So I've been keeping up with the Google notifications for the NX, and I've just heard a few interesting things.
1) The NX was not revealed at the Tokyo Game Show
2) The NX was given a $399 price tag
3) Get this: the NX is going to be a "reboot" for Nintendo with cartridges and a 720p screen
I just get mixed feelings about that... I mean sure it's great that Nintendo is self-aware of the mistakes it had made with the Wii U, but after Star Fox Zero, I've been wary about Nintendo's "return to form"s. Other than Breath of the Wild and maybe Smash 5 rumors (5mash?), the starting game lineup is eh (Dragon Quest and World of Tanks? Seriously?), and it's not going to surpass the specs of Xbox One Scorpio and whatnot. Anyone else got any thoughts?

It's seriously unlikely that they'll actually go back to carts. Zelda gameplay we saw at E3 wouldn't even fit one a cart. Probably not even a compact disc. Nah, the nx is most likely gonna be bluray

I'm not even talking from a fanboy perspective (although yes I am extremely impatient there too)
Whenever you're releasing a brand new product, it takes time to advertise and hype it up. They need to sell consumers on whatever the NX is, and at this point they have 6 months to do it.
They're not being cruel, they're shooting themselves in the foot.

FLUDD has tried to look into possibly unreleased Metroid games that Nintendo abandoned, and after doing some research, he came to that same conclusion.

Because for the amount of space a cart can fit, a disc still fits more. And a bluray disc (iirc) can hold 4 times as much as a regular compact disc. Its just the most efficient way to store data

They have more storage, yes; but carts have a distinct advantage in cutting out loading times, which is something discs can never overcome.

Back to King Boo, it's around Halloween... is this Nintendo's way of showing a spoopy DLC 3?
Also, concerning the 3D Mario, while I didn't catch the heart, I couldn't help but notice the two clips shown: one was some tropical (Latin?) city or other, and the other resembled a sandy fortress of some sort in a desert (Middle Eastern?) So maybe this "new Mario" concept is a world adventure, similar to that in Sonic Unleashed?

Augh, I think that naming a video game console the "Switch" is always going to be inappropriate. Whenever I hear "the Nintendo Switch", I keep imagining that Nintendo suddenly started making electrical equipment and stuff you can put in electrical circuits, not more video game consoles. The name "the Wii" is ripe for inappropriate jokes (mainly involving pee), but I think that a name implying that it's for the wrong industry is the bigger turn-off.

In all seriousness, Emulators let you play games you could never have due to restrictive pricing and a lack of an official translation.

I'm on board with the idea of "enhanced ports" that people have been throwing around, where the game is rereleased for the Switch with some new features; in this case, MK8 with King Boo (plus more??) and double items, or SM3DW with a new world, or Splatoon with hairstyles and new maps.

The new item system alone takes the cake in my opinion. I really hope they don't make Mario Kart 9 already xD
I don't think they'd go from a 6 year gap (Mario Kart Wii [2008] - Mario Kart 8 [2014]) to a 3 year gap (Mario Kart 8 [2014] - Mario Kart 9/Switch [2017]). This isn't counting handheld Mario Karts though.
As for the new Mario game, It looks a bit different than Super Mario 3D World. Looks more like Super Mario Sunshine. I HOPE it's something like Sunshine or 64. That alone would make the Switch worth it.

I think the way the WiiU handled the touch screen worked out nicely. It was there and very nicely functional, but you didn't need it for a lot of games. Unlike the DS where literally every game used it in some way.

Zelda and Mario are currently the only games I'm interested in, so idk if I'm going to use the money I've saved for the console right away.
And yeah the console is $300 with no game which is just yikes. I might have to hold off until they at least bundle it with something.

Seriously so excited for this. Console comes out the day I leave for a tour with one of the ensembles at my university, so I can play Zelda while we're on the bus! (Thank God it has outlets.)
The lineup of this console during the first year alone is enough to warrant a purchase from me. Zelda and Mario look fantastic, new Xenoblade is dope, hyped for Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, TWO possible Dragon Quest games, and I'm super interested in ARMS even though its just Wii Sports Boxing with extra stretchy arms.

