People like smart devices Cloud gaming is growing 4k gaming is starting to become a demand In 5 years everybody want to play 8k games. People have less time to play games.
Why not make a pact with google, and make a 8k hybrid gamesytem, wich is also capable of playing physical games.
Just make the switch capable of pushing 8k cloudgaming,and do something with the dock like a google home device, even better like nvidia shield.
The hybrid system is in any case here to stay. Why? Because it attracts cknsole and pc users also mainstream users who have kids. I think there was never a concept like this in the past where they have reached such interest.
So make it even more aproachable, attract people that like smart devices.
@Grumblevolcano Wich is stupid, sega is still busy dying.
The company lack creativity in their development team for almost 20 years, and the company is stuborn to make drastic changes. Just too many old thinkers and old employees walking trough the hallways of the company.
There is always something lacking in their products (allthough street of rage was a great step) and sonic is just a too small caracter too make sega big again. They need a new talented team, young and fresh programmers that get along nice and share ideas without some old ***** in a suit keep ideas restricted
At this moment, It is a poor investment if you ask me.
50,- only is just insane.
They have to let people try out the subscription if it is worth it.
Judging from the release pace of snes and nes games, it is not worth your money.
It looks like nintendo first needs a pile of cash to buy these licenses, and this makes it sketchy, because as user we don't know if they can deliver along the way, between negociations and the one year subscription.
I think it is better that in the first year, they need to convince users by letting them try out a monthly subscription for like monthly 6,- and € 50,-
Still nintendo gets a big pile of money every month, because i think only 8% will use this subscription, and out of 8% maybe 3% takes a year subription that is still around 2,7 million x 50,- a year(135 million a year)
On top of that 3% from that last 5% will continue their monthly subscription wich makes 72x 2,7 million a year (189 million)
And this is at is lowest expectations, and ofcourse there are expenses.
Anyhow, nintendo needs to promote this new subscription on tv, adds etc, and it is worth it because any percent higher means alot of money .
Still confused why you have to pay for an extra subscribtion, to get 25/30 year old games!?
If it where a huge collection of games i would understand (like on xbox) But we are talking about a handfull of games, and you have to wait like 3 years to have a decent collection.
@Snatcher You never played it? Damn, i am so jealous at people that have not played it, i just miss that first feeling i had with this game, but still the game is awesome, my 9 year old son also live this game and finished it the first time with my help, then 3 times on his own, he told me it is his best game ever played.
It was an good game, but i was dissapointed about its ambiance way too fast, less mysterious, the music(wich is an essential feature) not fitting a metroid game
Also not the feeling being totaly isolated, and i hate spacestation based metroid games instead of a unknown planet, with unknown structures.
I think dread will be the best after super metroid
But still hope there will be more natural envirement added tot the game like in super metroud instead of levels in a spaceships. There are way too many of meyroud games in this setting.
This machine made me hooked with gaming, and is from my age when i was 16.
Was it not for my older brother, who earned to much money, i did not get it at that time.
It was like €1200,- at that time. He also got one and delivered the games for me.
I definetly want this to have, it is one of the best(if not best) home computers ever made. I realy loved the sound and 16bit colors. It could not compare to a megadrive, but the games had a unique sound, and rare gameplay.
It also looks decorative in my home.
And i am curious. How many amgia games it can play because i see some a1200 and a4000 games in the trailer.
It would be great, if the keyboard actualy works, if not there will be bluetooth on it for an additional keyboard.
Although nothing more then a upgrade on resolution and some shaders, the legend of zelda:windwaker was for me the most apealing title. Like it was always supposed to be played in this state rather then 240p, Imo there have to be a upgraded port in any upfollowing nintendo switch console.
Can't wait to see a switch version of it with ray tracing, more visual effect with weather.
Btw not a 2d game by origin, but
Basicly no game comes near the total remake of links awakening. A game i would never have played if it was not for this remake. Fantastic game.
@charlieonholiday
Once i will find time to play this game, it bothers me that it is highly praised by so many gamers, but i just can't get into it because i simy do not have much time for myself.
You remind me of myself, convincing people to play the mass effect series and try to get past the first 2 hours on the citadel to get i to it but know i understand you actualy need enough time for yourself to do so.
