New Remakes? First the Munchlax an later appears Cynthia...

Probably, but after ORAS I don't really have high hopes

Be prepared for your anus to bleed pleb. You are not ready for what is next

Yeah and Red and Blue are in the SM too. And there are a bunch of gen 1 forms. And characters make references about going to Kanto. FRLG remakes confirmed!!111

this is how retarded you remakefags sound.

Could use one, since they're too old to even be used by pokebank.

>>29886765

And yet the "remakefags" have been right, every single time.

>>29886723
well sun and moon use interdimensional travel and otherwordly beings as a main part of their story, so i would not be surprised if they implemented ultrabeasts into diamond and pearl history or postgame.
Also im hoping for Sinnoh forms of other pokemon. like changing the type of both gastrodon forms, or giving gen 1 pokemon originary from sinnoh sinnoh forms like sudowodo and chansey/blissey and mister mime

It's gonna be Diamond 2 Pearl 2

>>29886822
yeah remember when there was a Hoenn remake in 5th gen? That was great

>>29886723
Not this Gen at any rate.

Hopefully Morimoto is in control.

>>29886822
like the Hoenn remake in gen V?

I had a great time with Diamond and Pearl but the game aged like damaged avocado. Everything about it is so painfully slow.

Slow or not, it has great style, and I'd love to see the northern isles revisited in all their snowy, mountainous glory.

You're wrong and a fag OP.

Next remakes are gonna be Gen 1 on this baby.

That or Sun/Moon 2 with Kanto region post game.

A damn shame we can't convince them to just remake Platinum with the wi-fi events built in.

Honestly, I more expect Ruby/Sapphire 2 than I do D/P remakes. The way that the Battle Frontier was hinted at, the presence of Wally and wasn't Anabell from Emerald? I forget., weather-based buffs to Pelipper and Torkoal...

Rain Ruby and Shine Sapphire are incoming.

With the Switch coming out, there's no way we'll be seeing gen 4 remakes until Gen 8. I'm positive.

I think we've got one more mainline game on the 3DS and then it's done.

>>29887051
Sun/Moon will be the last Pokemon mainline game for the 3DS.

The 3DS is gonna get dropped as soon as the switch releases.

Same with the Wii U.

Nintendo is gonna focus all their resources on the Switch.

Switch comes out next year

Shortly after that, during E3 they will reveal the 3DS successor which will be scheduled at Q4 2017 or Q1 2018

They are busy churning out Pokemon games every year since they have two teams making games

My guess is that Gen 7 will have a sequel similar to B2/W2 and that will be the final Pokemon games for the 3DS

>>29886723
cynthia not having a remix basically confirms it

>>29887116
Well remember that BW2 came out after the 3DS launched. I think it really boils down to whether or not we get a third version in Gen 7.

I don't think they'll split a generation over two consoles.

Gen 7 is staying on the 3DS. Gen 8 will be on the Switch.

That's what I think at least.

They're obviously going to remake DP, they've been remaking the gens in chronological order. I really don't understand why people think they're not gonna happen, they're going to happen eventually. It's very obvious.
And it's probably not gonna come out on the Switch. It's too console-like, and main line Pokemon games never come out on the console.

>>29887169
Or it just confirms that Gamefreak is lazy, which we already know is true.
Sinnia and Dexio also didn't get new battle themes. Does that confirm a Gen 6 remake?

>>29887314
I think Nintendo is waiting to see how well the Switch does. If it bombs, they'll probably make a successor to the 3DS.
I think its a great idea to focus all of their departments onto one system though, so hopefully everything will just be on the Switch from now on.

Not the guy you're arguing with, but they also claimed that the DS was not a GBA replacement.

That's business speak. They need to say things like that or else people will stop buying their current products. If they said "the switch is replacing the 3ds", people would opt not to buy the 3DS and wait for the switch instead.

Why would anyone doubt a remake? They've remade all the old games up to ruby/sapphire, so we can assume they will keep doing it.

>>29887401
What else are they supposed to say? "The Switch is also replacing the 3DS so don't buy 3DS anymore"?

they're waiting until they see the Switch is a success and if it is they can easily go all in on it and ditch the 3DS by 2018.