I might have to hold off until they at least bundle it with something.I get why you're hesitant, and I would be too. The way I kind of see it is that perhaps they might look at it like they did the 3DS: Mark it down a bunch a few months later and then throw a shit-ton of VC games at the "ambassadors" who bought it for full price. One can only hope.

Yeah noc, basically what nebbles said with the addition of a March third launch with Zelda, splatoon 2 this summer, mariokart 8 deluxe 4/28 and supposedly a lot more third party support. Also battery life is hella weak.

I would say I was disappointed, but honestly it's exactly what I expected. Nintendo is just hilariously out of touch with the market.
I'll probably just get the Zelda Master Edition and put it in a closet until the switch is in a bargain bin (or Nintendo fires and rehires everyone).

You two are joking, right? Where to begin... There's a hilarious lack of software, especially at launch (minus Zelda, ofc) with basically them just showing off their "see look third parties are on board" rather than actual games, the battery life is too ridiculously limited to be useful, accessories continue to grow in price (but that isn't really exclusive to Nintendo), they obviously focused on the mundane features (HD Rumble?) rather than their lack in power when compared to consoles that are already on the market, and more. The only thing that was real news was that it won't be region locked, but most everything else was p. predictable.

The Switch itself is expensive software and won't be able to match the Xbox One and PS4, especially when it comes to pricing.
As for the launch titles, they're a little thin...which isn't very surprising. They could've used another big title (like Zelda BotW), or at least had Super Mario Odyssey ready in time. The holiday is way too far off to be releasing gameconsole-selling games in my opinion.
I think it's great that they are bringing games from other consoles (for example Skyrim), but games like that won't sell the console when you can buy a different console that is cheaper with the same game. They need more good exclusive games that will sell the console (like Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey). Those are my two big concerns: expenses and lack of games at launch.
1 2 switch isn't Wii Sports. I know a lot of people didn't like Wii Sports, but that is the game that first drew me to the Wii back when it was first released. Wii sports sold approximately 82.79 million, which is pretty dang good. The highest-selling Wii U game only sold 8 million (Mario Kart 8 ). Also, Arms? No way.

Because it was packed-in with the system.
Listen, I'm excited for this system, but I'm not gonna sit back and act like it's God's gift to video gaming. It still has some serious problems, but this is a step in the right direction imo. This system offers something no other console has at the moment, and that's portability. If people want that, there are some sacrifices that have to be made.

The battery life is a little chintzy but honestly if you were expecting more than 6 hours at most you're delusional. This isn't a smartphone or tablet we're talking about here, this is a fully decked out console designed to be totally mobile. Hell, even most smart phones don't last more than 3-4 with constant, extended use; and they're not playing full video games like Skyrim on it.

Yes and no. $300 nowadays is not terrible for a new gaming box, but the price increase of controllers in general in recent years has become outrageous.

Actual games has been Nintendo's increasing downfall. As of right now, these are the only launch titles announced:
Has Been Heroes
Just Dance 2017
Snipperclips - Cut it out, together!
Super Bomberman R
1, 2, Switch
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
I am Setsuna
Skylanders Imaginators

Ignoring Zelda (since nintendo does nintendo fine), these games are all garbage/casual/party games; there is no meat here. Sure they have the support of "over 80 game devs," but if all we see are ports of preexisting games that I could like, play on steam right now, then we have a crippling issue. Example: Skyrim is not new and I don't need a Switch to play it. Bringing third party support back in is only really a good thing if they bring new games with them.

Yeah, but this is a NEW thing. Generally new things are expected to have qualities surpassing current things. It doesn't feel like quite a successor if simple things like the battery life can't be decent enough for a road trip. If I were some big name company who lead the market in hand-held gaming and wanted to move some of that success to console gaming, battery life would and should have been a major part of the development process.

