This is the ultimate multiplayer support. Devs that put this much effort into their multiplayer gameplay need to be supported at all costs.

@NoxAeturnus That's a fair point, we don't really know how many people are using it almost exclusively mobile. Then again you look at Rocket League which is really a game you only enjoy online, and you see it's popularity was fairly large on the switch. Its been top 5/10 in sales ever since it came out. Of course these companies will send out surveys to get detailed info on how people play their switch. But just taking RL's sample, it seems like the right game will sell well regardless of online needs.

@NoxAeturnus Ok, ok I believe I understand what you're saying. What you're saying is an online connection may deter people from buying the game due to their use of their switch in mobile settings correct?

@NoxAeturnus Again I don't see why that would be a negative. Every other game console stays inside your house, and you play online games mostly at your house. So why wouldn't the same situation apply to the switch?

@NoxAeturnus Why would a constant online connection hamper it's usability on the Switch?

@NapalmPsalm Where is your profile picture from haha.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE If there's anything Nintendo always gets right, it's their packaging.

@Chrismakem Nooooooo, Vroom in the Night Sky is what I was referring to. That game is the purest form of shovelware.

@QwertyQwerty You mean an article telling people not to be surprised, at a time when they just received surprising news?

@ShadJV I hear you, I hear you. I just doubt Nintendo at the height of its value is going to come out and say "Hey guys we ran out of people to help make games, so expect low quality stuff for awhile". You have valid points about the Wii 2.0, I will say that.

@ShadJV Let's not act like this is some indie start up company. Nintendo could have as many resources as they want to pay for. Yes, you can fault what they may prioritize, but lack of resources is a problem Nintendo can solve instantly.

I mean reading this sounds pretty dang good, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

This is pretty unexpected not sure what to feel right now haha.

@spizzamarozzi @HappyMaskedGuy

1. To address Happy's point, I wouldn't describe a 23 year old man as a "kid". That's the age of a grown man to me, but that's not really important I guess.

2. I am really not well informed on how Amazon treats their employees, so I guess I'll take both of your words for it in this case.

3. For Spizz what was the result of the strike there I'm curious?

4. Where does the whole Amazon humiliating the man come into play? It seems as though he just walked out and was stopped at the door by security on duty. Is that not what happened?

@spizzamarozzi

"It's not the guy who should be ashamed."

Why is that exactly?

Considering the original had a barely functional online system, not sure why we would expect the best of the best.

It appears to be completely random as to what gets on. It's possible is based on projected sales, but then you look at the whatever the flying witch game is called and................

@Djgoa Why do you need 200 characters for a game to have content xD

@Djgoa I'm confused why would they not have content?

@cleveland124
" That wasn't my point though. It's stupid to say that Nintendo isn't looking into these things because there isn't enough market penetration. Because A, that's exactly what Nintendo does as an innovative company. And B, we all know that 4K is quickly becoming the standard and some Nintendo console will have 4K support."

1. Nintendo is an innovative company that's correct, and everytime they do they bet on themselves it will be successful. With 4k you're betting a foreign technology will be successful that's the difference. Until they feel like 4k is something families, not just hardcore gamers but families find neccesary they aren't jumping in.

2. From my previous post: "The point I'm making is it doesn't make sense to invest in those docks until 4K is closer to industry standard." You claim in your above post, that once it becomes standard Nintendo will take part in 4k. And that's what I've been saying all along, so what's your point?

"Just say the PR thing, "We are really excited about the Switch and all the features it brings to the market." No elitist we are smarter than everyone wasting their time on 4K and VR BS. Nobody is saying Nintendo needs to release a 4K Switch tomorrow, but when they say things like this I get the feeling they still don't understand the market at all."

I don't see anything elitist about saying "4K isn't mainstream, and our competitors clearly have a head start in the space. So we see no reason to jump in disadvantaged, just to fight for a slice of a niche market." Neither do I see anything elitist about pointing out they're concern with VR, as in my opinion it's a gimmick that's about 5 years from being remotely viable.

"Also, if you like frame rates you should love the Xbox One X. Many games are giving you the option of solid frame rate 1080p rather than 4K."

And that's my exact point, why would you invest in something people are purposefully turning off because it decreases their enjoyment of your product?

@cleveland124 The point I'm making is it doesn't make sense to invest in those docks until 4K is closer to industry standard. Consumers are not clamoring for Mario Kart Deluxe in 4k, they just aren't. If you disagree with that, we'll just to agree to disagree.

PS. The vast majority of Nintendo first parties run at 60 FPS, in the case of Fire Emblem Warriors they even allowed you to lower the Rez for 60 FPS to be enabled. Nintendo places value in frame rate.

