Yeah, just like you need to buy two handhelds to play individually if you don't want to share.

>Okay so if both my brother and I play Pokémon will we need to buy 2 (TWO) Switches with the Dock and everything just to play individually?
Holy hell.
Wew lad, just buy another pokemon cartridge, just like how it is on the 3DS.

>>29311564
Yeah but the switch is more expensive than a handheld.

>>29311536
>>29311597
We play together, though.

>>29311635
Did they reveal the price already? Who am I kidding, it's Nintendo. We'll get another overpriced outdated hardware.

>>29311635
you can buy it without a dock or pro controller for the price of a handheld

You'll have to take turns like you do with your single 3DS.

The tablet is a controller AND a stand-alone handheld, doofus. of course you can use 2 for one console.

But if it only takes one cart....goodbye to dual cart pokemon games. Only via wifi or using pokebank will you can have other players pokemon in battle.

2 3DS + 1 WiiU

vs

2 Switch

The winning argument goes to >>29312498

>>29311514

I'm sure they are gonna sell the hand held separately and have a bundle with the dock but only one of you will be able to play on the big screen.

>>29311514
Me and my brother are getting two of them too, just so we can have them in two rooms in our house.

It's also smaller. May not require memory cards?

>>29312548
You need the Wii U play Wii U games. Or you can get a Switch and play Wii U games and handheld games. Or, games of both the home console breed and the portable breed.

HMM REALLY MADE ME THINK

>>29312635
It's possible the price will be lower, but I dont see it being handheld priced. The lowest it would go is still probably slightly above an XL, which will be a tough switch after so much people buying regular sized 3DS' and 2DS' for affordability.

I know I'd be screwed since Ive only ever bought handhelds from Ninty

>>29312548
wut.
>>29311514
says 2 switches with dock to play pokemon at the same time. why would they need a wiiu if they have the switch for home consoling already

>>29312695
It was clear in the video that there was backwards compatibility, retard.

King Boo isn't in Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, but he was clearly seen in the Switch trailer.
So either it's an enhanced port (most likely), or it's Mario Kart 9.
Splatoon is also likely an enhanced port. The Inklings had different hairstyles that are not in the Wii U version of the game.

>>29312911
I think we saw enough of the MK build to see it's MK8+. Exact same UI, and includes the same returning stage as in the MK8 DLC. However with Splatoon we didn't really see enough. It could be Splatoon+ or it could be a full-on Spla2n

>>29312763
>>29312780
I mean I know that's easy to say, but it's the same argument people use for always online Xbox or VR taking up a whole room. It's not really a very good defense because the reality is that's a huge chunk of potential customers you lose by doing stuff like this.

It's being marketed as a handheld, but without being attainable by the handheld market, price-wise. Without a dedicated handheld version I dont know how this will work, and especially not for the people on /vp/ where there's a thread of someone asking about buying a 2DS every other day

In the trailer you see people playing a Splatoon tournament. They take their tablet thing to the arena and fit in some pre-placed docks.

I believe they will let you buy them separately, it only makes sense. Some people might not want to connect to the TV.

>>29312953
There will be two SKUs probably. One for just the unit for people who only want a handheld and one with everything for people who want it all.

>>29312984
I also think Ninty isnt going to fully abandon the 3DS until late next year at the earliest

>>29311514
if rumors are correct you'll likely be able to by the core unit by itself. Still pricey but not AS much $$$

>>29312721
>you can play GameBoy carts on a GameBoy Color

It's how it works, dummy. MK8 and Splatoon are just getting enchanced rereleases.

>>29312953
>It's being marketed as a handheld, but without being attainable by the handheld market, price-wise.
Uhhh, are you retarded? All signs indicate the Switch will cost $300, which isn't particularly pricey considering the Vita cost that much at launch and was JUST a handheld(with a shitty game library). The Switch is a relatively cheap home console that comes with a free handheld.

Do you guys think this will play 3DS and DS games?

>>29313162
it doesn't have any dual screen support so i doubt it

>>29312498
Huh...nice one anon!

>>29313097
And how well did the Vita sell? How much lower did the price go?

If the Switch sells well, it will be people who normally buy consoles and have the added bonus of taking it everywhere, but I doubt the people who normally buy handhelds will be buying this at 300 dollars when the 3DS was tanking at 260 before the price drop

>>29312924
They just confirmed it's just Splatoon with updated customization options for the Switch. In other words, a remastered port.

