Re: Developer Survey Reveals Worrying Lack Of Interest In Nintendo Switch

powersgenty

y'all are doing Nintendo proud with all this damage control. Reminds me of the Funzo episode from the Simpsons when everyone in Springfield is fighting to be the first one to buy the toy and the toy executives are watching security footage, goading on the rioters.

"Only 22 seconds from muttering to door smash. That projects to a profit of $370 million!"

"I'd still sleep a little easier if I saw some trampling."

Moe gets trampled

Never stop doing you Nintendrones, never stop.

Re: Editorial: 'NX' Development Documentation Gives Few New Insights, But The Leak is Far From Ideal

@3MonthBeef Calling other people "kids" and proudly trumpeting false equivalencies is a great way to expose yourself as the true online juvenile. Private photos and system specs are at opposite ends of the spectrum. All the leaked Switch info would have been made public in a couple weeks when the system launches. You and every other fanboy are being drama queens.

Re: Poll: Does Nintendo Switch Need Streaming Apps and a Web Browser, Or Is It All About Games?

I don't use apps or multimedia features on my xbox or ps4, as my desktop PC is attached to my TV, but I could definitely see myself using them on the go when I've grown tired of gaming during a long commute. Something as simple as an ebook reader would be awesome. Tablets and the like are a waste of money because they don't offer enough bang for my buck, but next gen gaming + ebooks, videos and music would get a purchase from me. As it stands, the Switchs' game offerings are slim, with Zelda being the only title worthy of its high price tag. I was going to grab one sometime around launch but the lack of high quality games and missing portable features is a major turn off.

@Paddle1 I'm one of those customers. I've been wanting an ipad type device for e-books and watching videos, but I find the prices too high for something that I would only be using on the 20 minute commute to work. I would believe all this talk about selling more than the Wii if the Switch had has much functionality as a standard tablet on top of next gen Nintendo gaming.

Nintendo makes a console that can be played anywhere but leaves out web browser and app functionality, which is necessary to login to 90% of public wifi hotspots. I'm at the airport on a two hour layover with Mario kart Deluxe in my switch, but I can only play against the CPU because airports require a browser (or something similar). How did they miss this? Am I wrong? The only places that I can think of without this restriction are local shops and smaller malls.
