I'm really sore they didn't give us a switch 2 edition.
I would have happily paid £8 for that.

Depressingly High physical purchase rate...
Not because I think physical is bad per se, but it's very clear that the capacity AND load speed can't withstand the more recent, larger games. Which means, If demand is this High, The whining is going to continue for many years... 😐
Please join the modern era and make the change to digital.
There's plenty of other things you can line your shelves with.

Russia?
I'll pass.

The way things are going the rest of the industry is going to completely wreck Nintendo through popular vote plagiarism.
What did Nintendo do that's so dreadful, compared to anyone else, that means they deserve to be occupied like this??
Malicious corporate assassination simply because the climate allows it.
These copy cats are merciless hacks that would be the first to cry fowl if anyone ripped THEM off.

For those pinning For a switch 1 release... I'd suggest go and have a look at some footage of it playing on the switch 2 demo.

I bet you're one of these types that likes to sing the lyrics to a song slightly wrong...
Or insist on always applying mods to a video game...
Or cannot POSSIBLY build a piece of IKEA furniture by actually LOOKING at the instructions...
I am not the kind of person that takes offence at carrying out instructions.
I don't see it as a slight against my own intelligence.
I enjoy experiencing what somebody else has providing exactly as they intended... Only then can I fully decide whether I like what they did or not.

Highly worrisome.
Meanwhile Chronos and Resident Evil 😓
Can Nintendo please prioritise what we buy Nintendo systems for?
Thanks awfully.

@RadioHedgeFund I've bought it... And couldn't play it.
It's awkward and unsatisfying.
As you can imagine, it feels crowbared onto the device by company demand.

I don't understand why they're so averse to simply letting people choose circuits only.
Eventually they'll let everyone do it.

Full NSO is far cheaper than the competition.
Like by far.
NSO light, where you get less, is so cheap per annum It's insulting to Nintendo.
It costs a month's PS+ 😂
Quit whining.
Do you get languages on the other systems in your region for far more money?
It just strikes me that you're constantly trying to find anything you can... Language coverage has always been a major issue. Yet suddenly right this second when you can't find anything else to have a go at, it's a Hot topic... This is such a nothing burger.
Everyone is getting so obviously desperate to beat Nintendo down.
Are you all being paid a whopping back handed or something?
From one day to the next there's some beef or another.
It's getting so outrageously tiresome.
You're acting like bloody political critics 😂
Every console does a few dirty tricks or cuts a few corners. Every console has plenty of great benefits and exclusives.
Give it a bloody rest and let's start focusing on the great stuff.
Please!

Very very likely incorrect.
I'm sure they're lying by omission, but you will almost definitely be able to play these in mono mode.
As always, Nintendo life grasp at the most negative spin they can.

Nintendo's main buyers have no idea this is coming and will happily pick all of this up on a whim.
We spend our time throwing all sorts of dumb judgment at them and they still do great... Because we aren't what sustains them 😂

I am unsurprised that some of the development team look like Mafioso 😐

I think 50 quid for the both of them is a great price... £25 A pop
Grow up, the lot of you

They produce a stellar Direct and what does Nintendo life do?
Find something to complain about.
Jesus

Not too long to wait now.
Been enjoying my backlog of other tactical grid games while I wait.

I'm sorry but I think we're allowing ourselves to be so pleased with the result that were forgetting every reviewer out there slammed this on preview.
How??
Clearly you are not all lying so what led them to lie about this?

Somehow messed up the last answer and the Xbox instead of None 😂
Considering there wasn't a shred of Xbox usage for the whole of the questionnaire, that will completely confuse some specific stat 😂

I genuinely, hand on heart, DO NOT CARE.
I cannot get my head around the grievance when everybody is quite happy using Steam.
Make it make freaking sense.

About you would expect from a 3-month-old system.
I'm not even going to ask people to give them a break because this is an intentional attack. They have no intention of listening or reflecting on themselves because they know that they're not really surprised or upset by how many we have right now.
As it happens with every new Nintendo system launch... They poke and jab until something sticks.
Games journalism is bought and paid for by the highest bidder. And because Nintendo, historically, refused to enter into that immoral bias they get the blunt end.
However the most recent attack, of games performing badly, somehow seems to have been flipped overnight.
Out of nowhere, every game that was being reported to be running badly is suddenly running well again... And every critique is changing their story.
Funny that.

@NintndoNik looking for a reason to flip the positivity are we?

@Dazman yeah I mean it's about what I expected... Better to be honest with you.
I just can't fathom how it ended up being panned by all of the press...
And now there's an article going around that apparently they delayed the systems launch (as if that matters at all)
For some reason the presser really laying into Nintendo... Again... as if that's something new

Looks very serviceable and about what I expected.
There's an article going around about them delaying the launch of the system...
That coupled with the false narrative of this running badly is getting me concerned that the press are laying into this intentionally.

