something range and here is this wide-eyed midget jumping and climbing on buildings! I can hear it in my head in a New York-styled accent in my head, "Hey Vinnie. Some midget is jumping on buildings!" "Are you serious? Get outta heah!"
@MadameSpuki Another thing that came to mind is the fact that the Switch could ACTUALLY be a knockout and the kept it in short supply until the holidays to keep people talking about it. I hope that they won't make it as disastrous as the NES Mini, and actually give a decent supply around the time of E3 2017. Because If they keep it TOO short of supply, the same group of developers that they have been getting mushy with could EASILY say, "Never again!"
@rjejr Dude, that was SO worth the bandwidth! And it never fails. Ever. People ask constantly why companies do that, and to which I respond, "Capitalism, b***h", which is basically what EVERY large company/supplier says.
Maybe they will do a mini charge-only dock in the future? Because nobody but the creators know about the battery life when it's away from the dock, and if it's only a few hours, Houston, we have a problem.
I think what will COMPLETELY solve this is a sizzle reel. At least before Christmas. That will alleviate ALL of this "will it or won't it" nonsense that's giving everybody a headache.
@Menchi187 @manu0 Oh, yeah... Sorry, was too initially hyped. Then initially pissed. I know it was some legalese on there concerning copyright stuff... My bad...
@A01 I know they were shells, but here's the thing. Nintendo has went MONTHS without telling us as much of a morsel of news except "It's a portable hybrid console" which we all knew. Then they come along and fart this out and immediate reaction is LOOK AT THE GAMES!!
THEN WHY PUT IT IN THE TRAILER??!! For crap's sake, they could've AT LEAST put a warning there saying "Games and content are subject to change". That way, not too many people will be pissed!

Re: Talking Point: Is the Nintendo Switch a Handheld or Console? Does it Matter?
@mdfezasmbroxeno In that case, a Switch is WAAAAAY more than $300!
Re: Talking Point: Is the Nintendo Switch a Handheld or Console? Does it Matter?
It's a console that you can continue to play when the lights go out. What more do you need?

Re: Nintendo UK Promises More NES Classic Mini Stock Before Santa Arrives
The Switch is going to encounter this same EXACT issue. 2 million at launch.... Sheesh!

So they wanted it to look like the Mega Man X games in the PS1 days? That would've been nice, but the old NES would choke like crazy...

Re: Report Suggests Nintendo Switch Won't Be Offered With a Portable-Only Bundle at Launch
