Hype.
The only game the press has is Zelda.
Yea, had to hold off on Horizon for now. 2 games is fine, but 3 games would just be dumb, no way could I effectively balance playing all 3.
And if I had to beat all 3 before Persona, jfc...
I want Nier ASAP as well, so no way am I waiting. It'll be interesting going back and forth from Zelda to the presumably far darker Nier.

Plus, online services haven't been kicked on yet. Press can't connect to the eShop, start building their friends list, or any of that stuff. Even if they had Bomberman right now, they wouldn't be able to play it online.

Oh ok. Also do we know if the app will launch day 1?
It's so crazy that so many games that all kind of overlap the same two niches are out at the same time, and they all have the same crazy high level of quality and even a soul (crossing my fingers for Nier here). I mean I guess Zelda isn't in a niche but still, So many quality games in the span of little over a month. Madness.

A controller randomly unsyncing from a system is a real issue. There is nothing subjective to it. The only reason someone would say it isn't is because they're a contrarian. The thing that you use to control the device is functionally not working.
That's like saying the steering wheel on your car not turning is only an issue subjectively. It's not. You literally wouldn't be able to drive your car without it, like you cant control the system without your controller.
The lack of a web browser might suck, but that is the only thing out of the two that is subjectively an issue. You don't need a web browser to run a video game system, and you almost certainly have something that already browses the web on you most, if not all of the time.

Eh, the innards are naturally a step up but the rest of the hardware design on the switch is ass. There is no way I'm taking my switch out of the house over my New 3ds in its current form. The new joycons are really the only reason I want a switch at all.

Guess you didnt see this thread? So glad I canceled my preorder.
I saw it, and I'm super bitter about it.

We know definitively that it's not, but online play will be there on day one for Bomberman. The app is launching in a beta form during the summer, presumably to tie-in with Splatoon 2, the entire online service exits it's beta period in the fall, at which point we'll need to begin paying for it.

Just Dance and Fast RMX also use online.
You're confusing a 50% trade bonus with 50% off.

How are all of these people satisfied with getting Zelda on the Wii U, when Nintendo looks to have created one of the most elegant, well made and critically praised pieces of hardware in decades?
Like, I'd be crying into my keyboard as I typed, "yep, good thing I got a Wii U."

To be fair... I don't either... but the urge to not buy a Switch is higher lol

There's is an AMA with a Nintendo life staff and he said he paired the joycons with the PC easily.
That's awesome.

it's 50% trade in value bonus on games. If a game is worth 10 dollars credit for gamestop, that means it'll be worth 15 dollars credit towards the Switch and all things related to it.
I can't handle this!!!! AHHHH!

So the last Nintendo console I had was the Gamecube.
Missed out on a lot of good titles on the Wii and WiiU.
What are you guys thoughts' on how well Nintendo will do digital backwards compat. with those platforms on the Switch?

When people are confusing MSRP with retailer-specific promotions and discounts, what's the difference?

Any further info about these disconnecting Joy Cons?

They don't care for the handheld aspect, nor do the launch games appeal to them outside of Zelda.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Which is funny, because apart from the joy-con thing (which is probably a simple fix via patch) - all the reasons people are whining are ridiculous reasons to cancel a pre-order.
When did people start caring more about these things than the games? "Yeah not buying one because I can't see how long I'm playing my game" - I mean what the fuck? Seriously?
yes, people are cancelling their preordes for the lack of bluetooth support
It didn't sound like it from any of the times Nintendo has talked about it, but it's not required to play games online until the paywall is switched on later in the year.
joycons last 20 hrs, why would I want it sapping juice from the Switch when undocked at all?

This gets wronger every time you say it.
What are talking about? As far as I can tell, pre-orders are still sold out just about everywhere (online at least).

Good catch, I don't know why more people aren't talking about this. I remember this was speculated on a few weeks back, but this would appear to confirm it! That's perfect for me since mine will likely be plugged in in handheld mode most of the time.
They most likely will let them update prior to the review embargo on March 1st. Today is just the day they can start posting previews/impressions.
The app isn't required to play games online period. Just apparently for party chat.

Do we know now whether that tactile screen technology is actually in the system?
Dunno if this was already posted, but it's not in the OP so: Easy Allies showing the OS and UI.

What?
... I don't know man, you tell me.
It really is. I'm going Zelda, Nier, then Horizon. Mostly because I know Horizon is long, and from what I've seen in the Nier thread it's a shorter game, like 7 or 8 hours.
Outside of money concerns, I don't get it either. If you're definitely going to get a Switch but you're waiting until Mario comes out or whatever, why not just get it now to play the superior Zelda experience? Why wait if money isn't an issue?
Makes sense, NDAs would probably forbid them to take 12switch to a party, which is how it's meant to be played.
Hrgghh. Day 1. (On my Wii U)
Unsure. A few of the bigger games on Wii got digital releases on Wii U, but the Wii U was natively backwards compatible, so that may have made the port job easier. They'll probably release enhanced ports (MK8 Deluxe) and sequels (Splatoon 2) to the big games on those platforms, along with a sprinkling of some of the more popular titles available digitally
Well if you haven't preordered one it's going to be a hell of a hassle to get one anytime soon anyways. Still, unless you're strapped for cash, if you want to play Mario, Splatoon, or any future Nintendo first party games it's an inevitability. Why not spend the extra to play what seems like one of the best games the year in the best possible light?

The only negative is that there are other Mass games Nier launch that I'm interested in also playing, but this purcahse is having quite the Effect on my wallet!

25-30 actually, it has different endings and what not.
