I'll be busy avoiding the storms of spoilers roaming the internet. Won't be getting a switch for some time to come

@Capt_N I think you are 100% on. In this case I would love for the 3ds to phase out, but the problem is money. Parents will still be buying their kids the budget friendly 3ds. I dont know, its a strange situation. Nintendo should just make a vita thats pretty much a Switch but without all the expensive rumble and joycons. Then marketing what games are compatible might be an issue. But id take a dumbed down Switch if it was truly pocket portable. I mean you cant even table top mode with while charging without a cradle. How portable is that?

@bluedogrulez I agree. You can throw your 3ds in your pocket, pop it out and play. And it appears as yesterdays tech. Pulling out a modern and slightly larger switch is far more eye catching and brings attention to yourself and possible theft. There will be a few, but must people are not going to pull out a switch on a subway or in other public places, let alone carry it around. The Switch is portable in the sense of what I like to call "event portable." Portable enough for events, going to your friends house, or to bring to a comfortable location, not so much having on you at all times for those short moments to play.

At least in the states, I will be really surprised if people will start bringing their Switch out instead of their 3ds. That and a majority of those with a 3ds out and about are kids who have the system purchased for them by their family. I've heard a lot of family conversations about getting the kids a portable gaming device, and I doubt most parents are just going to shell out the cash when there is a cheaper option. So the 3ds might die out, but i doubt it will be mostly because of the Switch.

Yesss! They need to keep this amiibo stuff up. There are so many awesome missed opportunities for cool amiibo use like this

Its a joke to me. Not a huge online guy, but I have a Vita, PS4, and PS3 and each month I get like 5 to 6 titles, with 1 to 2 of them I really enjoy. Whenever I do get a Switch, ill just be sticking with local play and probably still keep ps+

So..... :/ one more accessory I need it pack for my highly portable system? You couldn't just make it charge with a cord in table top mode? Really?? Accessories are all good and they and very reasonable, but you are trying to sell the switch on portability ...

If I cant transfer or get a discount with smash or Mario Kart, I'm just going to get the Switch much later. I prefer Nintendo over Sony, but I'll just ride out on my ps4 for the rest of the year. Sony has proved to me that with some patience you can get all kinds of steals on their online store.

With My Nintendo disappointment, slow virtual console releases, cross-buys still non-existent, not the best sales, recent so-so releases.... I think I am going to give Nintendo purchases a rest for awhile.

waiting for it to dip around $20 usd on the PS4

All I needed to know was that its Nintendo. You could tell me it would only have around three games released for it that I would truly enjoy, and I would still buy in.

PlayStation weekly sales have been soaking up all my cash, and I am pretty happy. I don't even check the eshop for sales anymore

For me Linkle is in the same category as Tingle, for comic relief. Id love to have the spirit of the hero rencarnated into a girl, but Linkle is too airheaded for me to carry any real role in a mainline zelda game

@90sRetroGaming nice! Yeah my Wii u eshop had a 30% off code so check yours if you haven't already

Anyone have a birthday in Dec? Trying to decide what to use my 30% off on....

I think Nintendo CG movies would make killer sells. There are so many gaming universes that I would like to see and play, but time doesn't always allow, but a 1-2 hour movie would be a perfect way to experience some game worlds I don't always have time for.

Wow, I dont generally complain about free stuff, but i didnt realize our coins expire. I just had 530 silver coins go down the drain. And you guys in Europe really got the short end. This seems more like a sales scheme than real rewards.... I wonder if we can give feedback on the program. I miss writing reviews on club nintendo, it felt like you were earning your points

@brandonbwii Was the music that bad? the teaser trailer had some awesome music imo... I never played it cause there was next to no story

I'm not complaining and I like how the coins are used, but I honestly forget about the rewards program cause I just haven't seen any rewards I'm into

If we had a new zelda game like this, i would just cry with joy

@SamirMalik Yeah i played and beat SMT4, but i think what I dont like about #fe is that for me it was more about finding the attack with a green "!" regardless of enemy weakness. In SMT4 you might have to decide if a super strong attack is better than pinpointing enemy weakness. #fe just seemed like looking for the "!" and mashing the A button. Granted I only finished about 50% of #fe, and I could have been playing it wrong to begin with, but it wasnt fun for me. :/

Above all they need to drop some heavy hints to get our minds in the right place before we get all hyped and in case the real reveal is not exactly what we have been looking for.

