dazzybee Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I just can't get over how fucking stupid everything we've heard is. The price...no games bundled...paid online. What the fuck have Nintendo done... Didn't you argue for them to do a paid online service?!

Sheikah Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Didn't you argue for them to do a paid online service?! Something like a VC catalogue subscription! Not paid online for their 1 or 2 titles that you occasionally want to play online. Nintendo just don't have the kind of FPS games that you sink countless hours into online or the established friends lists to keep people there. Nintendo have always been the crappy online providers but people put up with it because it's free. Party chat is being done via a phone app for god's sake!
khilafah Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 extra Dock is $90, a single Joy-Con is $50 these prices are crazy!
liger05 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I am thinking they should have went with a straight up handheld with reduced costs. I am struggling to see who this machines sells to at the current price. I would of preferred that. I'll likely get this still as I'm a sucker and want Zelda but this is a tough sell. The joycons price doesn't surprise me as they seem to be packing tech in those but the dock and pro controller costs are outrageous. Biggest worry regarding the joycons is they to me look like they are a receipe for people to accidently break. Edited January 13, 2017 by liger05

I bet people play smash, Mario kart, platoon as much as a FPS that people sink countless hours into. And you talk about friends lists and such but how do you know that will be there. And you may say crappy, but that was exactly why you wanted them to charge wasn't;t it? So they can improve it? Party chat is mental I agree, but the mistake isn't charging for online, it's worrying signs it won't be a good system!
MindFreak Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 No Splatoon 2 thread? Have anything been confirmed about the game - changes compared to the first or anything?
Serebii Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 No Splatoon 2 thread? Have anything been confirmed about the game - changes compared to the first or anything? My bad. Give me a sec

Goron_3 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 As always, the best part of any Nintendo event is Serebii's meltdown afterwards. Dat Twitter feed.
Blade Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Charging online is fine as long the service provided is good. On my PS4 I get free games every month and party chat from the OS. With the Switch its looking like I need to pay to use smartphone to speak with people online (I can use a phone anyway). I do get "free" games but they will only be free for a montb. On the information available I don't think it sounds a great service.

Love you too man :p I admit the Switch isn't perfect, and they have ballsed up in places but some of the hyperbole going around, good grief. There was a person saying they fucked up by not putting a hard drive in the dock, not understanding how ridiculous that is No trophies/achievements I take it Any "achievements" would likely be akin to ones we have in Mario Run and Miitomo and tie in with My Nintendo
Blade Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 No trophies/achievements I take it I'm still hoping an equivalent is announced.

Party chat is mental I agree, but the mistake isn't charging for online, it's worrying signs it won't be a good system! Surprised you aren't agreeing with me on this...It's just not good. I'd pay for a service if it's worth it but what Nintendo are offering just isn't. Party chat through a phone, game rental for a month...What are they doing. £280 with no game packed in, more expensive than the current systems by far. What the fuck.

Charge for everything or just for online battling while the trading remains free?

Esequiel Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 The more I'm reading about this online the worse it is sounding. I'm getting serious vibes that this launch could be the biggest fuckup since "Saturnday" turned into "out now" lol Nintendo is turning into Woolworths. Supplying a bit of everything at an extortionate price while not doing any of it really well. Still, a PS4 port of Zelda with trophies could be nice down the line haha

Goron_3 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 What today highlights is that games and content is where Nintendo exceeds, with Mario, Zelda, Xenoblade all looking terrific. It's everything else that's a mess.

I know things aren't ideal, but why such hyperbole? Only issue in my view is cost and maybe that weird mobile app online thing. Launch line-ups always suck

Else they done fucked up It's gonna be hard to do that, I mean why should someone have to pay to play one game online but not the other? It will get messy if you start picking and choosing what is free and whats not.

Hero-of-Time Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Aren't there games on Xbox and PlayStation that can bypass it though? I think MMOs and FTP get away with it because of subscriptions and microtransactions.
