@westman98 that hasn't been a deterrent for Nintendo in the past. There's precedent here: DSi and New 3DS.

@invictus4000 LOL.

@NewAdvent "If it means we get fewer throw-away gimmicks then that's probably good news from a gaming perspective."

I don't think the two would have been related.

No way Bethesda is getting this game running on a Tegra X1.

Announce the Switch Pro at E3, Nintendo, and solve all of this!

Regarding Aces online lag, don't fret guys. DeNA is on the job 👌👌👌

So no labo then, eh?

Never been a fan.

gave back the switch i had and still use the streaming apps and browser on wii u to this day, like right now. with this comment.

oddly enough this game also received a wii u release in april...

there's no reason in the world this game shouldn't run at 1080/60.

@Stocksy why is that amazing exactly?

Coming to not switch

Well that's because Nintendo rarely considers any markets outside of Japan. They're very local in this regard.

Any game news is good news. Switch certainly needs any game it can get.

Dang no labo?

I may dabble in some state of decay 2 but definitely more far cry 5

@MoonKnight7 I dont either

It's pretty amazing (yet not too surprising) that Nintendo is on their 3rd iteration of a digital store front and still are having these basic, core issues.

@johnvboy I just don't see the switch expanding the market in the way Wii did. Essentially, I dont see switches piling up in retirement centers and rehabilitation centers anytime soon.

@8-Bit_Superman ok that wan't just me lol

Awww no soothing elevator music whilst constructing my mii??

@johnvboy "The PS4 is only selling as well in the west because Microsoft dropped the ball at it's initial Xbox One reveal"

2014 called, they want their justification back. Regardless, whether or not that's true, what does it matter? It doesn't. Also, just like Switch, PS4 is doing great EVERYWHERE.

You salty ninty fans crack me up. Let Capcom announce MH World for Switch and every single one of you will forget all the bad things evil Capcom has done to your precious and you'll be back singing their praises.

@MrGawain golf clap

This reminds me I need to get back into the DLC of this game soon.

@westman98 regardless, I still believe that if Nintendo sold this dockless switch worldwide it would still sell extremely well.

@setezerocinco I do often wonder, even if just initially, how well switch would have performed without BOTW launching along side it.

I don't see 1 2 switch being the wiisports of this console, is what I'm saying.

@rjejr "I could buy that if it had a charger. By not including a charger"

3DS says hello lol

Plus, it's just a USB-C, nothing proprietary.

@Rika_Yoshitake it is though.

@rjejr ah but you see, this isn't for people who already own a switch at all. The pricing is indicative of this as well. What Nintendo is truly going after here is the audience of folks that exclusively want a switch as a portable device only.

It's just that, by flat out saying this is a" switch minus the dock for you portable lovers" (effectively throwing their entire initial campaign to the wind) they spin the PR as it being a second switch. Please, we see through that like windex-ed windows.

But, what's most amazing here is the fact that Nintendo will go to these sorts of lengths after identifying how the market has dictated their switch use (heavy on the portable play, light on the docked play) but still will not budge on the D-Pad for the left joycon even though the market has more than dictated how they are choosing to play (heavy on the portable mode, light on the 2 player joy con mode). Just give the people a d-pad already, Nintendo.

@GrailUK you just haven't been paying attention!

Old Nintendo = good

Nope. The prospects of owning another mint condition N64 controller trump everything noted in this article.

Day one purchase if it drops.

Day one.

@StuTwo no! no Mario Party for me!

@PanurgeJr le sigh.... I can't even today

Ah the Wii U pro controller, the greatest controller Nintendo has ever made. Off set analogs of the Switch Pro be damned!!

@PanurgeJr I kinda do love how much I get under your internet skin.

Now this I will buy. The thought of owning a brand new N64 controller is too enticing.

Had it on Gamecube.

git gud at hacking, I guess?

although it's pretty hilarious reading all the Ninty fan boys in here all up in arms about hackers. One dude even suggesting throwing all hackers in jail LOL

@gortsi yeah bro you prolly right yo

@gortsi who said anything about weird? Switch owners will buy it literally because of the lack of games to buy on switch.

I mean who is honestly sitting around going "man, I would totally get game XYZ but ya see, Runner 3 drops that week man. Priorities." Let's be real.

@JayJ it's a very shallow concept for sure.

@kobashi100 see my above comment.

@gortsi no i mean i'm referring to all the switch owners stating "day one purchase err mah gerddd" and whatnot.

This game will not sell well on PS and XB.

Nintendo should just continue re-releasing Wii U ports for Switch.

@Kimyonaakuma I honestly cannot tell if this comment is in jest or not. Well played, sir!

Day one purchase on the xbox!

Zombie mode will be great as always.

The best BIT.TRIP games will always be the Wii ones. The campiness of the look was half of what made them great.

Runner was fun, 2 was ok but grew stale. We don't really need a 3rd. But I get it, switch owners something something starved for games something something

@NEStalgia " Someone pointed out the other day that the top sellers in physical games on Amazon are always Switch games. Is it because Switch games outsell Playstation games? Heck no. It's because the #1 seller for Playstation is a PSN Store gift card. Most PS/XB customers are buying digital games now. But most Nintendo customers are buying physical."

Bingo.

I think it was @jaxonH or someone on here a few weeks ago bragging about the sales/pre-order position of DKC on Amazon as if it were a relevant metric.

The world outside of Nintendo has long gone digital, because there are legit incentivized reasons to do so. On my XB1 I own digital versions of about 30 games. I can download them on literally any other XB1 i choose to sign into and fire up my saved play session right where i left off. WHAT A NOVEL CONCEPT.

Yeah this will never take off on switch. Literally the biggest reason for its success is the prospects of its portability. That, and Nintendo gamers don't typically jive with always on, super fast internet connections.

rip labo

Still far cry for me
