@IronMan30 People say stuff like this and then complain as to why Publishers like Ubi don't make good interesting games instead of generic AC and Far Cry. Very interesting behavior/hypocritical lol.
@link3710 I believe the facial capturing they used in LA Noire is tied to the 30fps cap. The PC version of the game is locked at 30fps due to this, and when modders tried getting the game to run beyond it screwed up the gameplay.
Another thing I want to point out, seeing Ubisoft and Bethesda really getting behind the Switch is super encouraging. You also see light support from 2k and Rockstar, which is nice.
But really seeing a company as big and non-Nintendo as Bethesda gives me hope that if the Switch does well this holiday more big 3rd party companies will try to make great versions of their games for the Switch.
I'd really like to see Blizzard onboard especially. I'd love Diablo 3 and Overwatch on my switch.(Though I think most people would expect/want Hearthstone from them)
@AlexOlney I personally don't mind it in video format, but maybe the dude's at work or school or something and would rather just read it on the down-low... :3
@gcunit spot-on comment. Hopefully it's just Nintendo reaping the early adopters atm, cuz the Switch is gonna need to go lower to continue to be viable going forward.
Nintendo is wild. 60 million lifetime AT BEST imo.
The console space has changed drastically since the Wii era. The ps4 has nearly been out for 4 years and hasn't sold 60 million yet.
And honestly the ps4 and switch arent even comparable, because the Switch is a secondary device for gaming, whereas the ps4 can be considered a primary device for gaming due to their steady first AND third party support.
Step number 1: STOP supporting the 3ds after 2017.
Nintendo needs to completely focus on making sure the Switch is a very attractive device for gamers by ensuring constant first party support, and if they keep making games for 3ds that's only gonna hurt the amount of Switch games coming out.
It rightfully got curb-stomped by the ps4 and xbox one. Nintendo made SO many mistakes with the Wii U it legitimately makes me wonder how some people at Ninty still have a job. Its online functionality was behind a 2005 console, it had WAY too many peripherals, its main gimmick was weak and overall wasn't even used by even first party devs, its marketing was garbage, etc etc!
And as mentioned already, Nintendo's attitude towards it's own fanbase on youtube was deplorable and regressive.
Did the Wii U have good games? Hell yeah. But its still one of their worst consoles and I'm glad they're cutting it short with the switch.
It's vital. They need as much power as the PS4(preferrably even more) if they want third party support.
And don't tell me third party support doesn't matter. The best selling games nowadays are rarely exclusives. It's always CoD, Battlefield, The Witcher, FIFA, etc, etc.
Also I think it's vital that with the NX Nintendo Network is vastly improved. But that's for another time.
@XCWarrior Mighty No 9 was funded in mid-late 2013, and is releasing in mid-late 2015. I think that 2 years is a reasonable development cycle, and is probably the amount of time Playtonics will take crafting this game.
@rjejr Wooow. I can't believe kids THAT young do Potatoes like that! 6th grade was a lot more innocent for me. Stuff like "bjs" and stuff like that didn't come along till 8th grade! Crazy.
I'm not sure if I want Etrian Mystery Dungeon, but it looks really fun...what to do...what to do...well, I'm sure my wallet will decide for me when the time comes! XD

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Direct?
It was really cool to see Bethesda go all out this time, really didn't expect that. I'll be picking up DOOM this holiday.
Snipperclips DLC low-key was so hype for me lmao, love that game so much.
Xenoblade 2 looking better than I thought, awesome that it's coming out this year after all.
And last but not least Mario looks amazing, it's looking like Nintendo has a monopoly on GOTY this year! xD

Re: Discord is Interested in Supporting Nintendo Switch, But Don't Hold Your Breath
That would single handedly save the switch's online platform to have a strong chat app like discord on the switch.
Nintendo should actually try to intergrate discord rather than make it's own s****y phone chat app.
Re: Capcom Unleashes Debut Trailer and Details on Monster Hunter XX for Nintendo Switch
@JaxonH "Insane graphics"?
Look I'm excited as the next hunter but let's not go overboard. It's a HD port of a 3ds game. Hopefully it's at least 60fps.

Re: Nintendo Unleashes a Nintendo Switch Infographic of Confirmed Nindie Games
That was an amazing showcase. A lot of those indies looked quality, and there's so many of them YEAR ONE!
Ninty is doing a good job making sure there is going to be a steady stream of software for the Switch.

I'll hold you to that Nick. I'd hope so, seeing as I did not pre order.
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games: The Complete List
Zelda, Snipperclips, and maybe Bomberman.
Re: DFC Intelligence Believes Nintendo Switch Can Shift 40 Million Units by 2020
20 mil is looking more realistic, unless nintendo plans on giving this thing steady software every year. I. E. dropping 3ds support for Switch.
Re: Poll: A Week On, How Do You Feel About the Nintendo Switch?
Not pre-ordering one but I'm definitely gonna get one eventually. Maybe in the Summer.

Re: Talking Point: Raw Power Isn't Vital to Nintendo's NX, But It Does Matter
It's vital. They need as much power as the PS4(preferrably even more) if they want third party support.

Re: Nintendo Working On New 'Dedicated Game Platform' Codenamed 'NX'
@Grumblevolcano Not really. The Wii U is pretty much a failure and they need to scrap it by 2016/2017.
Though it might be a successor to the 3DS.
