Re: Gallery: Here's What The Nintendo Switch Lite Looks Like

@Heavyarms55 Yes, and it's available at a reduced price with an advertised reduced feature set. It doesn't make your TV obsolete because there is still the core Switch model that maintains that feature. This is a cheaper, lighter option for those that don't use the dock. Of which there are plenty. Nintendo aren't trying to rip you off or force you to adopt a new technology to do the same thing you did before. So it's nothing like the headphone jack saga.

@Heavyarms55 Really? Removing the headphone jack rendered expensive hardware obsolete. It's nothing like that here.

The Switch Lite is for people that aren't connecting the Switch to their TVs. If that sounds stupid then I guess it's just not for you, but there are plenty of people that would love one of these. And I think the new colours look ace, so each to their own.

Re: Miyamoto Believes Nintendo Have Not Fallen Behind With VR

Can't fall behind when you were never there to begin with I guess.

In all seriousness, I can see where Miyamoto is coming from an to expect a competitor product to the likes of PSVR is unrealistic at this stage. Nintendo are about mass market and PlayStation are about hardcore gamers and right now in-depth VR experiences are firmly in the latter camp. If they can figure out a way to make a dedicated VR unit for everyone then I imagine they'll strongly consider it.

Network support on the other hand? Well, yes. Ninty needs improvement there.

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Summary From E3 2019 - Day One

I thought it was good overall. BotW2 was the real bombshell but was also really excited by The Witcher 3, Panzer Dragoon, Astral Chain, Link's Awakening and No More Heroes 3. The rest, if I'm honest, was a bit boring for me personally, but I expected that. No interest in Banjo/Kazooie or the Dragon Quest characters for Smash so I'm pretty relieved I didn't buy the character pass, and Animal Crossing bores me to tears so glossed over there as well.

But overall, gotta say that E3 this year has been lacking that extra something special. The closest we've got is the Final Fantasy VII Remake from SE's conference and BotW2 from Nintendo, but the show in general still feels a little lacklustre compared to previous years.
