It's a pretty cool system it's the first console I've wanted in a long time.

>>383467067

No one wants a "real console" from Nintendo, they'd be stupid to compete directly with Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo's been the odd man out for so long at this point that it's probably less of an uphill battle to continue carving out their own niche than doing a 180 and trying to fight the same battle as the others but with nowhere near the level of established third-party support. It'd be damn near suicide to try.

Anyone who is a true gamer loves the Switch and what it can do. I guess you're not a true gamer OP.

Enjoy your BD player though.
>>
Nintendo understands that they won't be successful trying to compete with the Playstation and Xbox. They offer something different to try to appeal to a different market.
>>
because releasing a "real" console would mean:
-losing money selling the consoles, which they can't afford to do since unlike sony and microsoft they don't have a side business to support their vidya division
-releasing a system in between generations, which means it'd probably still be underpowered in two years time when ps5 gets released
-making their development budgets increase as they'd have to improve their assets to make their games look similar to the rest of the industry, forcing them to sell more to get the same profit as before
whether you like it or not switch made the most business sense and look at that, it seems the market agrees
>>
Why couldn't they have a larger stock for this system?

The stores around me don't have any and most online stock is either bundled with unwanted bullshit or 1.5x more expensive because of scalpers.

I'm not even poor but I'm not paying more than I should for this thing.
>>
>>383467067
>release a normal console
>nobody buys it except nintenbros because they could just buy a PS4

this way they can capitalize on normies buying both systems
>>
>>383467067
Because higher graphical fidelity costs more money and Nintendo doesn't want every game to cost $100m to make.
>>
Nintendo has for the last 11 has been about exploring niches other consoles and handhelds are not filling. Financially speaking that's been paying off them. So they're going to keep being the weird ones so long as it keeps their clientele coming back
>>
Having a PS4, I would hate for Nintendo to just release a standard/similar console. Nintendo cannot compete with Sony for my attention. I do enjoy the Switch. I bought it for the exclusives having missed out on the Wii U. I like that it is different. Not better, just different.

the global production of NAND flash memory isn't enough to satisfy global demand right now. And when you have companies like Apple who can put in orders for 50-60m of X part per year they get priority over Nintendo asking for 15-20m of X part.

However lately I have heard that Apple's production is going to be cut down significantly, if that's the case there should be more constant high batch shipments of Switches starting in 3 or 4 weeks. They've also been reportedly holding Switches back to have a lot to sell for the Splatoon 2 launch. So next week expect a lot.

There's also an industry wide shortage of RAM and the motors they use in their HD rumble.
>>
>>383467067
Why does everything have to be the same. You most likely have a ps4 or pc. The switch is fine without multiplats. It's true what they say. You only buy a Nintendo console for Nintendo games
>>
do you switch owners out there actually use its portable funtionality? it seems like it should be a 'neat' feature but honestly I don't think i would take advantage of it.
>>
>>383467150
It's a handheld with shit battery life
>>
>>383471220
As far as I know from Switch owners, they actually do use it quite a lot. Even at home. I know I would. Even between Switch owners who don't switch modes often, there's a lot of people who play almost constantly handheld and many who play almost constantly docked.

I'd be more curious whether many people actually keep playing with split joycons when meeting up with somenone.
>>
>>383467067
because they did it twice in a row and both failed compared to the competition, then they made lots of $$$ when they did the opposite

Yes quite a lot on my commute to uni and work as well just waiting around town for my mates. Once you get past the BING BING WAHOO stigma and realise nobody actually cares what the fuck you're doing it's pretty cool, also playing in bed on a great screen in comfy as fuck. Doing the same on the Wii U tablet was shit
>>
>>383471220
I just took it on a 2 week vacation. Used it for a little bit on one flight, but my face is usually glued to the window. It didn't see much use outside of where I was staying but it was great for late night comfy gaming while waiting to get tired enough to sleep, especially because I didn't have internet.

My buddies and I get together every week and those of us who have Switches always bring them, but local multiplayer games are lacking, MHXX will fix that for us.

