"Monthly game" Nintendo tries to make it sound like they're competing against Sony and Microsoft. :rofl2: Giving rental games for a month is a joke.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Three more games have been added to the Nintendo Switch’s day-one launch lineup.

Feel the same way as the chick on the left.

OTOH we don't know price or other incentives. If it's $2-3 a month, who cares really, would be as good as/better than MS and Sony as long as it had lobbies and voice chat. If it's $5/month, I'd expect at least Steam-level discounts on games occasionally in addition to the monthly "rental." Otherwise those NES/SNES games better be $5 or less to buy for subscribers. At $10/month or more I probably wouldn't play online and neither would anyone else.

It's like to come back to N64 era! but in 2017... NOT SO COOL!

Also, thread edited.

But without the 64 MB limitation XD The medium itself isn't an issue now, as they can hold what, close to 20 GB or something?

N64 used carts, the only major issue was the limited space, 64 MB tops. Now, using carts nowadays isn't an issue as they hold several GB in size, there's nothing wrong with using them now.
But for something is Expansion pak, ins'--- wait, that only increases RAM :/
Im very impressed how cartridges evolved! i still remember when Gameboy Cartridges limit was MB, not GB!!

The Expansion Pack only increased the RAM to 8 MB, carts had a capacity of 512 megabits (64 MB), gone are the limited capacity of cartridges. The carts were the downfall of the N64, but the 3DS, DS, etc used them and are both very successful.

Meh, some games didn't changed anything with Expansion Pak, like Pokémon Stadium, nothing!
SNES Super FX chip was too op on my era.

Oh, yay.

Pay $59.99 and then pay another $3-5 here and there.

More games at launch is good news, still only old games from Wii etc.
We need more games added by March and hopefully a great E3, I can totally be sold on the Switch still, I want to hacked soon too :D

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
