Yes I'm sure it has everything to do with 'salt'.

I still think the Switch is unproven myself. Nintendo finally merged the 2 markets of handheld and console and succeeded. IMHO, they should of did this 3-4 years ago. I feel the efforts is a bit too late now.

At this point this thread needs to be closed because it seems like there are some people that can't contain their salt over threads talking about Switch.
That would make Switch threads the victim. Why are we punishing the victim? Ban the perpetrators.
Damn.You can palpably feel the point at which most people finished Zelda on this forum, huh.
These threads are always gold, lol.

If Nintendo starts making new major IPs out the wazoo like Splatoon and Arms then I would be inclined to agree with you.
No, they will make spin offs of existing IP's. They play it extremely safe.

I recall them being filled with far more disappointment than the Switch launch. There were severe software droughts and mediocre exclusives.
To me the Switch is the idea of the SEGA Nomad but properly realized without requiring 6 AA batteries for 2 hours of gaming.
SEGA Nomad could do up to 4 player gaming on one screen. The machine had TV output port and played console-level games in like 1995.
But it was bulky, player 1 had to hold the machine so it was difficult to see for other players unless you used TV out, the cartridges were Genesis games so they were huge, the power was a generation behind because we had PS1 by then (similar to Switch), and the battery life makes even the Switch laugh.

Nintendo is the least safe out of the two existing companies that sell hardware.

From a software perspective? Really.

In comparison to Sony and Microsoft probably not.
I really just want to the new younger guys at Nintendo make new things that expand upon the companies traditional ideas.
From Software making a Nintendo system would be amazing for the names alone.

The Nintendo Gaping Console

yo, Game-starved beasts, buy our console and enjoy the drought.

You compared the Switch to a Sega Nomad?! Wow, do you know what you've done?

Yes?
A company like Sony or Microsoft wouldn't make games like Splatoon or ARMS.

I can't really agree with that.
All I see that they do, is use existing characters Ip's and do their twist with it. Mario maker, yoshi woolly world..idk I'm personally not seeing it.

This is true.
The most original good exclusive we have got so far for PS4 is Until Dawn.
Bloodborne doesn't count because it is a Souls game.

The Switch is perfect for everything. Hell, it should be president. No, King of the Free World!
Y'know, I thought this would be the case, but Switch has been killing my wallet. My home menu is already full of games. And I find myself playing them more since it boots up and shuts down in a split-second, remembers exactly where you left off, and can be easily squeezed into any part of my day (portability and such).yo, Game-starved beasts, buy our console and enjoy the drought.
Nifty lil' system. E3 gonna be crazy.
