Ronnie Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Nintendo are going all out, they're actually doing a Superbowl ad in the US... (Pause at 0:04 and have a look what book he's reading) Extended version is even better, if a tad too reliant on kids and 1, 2 Switch Edited February 1, 2017 by Ronnie
Kav Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Advertising at the Super Bowl is the right move, very aggressive from Nintendo, exactly what they need to be doing!
Grazza Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) That advert is so Wii-like, I'm now convinced Switch will be a huge success. It scores 10/10 on my Grumpy-Old-Git-o-meter. Edited February 1, 2017 by Grazza
liger05 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Really surprised they didn't pack in 1-2 switch considering how much they want to market it. Seems like a no brainer.
killthenet Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Apparently Kimishima has said that online will cost between 2,000 and 3,000 yen ($17 - $26) per year. Hoping that means it will be £30 max in the UK.

liger05 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) [tweet]826841955111890944[/tweet] Online service rough Japanese price. Not bad at all. On the adverts how refreshing to see Nintendo actually have commercial where the music isn't noise vomit. Those wii u ads and that techno music were horrific. Guessing any VR is on future iterations of the Switch as currently the resolution is too low. Edited February 1, 2017 by liger05

Dcubed Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) That VR quote sounds like a mistranslation to me. I get the feeling that it's meant to say that VR is something Nintendo is looking at, but will not consider until they find ways to solve the issues surrounding comfort and the anti-social nature of it (basically the same thing as what they said before a couple of months back); not that they actually currently have plans to actually incorporate it into Switch. As always, I advise waiting until the official translation of the investors' Q&A comes out in a few days. That price is encouragingly low though. Good to see that Nintendo isn't daring to charge the same price as PSN/XBL; there's no way they'd come off favourably in that comparison. Edited February 1, 2017 by Dcubed
Ashley Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 That wasn't part of the investors meeting (which has already been translated). I just assumed they did mean Switch but we'll never see it.
Dcubed Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) That wasn't part of the investors meeting (which has already been translated). I just assumed they did mean Switch but we'll never see it. It's part of the investor's Q&A that they always do the day after releasing their results. Serkan Toto usually attends it and offers early translations, but the official English translation usually differs a fair bit and doesn't come out for a few days after; hence the caution I'm giving. You usually get a lot of sensationalist articles spun out of these early translations from places like GoNintendo, but they're often not really accurate... Edit: Sumo Digital's Snake Pass is coming to Switch! http://nintendoeverything.com/snake-pass-coming-to-switch/ First I've heard of this game. Actually looks really fun! (and Sumo Digital are good peeps, I trust them to make a good game) Looking forward to it! (1080p on TV, 720p on handheld BTW) Edited February 1, 2017 by Dcubed
Josh64 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I think those adverts are fantastic! It actually looks like a sequel to the Wii but with all the extras of being portable, Mario Kart near launch etc. It makes the Wii U ads seem even worse than I remember:

I think the real problem was the product and how to market it? It can't be coincidence that the Wii u marketing never really improved. No marketing guru could come up with a decent marketing campaign.
Ashley Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 For every person that complains there's someone that complains about their complaint and someone that anticipates a complaint and complains about it.
Julius Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Online price is perfect. Super Bowl commercial looks great, as do the other videos put up on Nintendo's channel. Roll on March 3rd already!
drahkon Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Price seems good. But I'll hold off on further judgement until I know exactly what we get for that. Edited February 2, 2017 by Rummy
S.C.G Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 £25 or so sounds about the right yearly price for the online. Let's just hope that there are a few surprises when it comes to being properly revealed nearer the time which will make playing online simpler and easier or at the very least a more open policy when it comes to third-parties implementing features within their games assuming you've already paid Nintendo for the privilege to play online. A system similar to how MH3U worked on the Wii U will be fine for the next Monster Hunter game Capcom. I'm more intrigued about these monthly Virtual Console offerings which will have more features added such as online though, also I hope they get released at the same time as the other games, say week 1 of the paid service you get a set of say four or five games for that week (because it includes the monthly one) then for subsequent weeks we get two or three titles spread across a variety of formats, the same for weeks three to four and then rinse & repeat every month. : peace: Please at least let us have a few new unreleased gems though Nintendo alonngside the re-released titles which regardless of them having new features or not such as online multiplayer, we will have seen up to four times over at that point.

I dont know if I'll be bothering to pay for it until we get more details. It'll all depend on how necessary the mobile app ends up being and then of course if there are any games I actually want to play online. I'm not sure I actually ever played my Wii U online thinking about it.
Ashley Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Obviously depends what it contains, but £25 could be reasonable. Will be interesting to see if they do a 3 month version to lure people in. That would be about £7 at a guess. Very profound. I try.
Ashley Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I think one thing is clear presently, we all need to learn to stop worrying and love the bomb.

I can't help but feel the Switch is getting an overwhelming amount of Indie-like games... Is it an Indie?

Indies don't sell a system but it's all good. More games the better. Indies obviously feel there is a market and Nintendo gamers buy indie games.