I take it to the pub with me occasionally, don't use it much there though.

Nintendo's handhelds are always more popular than their consoles, and Japan's gaming present and future lies in handhelds. It makes sense to abandon TV-centric consoles, especially after the failure of the Wii U.

>>383471303
I mean that's fair. I have a wii u and I play on the tablet at home (sometimes.)
>>383471386
That's really what I'm getting at. It's amazing for a flight/vacation. but outside of that it's not all that appealing to me at least. maybe if I knew people that owned a switch it'd be different.

Just focus on the games man, not the gimmick. Do you like games in Nintendo's handheld/console suite? You'll get them both here. If those don't interest you then you're better off holding onto your money. The console is only going to be as enjoyable as the games you play on it. I bought it because I've basically been a drone since birth, the portability is just a bonus in my eyes.
>>

Xbox tried that with the Kinect.
>>
>>383471757
This image, while bait, has a point.

Traditional consoles are nothing more than shit-tier PC rigs, whose only selling power is their accessibility.

Nintendo know fine well that a traditional console would bring nothing to the table. It genuinely scary to think how utterly shite the gaming landscape would be with a company like Nintendo around, one who is willing to take risks and push the boundaries of what gaming can be.

Why would you not? Docked mode usually offers you very little or worse performance than handheld mode and the thing basically feels like a handheld first rather than a console.
>>
>>383472007
Ironically Nintendo has the strongest "exclusives". Maybe even the last true exclusives since Microsoft has gone full PC+Xbox and Sony just flat out lies and ports exclusives to other consoles after a few months.

Nintendo would stand the best at making a console based on the games that come out on it.
>>
>>383472075
Nothing more satisfying that just picking the console up and going off somewhere else. Feels genuinely liberating.
>>
>>383471220
I use it in portable mode most of the time. I bring it to work on weekdays, and play it during commute, lunch break, or whenever I have nothing to do. At home I'd rather use it in portable mode as well. I can move around the house doing things, then play my Switch whenever I have a few minutes free. Overall portability gives me an extra 2-3 hours of gaming every weekday.

Honestly, I can't wait to get some extra docks and just place them in different rooms of my house so I can just move the console to which ever room I feel like playing in.

As of now I have my Switch in my living room with a procontroller and often take it to bed to play in handheld mode. It's pretty cool.

I don't really know if I'd call the gimmick the focus here. All standard controls, just Nintendo games with little to no gimmick adulteration (relatively speaking) and you have the option of playing it wherever you want. And like I said, we're looking at the combined Nintendo handheld and console library here, if you like their games you're gonna be satisfied.
>>
>>383472437
If I'm going to do that why wouldn't I just buy a regular console with better graphics and a lot more games?

Don't worry, Anon. In about a year and a half from now, they'll release the ProSwitch that's a "real" console that is permanently docked, comes with the Pro Controller, has extra large storage space, and supports 4K.

I mean it'll be like $500 but that's what you want, right?
>>
>>383467067
If it was a normal console I wouldn't buy it. The fact I can buy multiplats and play them on the go is a big selling point to own one alongside my PS4. Without that it'd just be another Wii U with one game every 8 months
>>
>>383471220
I use it in portable mode 90% of the time
the rest is tabletop mode when playing ARMS
>>
>>383472673
fair enough. It's certainly not forcing me to play zelda with motion controls lol. I think i've just been focusing way to much on the half-console/handheld shit. fuck it, once some more games come ill get it and use it however feels right.

They don't need to. Nintendo games take little processing power. What's the point of Nintendo making a $500 gaming system when the games aren't focused on realistic graphics?

If you want to do something other than play Nintendo exclusives, pick up a Sony Console or build a gaming PC. It's what we've all been doing for years.

The switch is awesome. All those who think the opposite, don't own one.

>>383467343
>No one wants a "real console" from Nintendo
That's all I ever wanted from Nintendo, and they have first part titles that help them edge out in a competition with Sony and Microsoft. Give them a system with good 3rd party support and they could own this generation easily. So I don't buy your excuse at all.