(lol

The Wii with all of its shortcomings clocked in 100+ million sales and they were up against Xbomb and Sonygros, their 8th gen Wii U bombed harder than Nagasaki and Hiroshima because it only had marginal improvements over the Wii that the PS4 absolutely raped it

They have zero competition in the handheld market since Sonygro threw in the towel for the failed Vita

There are 4x-5x more 3DS users than Wii U owners

The Switch being small and almost handheld/tablet-like is part of its gimmick, its never meant to replace the 3DS

The Wii owners will dump their Wiis to the trash or will buy/trade it in for a Switch

>>29886723
god, I hope so. I hate both xy and sumo. I loved oras (because I loved rse), so I'm really hoping for a decent remake of dppt.

>>29889470
>They have zero competition in the handheld market

except the entire mobile phone market you retard.

The whole point of the Switch is that it's a full console experience on the go instead of another shitty inbetween like the 3DS that people would rather take phones over.

Wii was successful because it appealed to casuals at the perfect time. That same market isn't there anymore.

>>29887421

I really hope the Switch isnt the 3DS successor, and rather something of an answer to mobile/pad gaming.

I want something I can carry around on long trips, but that giantass flimsy pad that looks more suited to campus life or a block party.

>>29886723
I find it odd that the Safari Balls in this game specify that they are to be used in the "Great Marsh" - The Sinnoh safari. Makes me think...

And yes, I hacked them in.

>>29890477
>The whole point of the Switch is that it's a full console experience on the go instead of another shitty inbetween like the 3DS that people would rather take phones over.

This would be fine if the Switch was actually on the go, not this wiiu+ sort of thing.
While mobile gaming is taking over, this is all the more reason for Nintendo to make a strong successor to the 3DS(which has done amazingly, despite mobile gaming). Nintendo can't maintain quality and keep this market at the same time, and it would be advantageous to have something for people that don't give any shits about mobile.

They won't win in the mobile market, but taking a cut of it along their normal handheld would be the best way to go. Especially because sony getting a foothold in the handheld market would be a very bad thing for them if they were to leave it empty.

>>29887973
Listing Wally under new style doesn't make sense. That'd be like if Red and Blue still had their FR/LG designs and listing them under New Style for using their remake designs.

>>29887452
>handheld

It sure didn't look like one. Just liked wiiu with slightly better range but not a handheld in any sense in the word. I want something I can take outside the house and it wont crack like an egg.

>>29887365

If only the Switch was a hybrid, and not just the illusion of one. Gonna be a shame when nintendo lets sony dominate the handheld market because no competition outside mobile.

>>29886723
I could really, genuinely expect gen 1 remakes first. Maybe 4th afterward.

With Pokemon Go and all the genwun faggotry in this game I think GF sees an opportunity to rope people back into the series again

Plus FR and LG were third gen which places them before the physical/special split and mega evolutions / alola forms could breathe a ton of life into them.

They'll merge the 3DS and Wii U into the Switch.

I screencaped all these posts just so you know.

>>29887269
>Nintendo needs this hybrid console to be successful so they'll want games on it ASAP.

The problem is that if they want it to be successful they need a 3DS successor. This is good for the casual gamer, but gaming on the go(and mobile can never fill this gap, 3DS sales have proved it) needs something. It's what Nintendo does well and they absolutely need something to fall back on if the Switch fails.

I don't see any benefit in Nintendo *not* making another handheld, just because it's extra profit and they'll be *going into this gen without a handheld on the market*

It's incredibly stupid to think they would do this, but then again it my just happen because it's Nintendo. Poor business decisions are their gold standard lately.

>>29890710

You are correct. They probably wont.
However, it would be far better for them as a company and the consumers if they did. I'm hopping this sinking Nintendo ship either way because I know they're gonna try and push the Switch as a handheld when it clearly isn't good as one.

>>29890710
Better do it now because they have stated on record that the 3DS successor is just behind the Switch.

DP Remakes will be announced in February 2017.
New Megas, Z Moves AND Sinnohian Forms will be the highlight, only genwun Pokemon that don't evolve into a non-genwun will get forms and Megas are haphazardly scattered aside from the starters who also get Z Moves.
Games will be on par with ORAS in terms of content, and Rowan's assistant AKA Lucas/Dawn is given a bigger role so they can handhold you and be forced shipbait.
There will be no Battle Frontier, but Palmer will explain there were plans until Caitlin suddenly disappeared to Unova, and they couldn't find a replacement for her facility.
Battle Tree has the exact same NPC plus Barry and Palmer, and DP are retconned to happen closer to SM to explain why Red and Blue still look older instead of making models based on their HGSS looks.
No customization, again.
PokeRide isn't ported over so the remakes feel "authentic and faithful" while remaining "fresh." Enjoy your 2 HM Slave Requirements!
There will also be a plethora of minor quirks /vp/ will explode over.

