Would this make you buy a switch?

>>378312915
what do you think? after how the wii u has done poorly, i don't have plans to buy the switch yet unless it's under a heavy discount. i would say no.

How about no?

>>378312996
The Switch's 1st 3 months of games is better than the Wii U's first 3 years of games. Also it's still selling, unlike the Wii U at that time of its life.

>>378313086
Please don't talk

No, i would consider buying a gimmickless handheld-only version if it was build better and had games i want to play.

>>378313086
It "sells" because of marketing and artifical scarcity. Claim theres less of a product than lead to believe and of course it'll "sell fast". Supply v remand

>>378312915
no. i dont play any consoles but i kekked hard when i saw switch being 50% more expensive than PS4/Xbox (also no games in package) on sale in some shop.
cant understand why would anyone pay so much for a toy to play games in phone-tier resolution and fps.

>>378313086
atleast it's selling well, but the only game i would really buy is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (even when it's just reused assets from the first game with some extra stuff added) and Arms when it gets released. not a huge fan of breath of the wild.

another thing i am waiting for is when switch homebrew becomes a thing, but since Nintendo unleashed a banwave on 3DS users a couple of days ago and it still needs to be done i'll keep waiting.

Price doesn't matter because Nintendo does artificial scarcity. Scalpers will buy that shit up and then Nintendo will start selling their consoles on Amazon for $400+ because muh scarcity

>>378312915
>still mobile phone trash tech with games looking 15 years behind the competition

I just don't care about modern Nintendo anymore. They could eat shit and die tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost.

Their only good game in the past decade was Splatoon and ARMS looks exciting too, but the rest is utter, irredeemable explosive dog diarrhea.

>>378312915
That configuration isn't worth more than $150, knowing Nintendo they'd charge way more though.

>>378313236
And even if it sold. That doesn't mean it's a good system

>>378313254
Mk8 removes depth. The game wasn't balanced around 200cc or double items unlike DD. You also get cancer product placement like Mercedez and shitty waifus for pedos and furries fucking up your game. You also have to pay for online unlike the actual MK8. I think it's fair to say Deluxe is worse than the original.

While yes, you can still buy a USB to Ethernet dongle. The second gen Switch could easily support an Ethernet cable too.

>>378313346
Right now Nintendo is recouping R&D costs. I think people forget just how small Nintendo really is compared to juggernauts like Microsoft.
We'll see aggressive price cuts the instant the initial costs are paid off and/or sales start to slow down.

>>378312915
you'd rather not pay the extra $50 to get the added feature of portability?

I want to buy one right now but I can't fucking find one.

>>378318060
I don't know, but it worked fine when I did it on the Xbox 360.
I'm not buying a gen 1 Switch unless they don't announce one by Q2 next year.

>>378318060
It does the exact same thing the Xbone and PS4 controllers do if you stick a wire in it.

>>378318519
Didn't PS3 controllers connect wired instead of wireless when you plugged them in.
I distinctly remember it having to reconnect when you unplugged it.

>>378318060
PS4 controllers don't become wired, they just charge while staying wireless.

>>378318568
I said Xbone and PS4.

>>378318617
I mostly meant that as a way to ask why the fuck they would go back on a simple feature like that.
Also it's odd that a DS4 doesn't become wireless because it works fine wired on a PC with it's cable.

>>378313236
Then explain the NES mini fisasco. Nintendo discontinued it and never restocked after the huge demand.

>>378313294
Can someone please fucking explain why Nintendo does this artificial scarcity strategy. What benefit is there in intentionally not meeting the demands of your customers? Just to make your product seem more desirable? Isn't there a huge risk of losing customers, fed up with waiting, to the competition?

>>378318820
Nintendo is retarded and didn't think it would be as big of a hit as it was because they don't understand their own market and only expected old fogeys who haven't played video games since the actual NES days to want one.

It was probably manufactured in the same factories that were to manufacture the Switch, hence why they don't want to make any more.

>>378313017
>still no ethernet port

Why is this such a great deal? Do any of you guys hook up your consoles with an actual wire?

I thought the tablet mode was terrible at first, but I've been using it more and more lately. I don't think it would be worth it without tablet mode now.

>>378314514
The system, dock, and controllers together cost around $257 to manufacture. They're not making big profits on them. They couldn't make a big price cut without lowering manufacturing costs or selling at a loss.

>>378312915
No I like it for the portability and the joycons are comfy af

>>378312915
Yes.
I don't need that stupid tablet shit.
Also to the people saying "lel no Ethernet cable" I'd just wait for something like this to go on sale and then buy it for my gf and I to play Mario Party and shit on. We were actually excited when we heard about the NX, thought it was going to be like a new N64 or something.

>>378319418

Are you fucking telling me you don't wire your consoles?

I bought Mario Kart Bundle over the Zelda bundle.

Mario Kart comes with Switch, Mario Kart 8 DX, racing wheels things, and form fitting case.

Zelda comes with Switch, Zelda + Season Pass, and a carry case.

Both $400, should I change my order before it ships?

>>378319418
I hook my OG PS4 up because the Wi-Fi chip on it fucking sucks ass. But I have gig internet and even with the PS4's gig port, downloading from PSN Network is slow as shit. Their server infrastructure is crap.

>>378321461
I'm sure most people would rather wire their PC instead...