>has a shitty battery life

This will not change with any handheld in the next years because batteries are fucking ancient technology that didnt evolve in the last decades.

If you open up a Switch you will see that it has the biggest battery ever inside a handheld yet a demanding game like Zelda BotW will drain the batter in 3 hours.

So you have 2 options:
>Make a bigger battery but this will reduce the capacity even more

>make a smaller screen with shittier specs inside

I only ever use it docked if it runs out of battery and I don't want to stop playing.

I'm a Sonybro, but I'll admit Nintendo has the right idea in making consoles. Consoles moved too far too fast. Diminishing returns have been slapping them in the face since the ps3/360 era. PS1 to PS2 was a huge jump. PS2 to PS3 not so much, PS3 to PS4 very little.
PS4 >* PS3 >> PS2 >>>PS1
XB1 >* XB360 > XB

Nintendo found it out early
Switch >* Wii U >* Wii >* Gamecube >> N64 >> SNES >>> NES

The Wii is worth two GameCubes, and the Wii U is actually much faster than the Wii - 3 cores at 1.5x the clockspeed vs. 1 core in the Wii.

The Switch is essentially comparable to the Wii U in handheld mode (but with a more generous amount of RAM), but about twice as fast in docked mode.

The reason jumps are smaller now is because the jumps now influence far more minute details than they used to, and because multicore programming is harder than just using a faster CPU.

>>383474537
Resolution wise, the Wii is not a huge leap from the Gamecube. When you add up the advancements from GC to Switch it becomes noticeable, but the change was not drastic compared to NES to SNES to N64 to GC.

>>383472096
It is handheld first. There are games on the eShop which do not work in docked mode (VOEZ), but no games which do not work in handheld mode. Effectively, all docking will usually get you is a higher rendering resolution.
>>
>>383474737
My favourite games are zelda, puyo puyo, minna de waiwai (spelunker) and bomberman
>>
>>383474662
Resolution wise, it's not a leap at all - both can output 480p RGB. The Wii U is a huge leap from the Wii, however, in my opinion. So Switch >* Wii U > Wii >* GameCube >> N64 >> SNES >>> NES.
>>

It lasts long enough to be used on a day trip. If you are playing longer than 5 hours otg then you are a child in a car

>>383474516
Hmm. I feel like I divide it pretty evenly. It would be close, but I would guess I play more docked than undocked. Feels good like that though, I like using both ways and I wouldn't even say I prefer one to the other.

>>383473858
I'd normally scoff at posts like this, but it kinda hit me this time. I laughed at Nintendo's decision to use Cortex-A53 and Tegra X1, both very hot and power hungry processing units. I laughed some more upon finding out it has a cooling fan, and uses 15V USB-PD charging standard. Then I bought one because Sony's E3 presentation was really disappointing, and got pleasantly surprised. What I thought to be laughable on paper turns out to be just fine when you have the goods on your hands. If Sony doesn't announce anything wrt to Vita this upcoming TGS, I'll allocate most of my gaming budget to Switch (and 3DS) for years to come.

There will be a super smash bros for switch, correct? Will pick on one up when that comes out.

The Switch is laughably underpowered, and there's no reason to own one right now if you didn't already have a Wii U. It's why I haven't bought one yet (They've been in stock a few times I've checked, and had extra during the midnight release I went to.)

But let's be honest, once Mario Odyssey comes out, we're all buying one.

The PSP line is done. Their main advantages, power and resolution, are now an impossibility as they have nothing to go against a Tegra. Especially if Nintendo has already committed to the Tegra Xavier for a future console.
>>
>>383471220
I had that mindset as well, but I think you'll find yourself using it more in portable mode than you'd think if you bought one.

I've been playing tabletop mode and handheld mode quite a lot, to my surprise.

Doesn't matter how much power a system has, publishers will push devs to get the product out in the market as soon as they think the masses can accept it, which means upscaled 900p locked at 30 fps. Obviously, the answer to that is to throw more power into hardware, instead of learning how to optimize properly and remove shittons of unneeded abstraction layers from your code.