Never had the patient nor the the time to play this game more the 5 hours, and this irritating me because it seem one of the best game ever made. This is a game you cannot lay down and co tinue after two or three weeks. It has complex game controll and mechanics, wich at my age is difficult to puckup easy.
So i focused on the netflix series to see what its all about, and i can understand why people realy love the world of the witcher. It was with no doubt the best series i watched last year on netflix.
I realy like the pace and build between episodes always ending after two episodes in some epic battle in a awesome setting.
Looking forward for season 2, even though i probably will never finish the game, due to work and family responsibilities.
@Wavey84 Amoled has too many benefits over any other screen format.
It has better responce time, better colors, sharpness, and no you don't get burnins. If you like games to look better in the go, i would advise to but it.
So basicly a revision update like the 2019 battery update version, and the switch lite.
If you use the switch primarly for on the go, i would say, yes buy it. Because amoled (same as Oled) has better contrast (check samsung phones) then lcd-led tech and definetly better colors and black levels.
But for people who ay mainly on tv, it is a huge dissapointment, en definetly for those who where expecting a total new nintendo switch.
I'll stick to my 2017 version. If it works don't update i always say.
i love the concept cloud gaming(could be cheaper i agree), so keep them coming.
one day all these plastic waste, logistical polution and energy spilling is terminated like the plague, and streamin will become as good as owning a console itself. i may be old, but i have a feeling i'm years ahead of time compared to most young people, and i feel way more connected in this time like i was with the nineties. I love this age.
I will come out eventualy, but after 6 years nobody realy cares anymore. just like the last guardian on ps4, and beyond good and evil 2, the impact is gone.
i'm using stadia for like 6 months now,and i must say, it works great even with 20 google smart devices and alot of hue products in my home. no lag or whatsoever.
i'm definetly behind streamed gaming from day one, it's much more envirement friendly(i hate plastic waste wich will be laying around in nature for more then houndred years) and fast to pick up a game.
i have to admit, i don't play games as much as i used to do, i have a family and away from home more then 11 hours a day, so this platform is ideal for me.
if you read all this, i don't understand why some big developers are absent on the nintendo switch. EA, Ubisoft, Konami just a few of them who can push way more "easy money" games to this platform.
they are rather stupid and basicly destroying their own business.
how hard is it to release rayman legends and origins!? metal gear series, or a mass effect triology that does not even have to be remastered and people will be very happy and them earning a big pile of cash the easy way.
why are 4 year old games still 55,-
why is a nintendo switch still 325,-+ and not 199,- with a game like the old days.
why dont they care about people who have joycon thrifts?
and why dont they care about small wallets of parents with kids?
we can complain all we want, fact is the OS of the nintendo switch is not designed for online gaming, thats not where this console's priority where at the time it was designed.
this is a mobile device such as a smartphone, so offers had to be made.
did nintendo learn from it? time will tell with the switch pro, i think so.
personaly i think nintendo should focus on two cpu's. on in the dock on in the handheld,, combined together into a powerfull console for online gaming
actualy holds anything a 2d metroid fan wanted after super metroid.
Music,gameplay, level details such as water reflection, explosions,scanning movement, all A+++.
@rushiosan i realy like reddit, the best place to be to get help. official suport forums never worked for me from any brand like LG for instance what rubbish brand is that for its comsumers, don't answer any question or listen to its community.
it's emberassing to see that actualy only the consumers help you out of good will. for me it's a reason to ditch a brand in the future. nintendo must be warned about this cause it seems a asian way of working to ignore consumers. i hope nintendo does not get arrogancy because they doing great.
don't worry about 720p, a oled screen would make a huge difference. colors pop out and games look way better then conventional led.
i don't care about 4k to be honoust, its still the same software and the hardware is not that much powerfull. i would be nice with a whole new nintendo switch though.
if you like you can upscale your games with an accessoiry sold in amazone or just buy a oled tv from LG
think this will be a turning point in history again since 1994. nintendo is going to claim back the market. if rumors are correct and the next switch will have 4k i don't see Sony win back the industry like nintendo lost it in 1994.
i know you never have to underestimate the playstation, but its popularity is faling. xbox is more powerfull is the better console, they have bethesda and the nintendo switch concept is just perfect
