Very funny.

@gaga64
The Wii was €270. Switch is only €30 or so more.

@drich255
It look's like an improved version of Wii Sports boxing. I'd imagine it'd be physically tiring playing it. It looks fun.
How long would somebody play it though?

Switch has a bit of everything Nintendo has ever done.

I'm not sure about 1-2 Switch, but Arms looks like it could actually be good.

3Ds is selling and Nintendo are trying to keep it that way. But as a platform, 3DS is history. I can't see it getting many more big games.
I could be wrong. This is all off the top of my head

@gatorboi352
I think most Nintendo fans do know the story. Maybe you don't know the story

You buy a PS4/XB1 to play 3rd party games.
You buy a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games.

I've a Motorola phone with a built in battery. Motorola are getting like Nintendo. Too big for their boots.

Half the people complaining here won't even be buying a Switch.

I'm sure that's the price Nintendo want and intended it to be.

I don't like the way they won't mention the processing power. I think it's a bit underhand. They did nothing but talk about it during the N64 launch.

Whatever suits eh.

Your Bose ear buds 😊 You really like your tech.

@impurekind
I'm not sticking up for Nintendo buy maybe the HD rumble is more complex that we know. I don't know.

@elcheleivan
Yeah I know the GCN version is expensive. That doesn't necessarily mean the Wii u botw will be expensive in the future. It might be though.

@impurekind
At the end of the day botw is a Wii u port. It wasn't developed to utilise Switch's capabilities. Mario 64 was designed around N64s features.

It is so obviously a handheld that has the option to plug into the telle. It takes small little cartridges like all handhelds do.

I think the Wii u was Nintendo's last home console. Nintendo's strength is the handheld market so that is what they will focus on.

I'll get it on Wii u. The online will be cheaper

If it plays as good as it looks, this could be very good.

Best 3rd party game I've seen has to be Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers. It looks superb. Nintendo seem to be looking back to the SNES era with USF2 and Super Bomberman R.

If they keep looking back and make a new F Zero I'll be happy and I'll buy a Switch 'when the price is right'.

I hope Nintendo and 3rd parties can turn the tide and 3rd party games start to be more successful with Switch.

I love the artwork from the NES era. Fast forward 30 years; cool artwork missing from Switch packaging.

@JaxonH
I didn't say that. I am interested in BOTW but I can play it on Wii u. I also interested in the new Mario game and Pikmin 4. I want Waverace, F Zero and Metroid. I've no interest in Splatoon

I know Nintendo are still capable of greatness but their strategy has changed. If F Zero appears on Switch I'll bite.

I don't know what to make of Switch. It doesn't excite me. I'm not into playing games on a tablet. Nintendo are going after a new generation again.

It's time for me and Nintendo to part company. I love Nintendo games but the games I love are not being made anymore. Nintendo stopped making the games I love when Hiroshi Yamauchi retired. That Nintendo is long dead. The Nintendo I love was the greatest video games company ever.

That said, Switch can still be a success. Games can save it and nothing else. Nintendo games. Switch has freed Nintendo to make more games, so who knows.

@Waninoko
Don't put down your country. I went to Gdansk on my holidays last year and I thought Poland was a fantastic country.

The launch line up at the moment looks mediocre. Zelda is a Wii u game. Arms and 1-2 Switch are not the kind of games I'm after and Splatoon is probably the only first party Wii u game I didn't buy, so not interested in Splatoon. I'm not going to be buying Mario kart 8 again either.

It's about the games and I'm not impressed. I'll be interested in Pikmin 4 and the new Mario. Will I buy a console to play 2 games? No.

@geordie
I got a deal something similar. Brand new Xbox one elite £200. That's with the Elite controller and hybrid 1tb hdd. I have to admit I like it more than my ps4 slim.

I think Switch is probably designed to be able to get a reasonable price cut after a period of time. If it's not it's history.

You have to hand it to Unisoft. Just dance is genius from a business perspective. It's not a complicated game to make and they managed to sell 65 million units.

You guys at NL really do try to pull articles out of hot air. ☺

It might have sent out the wrong message packing a game of this nature.

It'll start looking like Wii 2

Pretty annoying. I'm practically out of memory on my Wii u. I have a 32gb stick in it. I'm not getting a Switch.

Has anyone else noticed?
N64 UK release - 1st March 1997 - £250
Switch - 3rd March 2017 - £279
Exactly 20 years.

A brand new console being released at $300 /£279. Shocking...

The new Mario game looks amazing.

@Peach64
"Nintendo's unfounded arrogance" Are you serious? Sure they were arrogant but it certainly wasn't unfounded. Nintendo I think deserved to be a bit arrogant. They were different times but this was a company who had created the SNES, still to this day regarded as the greatest console ever.

Nintendo certainly worked their magic on the N64. I wish that Nintendo were still here today.

I know now what you mean by the dead zone. I downloaded F zero X last night and noticed the dead zone immediately on Silence. And this is after the update.

The speed improvement over pal is awesome.

Rage inbound

@GeminiSaint
Sorry dude but "Capcom should issue an apology at the very least."
What are you smoking?

I bought Mega Man Legacy Collection on PS4 last week for 4:99euro. It's on sale until 20 January.

I never played a Mega Man game and thought it'd be a perfect introduction. I like it.

@TbobB
I prefer the fantasy where they give you one for free. 😌

@setezerocinco
Where I live (Ireland) I find them very expensive. Plus a lot of new games they have are missing the plastic. Luckily they are other options.

I think anyone who gives GameStop money is mad.

@therealgamer
You conviently left out the "if" from the beginning of the quote and your on the wrong page. Lol

I bought Mass effect 3 for Wii u and never put it in the machine.

I can't say I blame him for not wanting to invest in Switch. I said it before and I'll say it again. It is unfortunate but people buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games.

I'd like Switch to be about the games.

Happy new year to everyone. I hope 2017 is better to me than 16 was. Here's hoping for good news in 2017

@Billsama
As people say; there's no I in team. There's no F in duck either.

@Morph
I thought that as well. Well maybe not bitter, but like; not a team player and thinks he deserves more credit. I seen it all my life.

Drama inside Nintendo HQ. I think a lot of project's are like this. You start out with an idea, but that vision can change as the project matures.

@WiltonRoots
I was playing it tonight and it's an amazing game. I hadn't played in in a couple of months so it took me a while to remember the controls. Love it.

My favourite Nintendo game of 2016 is Starfox Zero. I didn't bother with Twilight Princess because I have the original.

@thesilverbrick
Thanks. I didn't actually know that. So I could have the pal version and the US version on the same console.