Oh Camelot. I almost want to replay Golden Sun but I'm waiting till it is virtual consoled on a portable system.

I just came here to read the bitter people's posts haha. Id love to see you guys that tend to cry more aggressively have an actually talk with a Nintendo business man like you do on here. Id pay all my coins to see that. (of course im not talking about us posters that know how to express ourselves without looking like little brats)

#FE and Persona Q have made me a little weary of crossovers. Persona/SMT and Fire Emblem were all about finding a working strategy in battle and #FE seemed all about finding the attack marked with a "!" #FE took out all the things liked in each franchise. I know I'm just a prick about games but I want the things i already enjoyed and not an overload of crossovers. Crossovers are fine if you like them but to me I feel like a majority of them are like suicide fountain drinks you made as a kid. They sort of work but the idea is cooler than the actual product.

Haha i am not a pokemon go fan, but I love how it bothers people so much. Let people do what they want, cause they will anyway. I don't try to talk people out of religion, or eating unhealthy food, or partaking in activities that are not "productive" cause people do what they want anyway. Sure call out the people that are actually cause harm others by playing, but as a whole just stop being intimidated by trends.

I dont like the style, but if i had a lot of family and friends close by with a 3ds I would probably get it

I love how there is just background noise and no music. Feels fresh

Nice!!! I hope NA gets treasure tracker soon. I wonder how much this increases sales ?

Stella Glow is a great game if you don't have it yet. I just finished it

wow! Luigi's Mansion for sure

Wasn't a big fan of the demo

@Nin10doh I am the same way. I downloaded Xenoblade X because it was a 100+ hr game, and now I just wished i have already beaten it, cause there are other games I want to get... Huge games are awesome!! But for me wanting to play so many different games they become a chore.

Im a little scare, have not played a Dragon quest game for years, but I looked up Howlongtobeat.com and its showing 100+ hours for main story.... Alarm bells go off telling me that's a bit too long. I wonder if I could even finish it

Nice balance of answers. I hope Pokemon Go is here for the long run. Its not my cup of tea, but its a nice pool for some hardcore fans and casuals to hang out in.

8 hours in, and though I have not been blown away, its not too bad. I have to consciously not take the game too seriously (with all the crazy crap that is happening the public seems pretty oblivious to everyone falling standing up) but I love the them and some of the music is great.

Ugh. Not against it, but I love my single player experience. Not interested in multiplayer

her voice is not quite what I would expect... but im still excited

Wish i was more of a SMT fan than Persona. For me SMT4 was just ok, but seeing "Atlus" on the start of the video is almost enough to make me go for it.

I would probably enjoy it more if I had more Nintendo fan friends. Having only two cousins as friends was hilarious but got boring after a week

@Sakura ahh ok. Sweet! Im so impatient haha

@Sakura I dont have that option for some reason...

I just hope its a newer slightly more powerful system. I dont care what gimmicks it has

I think I am going to avoid any news at all if I can

I am liking the sales. In general Nintendo has done a lot better at discounting prices. I mean the Nintendo selects are only 20USD and they are some of the best games their are. I think Nintendo's pricing is pretty fair.

I am ok with it. Just make it the best Zelda!

@ikki5 ah i understand, yeah NB was a little like that and I hated that part, it felt so long and the rewarding system seemed slow...

@ikki5 can you kinds of explain those problems? I have not played it so I want to know before i jump into the next one.

I skipped story of seasons cause it seemed too much like New Beginnings, but I want to give this one a shot.

YES! My favorite handheld Zelda. Glad to see it represented.

@crimsontadpoles
I didnt read the whole thing, but that kind of bugs me too. I play every game I can in 3d unless its poorly done and there is pixel depth confusion
