The Wii U had many problems, but I haven't had as much love for a Nintendo device since the n64. And now the Switch seems to make the Wii U/gamepad look like child's play. I'm excited.
I'd like to think that, eventually, families will decide to get more than one switch. Like if a new Pokémon game came out and I had to fight my wife on who gets to play first/now, I'd be going out and getting another one.
I believe this could be potentially clever on nintendo's part. The price would have to drop first though.
@NImH worst idea? I was having fun envisioning an approach Nintendo could take. If you want to get into a real worst idea, continuing the ds with an hd iteration in today's mobile market is suicide. You can laugh at my mini mini joycons all you want, but it's not the size that matters...it's how Wii Use it.
@Capt_N I didn't mean to have a mini version run with better hardware to be the superior version. I just meant to have better hardware in it so that, even though it would be smaller, it would still be equal to the standard version. I just wouldn't want them to cut corners to be able to get a smaller version out and have the same problems they have with 3ds/n3ds.
I want to see the 3ds be put out to pasture so badly, but I understand that that would leave a LOT of portable fans furious.
I want to see Nintendo phase out the 3ds in 1 to 2 years by making a Switch Mini that actually COULD fit in your pocket and maybe have mini (mini) joy cons so you can still switch (ugh) them out. With that much time they could possibly put better hardware in the small version to keep the specs the same.
Okay, I remember getting my Xbox roughly 13 years ago and getting an Xbox live cd. I was paying for online BACK THEN. Why is it when Nintendo finally takes a step forward and decides to compete with the competition, they are considered evil? As long as it is better than what it's like currently, I will be content.
@Deadstanley It's just not comfortable to me. The Galaxy games themselves are amazing. I was just playing mg2 a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with all the callbacks to older marios that it had. If I could just not have to keep pointing that wiimote at my tv I would be in bliss.
I just want it to be 11pm already. I cannot stress enough that a single player 3D mario is needed (in my opinion). I wasn't the biggest fan of the galaxy games because I couldn't stand using the wiimote and nunchuck, but even another galaxy game would make me ecstatic...IF they use a normal controller. Grah hype!!!
$10 for a mobile MARIO game??? Absolutely unacceptable! I will stick with candy crush thank you very much!!!!!! I've only had to pay $224 to buy more lives so far. Much more reasonable. <_<
Of course Nintendo will say they'll continue 3ds support. They still need to have a strong holiday season in terms of sales. If they said they were moving on to the Switch 100%, they would get slaughtered come December.
The Pocket was the first Gameboy I owned. I got a blue one with pokemon red and my best friend got a red one with pokemon blue the same xmas. I still have the game but the pocket is lost, most likely between one of my countless moves.
Why are people in such a rush for NX? I've had my wiiu for years now and I still am impressed with how much I truly enjoy it. Maybe it's because I'm older and appreciate the throwbacks such as mario maker and the quick unique fun I have with splatoon. The longer it takes for the NX to come out, the better it will be. I personally am ecstatic for it to come out in March. Maybe they will have more in stock since xmas will have come and gone which will give me a better chance to get one.
I wish it fit better in my hands. When playing games like Twilight Princess I just prop it up (so I can swap quickly or use the map) and just use the pro controller. I gladly sacrifice gyroscope for comfort!
I remember getting pokemon red and my Gameboy pocket at the same time on Christmas. I LOVE these games. I still have my original cartridge and play it from time to time. Kids today might not appreciate these gems (and I couldn't blame them because they didn't grow up with them) but I will NEVER have another game top the emotional bliss that I got with Gen 1 pokemon. The elite epitome of nostalgia.
I can't wait to hear that twilight battle music again. The strange look my wife will inevitably give me when that spastic noise plays over and over again will be priceless!
I can't bring myself to buy more 3ds/wii u games until I know more about this "NX". I've double dipped (and in some mario iterations, many more than that!) for plenty of games over the years, but I can't willingly bring myself to waste money knowing that the next Gen hardware will more than likely re-release the good ones.
