To me does not make so much sense right now... I wonder how many people that alrea dy bought the vanilla or the lite will have the money to purchase a Pro in the same year that will see Ps5 and Xbox whatever is called....
Makes more sense in 2021 or further, so Nintendo will keep having this "mid Gen" bias against the other 2 consoles...
Agreed with all except #5.... New 3ds was basically useless and the risk is to split the fanbase And having games that run like crap on standard version.
Keep going with the actual Switch and release a Switch 2 in 3 years from now.
They should just port XX - End of the story. It is Asinine not to sell that game to the huge mass of Switch owners in the west.
MHW can't run on Switch without a massive downgrade and honestly I won't play it on a small screen with little speaker. That games screams (literally) for big TV and subwoofer.... (I still hear you, damn Anjanath). Online is so smooth and you can constantly jump in/jump out of hunts, so I won't see how they could translate that on portable system anyhow
A lot of games we already know (even from the days before). Only good surprise was mario oddissey released this fall.
I have enough of Kirby and Yoshi, and Xenoblade is ugly and as generic as possible and for me just saying "we started development of..." without showing anything does not count as announcement.
@ducktrapper congrats, you couldn't do a better choice. Darksouls III is a great conclusion for the trilogy and Bloodborne is, imho, the best exclusive for the system (but now Horizon came..)
@NEStalgia true, but now sony started with this gamebof the month thing.... This month is Tomb raider.... It looks good.... I am tempted... (takes out his wallet and picks his credit card)....
@NEStalgia don t even start please. I am already going with horizon and Nioh together, hope to finish them in time for Zelda and Mass effect, skipping Nier and Toukiden 2 for now, while I am still trying to git gud in For Honor. And I have Metal gear V waiting for me to be finally started. A lot of this is PSN sales's fault. Damn, too much sales too often! How can we resist to all this? 🤣
The comparison between Switch lineup and what is coming out the same period on Ps4 is embarassing fot the Nintendo console. Even if I wanted a Switch at launch there are simply too many great games on Sony console coming (or just arrived)
You nailed it here: " I wanted the company to look at its impressive cash-rich resources and think, "let's go for it". Follow the aggressive tactics of other entertainment companies and draw in people on the fence, make Switch unmissable. What we have instead, I think, is the standard Nintendo. "
I strongly doubt that this Nintendo could save itself...
Even the more optimistics cannot hide the fact that the launch did not globally produce that WOW that was needed...

Re: Investors React Negatively to Nintendo Switch Launch Details
@ducktrapper congrats, you couldn't do a better choice. Darksouls III is a great conclusion for the trilogy and Bloodborne is, imho, the best exclusive for the system (but now Horizon came..)

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Is Officially One Of The Best Games Of All Time
I am really happy it turned out to be great. I can't wait to play it on my wiiU (what a great swan song) once I'll finish Horizon.
And with long waited Mass Effect it will be one of the greatest triptic ever!
Is a trully great time to be a gamer!
Re: The Launch Line-Up on the European Nintendo Switch eShop
Retail lineup is so poor that almost hurt the sight. Zelda only would have beeb the same if not better.
Jeez the price of the Neo-geo! I got the Metal Slug Collection for less money on PSN and it got all the games...
Re: Virtual Console Will Not Be Ready For Nintendo Switch Launch
Pfffff Nintendo doesn't surprise me anymore....
By the way, it is the softest soft launch ever....
Re: Downloadable Games for the Switch Will Be Locked to One Console at a Time
@Akropolon sorry, my fault. I thought you were talking about the share control function. 😜
Re: Downloadable Games for the Switch Will Be Locked to One Console at a Time
@Akropolon you can share games with other people on PS4, by crossing each other accounts. You can then buy games and share them with the other.
Re: TowerFall Creator Bringing "Hardcore Mountain Climbing Platformer" Celeste To Nintendo Switch
I am missing the part where you are supposed to climb a mountain.
It looks like an average pixel platformer with horrible sound fx and music

Re: Video: More 1-2-Switch Mini-Games Shown Off In New Series Of Trailers
It is pretty awful to be honest. The baby one is even creepy.

Re: Nintendo Switch Version Of For Honor Out Of The Question Right Now
@Gamer83 I really doubt switch could run all the games you mentioned without big rework on them, aka lot of money to invest, aka forget about them

Re: Editorial: No, Nintendo Switch Isn't Having a 'Soft Launch', But The Perception is a Problem
The Switch had to be the return to form for Nintendo, and everyone should have been enthusiastic about console launch.
The simple existance of this well written piece shows that Nintendo failed again...
