We all know it only needs one (it's not 1-2 Switch). The reviews aren't lying. Couple more good games before the end of the month, then MK8D next month and other indies.

The Switch launch games were Zelda, Bomberman, FAST RMX (digital.. so not sure if it should count) and a few others but which is the one people bought to play it? Zelda. Bomberman and etc are mere bonuses. Bomberman Switch isn't perfect but it's functional and fun.

Honestly I'm looking at those PS4/Xbox one titles and seeing a bunch of shit and rehashed third party sports games/shooters, HD remakes of good games. Basically a bunch of cash grabs.

I really don't see that switch launch lineup as anything THAT bad. Its not great but its certainly not bad for a gamer. Its lacking quantity but I can forgive lack of quantity when you have a 98/100 metacritic launch title which has not been done Super Mario 64.

or your everyday person not into videogames, its a bit disheartening not to have FIFA, call of duty, assasins creed... but if you're buying a switch for those games, you're going to be disappointed in the long run anyway.



I do wish they had MK8 at launch but I understand their logic for not.


Im not bumming the switch BTW. I think they've still made the big mistake of an underpowered system which wont get third party support. I think they would have been better off with an updated 3DS + a dedicated home console in a simpler form factor but Nintendo want to push the envelope one more time. They evidently also have 3DS titles still in production (pokemon, upcoming fire emblem) which will be a huge cashgrab.

Also lets not forget that converting those 3DS game-making studios into 720p HD creating studios whilst not trading in graphical fidelity is going to be hard as fuck.

One of Nintendos biggest issues which isn't spoken about is their own expressed difficulty in making the step up to HD graphics from the wii-days.

Yeah ofc if I was expanding my list I'd say in order of greatness: BotW, Fast RMX, Snipperclips, and I've been obviously tempted to re-buy Shovel Knight, probably even Treasure Trove. Because there's a killer 6-hour portable game. Has-Been Heroes on the 21st and Snake Pass the 28th. I'll have to check when certain showcased indies are out too. Then MK8D late April. No complaints about release schedule, I've been able to safely pre-order half of this stuff. xD

I might buy the new Shovel Knight if it gets a physical release.
 
Fun fact 5: When removing Joycon strap, Do NOT press the release button. Then It Will slide off effortlessly and not cutting your hands in the process.

A 3DS isn't worth very much nowadays and even worse for those wanting to sell their 2DS, unless it's one of those "rare" 2DS systems.

I can't speak to EU, but the 3DS is doing very well in the US and has been mostly unavailable at stores since December. Stock is just now being replenished. I was able to trade in an beat up O3DS for $130 at Game Stop. I Just sold a plain red used New 3DS on eBay for $280 that included a 64GB mSD card.

i'm FUCKING TRIGGERED OVER THAT THEY DON'T CONSIDER DEAD PIXELS A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND WON'T REPLACE THEM!

Because they're not entirely wrong. Dead pixels are common in screens. It's bound to happen, whether you agree or not if you want to blame someone, blame the supplier of the screens. Yes, Nintendo should help with some sort of replacement or repair.. But it's not entirely their fault.

I agree with mgrev. Zero pixels should be an standard in 2017. Everything else is just bad practice.

They don't consider a few* dead pixels to be a manufacturing error, several other things can cause that. If like a tenth of your screen is dead I'm sure they'll replace the screen.

4. bluetooth headphone support should have been sorted, looks like an oversight.

Probably a technical limitation to avoid mass returns. The last thing Nintendo want is more interference issues with yet more 2.4GHz being used. I think it was purposely left out because putting it in would make semi-reliable wireless a lot worse. If anything, I think wired should be given far more emphasis now.

Okay, on launch how many titles did the PS4/XBOX one launch with?

The PS3/XBOX 360?

Can you detail me their LAUNCH titles?



I look & compare and honestly apart from the lack of MK8, I think as a launch title lineup.. its fine.
Click to expand...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_console_launch_games#Seventh_generation
18 for XB360
14 for PS3
25 for PS4
22 for XB1
10 for Switch

Using strictly U.S. titles.
These other 2 titles that makes 12 either are not listed on wikipedia page yet or are foreign releases that you guys are counting due to switch's non region locked nature.

EDIT: Sorry, overlooked the fact this topic had a 2nd page. My bad.
