Feels weird how harshly I went from "very excited" to "on the fence but leaning away" within the span of 1.5 hours.

yep same here

i was all in yesterday and I cancelled my preorder this morning

 

[Got]

Whoever uses the JoyCon with analog in middle is screwed, lol

all three of them, lol

 

[Fuchs]

Can't watch the stream right now. What is their general consenus of the Switch?

 

[repeater]

truly the best platform for a new version of Street Fighter II

Whatever dude, the competitive scene has already moved on to Nitro+ Blasterz Heroines Infinite Duel anyway.

 

[LiK]

Tepid response. They're just going over the functionality.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I'm kinda the exact opposite. I went from "Meh. Whatever" to "I might actually need this"

 

[Hoo-doo]

Can't watch the stream right now. What is their general consenus of the Switch?

No verdict yet, just talking about what they've seen and played so far.

I feel they are not too hot on it so far. Jeff doesn't like that waggle is back.

 

[xxracerxx]

They're a little over 4" wide and over 1.25" tall.

Fucking hell.

 

[Sylas]

I don't really remember, but how'd they take to the PS4 announcement stuff back when that happened? I'm of the opinion that console launches in general are kinda tepid once the, OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN wears off.

 

[LiK]

They're a bit puzzled by some choices with the hardware design for the controllers.

They're discussing the games now.

 

[Hindl]

Can't watch the stream right now. What is their general consenus of the Switch?

They're just talking about functionality. Not too hot on the Joycons or the more Wii party like games. We'll see what they say about the rest of the games

 

[xxracerxx]

They are talking hardware choices (controller) being a tepid response.

But they are also talking about 1-2 Switch right now as being a party game.

 

[Megasoum]

Still no analogue triggers.....come on

 

[daveo42]

Yeah, that right controller looks like a nightmare to use.

What did vinny do?

The best voiceover ever.

 

[LiK]

I like that they're suddenly watching the Treehouse stream.

 

[xxracerxx]

Good point on the reliance on sound for this game and pitching it as a party game.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Still no analogue triggers.....come on

This is frustrating me way more than it probably should.

 

[kiguel182]

The party games are nice since the necessary controls come with the console but if there's something we have a ton of right now is same screen multiplayer games.

 

[Zaph]

Third-party airhorn accessories on the horizon

 

[FantasyFreak07]

I'm still surprised that 1 2 Switch isn't a pack-in game.

Arms has a great visual style. I really want to try it out.

 

[daveo42]

Table Tennis looked real good actually. Audio cues as a gameplay element work unless people or the area is too loud to hear the cues.

 

[RepairmanJack]

It seems like they spent more time trying to get everything into the controller and not enough time worrying about how it actually felt to use any one aspect of it.

 

[Zaph]

Jeff's mixlr synced to the presentation

 

[kiguel182]

1 2 Switch being a 50 dollar game is one of the most baffling decisions of this whole thing.

 

[TraBuch]

Perfect party game then.

 

[LiK]

I think after they sold Wii Music for $50, this didn't really surprise me. Still boggles my mind that it's not a pack-in for launch units.

 

[DrFunk]

"milked it dry"

alright now

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Dan is an expert milker

 

[Tubobutts]

Dan is an expert milker

Maybe that's why he really wants to milk a pig?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Zelda being framey both docked and undocked is pretty bad.

Fair enough but man, a mini game collection being that expensive is so dumb and as a pack in it would give those 300 bucks some extra value.

Totally. A good game to test out the motion controls.

 

[Hellsing321]

I feel like if Iwata were still alive he would have pushed to make 1-2 Switch a pack-in game.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I feel like if Iwata were still alive he would have pushed to make 1-2 Switch a pack-in game.

Let's not speculate on what dead people would or would not have wanted.

 

[repeater]

Haha, that's the "Nintendo style solution" headshake from Jeff right there when he heard about the timelimited rental nature of the monthly games.

 

[Zaph]

I feel like if Iwata were still alive he would have pushed to make 1-2 Switch a pack-in game.

A+

Voice chat outside the system in a mobile app. This HAS to be a misunderstanding...

 

[Hindl]

Nah Nintendo's just fucking up

 

[ThanksVision]

does the switch even have a microphone built in?

also when they say digital triggers are they talking about when the joy-cons are in the grip or when you are splitting them between you and your friend. i thought the former was analog

"We have a console for people who want voice chat - it's called the iPhone 7"

Its also P A I D

You're paying them to use your device. Genius!

 

[Mr. F]

Man.

1, 2, Switch reminds me of the side games that you unlock in Warioware, which only makes me mad at how great a Warioware at launch could have been. Especially now that you could port over microgames from Twisted! with all the gyro madness.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I feel like if Iwata were still alive he would have pushed to make 1-2 Switch a pack-in game.

Iwata's final words were "As for the pricing, I think we shoul-"

 

[Got]

I don't know. I'm sure someone in the Switch OT can explain to me why this is a good move by Nintendo.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Using my phone to voice chat while playing my game is giving me Socom PS2 flashbacks. Not in a good way...

"I want him to kiss those girls!!"

 

[repeater]

Oh Jeffy do you know what that's worth?
New Donk City IS a place on earth

That'd be great. Isn't the Wii game the last proper Warioware, a decade ago?

The defense of 1-2-Switch, that it's a drinking game. I don't get it. Do people need to spend $350 for a reason to drink? I might've answered my own question.

Cheers, appreciate it.

Speaking of which, they just announced this $100 peripheral.
