Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Well to be fair, Take Two is on the list of publishers and developers that have been confirmed to be working with the new console. Could mean nothing as NBA2K should be on it as well.

Yeah I see take two on there. I'm just not sure I see red dead 2 running on this. Red dead 1, San Andreas etc. I could definitely see stuff like that.

Nintendo says there will be no more news until 2017. No specs, region-lock information or other game announcements from them.

Thing is we don't really know if this is true. I'm far from sold on this go anywhere thing.

It's a portable system, like a 3DS. There's nothing to be sold on in that regard. The difference is, this can connect to a TV.

Of course there is. Battery life, wifi importance I'm sure there are other things too.

I am buying this day 1 no matter what. I simply am a sucker for first party Nintendo games. I do however have some concerns.

Power: So the Dock is just for charging and TV output. So basically the system is just a tablet. How powerful can this really be?

Memory: I have gone digital only on my Xbox and I love it. I am assuming this will have an SD card slot but you will be really limited with the amount of content you can keep on your system. Guess I will need to buy and label multiple SD cards like the PS2 days with memory cards.

This is a mistake. If there's any "bad/disappointing" info, Nintendo needs to get it all out in the open now, not last minute as that will piss people off. Announcing any bad news now would allow them to then show games in February to get back on the positive side.

Battery life appears to be 3 hours on a Switch dev kit. It better be longer than that. Also, no backwards compatibility whatsoever which in regards to Wii/Wii U is a positive but not allowing 3DS games to be played on a portable home console baffles me but whatever.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Probably a dumb question/idea, but with the system having remasters/updates/changed versions of Mario Kart, Splatoon, and I've heard Smash, would there be a way to do like they did with the 3DS Ambassador program?

Reward those that actually purchased a WiiU and those game, and let them 'Switch' their WiiU game for the Switch version for possibly a small fee. If the game retails for $60, maybe 'Switch' your WiiU version for a Switch version for $10-$20??

What's the current battery life of the 3DS?

Depends on what you are playing.

Here's a chart for the 2DS, 3DS XL and New 3DS XL. With the 3DS's being the center and right side.

I don't understand why you aren't sold on the go anywhere aspect. You can go anywhere with a 3DS. Why would this be different?

If EA brings their sports lineup over this would be hard for me not to get. Love the idea of it being supported via TV and mobile

Because I think it might hold the console back. I'm also not sure about battery life.

Honestly the go anywhere isn't even appealing to me anyways. I wish they just would have made a console.

They did make a console... that can also go anywhere.

For those of us who travel a lot for work, this gives us our next Nintendo portable. For those of you who want a console experience, leave it hooked to the TV and be done with it.

Yeah.....We don't know that yet though. They are not giving any info out anytime soon. It could end up being closer to a tablet than a console.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

I am not sure if I am going to get this day 1 or not. I love Nintendo and I am one of like 5 people who liked the wii u lol. Wii u was much better then the crappy wii but I am not really ready for a new system right now. November makes only 3 years since xboxone, ps4 came out and only 4 for wii u and really Nintendo stopped for the most part with the wii u like a year ago. It is going to take a lot to impresses me but maybe if there are some other great games to go with Zelda on day 1 I will change my mind. Sucks we are not going to get any news about price, specs, games etc in till jan. Nintendo and there marketing is so bad. If there is not at least one other great game on day 1 I may just get Zelda on the wii u and want for more good games to come out on the switch before I get one.