>>29890834

While I hate the Switch, all they've said is the 3DS will continue "in its own form" into the future. This could mean anything.

A real shame, as I have no interest in a console and would much rather something I can carry with me. I'm but a drop in the bucket, but I suppose Nintendo will just be losing my business this gen. Hopefully Sony can do some good things when not being stamped out by the Big N in the handheld market.

>>29890850
>No customization, again.

You this like it's a bad thing. Maybe Sun/Moon could have had more actual content if they got rid of this gimmicky shit.

>>29890911

It is. Especially with the trainers being shown in battle now. Online would look terrible if everyone was only the same two characters and it ruins immersion.

>>29890911
It's been a feature fans have been screaming for, and until XY, only Battle Revolution was able to satisfy this.

>>29890947

What ruins is immersion is all these balls ugly characters that people think makes them unique or something. Too many games are trying to appeal to the self insert casuals when I miss playing as characters. Pokemon was more fun that way.
Putting this in just to appease children is just wasting space on the game.

>>29890977
>The Switch IS a handheld and home console in one though.

Just because something is portable doesn't make it a handheld console. This looks extremely poor for long distance travel, play in a moving vehicle, and anything I actually want from a handheld console.

The most use this "handheld" will see is being carried across town, at best, to set up in a friend's living room for a night of fun. As a console this is an amazing concept, but would by far being the shittiest handheld they've ever made is it would entirely remove playing on the go.

That's just them saying that the good goys should keep buying N3DS even though the successor is already way beyond prototype stage.

It will also look like the Switch but smaller while the XL version will be bigger than both.

Handhelds and game consoles take years to develop Anon.

There are more 3DS users than Wii U ones, Nintendo isn't retarded to dump their handheld market because they're scared mobile gaming is eating their profits.

Of course they will not blatantly say that they have the 3DS successor on the pipeline but Nintendo's own history proves otherwise.

Mobile gaming isn't shitting out Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Fire Emblem, etc. games.

No I think Nintendo is juuuust stupid enough to try and the pitch the switch as both a home and mobile console.

Which is a shame, they're losing out on a bunch of potential profits and the ability to gear the handheld at another audience. Same game developed 3DS2 and Switch, with features that different between them! If they keep graphics somewhat on par this could easily work.

This is basically what I'm expecting. The big thing of Gen 6 was Mega Evolution, so they implemented that into ORAS.
The big things of Gen 7, are Alolan Formes, and Ultra Beasts.

It's possible certain Alolan mons, like Vulpix and Sandshrew will just be added to Route 217 and Mt. Coronet (probably with new form names to explain it- "Arctic Forme", maybe?), but I'd bet good money on Game Freak finding a way to introduce new UBs.

They're not gonna add new Pokemon mid-gen, but Pokemon that have adapted to the Ultra Beast dimension (or the Distortion World) is something I could see happening.

Maybe Team Galactic's experiments at the lakes have opened cracks in the fabric of the universe, and the nearby Pokemon are either being transformed, or Pokemon FROM those worlds are escaping into the wild and wreaking havoc.

>>29891597
Alolan Formes are easy to implement since Sinnoh introduced location-based evolutions and added more evolutionary items

Ultra Beasts can easily be thrown in Turnback Cave and/or Distortion World

Gen 4 remakes on the 3ds as the last games for it. The games that brought the series to the DS family will also be the ones to see it off.

Then after that, we will get RBG remakes and/or sequels on Switch, so the games that started the series on handheld also start it on console.

Id certain hope not. The thing with pokemon, pocket monsters, is that they wanted to keep it portable. Interviews have even said as such. That'd just be where the series truly died, if the case.

To continue Masuda's current fetish of "surprising the fans by doing something completely unpredictable", I'm guessing the gen 4 remakes won't be DP, but rather a Platinum remake.

The fuck are you talking about?
Have you just not even seen the trailer? This isn't the WiiU's "You can take it ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE!". The base is just a charger+connector for the tv. The tablet IS the console, and it is extremely portable.

Its literally the successor to the Nvidia Shield.

>>29892222
It has real analogs though.

