Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

At the same time? Ala XB1/PS4? No I don't. I expect to be buying 2-3 copies of games. Is what it is. Don't love that at all though.

But copying saves or games to a new system? No question and probably by this summer.

I lost games from Wii to WiiU but Nintendo recovered them all for me.

Gotcha....just hate having to buy things multiple times, but maybe just once and share, i'll figure that out as I go...not an issue quite yet, but their digital strategy has just been such a negative.

Agreed. But I bought 3 copies of Mario Kart 7, Mario Maker and Super Smash on 3DS so I'm just used to it I think lol.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

For me Honestly, It's MOBILITY factor, I'm all bout mobile gaming. I still have yet to even take the dock out of the box, will do this weekend. I think the system is very well made. The graphics are great IMO.

The only I can say I dislike is the the library at the moment, that's all. And that shouldn't really be a dislike cause the system just came out. Otherwise I love this system.

Yeah, I kind of figured that it was the mobility aspect which is the console's number one positive. I'm obviously the opposite. Outside of playing SM3DL and RER on 3DS and owning an original GameBoy back in the day, im not a handheld gamer at all. For me, it's going to be all about playing games on my TV.

I agree in regards to the launch library but every console's launch is basically the same so can't really say it's a negative and it does have Zelda which is at least a month or more play time worth.

Thanks for your response.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

I know I've criticized Nintendo's decisions a lot, the price tag of the Switch, the lack of games, the questionable hardware, the bugs and all of the issues surrounding the launch, but as I've said before it's mostly because I fear another Wii U.

Well things are looking up, possibly, I am cautiously optimistic. All of my criticisms may be for naught if this thing succeeds but we are in lap 1 of a long race. However I would be remiss if I didn't say this makes me feel better about investing in this thing come Mario Kart time later this spring.

P.S. someone asked a while back, why myself and others keep posting our issues and concerns. It's not because we enjoy being negative, it's more about the fact that we care about seeing this thing succeed. At least that is the case for me.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

What's the one thing you like and dislike about the Switch? Interested to know since you're not a Nintendo fan. Thanks.

Though I am a Nintendo fan and a BIG Sony fan after the PS3 era I'd like to chime in on this in constructive way


I personally don't care for the portability factor of the system. what I DO care for is the form factor of the joycons in the grip. Absolutely a "Joy" to hold and using them. best controller since the gamecube (even though like everyone else I adore the xbox one, one as well)


Also I like the pro controller.


Those are the first things I really like about the system. It has the bare essential controller aspect down pat.


The other cool thing about the switch is that it brings a sense of collectability into my life again. It seems now boxes might be a thing to collect now. Bind of Isaac came with some cool manual and sticker items and I see that trend(or gimmick if you want to call it that too) become a big thing going forward and I enjoy that makes release dates more special again




Also what im really looking forward to is the indie library. many of the games announced are indie games and are indie games that have been on steam that I always felt worked better as a handheld.


And finally (even though I mentioned portability as not being a main thing I necessarily need or like) I really do like the fact that a handheld experience can now be easily brought to the big screen. Zelda is a game where you can grind for items and then boss fight on a big screen now to REALLY feel the effect of something grandiose

Yeah, i'll be there eventually. With the Xbox it's nice to have the family thing that lets me share a bit, but he's still young. Luckily kids don't need every new game, or you make them wait for holidays and stuff lol

Man I hate the joycons and even more so when they are in the grip. The only time I use them, and will ever use them, is when I'm playing it portable - and even then, when I'm on a plane it's gonna be 100% pro controller I think.

Different strokes for different folks. I really like the joy-Cons a lot and I have huge hands.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

I definitely don't wanna sound like a broken record but don't sleep on Fast RMX guys. It's a fun time and looks/runs great on Switch

But what I think is cool is that Nintendo gives you


4 options of control


1)Handheld
2)grip
3)separated
4)pro Controller

I got this game the minute I was able to set up the system


Once I can unlock the other cars(which look more like fzero ships) this WILL BE my fzero gx fix for sure

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

But I also have to piggyback my likes and dislikes of the switch by saying this


I got a PS4 and a Xbos one s.


And both those system have no game even close to breath of the wild on them


Does that make the system good in its own right? no... since it can also be played on wii u


Also im starting to think that ppl are divided into two thoughts


1)Zelda is a launch game on switch


OR


2)Zelda is the last game on the wii u




When twilight prioncess came out on wii I waited for the gamecube version and preferred the gamecube version


complete opposite this time The switch version is my preferred version to have