XL improved the battery life if the original 3DS, so no, it's a revision.
>>
>>383474969
Remember only Zelda drains the battery really fast. Mario Kart can net 4h and others like Disgaea 5 can net you almost 6h. 3ds is just more consistent but games like pokemon SM really drain the battery too.

Is the XL a revision?

>>383475458

Funny thing is they know their shit is shitty. You can see it when certain games try to update later only to run into problem after problem because their code is duct taped together.

>>383467067

Because then it wouldn't be shit. If it ain't shit, it ain't Nintendo.

There's already two on the market.

I was hoping that at least they'd attempt a "PS4 Portable". I guess that's not happening either.

This past weekend, my family was hosting a family reunion and we rented out a park rec room for a casino night. As we were wrapping up and I was taking apart the video game corner it was two PS3's and the Switch, my best friend whom I invited wanted to play more MK8, so I took the console out of the case and handed it to her. She flipped when after realizing that the controllers that were hooked into either side of the console wasn't just for placement, but could actually be used to keep playing video games.

Other than that specific moment I mostly use undocked at home when there's something on TV I'm watching. There aren't many places where I'd need to bring a Switch when a 3DS does the job.

The only truly impressive hardware Nintendo put out was the N64 and, debatably, the GameCube, period. The SNES had a good sound and graphics chip, but the CPU was a joke compared to the Mega Drive's, and the NES would be pretty much on par with the competition if not for the expansion chips on cartridges.
>>
>>383477798
>Their hardware has always been unimpressive except for 25% of the time
>>
>>383478060
That's still a clear unimpressive slant. They experimented with getting the best hardware possible in the N64, and it brought them delays and less-than-satisfactory sales/third party support in the wake of the far less technically impressive but CD-based PlayStation. The same thing happened with the GameCube and PS2, after which they presumably gave up.

I thought it was until I realized I could take it out and still use it

You did it to yourself.
>>
>>383478742

I said "if". There's nothing yet to tie Nintendo to the Xavier other than it being a logical progression for a Switch successor.
>>
>>383479274
If you need to be super careful while performing what is basic functionality for the device, then it's not very well designed.
>>
>>383479401
Or you should just learn to be careful when handling expensive shit, instead of shoving it in to the dock like an N64 cartridge.

I just wish it wasn't so weak.
Their games would benefit from better hardware. Especially BotW

Is it imaginary?

>>383473716
God dammit man I'm not a scrub, I got a PC, and I'd sooner cut of a finger or two before I play one of those games with such gimped controls.
>>
>>383479896
Now put it in this perspective: it's still the strongest piece of hardware they've released and sold.
>>
>>383479896
>Their games would benefit from better hardware. Especially BotW
BotW isn't a byproduct of the hardware, but not having enough time to optimize it.

There are a ton of smoke and mirrors that can be deployed to open world games to make them look and run better, but you have to know what you're working with. At the time, Nintendo was still learning. It's part of why Splatoon 2 has seen boosts from the original trailer, to the splatfest, to now.

Switch literally only has Arms right now and I wouldn't even call it a game. Even Overwatch seems like a complete game in comparison despite being a multiplayer game only.

Give up with the desperation. Not only are those games on Switch, they're the definitive versions of them.

That's bullshit. ARMs has more side content than Overwatch had at launch. All Overwatch had was more characters.

gee, sure is a hard choice

Yes, the biggest negative with Overwatch is they add then remove content.

But hey, I'm talking to someone that hasn't played either.

Imagine being this assblasted. I love how Nintendo makes you kiddies foam at the mouth. It's embarrassingly immature for you but I take a kind of twisted pleasure in watching the haters sperg out.
>>
Nintendo tries to be like competition (gamecube) and it bombs
Nintendo does something unique (Wii) and it sells like hotcakes
Also Nintendo owns the handheld market and has tons of licenses to use so a portable console is genius for them