>>29892298

If you believe that I actually pity you. Even from a design point, losable parts and an exposed screen is a poor deal.
But expecting a console and handheld to link up in this perfect system is a fallacy: it will be a shitty watered down version of the home version, at best, or the console will be extremely underpowered.

Combine with bad batterylife(this'll probably be wonderswan tier here) and they've given me no reason to suspect it's going to work when im overseas or on a flight.

The game footage shown? Not even real footage.
But you put it the right way, this is exactly the WiiU's LOOK I CAN TAKE IT ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE with a range of anywhere at your campus/block. This isn't a bad thing, but horrible for a handheld.

Great as a console, shit as a handheld. Nintendo needs to go back to basics rather than forcing gimmicks, let alone forcing gimmicks that cannibalize the worst parts of what they did best.

where are you getting this from? why do you think there's a ''range''?

>>29892572

Where are you getting it can go anywhere? You can tell it can't just looking at it.
Shit kids are stupid these days.

>>29892531

I'm more worried at what being have mobile tablet means for the games.
A successor handheld would at least assure we could get some quality games, but anything on the Switch is probably going to be watered down baby shit like OR/AS. Mobile gaming is casualization and it's sad I wont have a 3DS 2.0 to escape to.

>>29892602
>Where are you getting it can go anywhere?
cause the trailer focused on it doing just that.

again, where are you getting that the thing has a range? why would it have a range when you're bringing the whole system with you sans the docking platform which only serves as a tv output?

>>29892531
the fuck kind of 'range' are you talking about? It doesn't have a fucking 'range' it doesn't connect to anything. Its a self contained system.

THEY LITERALLY SHOW IT BEING USED ON A FUCKING AIRPLANE.

I'm not saying its a perfect system. I'm saying it IS a portable system, because it fucking IS. It might not be easy to carry around, and will need a dedicated case for it if you plan to do so regularly, but it IS portable.

I don't get it, ORAS was on a handheld, so why are you saying a handheld successor would have good games?

No, it doesn't. Why don't you just explain it, because I don't know what the fuck you're going on about either.

You can argue it has limited probability being so goddamn big, but there is absolutely no "range" involved.

>>29892721
>>29892721
>Splatoon, the new Zelda and the first good looking 3D Mario since Galaxy.

Splatoon and Zelda are already on the wiiu, and a new mario will come out regardless. Galaxy looking is also a bit of a dealbreaker, but thats just personal.

>>29892721
>I don't get it, ORAS was on a handheld, so why are you saying a handheld successor would have good games?

What i'm saying is that that ORAS will be the gold standard of difficulty and post game content by the time the Switch is finished.

>>29892771
>But there is absolutely no "range" involved.

The trailer has shown otherwise, but yet you seem to keep pulling this "unlimited range" thing out of your ass

>>29892678

With unfinished, non system footage super imposed. I can take my SNES on an airplane and edit some things in. That make it portable?

By that logic, so was the wiiU. I could pick it up and carry it around.

I should have realized it earlier. I'm literally arguing with a retard.

>>29892807

So what? How do they not count? Plus the Switch version, whatever it is (either spla2n or an enhanced version) has different content shown in the trailer.

> ORAS will be the gold standard of difficulty and post game content by the time the Switch is finished.
I still don't get what you're saying.

I'm pretty sure it's just one Nintendoshill samefag trying to bait you. Stop taking the bait.

It was as portable as a laptop with a dead battery, like mine, because you needed an ac adapter. The Switch was shown to not need one, hence why it fills the role of a ''handheld''.

Sad Nintendo is dropping handhelds for an experiment. If they were smart they'd make a 3DS successor before combining next gen, provided the Switch is successful.

You say as we see the back of the thing, no power on, and a guy just staring at what has been confirmed, by Nintendo, to be a blank screen.

Excuse me if I care about how far the thing's range goes and amnot willing to accept WiiU+

>>29893228
I'd say it's more like they're dropping both and came up with some hybrid abomination that fulfills neither's roles

>>29893280

Wait the gameplay footage wasn't real? Why the fuck did they even have a trailer with nothing to show?

>>29893228
No, they are releasing the Switch, which is an experimental console in the same way that DS was an experimental handheld. If the Switch is successful, they will merge their most of their handheld development into console, and focus solely on the Switch, instead of fighting the console war on two fronts.

If it fails, they will release a new handheld to be the successor to the 3ds, and will likely go the way of Atari when it comes to consoles.

