@WilliamCalley But that's simply isn't the case. There were multiple videos, from E3 where there were a good number of moblins (at least five I want to say) with no frame rate issues. Where as this video only features 1-2 mobs and frame rate is suddenly an issue? Doesn't make sense even with Nintendo's numerous blunders.
This topic deserves a healthy dose of "Let's wait and see".
@Kimite Its funny you put this here as I was thinking that what a lot of people may perceive as frame rate issues is just exactly what this video is talking about.
@shosbu Yea AR is going to go a lot further than VR. I really hope they showcase capabilities more when the VR hype dies down....again...(always remember VR of the 90s).
@WilliamCalley You say "Comparing the frame rates of a 20 year old N64 game to Wii-U Zelda as if that's not a problem?
Some of you people make me shake my head at 240fps"
Yet you totally ignore all the footage from E3 that was run on Wii U with zero problems, and minimal mentions of frame rates issues or dips and use a less than 2 minute video of actual footage and cry "frame rate".
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this as I haven't seen every single review of the demo, but you can't use this video to justify your claims when there is almost hundreds of hours demo footage that says the contrary
@abbyhitter I personally think people should invest in pharma after the switch is release...so many people are going to be taking this into the bathroom....I see so many sick people in the future.
@riChchestM In all fairness you can't compare what's in one version with wasn't meant to be in another. While the Wii U version is the definitive version.
On its own merits maybe it is a good game, but in comparison to the Wii U its not. So its clear what the reviewer did to remain fair to the 3DS version of the game.
@therealgamer Don't lump me into this. I've been trying to get this site to realize that Dragon Ball: Fusions will be released next week (some people already have early copies in the states) for a good while now and all I see is Switch stuff. The only game that looks interesting to me is Zelda, and I'll be buying it for the Wii U.
The Switch is only intended for Die Hard fans, and those who went to Sony or M$. While I'm no casual, I tend to buy games that can last me a good while, possibly even a whole generation if I include the 3DS.
@MrGawain I'm with you, other than an agonizing wait for Zelda (if summer is indeed true) there is no need to get for a Wii U owner to immediately get a Switch, even by year's end next year. I'll likely buy Zelda on the Wii U anyway, even if there are some huge differences between the two, which I doubt.
Like I said in an earlier post, this line up is to appeal to all the people who solely went either PS4 or XB1 this generation. Its sad to say, but third party games is what's gonna see any sizable move from either of these two consoles.
@LegendOfPokemon Well they are trying to appeal to the people who didn't buy a Wii U and bought a PS4 or XB1. They'll get a chance to get the best of the Wii U, while getting the same games that the Sony, and M$ will get increasing the chances they'll buy a Switch.
Seems legit. The £199 price point would translate to $250, only for the base, and at about $315 at the £249.99 (as of today) which might be pushing it, in the US market at least.
I probably won't get this until this time next year. Still have some 3DS games to buy, along with a Wii U/3DS backlog to finish. Hopefully this will give the NS library time to grow, and maybe a few sales to come my way in the mean time.
It fairly clear he doesn't understand their business model well enough. Nintendo is known for their software more so than anything else. While their systems are great, ultimately we buy them because of Nintendo's excellent software. Their software alone, that isn't able to be played on any smartphone, will move units.
"As for what would be included in the box, Nintendo gave the same answer as they did to Takashi Mochizuki: the main unit, the Dock, the Joy Con detachable controllers (Left and Right), and that’s it."
@River3636 I still have tons of games on my Wii U, and some 3DS games they have yet to come out (Dragon Ball Fusions). Plus I need to wait on certain information: storage space, and price namely. I might wait until this time next yet to give the library some time to build up.
@rjejr I highly doubt all those controllers will be bundled together. Hell I'm skeptical about the pro controller-ish dock, for the two side controllers, is even included.
Funny thing I told my wife and she says "No your NOT getting one!" Then I showed her the video, she promptly says "YOUR NOT GETTING TWO!" I've never felt so victorious.

You can just stop these for Europe. We shouldn't expect anything good until January and February (at least for the 3DS).

Re: Dragon Ball Fusions
@Rei Totally nothing to do with Nintendo, was a Namco decision. That was a pretty fair review.
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off New Area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Yea I didn't notice any low frame rate. Is there a time stamp for what people are talking about?
I didn't watch it streamed I watched it after it was uploaded to youtube.

What's all this lack of a dock nonsense?
