arms was a failure
splatoon 2 IS splatoon 1
zelda also on pc/wiiu
mario kart also on pc/wiiu

you only got the glorious 1,2 switch

the wifi is fucking garbage. seriously, the worst.
you pretty much have to have a wireless access point in every room you want to play it in.

>>387714080
So was that Nvidia tablet really as strong as this? I'm still kind of surprised it can run games that look as good as they do. I know other modern tablets are powerful as well but this still seems to be a step up.

>>387714080
It's basically a overclocked Wii U which is not saying much at all given how weak the Wii U was compared to PS4.

>>387714706
it doesn't have android bloating it up, so it runs better.

>>387714706
The problem with the Nvidia tablet is that Android is terrible for a dedicated gaming setup.

>>387714706
>I know other modern tablets are powerful as well but this still seems to be a step up.
It's actually a step down since it's underclocked

>>387714080
How is it the greatest? . Splatoon 2 is great but it may as well be Splatoon 1. Others stuff are ports

quite remarkable how this little shit can run botw as good as it does

>>387715157

>>387714865

Switch is going to hit a brick wall soon since it only has 4gb of RAM

Anyone here play I am Setsuna? Is it good or worth the 40$?

>>387714080

we had to reach this point eventually, although nintendo didn't do it because mobile is the future, they just did it becaue it happened to be their most successful branch

>>387714706

the advantage switch has over phones and tablets is the same advantage consoles had over computer architecture before they became bloated themselves: cheap OS using next to zero resources, all power redirected for vidya purposes only

>>387715157
BotW is basically a 7th gen game. It has very low geometry and texture detail. Yes, it's open world, which is basically a first for Nintendo, but considering the complexity of the graphics it's really not that impressive. Galaxy looks like a more impressive game and even that is still very 7th gen looking, probably because it has to run at 60 fps

>>387715509
it's a average jrpg. personally I would wait until it goes on sale

By selling inferior hardware and catering kids and oxymoron fanboys.

>>387715712

TIME FOR A SPICY ARGUMENT ABOUT NINTENDO

>>387715917
not only that but nintendo can't compete in the home console space exclusively anymore, so that's why they market the switch tablet as a handheld+home console. if it fails as a homeconsole, nintendo has the handheld part to fall back on.

>>387714570
>zelda also on pc

There's always going to be piratefags.

>>387714080
PS4 is objectively the best console you can get right now. It's cheaper than the Switch, more powerful, and has a way better library of games and japanese third party support

>>387716253
arigatou, ps4 representative (shill)
will pick up one today

>>387716010
I can see it now.

>Just before we launch Pokemon Ass and Tits Switch Edition, we would like to announce the ""NEW"" Nintendo Switch! It has better hardware to play the new Pokemon better, we listened to feedback and made it so you can voice chat directly on the system (this is "NEW" switch exclusive, old switch can't do it!)

>>387715820
>7th gen
Well yeah, it is. Nintendo games are modern mechanically and presentation wise so they feel more 'new' but since the Wii they have remained half a gen behind the competition. I still think it's pretty impressive.

>>387714080
It's a little too indie heavy right now, save for Nintendo First Party games

>>387716346
Good. Make sure to pick up Gravity Rush 2 and Crash Trilogy.

>>387716404
>Pokemon "Ass and Tits" (heh) is a "new" switch exclusive
>they didn't do this for Pokemon Sun and Moon on the 3DS line
ok

>>387716668
Just like Vita except with first party support this time. Enjoy your endless shovelware of indies and every AAA third party ignores the device.

It's not hard to achieve 60fps when games like Splatoon and Mario rabbids look like upscaled GameCube titles.

Upscaled gamecube titles, not lower than 480p images.

>>387714080
I started my first job 2 months ago and wanted to buy myself a current gen console in a few days. First there was no question at all that I would get a switch but then I actually looked at the game library. Literally only Zelda and by the end of the year you will also have Mario. Then I looked at the PS4 Library. Bloodborne, Yakuza, Nioh, N Sane Trilogy, Persona 5, Horizon etc. It doesn't have many games either but at least it offers a halfway decent library and there are some good things to come like KH3 and Dragon Quest 11.

I probably won't buy anything but I can recognize that the Switch is absolutely worthless at the moment.

>>387718445
Seriously, I could've afforded Nintendo Switch online as a fucking elementary student

>>387718268

also yes I mean that.
in splatoon 2 they used adaptive resolution to keep 60fps whereas if they just threw 1080p in there and didn't give a shit about performance it would be running 30fps and then I'd probably have a reason to sell my switch

For one are we talking about RESOLUTION or how the game LOOKS side by side with Splatoon (particles, textures, lightning, etc.)?

>>387716613
The Wii was half a gen behind. The Wii U was a full gen behind. The Switch is 1 and a half gens behind. At this rate, Nintendo's 10th gen console (the successor to the Switch) will only be as powerful as the original PS4

>>387720742
It's absolutely retarded to compare resident evil and Splatoon together as they're made by different companies and have way different artstyles.

Compare Splatoon to Mario Sunshine. They arent too different.

>>387720742
>>387720451

what's funny is that people actually care about 4k ultra realistic spectacular graphics in a nintendo game

>>387720336
I don't really agree with paid online but it's really hardly anything they're charging compared to the competition. This is more of a general thing, but I do not support the notion of "it was once free so it should always remain free" and conversely "it once cost x so it should always cost x." Things just change.

As long as we get to 1080p and 60 fps and start focusing on game play first again I'll be perfectly alright. I wish game devs would stop trying make 4K games considering we haven't even hit that 1080p 60 fps standard across the board yet.