>>29893285
Well theres >>29893137 insisting it's a handheld and that the stand does nothing, and then theres another guy that pointed out the design flaws and how it's range/battery life will probably be an issue.

From the sound of it they did make a hybrid abomination that fills neither role well.

>>29893338
So the key to getting a decent handheld experience is hoping the Switch fails? I see that as counter productive when a handheld/console split would allow people to pick and choose what they want to buy(sometimes even buying both) and help them better compete against mobile gaming.

The last thing they wanna do is let Sony take the spot of having good handhelds.

>>29893338
They're releasing a stopgap to replace the failed wiiu and let the aging ds die while they build a library for an actual handheld with actual portable specs followed by an actual console on a more powerful chip on the same platform. Seriously, they released all this information 2 years ago.

>>29893395

Nintendo would do ok if they kept their handhelds gimmicky like the 3DS and focused on making their consoles competitive. INSTEAD we got more gimmicky shit that cannibalizes the ONE THING they did this gen that gave them any profit. Even the investors paniced after the announcement .

>>29893351
As far as I know, the dock is literally just a charging station with some cooling fans and possibly a hdmi connection to your TV for playing at home

But the tablet itself is the real console, with the CPU, GPU and RAM built inside. There shouldn't be any range to speak of, the only limiting factor is the battery life

>>29893427

Fuck, this mean Switch is the intended handheld? It's not fair that we'll be getting a real console later while they kill handheld gaming because the WiiU was shit.

>>29886765

I haven't played the games yet and even I've seen a lot of Sinnoh references already.

-Munchlax given out as an event Pokemon.

-Cynthia - The only character who is a current champion is at battle tree (Red and Blue are no longer champions)

-Silvally - Arceus wannabe with the types

-Silvally's Ability - RKS, sounds like Arceus.

-23 Sinnoh Pokemon in the dex - Majority being pre-evolutions and Evolutions of older Pokemon, so there's only a couple of original Sinnoh Pokemon in the dex, most likely keeping most for the remakes.

-DIAMOND Head - PEARL Harbor (Ok that ones a stretch/coincidence)

>>29893482

Which brings us right back to cannibalizing the handhelds to force you to buy a console instead of focusing on making a functioning handheld.

>>29893487
The Switch is both handheld and home console.
TIme to deal with it.

>>29893487

What will probably happen is that, if the Switch fails, they'll decide the handheld route was the problem and just cut them out all together, despite the Switch not checking any of the boxes it should to be a successful handheld.

And then we'll get the gamecube+more cores+another gimmick after that.

>>29893487
The switch is what it is. The handheld that comes next may not be like the switch, but it will have the same chip and play the same games. Cheap and easy porting is the name of the game. Will the handheld have 2 screens? Hard to say, but if the 3ds doesn't die like they intend it to (let's be hones, it's already dead), it might.

>>29893280
>far the thing's range
But there is no range, there's nothing to be in range of, you take the whole system with you except the dock which you use to charge the battery and as a tv output.

>>29886917

LOL are you kidding? This is your argument? People expected it in Gen 5, it didn't happen, but Hoenn remakes STILL HAPPENED, so what if it wasn't in the generation that people expected.

We might expect D/P remakes this gen and not get them until the next gen, doesn't mean anything.

They could fucking announce it tomorrow and you denial faggots will still try and find some stupid argument to debate it.

>>29893541
>I'll laugh my ass off when the Switch sells like hotcakes and the tears from home console and handheld purists start flowing in.

It's nice you'll be enjoying yourself, and I'd probably enjoy the Switch as well in that case, but laughing over the death of handheld gaming isn't something I could really do, yanno?

Some people don't want a console and want something they can carry around, what don't you get about that?

>>29893584
Why would it kill handheld gaming?

>>29893556

It'd be ideal if we got a true handheld that ran lower spec switch stuff, I'd love true unity between handheld and console.

At least something like the 2DS is to the 3DS so I don't have to buy a console that I would never use.

>>29893584
>and want something they can carry around
You can't carry the Switch around?

>>29893584
>Some people don't want a console and want something they can carry around, what don't you get about that?

So you can carry the switch around.

I still don't get what your problem is.

"Pure" handhelds are dead anyway.
Smartphones murdered them.

>>29893545
>any of the boxes it should to be a successful handheld.
What are those boxes?

>>29893597

How would it not? Looking at the design, the complex and easy to lose parts for a handheld, the size/sticks being hard to fit anything, and it being intended first and foremost as a console says that we'd never get something we could carry on long trips ever again. While this is a wonderful as a console, it's awfully shitty as a handheld.

