Nope. Saw it, too an hour ago or so.

 

[Tubobutts]

I like that this press conference doesn't have idiots cheering.

Some of these translators aren't very good at talking.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Woke up and had this weird dream of a Mario game but it was set in the real world. What's up with that.

It looked like this

Judging by that Jefflr he'll be ripping into the switch. I'd imagine Brad will be too.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Thinking about the prices, it seems like Nintendo is taxing the dedicated fanbase to make up for the lack of sales.

I think I'm going to wait until holiday season before I get one. Unless Breath of the Wild is severely hampered on WiiU, that's the route I am going. I guess my $300 will go to the TP Cast and maybe some more VR games in the meantime.

 

[Nibel]

Do we have Jeff Switch hottakes yet?

Do we have Jeff Switch hottakes yet?

The recording of his stream commentary: http://jefflr.moe/archive/jeff-gerstmann-20170112-223349-cfcbe4d823210bfd839a11f646082bc7-reg.m4a
At the end he's reading press releases

Hard to summarize his takes

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I'm really excited for the Switch launch you guys
*looks at launch games*
I'm really excited for probably Holiday 2017(?) you guys

 

[mnz]

Well, the potential 400€ for Switch and one game will make me wait quite a while before I will get one. I do still really like the system, though.

 

[strafer]

anyone else love to browse the frontpage of imgur? Sometimes you find some hilarious stuff and sometimes heartbreaking stuff, like this one.

[mnz]

I really like browsing imgur for a few minutes each day. One of the few places left online with a positive vibe and without cynicism. Other image boards I've used in the past have turned to shit, especially over the last year.

 

[funkystudent]

The executive magician of Nintendo seems cool

 

[outunderthestars]

Are they doing any Switch streams or podcasts today?

 

[Twin Tails]

Are they doing any Switch streams or podcasts today?

Yes, a live show. Check front page for time.

 

[Houndi101]

Jesus Pat Baers audio is fucked in this new years podcast

 

[repeater]

Like I am overall positive on switch from a tech/potential/attitude standpoint

Switch sure has a lot of that 'tude

(Official box art pending)

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I can't wait for the live Switch show today. Gonna be some great discussion! What a weird event that was.

 

[Catvoca]

The 1 2 Switch videos will be amazing. What a dumb thing.

 

[derFeef]

1 2 swtich is the new wario ware we get, right?

 

[Jintor]

1 2 swtich is the new wario ware we get, right?

I was hoping so hard it would be it. They want mass appeal though

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I love that New Donk City is currently trending on Twitter for me

 

[bigwinnerx]

Transformers discussion is amazing on BC.

 

[strafer]

so many switch threads

 

[Zornack]

why does switch get its own thread

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I think I know how everyone will go except Dan.

No one brought a Banana to compare size? For shame!

 

[jaina]

easy allies stream is decent, by the way. if you spend your time watching videos about video games.

 

[wenis]

Brad keeps using the scythe and not grabbing food for later. It's driving me insane.

Everyone knows it's all about the hunting knife and oj, at least in the beginning of the game.

Fast attacks and lots of health revival. Easiest way to get through crowds and get survivors back to the base to increase PP the easiest.

How many times did they fall over in excitement?

 

[mnz]

One thing I learned is that Kinda Funny is now apparently labeled similarly to GB. As in...not excited enough or whatever.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Gotta be honest, I don't quite understand the extreme negativity about the Switch right now. It's nothing amazing and I'm not gonna buy it at launch or anything but people are acting like it's the worst thing ever.

 

[BearPawB]

There is no way that an individual joycon is comfortable to hold with two hands

 

[mnz]

Gotta be honest, I don't quite understand the extreme negativity about the Switch right now. It's nothing amazing and I'm not gonna buy it at launch or anything but people are acting like it's the worst thing ever.

Yeah, it's completely in line with what I expected. Looks fine.

There is no way that an individual joycon is comfortable to hold with two hands

The straps make it a little better, but yeah...

 

[Keyser Soze]

There is no way that an individual joycon is comfortable to hold with two hands

Agreed. But I think the clip on strap might help. It adds some solid extra vertical height to maybe make it better to hold

 

[Glitchesarecool]

This is the internet. It's either the greatest gift God has ever given or it's utter trash. There is no middle ground.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Same as the Wii, same as the WiiU. People love to hate Nintendo hardware. I'm in the same boat. I want one, but I will likely wait a year or two to pick it up-same as I did with the Wii, same as I did with the WiiU.

 

[BearPawB]

Also it bothers me how differently the stick is placed in the right joycon. Right joyon is for your friend. Left joycon is the one you always use

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Same as the Wii, same as the WiiU. People love to hate Nintendo hardware. I'm in the same boat. I want one, but I will likely wait a year or two to pick it up-same as I did with the Wii, same as I did with the WiiU.

Yeah, I'll wait too. I actually think the price is fine but there is one game at launch that interests me and as much as I love Zelda, I'm not paying 370€ for it.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I need Jeff and Dan photos NOW!

 

[Jintor]

Marketing was too slick

 

[Incandenza]

GAF's just mad because they're forcing themselves to preorder even though they've just learned the thing won't be worth buying for 6 months - 1 yr after release

 

[Catvoca]

Gotta be honest, I don't quite understand the extreme negativity about the Switch right now. It's nothing amazing and I'm not gonna buy it at launch or anything but people are acting like it's the worst thing ever.

People had high hopes and were disappointed. I get why they'd be super negative on it right now, I'm sure it'll die down soon enough.
