liger05 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The switch looks very thin. If this launches at £250 I think this could fly off the shelves. because it's thin???? Because it doesn't look like a toy. It's an actual peice of tech from Nintendo which I think could be desirable at £250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 yup, being thin means it has a greater surface area to mass ratio. That's important for maximising uplift per kg. It's true. I have many an ex who can confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh64 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I remember Reggie awkwardly showing the WiiU on Jimmy Fallon. They quickly played some Mario 3D world before its release (which included one of them clipping through a chunk of the level) and played a spot of Game&Wario bow and arrow stuff which was... Lacklustre to say the least. I'm glad times have changed though, the Switch demo was a lot better. But damn, Jimmy seems less sober than ever.

Jamba Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I've been looking at the vid again and I'm starting to wonder how rugged it's going to be. I'd say that was a given for Nintendo but the 3DS certainly has changed that reputation with that crappy hinge. Specifically, I'm anticipating issues with the joypads and where they attach to the screen. The contact area seems pretty small and I'm wondering if a reasonable twist would break them.

Ashley Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Finally watched the Fallon video. Why is Josh Lawson sat next to Miyamoto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Probably just the colour, but the first image kind of looks like the Switch logo. Not that I believe in any regards it is, just noticed the similarity when watching the video.

Hero-of-Time Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 One more month until the big reveal. This presentation had better be good, especially given how long we've had to wait for all of this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 4 weeks we'll know a lot, hopefully everything!! With Star Wars this week, then 2 weeks off for Christmas, a little January get away for me; it's going to fly by!!! Then just 2 months and it's here! Mental!

I can imagine Nintendo still holding back some information next month. I just wanna know about their online setup. Now watch them completely ignore the subject.

Ashley Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The PS4 Pro one was odd because it wasn't a new console demo like we've seen before, it was very much a weird tech thing. Ah well, still beats 10 minutes in the yarn store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownferret Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 At this point I can't see how it can fail. We already know pretty much what it is and what it's main "gimmick" is. Whilst for me personally EA not supporting would be a kick in the guts, I'm still getting one. A HD portable console can surely only do 3DS numbers as a minimum. There may be some annoyances but nothing that's a deal breaker. Battery life might not be great but USB charging means you'll be able to top up the battery pretty much anywhere. It might not have voice chat but Kav aside I can't believe many people would not buy this just for that reason. can't wait to find out what the launch titles are and what bundles will be available.

Ronnie Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Looking forward to seeing the UI, achievement system and any other nifty features it'll have (Streetpass, Miiverse etc) Can we not go there again?

Serebii Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think we need to not expect massive third party support at launch. Throughout the year, there will be significant support, but I think that launch is to be predominantly Nintendo and Nintendo paid for titles Unfortunately, that may make people discount the Switch as "just another Nintendo machine", so hopefully at the event next month Nintendo outright show all the support they're getting in 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I'd put to you though - would you have said at the same of the WiiU around its launch or seen its poor performance coming back then? It's easy to speculate and get excited and hope it's all going to be ok, but I feel like we've been burned more than once and it's made me rather wary. Don't get me wrong - I'm still rather excited for the system and looking to keep something to hand so I can buy it when it comes if it ticks the right boxes; but I cannot say it's something I'm going to definitely be getting on launch...yet.

The buzz around the Switch is 10x what the Wii U had. I remember feeling distinctly underwhelmed by that system, in terms of the games, messaging and the console itself. I don't recall anyone exclaiming "Day 1!" when the Wii U was first announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did... but then again I was missold it after all; Reggie saying it's online would be on par with the other consoles, Iwata saying there'd be no droughts, them saying they were going to add multiple gamepad functionality to the console.
