Yeah I don't think Nintendo learned anything from the NES mini. They should have released that console this Christmas again and saved the SNES mini for a time when there is no more demand for the NES (something that could literally be printing money for them..)
I'd much rather have a Virtual Console for Switch than a novelty console that will be available at about 5 units per store and then disappear before anyone can buy it.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I used to appreciate your comments as someone who wasn't always blinded by Nintendo fandom and could call them out on their problems but man are these comments annoying at this point. You're legitimately un-pleasable and such a downer. Maybe instead of pointing out every problem just to cause a rise provide a constucive and conversational comment. Yes the system is not perfect, and yes it needs the things you listed but how about not mentioning them on every article just because?
So far I really likl it, but I'm so terrible at the game. Online party mode is fantasic though! Loving the lobby system and the way matches ha;pen so quickly and seamlessly wihtout disconnects (as of yet).
@snailkid It will come. They always slowly roll-out articles after a large amount of announcements.
In terms of this game, it looks amazing. Mario Galaxy + Mario 64 + tons of other amazing new features = must-have switch title. With this it is no wonder that Pokemon isn't out on switch this year... Nintendo would never have enough systems
@Cosats You think its silly to expect a modern day UI to allow a basic feature that's existed for years? I love my Switch but come on, it is absolutely ridiculous that the system didn't allow such a basic feature at launch.
Tried on two separate days to connect and I could never connect to a match. I don't know if it is just my college's wifi not working well with my switch but it wasn't a good sign for me. All my other gaming devices connect fine to online games at my school.
@DanteSolablood Yeah between school and lack of cash I'll grab one this summer when we know more games. I believe that within a year's time this console will have a decent library of games with a promising future of many more (especially when the 3DS is dead)
While the presentation was disappointing to a degree remember: This is now Nitnendo's handheld AND console. Games will all come to this one system so we will never get as little games we did on the Wii U and the 3DS has gotten tons of great games. Now they have one machine to develop for once 3DS is done after this year. Pokémon will end up getting future games on this system in the next few years and I believe it will be successful.
I'm not getting one on launch day but I will in the next year

Re: Video: Nintendo Switch Controllers All Have a Power Button Hiding in Plain Sight
@manu0 When I've left my switch in sleep mode and not used it for more than two or three days, it tends to freeze up when I go back to using it.
Re: Nintendo Announced New 2DSXL, Releases 28th July

Re: GameStop Pitches In With Promise of US Nintendo Switch Restock on 22nd March
I hope this means more Pro Controllers too. I have my system but was stupid and didn't grab a pro controller and now I regret that.
Re: Reminder: The Splatoon 2 Global Testfire is This Week, With Two Arenas Confirmed
I really wish I could find a Pro Controller somewhere. That's the way I want to play Splatoon.
