Also, if they were to actually do that, it would be so many different kinds of stupid. Both for the consumer, and them. They've done it before. We'll see soon enough if they do it again.

MJDDawg Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) They say $299.99 US North America. Does that mean $299.99 US in the US AND $299.99 CDN in Canada? Either way, nothing there to make me want to buy it right now. Edited January 13, 2017 by MJDDawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I see lots and lots of potential, but that presentation just left a massive pile of question marks for me. Was there a single definitive title set for launch except Zelda? I guess there was also that 1, 2 Switch thing and Splatoon 2 or whatever, but I doubt I would pay more than a few dollars for the latter, and wouldn't pay a dime for the former. Did they even say Skyrim would be a launch title? Most of the titles that excited me most were Square or Atlus titles that may not even see a North American release. I can't speak Japanese, so the region lock thing doesn't really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to go ahead and sell some stuff... outrageous. the pro controller is listed at $70 USD. then add on the Zelda game which is probably what 80 CDN? insane cost for a product completely hinged on Zelda for literally months (as far as we know) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimerez Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Even after the 450$ price tag with tax, I still woke up a little earlier for the 9AM PST pre-ordering time on Amazon. Pre-orders finished in like, 30 seconds so if I don't like it I'll just sell it when Nintendo (inevitably) releases like 3 of them to the world.

SabreFan1 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Here's a Forbes reporter's take on the release.... He is pretty much saying what the gaming media and Nintendo gamers in general have been worried about, anemic 3rd party game company cooperation. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/01/13/why-im-worried-the-nintendo-switch-is-just-another-wii-u/#1b0bcd4351f0 Quote And yet, nothing has really changed. The Wii U ended up with a number of great games in its arsenal by the end, but the console simply did not sell. It wasn’t enough. The Nintendo Switch almost certainly feels like a console that will release 1-3 solid exclusive games a year, and not all that much else, exactly like the Wii U. And while Zelda and Mario wowed last night, where was any hint of a Pokémon game for the Switch, either the rumored Pokémon Stars, the adaptation of the 3DS’s Sun and Moon, or its own unique title? How do you debut a system where the core function is portability, but you don’t explain that your most famous portable franchise is coming to that system? Quote Also, let’s be clear, this was the most anemic, half-hearted showing of third party support I’ve ever seen, even by Nintendo standards. Outside of Nintendo’s traditional Japanese partners, who did we see? EA, promising FIFA and nothing else. Ubisoft, promising Just Dance, Rayman, Steep, and nothing else. Bethesda, promising Skyrim, a remaster of a five year-old game, one that’s already out for rival systems, and one that won’t even be out until this fall for Switch. And nothing else.

Madness Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 So is this like replacing the 3DS as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Switch is their premium handheld, while 3DS would be a basic. The 3DS is still profitable. It remains to be seen if the Switch will ever be.

GLASSJAW Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sold out at all my local stores and online pretty damn fast, so obviously there is some interest. I feel like I could easily get my money's worth just playing through Mario, Zelda, the DQ games, and the Atlus and Square-Enix games. I don't care about much else. But since very little of this will be available at launch, there is no need to scramble for a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying before that Nintendo was only going to have a limited amount of consoles to sell at first. I think that's their way of drumming up demand.
