Nintendo Switch / Nintendo Switch Lite (Official Thread)

$300 for a shitty tablet that last 2-6hrs on a charge and some tiny waggle garbage controllers and glorified flash games. Yeah sign me up.

It's easy to see what they're trying to do with this thing.

They're listening to every one of you who bitched about Nintendo selling two systems with different lineups, and what a robbery it was. So they made a thing that's effectively both and is shitty at each aspect.

You may not like the result, or the price, or whatever, but it isn't rocket science to see what they're 'trying' to do here.

They're doing it in an obtuse way. Nobody complained about the Vita and the PS4 and Sony had crossbuy set up and everybody was happy.

This is Nintendo saying, you think you want this, idiots, but you don't really.

Hmm, lemme see if I got this right:

- 32GB of memory (LOL)
- Questionable battery life in a device whose primary feature is being portable (LOL)
- Insanely overpriced accessories (LOL)
- No region-locking (YAY!)
- a REAL online network (YAY)
- Voice chat and lobbies done from a phone app (LOL)
- Free games with subscription (YAY)
- Free games are only NES & SNES games (LOL)
- Free games are yours for only a month (LOLOLOL)
- Launch library is basically Just Dance, Skylanders, and Zelda (LOL)
- Anemic 3rd party support (LOL)

I think I'll pass for now. Maybe in a year, when this thing finds its legs...

Y'all are just trying too hard now

Seriously this.

[Chux]

I wanted it, finch. I did, I signed up to be alerted when it was up on Amazon, but the presser did nothing to make me say I need this anywhere close to day one. Maybe when Splatoon two comes out or maybe when Mario odyssey comes out.

Crossbuy and crossplay are such great ideas that didn't really go anywhere. Sadness.

[SamuraiMoogle]

I don't think we are being too harsh. Nintendo really does make the best games but where are they? They showed almost all shit. Arms looks like it belongs in NintendoLand, not a standalone game.

Trying harder than Nintendo, amirite?

Seriously, I think I listed valid points. There's simply way more bad than good right now. Hopefully, Nintendo will clarify or fix things before March.

I think what they showed was a good reveal. But launch is two months away and I get the feeling that they just don't have much more than what they already showed. This thing is going to have no games for a while. Maybe by fall.
