The Ace Railgun Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 So a trailer that new console the NX Switch came out today, peoples in the Discord figured it'd be good to have a discussion place for it. Here's the trailer: Personally, I'm excited for this console, It's something different and could be really good, especially for gamers on the go. But what do you guys think?

ticketstoloservile Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 As a long time Nintendo Fan, I'm really impressed. Especially for the new features that the new system inconvenient has.. Let's us not hope that the Switch should not be as big as a failure like the WII U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ostoya Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Looks pretty swood. I hope it has decent third party support. I'll still buy the new Zelda for the Wii U as a farewell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it doesn't replace the Wii U but I'm excited for the sneak peek of that Mario kart game (hope it's an update for Mario Kart 8) I wonder if the switch will be a Wii U but just with portability added on Example: Wii http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1555/15553757/2909555-m_wii_console.jpg Wii mini https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Wii-Mini-Console-Set-H.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Watched the presentation livestream yesterday... I'm HYPED. I really hope this console succeeds, not because I really like Nintendo, but because I really like this concept, and the gaming industry needs SOMEONE to come up with new & fun ideas, regardless of whether they fly or not. The Switch will probably end up being the first Nintendo console I buy, and probably also the next console in general that I buy. Also, can "1, 2, Switch" even be considered a videogame? Can it really be a videogame if most of the time there isn't much video involved? For me, the pros are: it's a hybrid, of course capacitive multi-touch touchscreen joy-cons double as SNES controllers with analog sticks instead of d-pads joy-cons double as essentially wiimotes for each hand joy-cons have that HD RUMBLE (can't wait for 4K lol :P) which I've heard is pretty good, and I can definitely see lots of potential for adding just a touch more immersive-ness and feedback possibilities joy-con straps come with console and double as shoulder button size-enhancers console uses USB-C microSD card slot supports up to 2TB microSD cards and console supports external USB drives (which I guess can be plugged in either to those USB-A ports on the dock or plugged into the USB-C port on the bottom of the console (though I can't imagine the latter being a very comfortable solution in most cases :P) no region-lock, although I've never even considered buying games from other regions, so this doesn't really affect me And the cons would be: paid online with monthly game demos as opposed to Xbox Live Gold which lets you actually keep the games, and previous Nintendo consoles had free multiplayer controllers (well, everything other than the console, really) cost lots of money, and while it kind of makes sense, given how much technology is packed into them, it's still annoying joy-con grip that comes with console isn't a charging type, like the ones sold separately no microphone on the controllers as far as I know only 32GB of internal storage, though since the system uses cartridges I'm not sure how much of a problem that will be (nitpick) dock uses USB-A 2.0 ports instead of USB-C and so technically isn't as future-proof as the console itself "1, 2, Switch" isn't a pack-in title That's all I can think of at the moment... for someone who would prefer to play most games through a PC, whether through buying them on PC or emulating them, the Switch fills a gap that can't be filled by anything else. It's portable, powerful, designed for gaming, is VERY convenient, and is so, so versatile. When I have the money, and it goes on sale or something at some point, I'll definitely consider picking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepandshepherd Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I wonder if they'll make a Metroid game for it. That's the only reason I'd consider getting a Switch, since I prefer PC games and don't really like any other Nintendo game series. Then again, the last two times Nintendo made a Metroid game were... well, I have nothing positive to say about those, so I'll just say Metroid Prime Trilogy was excellent. One thing I find interesting about the console itself is that it supports Vulkan (and OpenGL 4.5) for graphics. Doesn't necessarily make it easy for small developers to put their games on Switch, especially if they're just using Unity or some other engine, but it's preferable to yet another proprietary graphics API like some consoles have. Less work wasted on porting is good for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillionTonBrick Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If they make a Mario & Sonic 2018 Olympics game for the Switch featuring Hatsune Miku, I'm definitely getting that console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedMantis Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I kind of want one, but I may not be able to get one for months if at all. I think it looks like an interesting console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDSB Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The Switch is definitely a unique idea, although it is portable, Nintendo has stated it's a home console first, there aren't many games coming out on launch, so I think in the end the real determining factor will be what other games come after launch to figure out how well it'll do. If it doesn't end up selling well I have a feeling major companies will pull out quickly as they did with the Wii U. However, it does have a decent price point, which will make it affordable for many, I think that'll be one of the few selling points it'll pull off for most people.