More Switch 2 sabotage from the "Big boy console" developers.
Are they really doing so badly that they need to beat down Nintendo's reputation this generation?
Perhaps they should try cultivating, and actually KEEPING, a great developer team so they can make games people really want to play... Instead of spending all their resources making competition look bad.
If Witch 3 can run just fine on Switch 1, at reduced fidelity, so can any game on Switch 2.
There's no excuse for pushing the GPU too far and then blaming the system for port performance.
Just dial down the demand and find the Ballance.
If players can do it with settings on PC, I'm sure developers can do it even better via actual coding.
It's not laziness because it barely takes any effort for them... It's intentional sabotage.
At best it might just be protest towards Nintendo for not keeping up with hardware... But I doubt it.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the name?
Are you all 12?

Nintendo Direct Shadow drop let's goooooooo

Calling it now...
NL will take the hipster route and find some highly objective and personal reason to dock a point or two.
Can't look TOO enthusiastic can we NL?
Finding tiny faults is the adult thing to do, after all.
And consistently pointing out niggling, inconsequential, issues isn't at all a cumulatively destructive behaviour that constantly keeps an excellent development team on the back foot.
When all these companies have share holders that's not how you needlessly create churn in the talent market at ALL!
Right?

When things are this big and widely well known, I feel it's only common courtesy to tell everyone the situation.
There's marketing strategy and then there's just being a massive bunch of stubborn *****

@axelhander Nintendo has their own methods... Nobody colludes with them.
I'm in no way saying they are any better. But don't fool yourself into thinking they have relations with literally any other company that doesn't make games for them.

Discontinuation of always-online services is NOT what the campaign is primarily upset about.
They want the right to seek a method of continue playing their purchased games via other, private means.
Write your wavers. Wipe your hands clean of responsibility. Close all service. But let people keep their games.
This campaign is a much broader ask that covers ALL games. Not just the always online services.
I believe they have read the demand and know full well that's the case.
I think this response is an intentional misdirection.

@sketchturner there's always plenty of people just like you.
The same people that say you should never pre-order under any circumstances 🤣

In spite of gaming media sensationalizing every minute fringe issue... pretty well.
Great sales in just the first week.
I don't think we could have asked for much more considering the price bracket and the current state of the economy everywhere.
It's technically just an upgrade system (despite the marketing) so it's going to be a slow process compared to most new systems.
Even if the entire third-party market abandons it. Ultimately it has at the entire back catalogue of the switch available to it and all of the new in-house games they make.
It can't go wrong.
And once they've made a few bangers (which they seem to be gearing up for) third parties won't be able to resist.

@raymond23 huge overreacting.
I can imagine you going in, poised, to give this a bad review. You just needed ANY excuse 🤣
Such is the internet today.

@Pickettfury I do think that they've made a wonderful game for your exact case.
But your case is perhaps not niche but definitely specific... There's a lot of people this just doesn't apply to.

It's great but clearly unfinished.
I think we need to know what the plan is and have a roadmap.
Because this ain't it Nintendo... We both know it... So the cherade is kind of foolish.
People don't have to know the specifics but if they want us to keep caring they're going to have to give something!

@Debo626 👊

It's a perfectly good £8 tech demo and tour.
It makes no claims of being anything more.
The whole thing is incredibly transparent.
And, to be perfectly honest with you, can you really see any kind of person that's complaining about this being the kind of person that would enjoy this anyway??
It's all a gotcha.
"See! SEE! Look at their greed!"
So tiresome.

@Ravenmaster it's a hand held my dude.

Everyone else : THIS IS why I keep moaning about DF.
Their "analysis" is pointless flexing and destructive to all but the highest performance devices.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?
Like ever?
If people got their system pricked they deserved it. (Bricked... Freudian slip)
Why are you framing this like the company is the bad egg here?

Fun police here to tell you if your choice of fun is valid or not.
God I hate DF.
The review being positive or not is irrelevant.
Their focuses are dull and vacuous and the reason everything has descended into FPS and Resolution spotting.

For years the fan base whines about low tech.
Nintendo upgrade every aspect and you whine about the HDR, the choice of SD Card, the high end HDMI cable...
Contrarians...
What you want is controversy and beef.
Because, without it, you only have the games.
Imagine that? Just reviewing games when they're available to review?
Instead of writing piece after piece on nothing but fringe negativity that may never have even been the problem as you're framing it.

Hahahaha
Hacks

Nintendo forgetting the rest of the world exists again...

Another nothing burger article

@SuntannedDuck2 creating negativity to stir up emotions... Internet media seems to subsist off doing nothing else.
I wish people would just say only what they know, review honestly and theorise with an even hand...
The truth is far more interesting and fulfilling than unending hype and devastating let down.

@Troopage They were exclusively part of the marketing team... They know when it's good to promote certain titles and how to do it...
They also have some idea of the direction Nintendo tends to go in based on past habits...
But thats where it all ends.

@NintendoWife right? 😑
More power to them for capitalising on their time with the company and finding a career outside... But there's a limit to their insights.
They know marketing and general habits very well but game design is not their forte.

This theory runs off the very odd assumption that the same team will be making the game 🤷‍♀️
One would HOPE that Nintendo have thought outside the box and tried something new on this new system.
I'm not worried.
Also Zelda is likely to be a reboot too.
