Why does the black chicks home look all fudged up but the white kids house looks all nice, white and pristine. The chick has like dark yellow nasty walls with what looks like a bullet on said wall,lol. I find it funny, others might find it offensive.

I thought the switch was all about couch co-op. This review makes it seem as if no such games exist on the console. Beyond that, great review.

I'll just stick with my crappy phone headphones

I thought it was gonna be some sort of sit-com. I was grinding my teeth already. This set up isn't too bad though. It amounts to some pretty good advertising.

@olrodlegacy
Buying stuff digitally is almost the same thing. Once servers go down you can't redownload anything. Also gamefly.

My money is on God of War 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@iammikegaines
Retro is busy porting Tropical Freeze for the next gen Nintendo console.

We get nothing besides Fifa from them right? I don't really care but I wouldn't mind some sort of battlefield game on my switch. It doesn't have to be the most cutting edge one but I'd like to get my "rush" on in my switch. What happened with the added support?

@AlexOlney the handles are a bit long and too thin. I think that's the issue that makes them look weird.

@OorWullie
I'd be willing to bet they know exactly what is being announced. Nintendo can at times go to E3 with things they find exciting, and only them. Besides smash this might be one of those E3 showings.

You can't shake a soodowoodo. Too heavy,lol

@froggyogden I'm sure they are stable to find more.

@thesilverbrick
My mistake. Seems you were correct about wild battles. That takes away a large part of where my time goes in these games. Sorry sir or ma'am.

@thesilverbrick I keep hearing that wild Pokemon battles are out, but I don't see why people think this. Is it because all you see is people catching wild Pokemon and not battling them. I still see tall grass as well as Pokemon running along the tall grass. I'm guessing they are only showing the portion of wild battles when you choose your ball and throw it in hopes of catching a wild monster. I'm not too certain about the other deeper systems but I don't see Gamefreak abandoning those, specially since they don't disturb gameplay and have existed alongside the core game without a need to use them. A lot of folks still consider Pokemon for kids and casuals as it stands now, even with all those deep systems you love.

@thesilverbrick
I honestly don't see what you are complaining about. This is basically blue and red in HD(well yellow to be precise). This is the main RPG series but with a very limited roster. Although 151 Pokemon did not seem limited when Pokemon were first introduced. The catching motion is a bit funky but I'm sure you can use a button press too. The battles I think could look a bit flashier but it's perfectly fine as is. What exactly is it that you find so off putting about going back to Khanto? Personally I'm going with Evee, it would make taking out Brock in the beginning a little more challenging. I wonder if moves will have the old attributes from red and blue or will they be closer to sun and moon?

@burninmylight
Custom Robo is next

No stability, no dice. I've grown accustomed to stability updates by Nintendo. So much so that any update without stability will be deemed unacceptable in my eyes😂😂😂

@N64SNESU
Bored are we?

Yay? I'm happy for this but it's a year plus late. I wouldn't be surprised if it tanks

@AlexOlney
I'm not fond of admiring other's balls, but on your advise I shall admire some balls.

Bull spit

I think he meant it because it's a very stressful time for them. With all the planning and such.

Dear nintendolife, please don't go to such heights to try and "protect" my eyeballs. Thank you in advanced.😁

Dude Dom Reseigh-Lincoln do you ever proof read any of your stuff?Every one there is some form of error on your articles. Generally I don't care but aren't you like the big boss? It doesn't set a good example when most of your articles seem to have mistakes easily remedied with one little read through. I'm sure you meant "on the cards", rather than "on the cars". I know it's small but it's everyday and mostly on just the stuff you put out. Show some pride in your work. Sorry for being so judgemental but I've been thinking this since you got your position. Have a good one.

@Oat unmasked was good fun. Specially if you are a DC fan.

@Folkloner
We'll be lucky to get just one of those things you mentioned

@faint I think they learned from the Wii u about capacitive screens. They got a lot of crap because the Wii U didn't have one. It did do just about anything else you could think of but developers just couldn't figure out what to do with all those gadgets and gizmos on it. It's sad really there was still a lot of good games that should have taken advantage of the Wii us capabilities. I've been gaming on Nintendo since I was 4.5 and couldn't even hook up my own system. Now at nearly 33 I've passed my love of all things Nintendo onto my three kids, with varying levels of results,lol. I think Nintendo found a way to recycle all of those old Wii U HD for the switch and choose to have a less impressive chip set in order to save some cash. No one was guaranteeing their consoles success and I'm sure even though they went all out with the switch some things were done to make it affordable yet still awesome.

@faint Honestly, when they revealed the joy cons I realized that we wouldn't be getting the X2 in the switch. I knew a large part of the consoles cost would be the controllers. I'm very happy with my switch but I would have gladly paid an extra fifty to one hundred bucks for a bit more umphh.

