People, please don't forget that some people don't have Apple TV/Chromecast/a Smart TV. For them, the Switch may be the only way to use Netflix on their TV.
@Alucard83 Wait... what? Apart from the fact that the city is probably only like 1% of the game, you're entitled to your opinion about that. But if SMO isn't what you'd call "original", then I really don't know what is.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Man.. "The games look like Wii U games". Almost all first party titles have improved visuals and a boost from 720p>1080p. What do you want them to do? Completely change the artstyles? Yeah, third party support sucks, but guess what? You don't buy Nintendo consoles for third party games. The Switch has an amazing first-party line-up, with games such as ARMS, Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey. And that's what a console is all about, good games. But hey, good luck playing Odyssey on your Wii U!
@MsgBoardGamer "I can hook it up to my TV and play video games. That's what a home console does."
Apparently if we talk about specs and functionality, it's a console. But if we talk about sales, woosh, it's magically a (with DS comparable) handheld. Guess someone's just salty the Switch sales are higher than the Wii U.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE They aren't limited if it's docked. And even if they're limited, they're still console games. The controller part is your opinion. And yes, it's weaker than other consoles. Don't see how any of this makes it less of a valid console.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's called a hybrid. It's no rocket science. The switch can be used as a full home console without any disadvantages compared to a "real" console. More importantly, it runs full console games.
If the whole business world, the whole market & all customers see the Switch as a console competitor, you can't just go around and claim otherwise. You can form your own opinions - really. But you can't form your own facts.
I honestly think it's hilarious if people attack Nintendo or any company for that matter for defending their IP. Oh well, I guess it's evil to protect your own work and make money out of it nowadays.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE "I meant it's not as powerful as the PS4/XB1 and it's going to pay a heavy price for that."
But it really isn't, and you can see that if you look at the popularity of the Switch. The lack of power didn't stop the Wii either from reaching 100 million sales.
Your complaint about the Switch is always that it is a "second" Wii U, right? But now you're wanting them to add a second screen to the Switch? Where is your logic?
And please, you're not in any position to talk about 'contributing' to anything.

Re: The First Nintendo Switch Cartridge ROM Dumps Are Emerging, But It's Early Days

People, please don't forget that some people don't have Apple TV/Chromecast/a Smart TV. For them, the Switch may be the only way to use Netflix on their TV.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Breaks Down Splatoon 2's Tech Improvements Over Its Predecessor
Mmh, if they can't get Splatoon 2 to run at a stable 1080p, SMO will probably (sadly) not get a boost either.
Re: Deals: Amazon Prime Day 2017 Round Up
@antdickens Well, to be honest, most people who buy Nintendo products also buy clothes. So why not!?

Re: Splatoon 2 And Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle File Sizes Appear On Nintendo eShop
@Menchi187 "Cue people not understanding art style and texture quality vs visuals"
Are you talking about yourself here? Hur durr, the games don't have a photorealistic artstyle! The textures must be low quality.
But hey, keep judging games by their filesize. Such a smart thing to do.
Re: Splatoon 2 Nintendo Direct Announced For 6th July

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Defends Nintendo's Indie Support and AM2R Policy
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yes, they made this decision in order to make money. Guess what? Nintendo is a company. Companies want to make money. Gasp! Evil right?
Re: Editorial: Nintendo Switch is About Colour, Fun and Sharing Games, For Those Unsure of Its Purpose
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm indeed pretty sure that the Switch won't reach that number, just saying that lack of power itself won't hurt the Switch.
Re: Nintendo Apologizes for Switch Shortages, Promises an Increase in Production
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Artificial scarcity has been debunked a long time ago. Move on.
