Pretty much this.

Nintendo is about to drop the first ever mainline console Pokemon RPG exclusive to the Switch.

AKA the thing both normalfags and pokemonfags alike have been SCREAMING at Nintendo to do for literally decades. Regardless of how shitty Pokemon has become, you'd have to be fucking delusional to think it won't sell gangbusters and give the Switch's install base a real hard kick in the pants.

Just look at what happened with Pokemon GO!, despite it dying due to their mishandling of it. The Pokemon hype is real, and people are going to flip out when they realize they can play the game on their 60 inch 4k TV in the comfort of their own home.

Mario + Rabbids? If its gameplay can rival XCOM's....
Xenoblade Chronicles 2?
Rocket League? Not an exclusive, but mobile Rocket League and Local Wireless Rocket League just sounds too great to not mention.
Fire Emblem? We know nothing about it yet, but Fire Emblem is a seriously solid series.
Yoshi? Kirby?
Project Octopath? Again, few details, but it's the Bravely Default team and it looks like it'll beckon oldschool JRPGs in a really great way.
SMT? Another one we don't know about, other than really solid series.
Pokemon? Again, no details, other than solid series.

I'm pretty sure there are some I'm missing, and surely there's plenty not announced. And we're not even talking indies yet, AND this list is heavy with first party and Nintendo-loyal devs, and lots of third parties have only recently began to develop for Switch so don't have their own announcements yet.

>we know nothing
This is how Nintendo does things. This is why they're 100% in control of all their media exposure. In the past, when a Nintendo game was announced, their was either a concept trailer or something to show for. Now it's a logo reveal and literal spoken word saying "a main Pokemon is coming," and then fans thinking it won't also be on 3DS (as if Nintendo could afford not to). Last time it was "a Zelda is coming to Wii U, stay tuned," which became both a swan song and launch title.

TLDR: If you're investing in the Switch, there is blind faith involved.

"we know nothing" about some no-name game is a bit different than "we know nothing" from well-establishedri sees or devd. A few of those, like Project Octopath, could go either way as it's not built on a series and the Dev has hit it out of the ballpark before, but hasn't built a reputation yet.

So what? This is still on their hands. They need to strike while the iron is hot and if they fail to gain momentum NOW, the Switch will fall behind even more. 2018 looks really strong for Sony and they're selling units like crazy still. If Nintendo wants to stay afloat, they need to get their fucking shit together.
>>
It needed to have a stronger launch lineup, and a more frequent release of noteworthy games to be worth a shit continually. As it stands people will be buying it for zelda, splatoon, and mario. Those are the big blockbusters that will move normie units. There's nothing else for normies. ARMS is cool but it's probably not doing as well as nintendo would hope, given it's total lack of relevance in fighting game circles.
>>
Last thread on this topic got fucking locked because the new mods are powertripping faggots.

maybe they just can't produce more because on of the top 3 company in the world is buying out every single component coming out of the factory ?

As in, Nintendo got a deal for 10 million NAND an others for the current year. BUT, the switch is selling more than they anticipated, so 10 million isn't enough. To ramp up production and meet demand they need to buy the manufacturer extra stock, BUT, said NANDs are used in the new iphone, releasing in spetember. And it happens that there is maybe 2 company in the world with the sheer buying power to compete with apple (Nintendo isn,t one of them)

So, Nintendo can only roll out the 10 million they had by contract until Apple is done eating all the parts.

The other option is to go for another manufacturer, (taiwanese, if i remmeber right) but those parts are apparently lower quality and higher risk of failure. Doubt they'll go this way unless they are STILL fucked by apple for black friday/holidays

Sounds about right. You can use as many buzzwords as you like. People will buy these games and even if none of them will come clsoe to matching the hype for Mario or Zelda, the fact that there are 60+ million PS4 users means that even if a fraction of them buy these games, they will be more successful than the humble ~2m units of Zelda.

