And that's the thing that will be interesting. Social media has rumours everywhere but how many of those people will actually buy the switch?
@8itmap_k1d For a while I only gamed pc but got sick of upgrading the graphics card every 6 months and spending gaming time trouble shooting technical issues. PC is the cutting edge for those that can handle the price tag though 😄
@Undead_terror Lol yes we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the switch is powerful enough to run GBA games. Maybe it's the only thing they could get vr to work for??
@FragRed
I will definitely buy both, but you are right, if Zelda came out a month later it would give skyrim a chance. Then again it takes time for any new console to build a decent size user base. And besides we are all dying inside from waiting so long already! I still hold on tight to any small ray of hope that Zelda will make launch.
@Clownshoes I haven't tried Nintendo kool aid before, but I’m really into new things. Where do I get some and does it come in raspberry flavour cos that's my favourite!
On the bright side if this is true, at least it has some on board storage, and Nintendo games do tend to have a much smaller file size than you would expect.
If they release a demo before the whole thing I will cry, I won't be able to stop my self playing it only to be disappointed at it just being a taste. Anyways looks like we will be playing through skyrim first and that's pretty exciting too
@ThanosReXXX
Wow I think that was long enough to pass as a PhD thesis, impressive. You know it wouldn’t even surprise me if Nintendo don’t release exact specs on the 12th
@sonicmeerkat Fair enough, nice to see someone that sticks to their principles. Just hope you don’t miss out on too many good games. Can I ask what makes you continue to be part of this forum if that is you view? You are of course most welcome here
it felt like a tutorial video for Mario run. if they wanted to inspire people to buy other Mario games they needed to show off some gameplay from the other games
@sonicmeerkat that feels a bit like an over reaction. no company is perfect. none of us are perfect. that's just life. enjoying nintendo's games doesn't mean you have to agree with every business decision they make. on that bases none of us could play any system.
At the end of the day it was not the fans IP too use. If they tried it they would probably find more satisfaction in coming up with their own concepts.
Having ports fill in the gaps between Nintendo made games would help to make it a more well rounded console, but developers would need to see the switch sell well to justify continued support, I honestly do think it will sell well
The constant updates and online only games have made it hard to preserve modern video games. There will come a time when museums will be a thing of the past
@Nintendian I will wait for specks from Nintendo as much as I respect digital founday. But I look at the size of it and think "that can't be as powerful as ps 4 for a marketable price" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👽😭😭😭💀😓😓😓😭😭😭😭👻😓😭
They are a great partner for Nintendo!!! if things go well we could even see Nintendo release a super powerful machine next time around, nvidia defenity have the ability and experience for a project like that
Thing is Nintendo said they will tell us more about the games on the 12th I think we really need to hear these sorts of announcements from Nintendo themselves
I’m looking after an autistic guy that absolutely loved that video. I think that sums it up (he is Japanese mind you) truth is I’m over playing games that look like they were made in the eighties, bring on every game we saw in the switch trailer, that’s what I will be using my switch for, and you will never be able to get me off it
This is brilliant !!!!!! on other systems you need to go out and buy an expensive headset with lots of cords coming off it. This way the switch has a PORTABLE vr option built into it. If it works well enough this could really help the success of the switch. I would love them to say something about this on the 12th
Here in Australia ebgames tried to take online only pre-orders for the next shipment but so meany people logged on it crashed their website, I have excepted that it will be new year before I get one.

Re: Newzoo Estimates Less Than Five Percent of Users Have Paid For Super Mario Run
90 million phones with mario on them sounds like a job well done. I agree with the 5$ price tag been a better idea though.
Re: Poll: Are You Optimistic for Nintendo's 2017?
I think Zelda botw is going to be a milestone for Nintendo and probably more important than the concept switch brings with it.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch VR May Have High-Profile Support from Capcom
@samuelvictor
Thanks for shearing that experience, it actually gives me hope around this idea. It’s a concept I would like to see work.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch VR May Have High-Profile Support from Capcom
It's hard to imagine the switch having enough power to get that game running at the required frame rate, even if they do strip it back.
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon May Be Winding Down, But Its Legacy Could Be Significant
@ULTRA-64
Final fantasy 7 Followed closely by diablo 3 do you have a favourite of all time?
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon May Be Winding Down, But Its Legacy Could Be Significant
Splatoon is what bought me back to Nintendo. It is now my favourite game of all time and I don’t say that lightly.
Re: Feature: Looking Back at Nintendo's 2016
it is sad to see that wii U has so few games of its own. hears hoping switch gets a good number of games that aren't just VC games.

Re: Poll: How Important is the Virtual Console, and GameCube, for the Nintendo Switch?
@SteamedSquid
I’m with you on this one. I prefer to play an HD remaster than a VC and I think it’s worth paying the extra for
Re: Poll: How Important is the Virtual Console, and GameCube, for the Nintendo Switch?
VC games from past systems are a great thing to have but the switch will need great new games if it is going to make a name for its self
