Forget the square bring out the enix, ActRaiser, Robotrek, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Time, and Terranigma I need these on virtual console do we really need a tenth copy of FFVI not that I wont buy that too, It's just wrong that the others have never been available.
Oh, and secret of evermore too while your at it please.
This is a day one on switch for me, metro gave it seven and that's good enough for me of course need the lifers opinion too but I can't see it being lower. As for any review that cites nuts and bolts as a classic, well that just null and voids that opinion from the off.
For me the realisation that altitude affects temperature was a standout realising that snowstorm that was happening when I started climbing down that cliff has gone and my well planned descent had just become an an OH FUDGE moment.
I love the argument for quality over quantity that gets trumpeted about and would agree but then I look at the launch title vroom in the night sky and weep, besides zelda could last me at least five more years so i'm good.
new console = premium game prices same as it ever was, though not sure fully why prices seem to be such an issue my local asda has bomberman r for 40 quid and amazon have just sent me disscount codes to get just dance and skylanders for £20 and £30 respectively though when i checked out i was only charged 18 and 27 for some odd reason.
What if It's Nintendo behind the leaked footage, it keeps us all guessing and talking about it and interested. I call a direct the day before no sooner.
What's wrong is the switch looks like tablet so the non gamer or those without their fingers on the pulse of technology are going to expect it do what a tablet can, when they find it cannot meet their expctations they'll look for something else that can. Having an all in one package is a no brainer and Nintendo need to see this fast, if the could also get android support in some way the switch could achieve sales figures in the wii range if not more.
So do do i buy a switch to play games on the go or a tablet at fraction of the cost that lets me play games, surf the net and stream media or get both so I have to carry two tablets around with me, I wonder which option joe bloggs will choose, smell the coffee Nintendo.
One size fits all nice, I woukd ask why nintendo aren't selling this more but then realised it's not time yet. I now feel I understand nintendo's marketing approach (best make this quick as There's some guys here with a jacket with a distinct lack of arm holes) this launch is aimed at selling to us staunch nintendites, with a small stock supply and meager launch lineup.
Then with us out of the way They're going to go all out with the marketing push, after all we're going to buy no matter what the specs and functionality so why bother, better to hold off till after the launch when stock is better that way when Mrs More goes out to get one for little Johnny she can actually get one, there is no point pushing a product now when supply is low and risk loosing sales to rival tablet. No as soon as this launch is out of the way thats when we'll know everything plus the good word of mouth from early adopters is something else they're banking on.
To cancel or not to cancel that is the question, didn't want voices to start with knowing how a bad dub can kill a game and now to be forced to listen to a, from what I've heard and read is a pretty uneven display of talent, its an issue for me. After all why should I pay my money for a game that does not give me what I want.
Would also like to know before I decide whether we are getting regional variations like dragon quest viii or am I going have to listen to a load of Yanks. As with the old anime argument I want subs>dubs even if it's just because it's harder to tell a poor dub in another Lingo.
I blame brexit, Trump and isis(when they eventually release a statement admitting culpability) for this.
I feel the Ps Vita could be a salvation of sorts for the Switch , with its death There's an audience that will be looking for that steady supply of jrpgs on the go and publishers who are after a new device to release on, if disgea 5 brings in that audience then that will bode well for more support to come, a monster hunter or two Wouldn't harm either.
All I want at this point is a comparison between zelda switch and wii u 'cos if the switch version rocks out It's going to mean me selling a kidney. Then if I survive that back street botch job then and only then will want more info on mother/metroid.
Looking at this reveal it really felt skewed towards the japanese market, so hopefully in the very near future we'll get a more western focused direct.
If these are just enhanced ports there is also the option that the switch comes bundled with one, I can see a switch mario kart or splatoon bundle really selling the switch especially if they go for a higher start price.
Man am I going to get an earful from Isabel when I return there after installing this, and one more snide comment from my residents about the long absence and I'm sending out eviction notices.
They need that customer experience to help sales, I remeber when the wii was released and going into my local tesco and seeing people queuing up to play the demo models. On the the other hand a free shiny mew code with every purchase could work......
Why do i get the feeling I'm being played, I've never known so many leaks about Nintendo products before, could this all be part of a clandestine marketing campaign, or am i just turning into a illuminati are everywhere nutjob.
Why would anyone want to trade in for peanuts when you can make more than double selling on ebay, I've spent the last three months pricing up all my games and consoles for insurance purposes and i have at least ten grands worth of gear but with trade I wouldn't get a third of the value.
One thing I'd like to know is what else it can do, and i recon nintendo will tell us before christmas. When they released the list of supporters they mention Autodesk who someone pointed out make autocad, so I'm thinking there are more video's incoming highlighting the varitey of ways the switch can be used but each reveal will be focused on specific areas, rather than having just one mass info dump. A concise message each time with uses clearly outlined, then when we know just exactly what it is we are getting they'll give us the rest.
If they packaged it with an enhanced port of splatoon or mario kart 8 that would be a killer app bundle and Wouldn't have the cost implications of developing as say developing a full fledged sequel would. I can also see this having some kind of mobile infastructure going on if it can play pokemon go and mario run then other brands could follow.
