@backup368 The Switch isn't powerful enough to run all games that PS4 and Xbox can, with this, the Switch should be able to run next gen games that it wouldn't have been able to, preventing it from getting left behind. People that want to play games portably or have poor internet connections/don't want to subscribe to a streaming service/have another console will still buy games from the eShop or retail. Nintendo would most likey be getting a decent cut of the subscription revenue, and if they require Nintendo Switch Online to use Xbox Live then it adds value to NSO and makes even more money for Nintnedo. Portability is still a big incentive to port games for 3rd parties. If it isn't feasible to port then it can be on game pass instead of not getting it at all, making Switch all around more accessible for devs. Switch exclusive games also will not be on Game Pass, so that shouldn't be a problem either.

@nintendork64 That isn't true, Mario Odyssey was on sale in December and I bought Splatoon 2 on sale in January, they've had a few decent discounts on the eShop recently. Mario Day unfortunately isn't part of that, seems like it's just a My Nintendo thing.

@Darknyht I wouldn't recommend playing with randoms, play alone or with people you know. And that applies to a lot of video games not just this one haha.

@Mando44646 A school fair, I looked it up.

@leo13 Yoshi is in the original.

@allanironmaiden That's true for Splatoon 2 as well but you still have to pay. Hopefully this is different.

@Wanjia Nope, it's right here https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/mario_kart_tour_has_been_delayed_until_summer_2019

@electrolite77 You mean 2019, right?

I'm scared now.. hope they can get their data back.

Switch is still so much more expensive to have than a 3DS. The Switch doesn't quite fit the same space in the market affordability wise at this time. Until then, the 3DS still has something over it.

@humbucker No. Nintendo in the past never did sales on their popular titles this is a new thing actually.

@NybroCymerej Bit harsh, he'll actually be leaving Nintendo Life next month.

Save the World is in early access not Battle Royale.

"The game mechanically is not good" the correct statement is that you don't like the game mechanics.

@jly1987 That is based on personal opinion. I don't care if you don't like it but the belittling of people for enjoying a game is too far.

On a contradictory related note, the Switch version is pretty bad/low quality right now, especially docked, compared to other consoles. They just don't seem to give it the same care. The career tab is just one example.

The game isn't bad just because you don't like or or because it's popular. Everyone has different tastes. Stop with the patronizing condescension.

@eSocrates You're right. He didn't even deny there was a revision and appears to have hinted at what it entails. It's probably for the best that there's not much focus on this, wouldn't want Nintendo to get upset with him haha.

I compared it to the Wii U app and the video quality is much better and smoother than the laggy Wii U version which drops frames and does not support 60fps. It's superior to the GamePad in handheld or the TV while docked.

The Wii U browser is a bit more competitive, it has the ability to open multiple tabs and navigate the site normally as well as read comments. But the Switch app supports higher resolution and framerate than Wii U, if you have a smartphone etc. you can link it if you want to read the comments (which will also allow you to see comments displayed properly if they contain things the Wii U can't display) and also have another way to control the Switch app. The Switch app also supports links to other videos that are embedded within videos unlike the browser. Overall you get better viewing on Switch, navigation might be a little trickier though.

@Locke159 Yes it does play 1080p.

@holygeez03 @OorWullie It does support 60fps. You can check the framerate from the app as well by presssing the left most "more" button, then the stats button to the right while a video is playing.

@Frenean I agree, I don't think there's anything wrong with not liking the game. It's just the belittling others for enjoying it that I find unnecessary.

Okay, a few things.
I don't understand why people are acting surprised or confused about people liking the game. Everyone has different tastes.

Not installing + hating on the game isn't something to be proud of, makes you sound closed minded.
If it's not your cup of tea fine, doesn't mean you have to look down on the game or people who play it.

On another note, looks like people have been putting the dislike button to use in here 😆

I played on my Switch yesterday in handheld mode then switched (no pun intended) to my 3DS to play Pokémon. It is possible to find use in both systems.

@greengecko007 I agree on the PSS. I found trials refreshing for a one time change from gyms. I also found that: the difficutly felt higher than X&Y, no HMs, no longer having to memorize hundreds of Pokemons's typing. Gold bottle caps and easier BP with surfing (usum) to make your pokemon's stats better. Only needing to complete the Alola dex instead of the extremely large national dex allowing me to actually complete it was a nice change.

Overall just felt a bit less tedious and more enjoyable to me. Hard to obtain Pokemon I just traded for which I suppose is the purpose of making them difficult to get. The Battle Agency and secretly locking certain Battle Tree characters to certain versions are probably what annoy me most about Gen 7.

Why is there so much SuMo hate. It has the best QOL changes in the series.

@Dalarrun They're working on allowing you to merge accounts so you can access all of your purchases.

@HobbitGamer @dres Don't know if that would actually be an issue. Themes are already there, there are just only two of them. Browser is there, just locked away. And a YouTube app shouldn't be any more demanding than a video game.

More intricate themes/folders probably would have the most impact though if any.

There is an avoiding coins challenge in the game that I've never managed to complete.

I don't know about assuming a connection to things like Netflix or a browser.

We've got a whole geography class in the comments 😂

Mixture of Wii branding being stale and a name that makes it sound like an accessory.

@Menchi187 Not quite, still noticeably superior to mobile. Makes sense on Switch anyway.

@okeribok It's not a mobile port. It's a PC/Console game that has a mobile port.

@Wouwter The dryness of this comment has me laughing right now haha

@MasterJay Makes sense. Wish they would do it though.

@NintendoFan4Lyf Sony and Nintendo are on pretty good terms too right? So there's a chance Switch could have cross play with every platform.

It's not the best value at that price either way.

I'm sad. Just another way for the Switch to be barebones in comparison to the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U.
Lots of applications > Hulu
Virtual Console > NES Online
Themes? Nope
Music? Folders? No
Backward Compatibility? Absolutely Not.
YouTube, Netflix? Browser? Nah, GAMES ONLY.

@joey302 It's a holiday for them.

I was wondering where all the articles were then I realized it's Bank Holiday weekend.

Disgusting. This doesn't even make sense, are they just trying to cover up how cheap it was? This better be a mistake. I'm not here for anti consumer practices.

I own this game on Wii U but uninstalled it for space.

This looks like the Sun & Moon Pokédex.

Y'all complaining about the 3DS should consider yourselves lucky, you're getting the best. The Switch is massive... just hope Nintendo doesn't make another dedicated, more pocketable, more affordable handheld with better battery life.

Nintendo deliberately went out of their way to announce Bowser's Inside Story way ahead of time just so no one could say they stopped.

@antdickens I wish Nintendo Life had nested comments. It would be so much easier to follow discussions.

More ports, cue Super Mario 3D World, and Super Mario Maker if not a sequel. Zelda ports too.

@Megal0maniac They're the same, Wii U is on world select and Switch is on level select.

@Dom why did you post an article that already exists from yesterday? https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/03/nintendo_reveals_splatoonrs_original_prototypes_at_gdc

@outsider83 It's just kinda random since it has nothing to do with Nintendo.

Though it reminds me when looking to get a Wii U Toys R Us was one of the few stores that still had Wii U in stock (this was at launch), but it was the basic model so had to look elsewhere.