And then there is unconfirmed battery life and range issues.

>>29893351
Dont listen to the troll talking about the range. The way the console actually works:

There are 5 major "parts" to it.
>Tablet
This is the console itself. All the processing is done in there. No matter how you play it, it is a required part. Its basically a Nvidia Shield on steroids, with nintendo funding it.

>docking station
This is basically the All-in-One charger for the whole system, as well as the "home" part of the console. It has a place to dock in the tablet, allowing it to charge and use a television as the screen instead of the tablet. If you plan to use the system as a home console and not a handheld, the tablet will probably spend its entire life inside this thing.

>Pro controller
Pretty typical controller. Nothing special about it. Its used to play the games.

>+/- Controllers
These slide onto the tablet itself, on the left and right sides of it. They basically turn the tablet into a wiiu gamepad. They can be charged by docking the tablet with the controllers still attached to it. They can also be taken off and used wirelessly, one in each hand, in a setup similar to wiimote+nunchuck. No motion controls though, thank god. They can ALSO be used separately from each other for multiplayer, with each player getting one of the controllers, so instead of acting as one controller together, you get two mini controllers. They can ALSO be used with...

>+/- controller dock thing idk what the fuck its called
Its basically the pro controller, except its just a handle, with a wireless connector in it. You slide the +/- controllers on each side of it, and it forms a normal controller. I'm willing to bet it can also be plugged in to charge the whole thing, but that's just speculation on my part.

Using the tablet with the +/- controllers attached, it is entirely portable. The controllers can be used with it, for a experience like a typical handheld.

>>29886723
>he think remakes fix anything
outside of adding mechanics that didnt exist when the first ones came out they do nothing, wally was a miracle

>>29893630
It's a given, but they aren't killing off the ds until they milk it dry.

>>29893642

You say that but the 3DS sold incredibly well because it had games. It's specs are pitiful and it still sold on par with mobile games, so much that it carried Nintendo through the failing WiiU.

The Vita failed because it lacks games. Over saturation of mobile like things is bad, not everybody wants mobile games.

Switch doesn't seem like a good Pokemon console to me. A 6 inch screen with the joycons attached to it seems ridiculous to fit into your pocket, sounds as awkward as trying to put a 2DS in your pocket. I really don't wanna carry around a bag everywhere just to lug around the switch. Also if it lags as bad as the trailer, has a shit battery life, or cost an arm and a leg I won't buy it. If only Sony got there shit to gather the Vita could of been great, until Nintendo releases more info I see the Switch taking the same path as the Vita more or less.

>>29893351

Yeah the range issue means I'll be waiting a year or two until they come out with a definitive version. Anybody not doing so is a fool.

>>29893665
>the complex and easy to lose parts for a handheld
That's like saying the DS killed handhelds becuase of the easy-to-lose stylus.
>the size/sticks being hard to fit anything
What?
>and it being intended first and foremost as a console
How so? It's just a fucking tablet that comes with a tv output.
>range
I think you're shitposting at this point. There is no range.

>>29893700
Actually the Vita has a shitton more games than the 3DS, especially in these past 2 years where a new vita game gets announced every week or so whereas the 3DS gets jack shit in comparison. See: Gematsu and Siliconera.

Meaning that what made the 3DS sell over the Vita was Nintendo games and Monster Hunter.

>>29893677
>>he think remakes fix anything
FR/LG and HG/SS did.

>>29893796
Quality games. Sheer number of games isn't really an issue, but games non niche players will buy. You can release two dozen niche/shit games but a good one will always outsell them.


>>29893737
>That's like saying the DS killed handhelds becuase of the easy-to-lose stylus.
I was actually able to use my finger for the most part. A q-tip worked just as well.

Meanwhile, the entire *control scheme* for the switch comes out and losing it would make the thing unplayable. This is a serious issue and no grasping at straws is going to change that.

One anon shitposting it has no range also isn't something I can take as fact, not when other's in the thread have concerns about it and they've yet to actually show what he claims.

>>29893726

How can it have a range issue when there is no range? You're carrying the whole console with you just like a handheld.

If you think the fact that the console is portable isn't reliable because the trailer was staged, you might as well be saying that we dont even know what the console even looks like at this point. They weren't using a REAL one after all, so maybe they were lying about what it looks like?