Technology doesn't develop that quickly, and Nintendo isn't in the energy market. Besides if you are going on a road trip I'd be surprised if you didn't pack a charger for your devices, the Switch is able to be charged with a USB C port which is already an industry standard.

Again, not the point.
When the Nintendo DS was in development, Nintendo refused to develop the prototype farther until it could survive a drop from 5 ft ten times in a row. Just because that was a hard thing to do did not stop them from persevering, and the system ended up better because of it. Methinks that because of the poor WiiU sales, Nintendo might have been more focused on getting SOMETHING done soon rather than get the job done right. I wouldn't be surprised if we see an updated version of this console (assuming sales don't repeat the WiiU (HUGE assumption)) in which they actually address this issue.

I align myself with Olimar's stance, particularly on the pathetic "portable" aspect.
Rather than push for a solid portable system, with similar ease-of-use, longevity, and compromises as 3DS, they pushed for this "all-in-one", which sacrifices on performance tremendously to put in an outdated Tegra SoC (because they couldn't wait any longer to rid themselves of the Wii U trash heap I suppose)
Nintendo will never see large 3rd party support, whether it's just the same multiplatforms or exclusive content, unless they can really push their marketshare higher. They are not doing a damn thing to move in that direction. It's honestly uncertain what audience they're targeting with this console. Fanboys will always buy it obviously, but that's really all they're getting here.
Casual market? This lacks all of the notability, ease-of-use, library/support base of iOS devices, which is honestly the performance tier and market they're competing in at this point.
Hardcore gaming market? Nobody beyond the most dedicated of Zelda fans is going to even consider this when they, as Olimar said, can play nearly every other title mentioned on Steam. Plus, half of the Nintendo titles in the next year will just be ports/adaptations of Wii U titles, which will be going on clearance at a great price.

Remember how many launch titles the Wii U had? 32. And then what happened? The infamous Wii U games drought. I'm assuming they want to pace their releases better, which is why there are less launch titles for the Switch. If they release decent games every couple of months I think they'll be fine.

I don't mind that it's essentially an upgraded clone of the first game because the first game was fantastic. I like to think of this as a port to the Switch with a crapton of added features, which is fine by me.

but it's an exclusively online game. Making a second game that isn't the same as the first splits the playerbase

um, yes it is. The core gameplay is the 4v4 battle, not the story mode. Mario Kart is the same whether or not you go online

splatoon is one of my favorite wii U games. How are none of you understanding my point?
Me: A second splatoon is a bad idea, the people playing the first one won't be able to start a match
You guys: Splatoon was great, this one will also be good
Me: I know splatoon is great, I'm saying a second splatoon is a bad idea when the game is already predominantly online
You guys: but splatoon is good, you shouldn't bash the sequel yet
Me: I'm not bashing the sequel, the servers are just too small to support both games
Seabass: I agree, splatoon 2 is just gonna be the same as the first
Me: gives up?

Splatoon and Wind Waker are the only Wii U games I own, ever since I sold Sm4sh.
On an unrelated note... all of those rumours about GameCube games on Switch Virtual Console make me wonder: if it actually happens, what happens to PAL games where you can choose between 50Hz and 60Hz?

Are they going to immediately transfer all of the Wii U Virtual Console games to the new eShop, or gradually start the process all over again until I lose interest, patience, or graduate high school?

So I read on NintendoLife about a Steam game coming to Switch, and since it's I guess a horror/adventure game I was mildly intrigued, but I'm REALLY interested after seeing:
"We've transformed a series of hidden gems of Johann Sebastian Bach into chiptune retro style to create unique soundscapes. 24 minutes length of 13 masterpieces."
Lmao I'm so there for a game scored entirely with Bach
Edit: I forgot to link to the article. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/06/mystery_and_horror_adventure_the_count_lucanor_is_coming_to_switch

I mean if I bought one I would definitely get some other games, but If I bought it it would just be because odyssey is coming out on it. I usually just buy virtual console stuff instead of playing the new ones :p