WOAH, look at all those no exclusive games. At least Sony has strong 1st party games that aren't ports or remakes. Nintendo needs to call it quits, and their fans need to fucking get off 4chan.
>>
>>383695649
>It would sell fucking gangbusters
But, it doesn't. The GameCube was essentially that, for a while. Second most powerful console of its generation and just as strong line-ups as the others, but the sales weren't there. People weren't buying third-party games, so third-parties abandoned the console. Nintendo had to make the Wii a casual oriented console to make up for it and it worked. But, when they tried to go back to a more ''hardcore'' audience they didn't realise that the ship had sailed.
The Switch is a desperate move to try to bring in the handheld market instead, but the 3DS is still out there doing well and no one wants a handheld that's as big as a tablet, and no one wants a console that's as powerful as a handheld.

The only games on the market now are third party games, with at best 2 shitty exclusives per console per year.

Kind of puts Nintendo pricing in perspective. Japanese companies have a "fuck you, I think my shit's great, and you're going to pay a fucking premium for it or else fuck you" attitude. Competitive pricing isn't really a Japanese cultural attribute. It's either premium price or dollar store shit and nothing really in between.

with its handheld being the gimic, the most powerful comfortable mobile multiplayer experience is found on the thing. literaly switch + PC is the full market save a for a few wii u games. now gaming dosn't need nintendo but they are making the most significant advancements. I dont need 4K minecraft microsoft, sony dosent need to follow them into 4K w/ out my buttery smoth 60fps (that everyone has skipped out on in some way or another in a few cases) and PC is only at the fault of the user of the PC.
TL;DR the switch isn't obsolete because of its versatility while everything else is a upgrade thats already been done on PC minus the console game flow because the PC basically does all except recent nintendo games in better quality sometimes too.

There was a thread on /vp/ yesterday about an interview with the art and modeling department at game freak.

Splatoon sold more than bloodborne, which is the game sony fans tend to push as being their most appealing game ever for their system in their endless goldface circlejerks. Just because you don't think it sells doesn't mean it actually doesn't.

If I remember correctly it actually sold more than total Wii U sales itself, which is a bit fucking weird.

It's not about one game that everyone buys, it's about a steady flow of attention grabbers.

Splatoon 2 will turn heads, Mario Odyssey will turn heads and so on and so on making sure the console doesn't pull a Wii U and just magically disappear from public mind. And it's working, because in 4 months the Switch already outsold the Wii U's entire 10-first-months output and is still above Pre-DS-Lite NDS numbers.

Bloodborne isn't used for sales, it's used in arguments as an artistic high point of the medium, which Bloodborne fans are entitled to since the game is fucking art.

My my, comparing the numbers of a top selling franchise spanning more than a decade to a brand new game? That would be ignoring very clear market trends wouldn't it? Doesn't sound sane. Or brainy. Or even basic,

Surely this post wasn't made seriously? This is ironic right? Why it doesn't even relate to the original argument, which was that Splatoon is appealing enough that it outsold an exclusive on a platform with 40+ million units in the wild. You do have memory longer than 30 minutes don't you anon?

A mainline Pokemon will prevent the Switch from becoming the Wii U 2. A new Monster Hunter would've helped in Japan, but those days may be long gone.

For a system that claims to be both a handheld and a console, you'd think the library and sales figures would be more impressive, though.

But it is. It's basically a Nvidia Shield but with the added cost of gyroscopes, input controllers, a docking station, an AC adapter, infrared camera and more.

300 dollars is like, precisely what it should logically cost. It's not raw processing power that drives something's price it's the entire production line.

Or do you think you can get a laptop for the same price, feature set, processing power and more as it's desktop immobile counterpart?

people still port AAA games ps4 games to the ps3 and the 360. and the thing is easy to port to, literally just waiting for an install base to appear, and its looking like that's progressing at a constant rate. the switch is just not trying to do the whole 4K gimmick because minecraft 4K just isn't worth it. most people don't care about that dynamic lighting or whatever else was happening. FromSoft is thinking of porting but is waiting for that install base, tho i will not deny the lack of power on the console, that usually falls to the multiplayer online base with games like overwatch, (which probably could be done desu)

I got a PS4 Slim last year for $250. It came with stronger hardware, 500GB internal storage, a proper controller, a free game (even though with was Uncharted) and a free year of Plus. Believe it or not, portability isn't something everyone is dying to have. I'm also surprised anyone would compare a Switch to a laptop. You'd be better off comparing it to a tablet, but even then the Switch would still be lacking most basic features (like an internet browser).

