Yes omg. 5 months will go in a blink and I can't wait for the major events/Directs that Nintendo will have prior March. I'm already saving to buy as most games as I can on day one. 3rd parties especially. It feels nice to be a Nintendo fan and have something to look forward with this company again after 1+ year of nothing but dissapointment and not too many great games (exceptions of course like the latest Paper Mario)

I think that's kind of ridiculous. It's like saying you need a top of the line 2010 PC to match GameCube (based on Dolphin).TLZ said:
I don't think anything "common" has gelled yet. If I were making a chart right now, though, I'd probably go with NSW. Ignoring the other things NS can stand for, using only 1 character for the part of the name that isn't the company doesn't seem descriptive enough.oneofthose said:
I think any company doing straight up PS2->Switch ports as a test is just testing their own troll muscles. PS2 GTA ports would've been welcome on original Wii.I Wanna Be The Guy said:
Maybe not, but if it's supposed to mostly be a touch alternative when docked, you don't need that many buttons.Matbtz said:
Sure they do. If they wait to see how the Switch performs before moving 3DS dev resources over, then it's multiple years from now until we see any 3DS successor games on Switch. Way late. They didn't wait to see how DS did before starting Mario and Pokémon for it.jacksrb said:
Usually I don't really care if a Nintendo console gets third party support. I mean, of course I want them to be as successful as possible, but as someone who has always been a multiplatform owner it never really bothered me.
This time it's different. Give me all the third party games on the Switch. The portability is a big deal to me.

The console looks pretty good. It neatly wraps the screen.

Hey Watch Dogs 2 is very likely. Ubisoft even put Watch Dogs 1 on Wii U.

There wasn't a single family or child in the Switch trailer so it seems Nintendo isn't going after the same demographic as the Wii and Wii U.

I know I'd be willing to rebuy plenty of third party ports just to play them on the go, and I'm sure a lot of people feel similarly. As opposed to Wii U third party ports that were either inferior, or just added some token gameplay features that didn't really warrant buying the same game again

I bought quite a few Vita games I already had on PS3 just so I could have a portable version of them. I'd do the same with Switch.
We heard the same for the Wii U.

I wonder how Cloud data will play a role since you get My Nintendo points for Cloud data management I think it was.

Call it NES for NintEndo Switch
Same. I always just get multiplatform on PC over my PS4, because it just looks better there and it's also a lot more convenient to play games. I'm usually on my PC anyway, so firing up Steam is a lot easier than turning on my PC and PS4. But if I could get games on the go, I could see myself double dipping on quite a few different multiplats

Nintendo hasn't invested in online. Why do you think the trailer focused so heavily on local multiplayer. The online infrastructure will again probably be worse than PS2 era Sony online.
Because they were showing off the unique feature of the Joy-Cons?

cmon now, this is just silly....
Wii U online wasn't even that bad. I mean it obviously isn't up to date with the PS4/XBONE but I don't see how it's 14 years out of date either

Rumours about the left option button being the camera/share button imply that it will be, at the very least, easier to share content from Nintendo Switch than from current Nintendo consoles.

PS2 online wasn't even the best in its generation, ha ha.
I'm not familiar with Rocket League as much but isn't that a game people play online alot. When taking the switch out for portable play outside I'm not sure you would want to o!y it if you can't find WiFi.
Edit
Seem someone mention Overwatch same reason that fame won't be a big deal on Switch.
Something like GTAV would be cool as that has a extensive single player mode

Speaking of Blizzard, I'd LOVE a Switch port of Diablo 3. Diablo on the go would be absolutely perfect.
It couldn't be hard to port, since they have 360 and PS3 versions of that game.

So, some things that I've saw in the video and my speculations:
1: Backward compatibility Wii via VC
in this frame
we see something like an ir sensor, the same we had in the wiimote
And the sensor bar?
Switch:
2: Jcon have L/R buttons
in the video everyone use the joycon like if they use L/R buttons
the guy in the right hit the R button, you can see clearly in this frames in the video
Thanks for this good analysis; I like that. It is so exciting.
And Nidhog, and Samurai Gun.
Just because it can be used on the go, it is still a home console as well, and benefits from primarily online games just as much as consoles that lack a portable mode. Not to mention that they could add a streaming lan mode for portable use which would add a whole new element to the game.
Since the Mario Kart seems to be a mix of a "remaster" (same engine, models etc) and a new version I guess it could be there just after the launch or for the end of 2017.
I need at least 3 big games to buy it. Zelda, Mario Kart and Splatoon 2 will do it. Don't really care about 3rd parties since I have a brand new PC, except maybe FIFA because of the portability, but I doubt they could run the next-gen version on it.
oh yeah and please have Mario Maker and Smash Bros, didn't have the chance to play them on Wii U and now that the NX is coming
Screenshots and video clips are likely but streaming? I doubt it.
Nope. Playing on a screen that size when sitting back using a pro controller is madness.

I do that with the Wii games on my gamepad. Works fine.
You can be close to the screen, for example in a train, there wouldn't be that much difference with the default controls.
On flights and longer train rides maybe but on daily commutes I don't want to have the Pro Controller with me.
Yeah I play smash on the Wii U game pad sitting on my table often. It's a low latency display and from that distance (2ft) it isn't a problem whatsoever. Your eyes must be fucked because there is nothing "mad" about it.
Edit: derp* am drunk
uh huh?

The top one could be cool usage, the bottom one I just don't ever see as being practical outside of the initial novelty.
Board game night maybe?
Well yeah, of course. That doesn't mean the Switch shouldn't get any online capable games, though. I just want to play Rocket League in bed, haha.

screen is just too small to have more than one person use it simultaneously. I'm trying to imagine having 2 or 3 people huddled around an iPhone or even iPad Mini to play a MP game and I just don't see it.