What exactly makes it the "greatest console"? It's certainly not the hardware, not the controller, not the screen or not anything hardware related. Even in terms of games it flat out loses to the Wii U at the moment. The only thing that makes it the "greatest console you can get right now" is blatant fanboyism.

>>387721186
Who cares about the competetion? Last I heard Nintendo themselves said that they don't consider themselves competition to Sony or Microsoft anymore. They do their own thing. And it's still bullshit to pay any fee to trade virtual Pokemon online when for decades it was free.

Brand name recognition and great first party support. That's literally all the handheld has going for it.

>>387718291
This argument won't work anymore when Mario comes out

>>387718426
But apparently it's hard to run a crash remaster at 60fps on more powerful consoles? Weird, isn't it?

>>387723480
The graphics are way too good in crash trilogy. They use a ton of fur shading and lighting effects. Switch would struggle with it without some serious downgrade to fit the tablet hardware.

>>387723623
>The graphics are way too good
This is a Sonybro everybody

>>387714706
It uses Nvidia tech, but the processor in the Switch is a more advanced model than the version in the Shield tablet, and it's fully optimized for games.

>>387723773

Except he's right, they are way too good for a typically-under powered Nintendo console.

Not saying Crash HD is best graphics ever or anything but it's WAY more than Switch can handle.

How prudish is Nintendo going to be with the Switch if they're the only handheld option going forward? Are companies like Compile Heart going to be stuck releasing for Vita for another 10 years since Sony doesn't seem keen on releasing a successor handheld?

>>387714623
eh, not the worst ive had in a gaming device
my o3ds and ps4 have more wifi issues

>>387723773
Yes the graphics are so good that switch can't handle it without a major downgrade. That's the fact why so many third party devs stay away from the switch and all your left with is Unity shit 2D pixel crap Indies like the Vita.

>>387724449
>Except he's right, they are way too good for a typically-under powered Nintendo console.

>>387724514
Why would they be the only handheld option in the future? Do you honestly believe sony gives up on profits only because the vita didn't do as well as they had hoped? The vita was basically their backbone in japan and secured them the niche market. Consoles sell like shit in japan, the PS4 alone will never be able to attract small japanese companies by itself

It's only a matter of time before Compile Heart starts releasing Switch games. I mean if Gust can, Compile Heart can.

>>387725482
Nintendo uses a custom engine for Zelda and they still get frame drops at 720p even in caves

>>387725524
The vita was still the reason the PS4 even got most of the japanese games on it. Until recently vita versions of multiplats even sold more on the vita than the PS4.

>>387725298

Crash is a Unity game.

>>387725610

It was an engine design for the Wii U that they shoved onto the Switch.

>>387725610
Zelda is just one game
MK8, splatoon 2, ARMS, Mario and other upcoming titles are 60 pfs

>>387725782

I've played a lot of fucking by splatoon so far, and one of the big things that impresses me is that I haven't seen any slowdown at all. Even when I'm getting ass raped by an ink brush while people are firing inkjet everywhere, I've never seen any stutter. Maybe it's just a matter of choice of scale.

>>387718505
>emulation ever superior to the original game on the original hardware

lol what a fucking moron

>>387725575
Some of their titles, yes. But stuff like Moeru Chronicles, for example? Also: As much as consoles are supposedly waning, the handheld market is even more-so. Sony stated Vita would likely be their last handheld since mobile phone games eat into their sales too much.

At the very least, we're still probably looking at another 3-5 years even if Sony did release a new one.

With Nintendo leaving the true handheld market, is there more of a niche there for a new Vita in a more handheld format? Switch is kinda portable, but its pretty bulky.

>>387714410
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6__TvBzAVj8

>>387726841

I don't think the game would be any more fun with super-detailed textures on the characters. It would probably ruin the light-hearted feel of the game desu.

I wish some of the maps were bigger though. Rainmaker shouldn't end in 30 seconds because you lost the first fight really bad.

>>387726602
mario and rabbids is not 60 fps, it's 30. regardless, why would you need 60 fps in a strategy game?

The best part of all this chat about how underpowered the switch is compared to the other consoles implies that the other two produce much worth looking at. Bloodbourne and uncharted maybe but everything else just looks so better than the PS3/360 days.

>>387727983
tbf what we've seen of the game doesn't look too demanding for the devs not to go for 60fps

>>387727983

I literally measure my enjoyment of a game by the fps I get

>>387728208
It's ubisoft we're talking about, they won't

>>387728208

So, instead of straining the hardware to try and get 60fps, how about they just focus on making the game more fun and putting more content in it?

>>387727816
>frame drops and lower res are better because original platform
It takes a good PC to run it better though, why did you sure that as a point against it?

>>387727852
>But stuff like Moeru Chronicles, for example?
Could if they want. Switch is pretty inexpensive to dev for, especially if going digital.

>>387728412

>>387728392
>Ubisoft putting in more content

>>387718505
>it runs significantly better.
HAHAHAHAHA you need a $1000 pc to even get close to stable 30fps. Its shit.

>>387729331

Did you miss Bayonetta? Because it looks like Switch will get another Bayonetta, though may just be a port.

>>387729331
Nintendo doesn't have any such policy. You can find 17+ M-rated games on their hardware. Nintendo's even published some themselves.

>>387729992
>>387730091
Well, hopefully that's what happens then. Although weren't they releasing nukige and other otaku games on PSP for like 10 years before moving to Vita? So its possible they continue to support Vita for a number of years yet.

>>387716253
