That's awesome. But, the way it reads is that you'll only have access to those games during that month. It's not a Games with Gold or PS+ situation.
What group of people is the switch aimed for exactely?
Way too expensive for the casuals with barely any incentive to buy.
Way too many bad news and lack of games for the hardcore. Paid online mode, weak battery and subpar graphics combined with barely any original games and way overpriced accessories?
I was kinda hyped and still want a Nintendo console for their librabry but thats some Microsoft reveal shit.

Because Nintendo's online services have been hot garbage up until now.

These are my top games too. Along with maybe Splatoon 2. Not falling for Xeno being as close as I thought last time.

How many times must Nintendo pull the football away before you question the wisdom of going hard for the field goal?
Plenty of people aren't okay with it on those platforms either.

Because they likely have little to show. This thing is probably being rushed to market in March for the sake of Nintendo's fiscal year or something.

They didn't announce them during presentation but Dragon Quest Heroes 2 and Super Bomberman R are launch titles announced so far too

I NEEEEEED THIS
It's why I don't own either. Luckily I don't really play online in Nintendo games but am not rocking in at that price. My hope is its so unpopular they just dump the policy.

Basically it's a two game launch and one of those games I'll be able to play on my WiiU. I'm going to hold off and see which of Nintendo's IP's they decide to use for this system. We didn't even get a new Metroid for the WiiU. We are long overdue for something like a F-Zero also. They have all these great IP's and make very little use of them.

I liked the presentation. One of the translators was terrible but I imagine it was better in a Japanese context
They announced a ton of games. I'm sure they've saved more core stuff for E3
It was a great presentation for the masses.
And omg, that Zelda trailer at the end. Wow. Absolutely incredible. Haven't genuinely felt this excited about a game in a very long time.
Got a bunch of exams around this time though...

I have no idea. It doesn't seem to have a clear audience.

So what about those of us who had tempered our hopes and were still disappointed?
Is it our fault it sucked?
Official nintendo Japanese twitter and Soraya Saga is saying Xenoblade 2 is 2017 release.
I think part of it is because people don't trust Nintendo to make the online service something that is worth paying money for.

So.. price on switch accessories:
1 Single joy-con: $50
Dual joy-con set (L+R): $80
Extra switch docking station: $90

Yo that is pricy. I definitely know I'm gonna wait a good year before I pick this thing up. Man $80 for two joy cons? Crazy.

What am I missing?

Somehow I thought Nintendo had finally figured themselves out and what they needed to do bring fans back. After the price reveal and now that other thread with controller prices, along with paid online for a service that will probably be nowhere near Xbox Live let alone PSN... This just feels like the evolution of Wii U along with it's over priced gimmick controller, but I'm glad I have that Wii U now so I can still enjoy Zelda. I hate feeling so negative towards the Switch especially this early, but I can't help feel this is the same out of touch Nintendo we've had to put up with since the Wii era.

That was...not good. Just not enough information showed like basic specs and launch titles. Gonna be a really tough sell for many.

Nintendo seriously out here charging people for the privilege of talking to each other on their phones?
That shipped sailed a long time ago. I'm just waiting for Mother 3 at this point.

I set my alarm clock to alert me 70 minutes prior to the event, yet I didn't wake up.
Luckily there is a VoD available so I am currently watching that.

Zelda at the end was the worst call ever. It doesn't work as a "one more thing" because we've seen it for years, and it just reminded me that it also comes out on Wii U. I just preordered it on Wii U because this presentation told me it's not worth buying a Switch until November.

This conference was a disaster. So much shit turning up that we have to scrounge through that easily could've been in there. No launch games or anything. WTF.
That Zelda trailer was amazing but man, that conference raised more questions than it answered. On top of the ones it didn't answer.
This is what should've been in the conference. A clear lineup of all the games available at launch. WTF...

Yup; I went in wanting to be won over with a device that would consolidate both ends of Nintendo development and give me the best of the last Nintendo console I skipped.
But between $300 initial price and $80 controllers, paid online, and that across the board weak line-up aren't making a very strong first statement.

Honestly it doesn't matter that this is Nintendo. I don't care who it is having two titles at launch is a fucking disaster....doesn't matter that one of them is botw. They better hope they can hold their shit together until mario launches closer to christmas. Hardware looks great and I could even stomach the $300 price but not having shit besides botw for launch is the deal breaker...at least until Mario launches. Honestly what the fuck is nintendo thinking??
How do you mess that up?
How?
It should have been called Fighter Emblem.
In all seriousness, i'm in for a Switch. I'm a little wary about the lack of discussion about the Virtual Console but Zelda being available at launch is what pushed me into the "Buy at Day 1" crowd. I don't think i've been this interested in a Nintendo product in quite some time.
But seriously, how did they not go with Fighter Emblem?

Can't wait for Crowbcat's video compilation of all the SNAPs.
I don't play console game multiplayer, but Splatoon 2 looks interesting. Probably not interested now.
I don't even give a shit. I had fun. This looks great. Party on.
He's even doing the Sonic Adventure mouth thing.