@gatorboi352

"according to my online research, only 23 Xbox One X games (out of 100+ enhanced titles) have 60fps gameplay" - IGN

@cleveland124 Once again what's the point? You need more CPU power in the console otherwise the 4K quality is a waste of time. Take PUBG for example, while terribly optimized it only runs at 30 FPS at 4K rez on the Xbox. What is the point of a 4K console that runs games like crap at 4K?

@gatorboi352

"Furthermore, CTA’s research analysis shows 16 per cent of US households now own a 4K TV – up nine percentage points YOY – and 11 per cent of US households plan to purchase a 4K TV in the coming year. CTA’s 19th Annual Consumer Technology Ownership and Market Potential Study also shows"

It's better to provide sources rather than pulling facts out of thin air. Not sure what the current number is, but this was back in May. The reasoning Nintendo gave was it's not adopted by the majority, in which case it clearly isn't. 4K tv's are irrelevant anyways, if the Xbox One X can't supply a decent 4k experience what is Nintendo going to do.

What the heck do we need Facebook and Twitter for haha. Wouldn't that already be included if we had access to the web browser?

@moltakfire Holy you might be onto something: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/7pq1st/take_it_with_a_grain_of_salt_each_direct_mini_has/

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you release a quality game on the Switch, you will make extreme amounts of money.

@Hobbesyall Ahh ok, ok

@Hobbesyall A slow year in terms of first parties?

@Octane "That's why this one stands out."

Not every claim carries the same weight as others, we have no idea how much Nintendo was putting into that one specific claim. The bigger picture here is 5 claims by Nintendo, it just so happens colopl decided to focus on that claim specifically. If I had to guess I would assume it's because that is the weakest claim. Unless of course, Nintendolife cherry picked a claim from several that were detailed in the statement.

@Latinomex01 What are you talking about?

@cowntsikin @SLIGEACH_EIRE @Oubie @FragRed @Tulio517 @readyletsgo @Alikan @rjejr @MoonKnight7 @AG_Awesome @FragRed @Snadertjuh @AlexOlney @WiltonRoots

Welp we're being mocked now apparently, this was retweeted earlier today: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/949400851126325254

(Worth noting as one of the comments says the tweet has "Eleven captial letters in it")

@idrawrobots The expectations that have been self-manufactured from people's imaginations? Nintendo hasn't hyped any sort of Direct until now, so any let down is self induced.

@andrew20 You mean like this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/minecraft-story-mode-the-complete-adventure-nintendo-switch/5801813.p?skuId=5801813

Edit: OHHHHHHHHHH you were talking about having it on the 3DS, ok got it haha.

@andrew20 When you say Minecraft Story mode what exactly are you referring to the second?

@KirbyTheVampire Understandable, understandable

@Drac_Mazoku What exactly would you prefer to happen in this situation?

@KirbyTheVampire Bro you must have noticed the /s at the end of the paragraph, haha, I agree with you don't worry.

@KirbyTheVampire Who are you to decide what is mental illness and what isn't? Love between two humans and not inanimate objects is only a social construct, what you said here is deeply deeply offensive. Why don't you mind your own business and stop telling people how to live their lives when they aren't bothering you? /s

@Coffee_Drinker Switch to the black wallpaper haha.

@LaytonPuzzle27 Putting EA and good quality game product in the same sentence was your first mistake.

@Tempestryke Hmm the symptoms they listed as sign of ailment all seem a little general. Not to say they're wrong about it being an addiction, but the symptoms are something that could be applied to pretty much any situation.

I'm confused as to what qualifies as addictive behavior. I personally watch TV everyday, because that's just become a part of my normal routine. Does that mean am I exhibiting addictive behavior towards it?

And this is exactly why indies will keep pricing their games a certain way. It's such easy money when you release even a broken game in this case on the e-shop.

Wake me up when Rampage is released.

@BezBot Honestly as someelse who frequents the reddit, this happens sort of often actually. People are starting to get annoyed about these posts haha.

@loyalroyal1989 Actually the point I was making was the game will probably still make bank simply because it's a decent quality indie. But what you said is a valid arguing point I guess.

@BezBot @loyalroyal1989 @KirbyTheVampire @WhistleFish Don't take offense when I said this, but the exact reason your opinions are irrelevant is sales. Just look at Enter the Gungeon while it is priced 5 dollars lower than this, they sold a little over a million dollars in just two weeks. And that's happened to several other indie games that have appeared on the Switch. They know all they have to do is come in have a good 2-3 weeks, and boom they're set. Not to say it's worth $20, but if you can get just 50k people out of the millions of switch owners to download it it's easy money.

@ilovetotourz Oh I wasn't saying they were a troll, I was just saying you aren't going to make any headway with people who take that position.

@ilovetotourz Why waste your time Whistle is way past logical responses at this point.