I think many people are waiting to buy it until the end of the year or summer 2018, like me.
I'm waiting until there's a nice handful of games on it, maybe a price drop. I love and support Nintendo but I've learned from the 3DS and Wii U that it's better to wait a bit instead of buying the system early on.

I expect that once Mario launches and after the Christmas period there'll be a nice upsurge in sales. Also if it's true that there's a mainline Pokemon game coming out you can bet your ass it's going to sell.

You bought a console that's barely portable for its portable function.

Literally better off remote playing with a Vita.
>>
I know it's a long way away but that mainline Pokemon game on Switch will sell the system like hotcakes. Pokemon GO might've generally died out but Pokemon is as big as it was in the late 90's now.
I've got several nieces and nephews ranging from 4 to 10 years of age and they all want Pokemon stuff for their birthdays. It's just like back when I was a kid. During break times kids are trading Pokemon cards, playing Sun and Moon on their 3DS etc, everyone's watching the anime. You're left out if you don't have the latest game or if you don't have any cool cards.
The series has become as popular as it was 18 years ago.
And if these kids see a new Pokemon game on the Switch they're all gonna beg their parents to get them one

It happened to the 3DS really fast. Anyway, I'm a patient man. Thinking of getting the Switch in summer 2018, but I can wait longer if I need to.
There's also the chance that they'll release a different, enhanced version somewhere in the coming 24 months, so I might wait for that.

I've basically bought all my Nintendo stuff at launch and by now I've finally learned my lesson. O3DS was fine but it didn't take them long to announce the XL version which was much better.

Really though it's dumb to leave expensive shit just nestled in your car as if nothing bad will happen. Keep that at home or on you at all times. Since it's portable it shouldn't be a problem.

It won't work out.
Not with me.
I will not buy one single of your Autumn/Holiday 2017 products, until you release new, relevant Pokemon on Switch info.
Neither for myself, nor for others. Should anyone buy one of those products for me, I will return it for full refund.
And I'm not going to talk to others about ANY of those products in any way, shape or form (other than announcing my willful ignorance toward them, such as right now) -- again, until you release new, relevant Pokemon Switch info.
Instead, I will do whatever feasible to spread the word and tell people, casual people, about your new game coming in October 2017, and that the Wii U is about to get dropped entirely while the 3DS is right next in line.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not being unreasonable here. I understand your concerns. But it doesn't even need to be a full-fledged Pokemon reveal in the first place! Just a reveal date and a hint at what it is, maybe even a glimpse at the logo or something. That'd be fine!
I don't care if no one else does this. I will not support your seedy see-through scheme to keep people in the dark and/or thirsty so they resort to buying your old 2017 clearance sale scraps!
And don't you believe for a second that I couldn't pull through with it! I've full-on skipped the Wii AND the Wii U already -- the only Nintendo home console systems I haven't got since your frickin' Pong clone phase!
And BTW: I didn't buy your stinking sneakers either, alright? But I imported the Super Famicom straight from Japan when 99.9% of video game consumers in the Western hemisphere weren't even aware the thing EXISTED.
Just so you know who you're dealing with.
And that's that.

Sure is. When you release a system with only one game that ruins a series of good games and only releases exclusives then it's going to be shit.

"Like so many things, its success comes as a surprise to experts in the field - the $299 console isn't very competitive on paper, and it wasn't a guaranteed success in concept.

It's underpowered compared with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, both of which cost less.
It has a paltry game library compared to the competition.
Because of its lack of horsepower, major games released on multiple platforms (think: "Assassin's Creed," "Call of Duty," "Grand Theft Auto," etc.) won't ever come to the Switch."