@faint logistics is not something I'm well versed on but I've been gaming on Nintendo since the first NES. I've been reading about Nintendo since I could read. I know the old guard, the guy Iwata replaced had the idea of using old technology to lower production cost at the forefront of their business models. The one time Nintendo went all out on Graphics was the cube. Which yielded luke warm results, as far as sales went. So yes Nintendo cheaps out. All the logistics of getting these things to work the way they do is soaked up by the research and development branch at Nintendo. Just look at the Wii. Besides having the graphical capacity of two GameCubes we got no DVD player....because it would cost more...same on the Wii U. Nintendo are cheap bastards....genuis cheap bastards, but cheap anyways. At the end of the day making money is their priority and sadly sometimes cheaping out is the only way to get that bottom line numbers they want. Being a Nintendo gamer for nearly 30 years now I've made peace with those facts. It doesn't mean that it doesn't bum me out that they continue to do it.

@electrolite77 the only reason the switch has sub par graphics is because Nintendo cheaped out.....again. There is no reason other then money why we got an old chipset when a newer version was already ready. This was the successor to the Wii U, not the 3ds. So yes it's a home console, regardless of portability. As soon as I found out that we were getting an outdated chip set I knew we weren't getting too many current gen ports. Luckily I've been proven wrong on more than a few occasions now. I'll take slightly less visually appealing ports as long as they aren't broken as is the case here. The switch is by all means a portable that Nintendo wants to sell as a home console. There is no reason why we should lower our expectations because Nintendo cheaped out again. We want home console experiences on this home console called a switch.

@Equinox
I take it you don't like American corporations? That's cool and all but I'm sure if you'd be losing a job you wouldn't like anyone considering it "good". I'm sure a lot of good people will be out of a job which will cause hardships for a crap ton of families. But I'm glad you find enjoyment in that.

Download only? That sucks. It will probably be 20 plus gigs. I was excited for this up until the download only news.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE No offense, but you suck. I was really excited about this but you reminded me of Labo. It's not a bad thing,labor, but I'm sure it will take up a chunk of this presentation with it being released next month. You just killed a bit of my hype is all.

I say Diablo and a bunch of third party stuff gets announced. All of them right around the corner too.

@Alikan
I'm not sure about this particular game, but most of the neo geo beat em ups were everywhere. Maybe you don't remember the arcades which would have four games. Usually a fighter, sports game, beat em up and something else. I loved those things, but as a kid I lost more quarters by pressing the start button instead of the one used to cycle through the four games. Oh the frustration. Then again it allowed me to play some games I wouldn't have otherwise.

A brand new game.......that won't come out on any Nintendo platform. Not to worry we'll get all the collections that have missed Nintendo so far. Because they are cheap to make and not as much of a risk.

Because a lot of money was saved by recycling the 32 gig flash memory that were to be used to produce Wii u. I've always thought that was that reason for the switches paltry internal memory. If it's true that they expected to sell a lot more Wii u's

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Did you ever play the sequel on the Wii? I never got to but I heard decent things.

Hello

Wasn't body harvest done by the studio which became rockstar north? If you play that game you can see how a GTA could be made by the same team.

@Anti-Matter so how does three halves works? Will it have 150 percent games? Half Wii u, half ps4 and half neo geo? That leaves no room for other games.lol

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
The art style and gameplay bring to mind Muramasa for the wii.

It looks less horrendous than the NES one,but that's not exactly a compliment.

@sillygostly
I don't know how old you are sir but I've always seen achievements as a way of just proof of beating a game or accomplishing certain,difficult task. When I was a kid there was very few ways of proving your gaming achievements to your friends. So you beat Mike Tyson in punchout ey? A picture or it didn't happen. That's only one example. I honestly think achievements were better thought out in the 360/ps3 era. They were usually locked behind progress in the game or doing something really difficult. Like say beating all levels on the most difficult setting. Now they are really easy to.....achieve. Some are as simple as going to the options in game. So I guess I agree with you when it comes to achievements in current gen machines. But I think in their original inception they were pretty cool and a fun little way of extending the life of a game.

The quote states that fifa is part of a few other titles meant to test the water. So let's see what other titles those will be.

I don't know what's at steak here but I hope sales meat his expectations. It would suck if he ended up thinking it was a miSTEAK to bring his game to the switch. He he

WTF? Really though? Then they blame us for not buying. A lot of people still prefer physical games. This decision just killed all of those peoples' intentions to buy. Oh well.

This will take up all my switch space,so no thanks.

They expected to sell 2 copies and they managed to sell a few more than that. So yeah "smash hit" seems about right

Instruction manuals or bust
