Nintendo Switch discussion thread
Nintendo's last couple of consoles have been built around really weird controllers, but now they're switching gears.
...What?
*Sigh* College has me kinda sleep-deprived, gimme a break.
Anyway...
I didn't believe the "Home console-handheld hybrid" rumor at first because I had no idea how the hell that was supposed to be possible, but apparently it is. Obviously we don't know how well it actually works yet, but I'm impressed that they even found a way to pull off something like that.
Discuss.

Re: Nintendo Switch discussion thread
It seems like it could be really good. I'm going to wait until after it comes out before I listen to the hype though, we might have another Wii U on our hands.

Re: Nintendo Switch discussion thread
That seems to be the general consensus, although it's worth noting that the Switch's reveal trailer has been much better received than the Wii U's. The Wii U's was all over the place reception-wise.Bad At Gravity wrote:It seems like it could be really good.

it's probably gonna live or die on it's battery life (quick glare at 3ds and wii u gamepad) but it's a better, less confusing pitch than the wii u so i think it had the potential to at least do well saleswise
it would be nice to have a good-selling nintendo console again so we can get some third party action

Re: Nintendo Switch discussion thread
The thing is, the Switch doesn't need to be extremely powerful, Nintendo's consoles never were. While the PS4 and Xbox are trying to be more like a PC, the Switch is doing something new. Though if rumors are true, it won't be a total piece of crap power-wise.

Re: Nintendo Switch discussion thread
Why would Nintendo want to make a total piece of crap (like this isn't)? And BAG, the rumors are probably true, from the trailer.

Re: Nintendo Switch discussion thread
Anyone still using their switch regularly? I've had no reason to turn it on lately. Hopefully something good comes out for it soon.