>>29313162
I think it'll play 3DS games. Welp, I really hope it does.

>>29311514
anyone know if it's backwards compatible with 3ds games?

>>29313183
the screen is easily large enough to emulate dual screen though

>>29312498
pretty much. It may take time for it to sink in that this is the combination of Nintendo's handheld and home console markets

>>29312902
Because you have no answer

>>29312920
Wrong. There is no disc slot there and there wouldn't be any space for a reader on it.

>>29311765
I hope this turns out to be true.

>>29313162
No. Unless they use some sort of weird system where you hold the tablet sideways and use the touch screen for controls it's just not feasible.

>>29313200
source it fagt

>>29313209
no info at this point. Have to wait till nintendo is ready to get specific in what the system can do

>>29313216
yeah but having them side by side is shitty and awkward. when nintendo does BC they want it to be as close to the original experience as possible. virtual console ports however...

>>29313197
It's a good thing you're not in charge of a business since you're a complete retard.
The Switch is all about value. You're too stupid to think about it as a home console AND a handheld.

Didnt take very long to get to the "It's a good thing you're not in charge of a business" bullshit. Sweet

I know it's both, and that value is good. But that value is good to people who typically bought both, but to people who only by handhelds, this is just extra cost they dont normally plan for

>>29313368
>it's only good value if you were gonna drop twice as much cash
You are completely fucking retarded. Even if I look at it from your dumbfuck perspective the Switch is great value because you're getting a home console for $50 or $100.
Holy fuck, how can you be this fucking stupid?

>>29313492
Someone who literally cannot afford a home console will not be able to afford it because they want it more.

Again, this is a company that released a 2DS and sells refurbished systems to make the handheld available to more people. People saying they only got the system because the 2DS cost 60 dollars. Think for even a millisecond, dumbfuck

>>29313200
So? Still a port not the same wii u games. Face it wii u cant be played on it.

>>29313735

It's a handheld that you can hook up to your tv. It's not a "real" home console faggots.

>Nintendo continued: "The dock is not the main console unit of Nintendo Switch. The main unit of Nintendo Switch is the unit that has the LCD screen, which the two Joy-Con controllers can be attached to and detached from. The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system."

Just like a Wii U, I guess. But if you can't afford a TV/Monitor then buying a game console shouldn't be among your considerations right now, anon.

>>29313839
Are you comparing the 2DS sales to a console 3 years older than it? With no data on refurbished console sales? Hell, we didnt even get 2DS sales data for the longest time. Not to mention the price having to be cut for the console to take off in the first place.

At least I know I can stop replying to you know, lol

This is literally the best example of a Nintendrone I've ever seen, never change /v/.

He isn't arguing that the value for the system as a whole (the handheld + dock) is bad for what it is, but because those who might want it solely for the handheld purposes MAY NOT be willing to spend a higher price than let's say a New 3DS XL.
Handhelds are normally a cheaper alternative to traditional "at-home" consoles, but if the price of the Switch as a standalone handheld is more similar in price to a new XB1 or PS4 when it launches, there will obviously be some people thinking that that's too expensive for them and what they intend to use that Switch for.
Christ man, I think the Switch looks neat but if the price for the handheld version alone is what I might pay for another at-home console already I can see why some people wouldn't want to shell out the money for it.

He said 3DS XL, which came out the year prior to the 2ds not 3

>>29314244
the price difference between them is negligible enough that as long as it has a good library in the opening months, I don't think most people will care about spending an extra $50

>>29313735
>the people who can only afford to spend $60 for a console won't be able to buy the Switch so it's not a good value
Wowee zowee. This is powerful stupid. The people who can only afford $60 were never going to be able to afford Nintendo's next thing, handheld or console, dummy.

>>29313334
That looks pretty different to me

>>29311514

The difference is that the 3DS was backwards compatible. It was still technically a 3DS game.

It needs to be stable before it looks pretty, the demo has so many fps drops it's sad and it's all because of dated hardware.

Maybe the Switch's card slot will be able to read 3DS cards.

I hate this idea that portable console games are better. They're not. They are entirely designed around the fact that you're going to be sitting down undisturbed for a reasonable period of time.

Handhelds are much more pickup and play friendly, where you can knock out a level or two on the way to work. Skyrim and all the other shit like it don't work like that.