Good games would make me buy the switch.
At this rate I'll never have to buy one, I'll wait out the 5 years and then download a switch emulator to see if super mario oddessy is shit.

Idort here. I'll buy it once price dropsor there's a revision with non detachable controllers. I don't like the loose feel of those joycons

>>378312915
At that point, I'd pay the extra $50 for the added portability. Now, if it were a $100 difference, then I'd start considering it. Keep in mind that you still need the joycon controllers for shit like ARMS.

>>378321496
Both of those sound like a ripoff.

I'll consider buying one once there are more than 3 games on it, or once Pikmin 4 and Metroid Prime 4 pop up.

>>378321496
Nah, the carry case is cool but looks autistic if you're out with it and older than say 12

It's actually MSRP for both of them. You just need to make sure you want the extra shit they pack in to get to that price.

>>378312915
No.
All it needs is either
>games I want to play and a guarantee that there will be no revisioned model, or
>games I want to play and a revisioned model

It's too risky buying consoles now. I'm upset I got the first 3DS, and really happy I didn't buy a PS4 until recently when I got a Pro.

>>378322375
>It's too risky buying consoles now
That's why you don't buy them at release you fag.
I usually wait at least a year after a console is released before I buy one.
You get to see what the console has to offer and by that point it has dropped a little in price.

>>378322620
>That's why you don't buy them at release you fag.
I haven't done it since 3DS and won't do it again.
Only downside is that by the time I actually get a Switch, Splatoon online might be dead.

>>378312915
Instantly.

Although i guess at that point it'd be just "WiiU2 - now reading Switch cartridges!" so will never happen.

>No games
I don't think I'm the target market for it, quite honestly. Octagon Traverser is the only game that has potential, but seeing as it's directed by the Producer of the Bravely series, I'm not optimistic. Even if it does pan out, hardly looks like a system seller. Maybe something I'd download on my phone.

>>378322112
Gamestop sells those carrying cases for $5 more than everyone else, so it's actually a little more expensive. You'd be best off just buying the system and game separately if possible and saving $20.

nah the portability is important to me too, because the only reason I'm getting one is monster hunter.

>>378313245
Because the 3 games it has are better than every soulsbourne and fablehalo?

>>378313537
Most people don't know that paid online is being introduced at the end of the year.

>>378312915
Probably, yeah. The Switch is like $400 where I live though, so that'd be quite the price reduction.

Because the Vita TV was such a big hit, right?

>>378312915
Not at that price. I love my handhelds but I got a PSTV instead because it was like 4 times cheaper at the time.

Considering it wouldn't have jewish memory cards causing it to be dead on arrival it would work.

>>378313236
people have already come out and said that supply isn't meeting demand and Nintendo has had to fly shipments across the world which is exponentially costlier because demand is so high. The factories are having a hard time keeping up. There's no artificial scarcity.

>>378323865
it may be hard for you to imagine but not everyone likes gimmick based kiddie games.
out of all switch games only arms seems actually interesting. zelda is generic as fuck and repetitive once you take off nostalgia glasses. marioshit is not amusing to me, maybe except for kart one.

>>378312915
Nothing. It looks stupid. Removes the best features.

I'll stick with the real thing.

>>378313086
>Better than the Wii U's first 3 years

Fuck off. Sonic & All-Stars Racing alone is a far better game than BotW or MK8 and that was a port for the Wii U's launch. When you add in later titles like W101, Captain Toad, Wooly World or Bayo 2, you'd have to be a shill to claim that the first three months of the Switch's launch are anywhere near superior to those offerings. The only game among the switch's line up that's at that level currently is Puyo Puyo Tetris, and that's a port available for like 5 other systems.

What do you guys think the chances are of a redesign? I'm torn, because while Nintendo's handhelds always get multiple iterations, their consoles never do (except the Wii Mini at the very end of its life), and Switch is both. The redesigns are always superior too so I want to wait.

that would be fucking terrible

You're gonna be waiting for at least 3 years, you know that?

>>378338273
If Nintendo is treating this as a handheld, we could get one as early as next year.

DS Lite and 3DS XL each came out 1 and a half years after the original models.

The Switch will have games by then, at least.

>>378312915
Yes, it's what I'm waiting for

I think a "Switch TV" could easily be sold for $200 though, $250 would be overpriced. It's basically an Nvidia Shield at that point

>>378338523
They're not.

New models are only introduced when the latest one slows down in sales, so unless this E3 is a complete disaster, it won't be happening anytime soon.

At least have the decency of shitposting with some non Nintendo picture, you fucking asshole.

Is it that hard to believe that some Nintendo fans just aren't fond of the Switch?

Hey Sony Niggers, I am here for illuminating your tiny brains:

If you dont have the money for two different platforms, dont pick Nintendo, its easy as fuck.

Nintendo is not meant to be your main gaming platform if you are not a casual gamer. It has other purposes, and it does them really fucking good.

If you think Nintendo steals money from your beloved Sony, think again: it doesnt. At least not to a point you should care.

Just let the people that have enough MONEY to get it and be happy with their 2+ platforms and go get a work somewhere.

You are all so fucking jealous is unreal.

Get. Fucking. Money.


If you do have the money then you are a PC user that has a PS4 and a Switch for the exclusive games.

If not, have fun with the normie's console. Get your Fifa's and CoD's.
