10 Mind-Blowing Energy Drink Life Hacks Everyone Should Know

The tiny face buttons are terrible.
It always comes back to this doesn't it. Fans dismiss criticisms in favor of "yo it's a new Nintendo! Zeldaaaaaaa"
Nintendos biggest fans should be their biggest critics and more often than not the opposite is true.
Despite all the flaws Nintendo Hardware has, the games they put out are rarely compromised by it. (and Ninentdos Hardware has a lot of shitty decisions behind it)
I'm really underwhelmed by the switch, but if the games are good, i'll probably still end up getting one.
nah it's a plasticky POS. Coming from the X1 game pad on the PC it felt terrible to me.
I really wish I could give Nintendo another shot, but they make it so terribly difficult. The hardware pricing is frankly ridiculous for the tech, they never drop the prices on their games, and now they're charging to play online. Money really isn't an issue, but the value proposition they offer compared to their competitors is not even close. This new management staff leaves me with no hope they've learned anything after the sharp decline of the Wii post craze. They just constantly shoot themselves in the foot and it makes me sad.
Oh, don't get me wrong there's stuff I don't like about the Switch.
I think they priced it 50 dollars too high.
It seems insane that they didn't include 1, 2 Switch as a pack in. Also 50 dollars seems a bit steep for what I've seen on videos so far of that game.
The online service seems worrying. Free game for JUST a month sounds real dumb.
The launch lineup is real thin. (Zelda makes it worth it for me though)

Brad fishing for that pale chub in all the wrong places.
I wonder how much of it is left over from Iwata's influence, or if the new guard is just as out of touch? With all the talk in recent years of younger faces working their way into influential developer roles within the company it sucks to see these big decisions rooted in stubbornness to adapt.
Well, I like the idea of it, but I'll wait.

I think my problem with the Switch is the over emphasis on waggle controls. It's Wii all over again. The Switch seemed really great on it's own. I personally don't care about the joy cons turning into mini controllers and would've been perfectly fine with the joy cons simply existing to slide out of the handheld unit and into the Switch controller and have no other functionality (like waggle control). I really hoped the games themselves would have no control gimmick (except maybe some touch screen stuff on the handheld unit). Just traditional games. Now, I should say, I really am enjoying VR, which some call a gimmick. So maybe I'm being a bit hypocritical here, but I felt a little let down when everything seems to feel like Wii again. The Wii crowd moved on to iOS/Android. Maybe Nintendo should move on too.
I do think the ability to use the handheld unit as a portable display (with the kickstand to hold it up) is an awesome idea, though I couldn't imagine using the joy cons with it. I would most certainly want a Switch Pro controller.

I just don't think their software is all that good. Game & Wario, Nintendoland, New Super Mario Bros WIi U, Captain Toad, amiibo Festival, Tennis, Color Splash, Wolly World, Wii Party U; I'd classify all those games as middling to bad. There are of course the diamonds in the rough but at this point I'd classify the majority of Nintendo's console output as mediocre.

Wasn't that supposed to come to consoles (I think first on XB1)? I'd love it on PS4, because I tried it during a free weekend on my PC and I just could not run it well.

They tried to get it to run on console CPUs and cried.
But yeah, I wonder if the ports have been scrapped.

Its a Unity game and can really bog down my PC once a city got big.
Could only imagine how bad it would be on console considering how Unity performs on there.
Same thing in 2010/2011 podcasts.

i will admit i am the guy who may have cried when square enix decided to make another kingdom hearts game and decided it to declare it the third, but even I constantly asked "the fuck??" when watching that switch event

I gotta listen to this.
I stopped playing that game after 30 minutes and never regretted it.
It's insufferable. And this whole YouTube thumbnail game of being totally SURPRISED REACTION OMG... Ugh. I get why they do it but still... Ugh.

I've watched through band of brothers twice and if this happened I would buy 5 more years of subs

Jeff's livestream commentary of the switch reveal is getting me really good.
His reaction to the musou reveal was worth it alone.

And then finding out it was a Fire Emblem musou.

Does anyone know where to find that Yakuza 0 video Mary said she saw? I want to see it for...reasons
I also watched through it twice. The only long form show I've done that for. Band of Brothers is truly something special.

None. A few games like Xenoblade 2 and Mario (especially Mario) got them super excited. But, at the end of the stream, they almost all were way down on the thing (but like many other places that were down on it, they still scrambled to preorder it when preorder slots opened up).
Lol "I did it for the trophy" trophy

I watched some random Youtuber play Bequest and it was really fun to see him try and act super freaked out by everything. Maybe Youtube isn't that bad

As far as the Switch goes, the presentation didn't move me hugely one way or another. I went into it with a moderate level of interest, and came away thinking that it looks cool, but definitely isn't a day-one purchase for me. I'm sure I'll get one sometime this year (hopefully the supply allows it), and I'm looking forward to the new Mario and whatever else Nintendo puts out. I'm always down to check out Nintendo's games, but I've been planning on playing Zelda on my WiiU ever since it was announced, and nothing in that presentation convinced me that I shouldn't.
And Band of Brothers is awesome. Like Drew said, it's basically 10 hours of Saving Private Ryan. Except I might even rank Band of Brothers higher than Saving Private Ryan.

Did they jump up, throw their arms into the air while yelling?

Kinda? Yeah.
Nothing too bad though. Nobody jumped on a table when Sega dude announced nothing.
