The video looks awful

First impressions?

@AlexOlney It's astonishingly bad. Really bad.

There is simply no need and that would give you a third iteration of Switch when the next iteration needs to be the switch 2.

Any collaboration would be welcome as long as it's not a joint console. I don't want to see Nintendo go the way of Sega and end up being a games producer only. Switch in more iterations can have decades of success.
I've said many times before that all companies being successful only makes games get better. Success breeds competition.

If it's good in having it

@Dancampulung PNM is terrible. It’s reviews are so out of date and the digital issues are poor. Switch Player is great. More up to date and a good read for everyone.

No. It’s useless. Pathetic. The one thing Nintendo have got massively wrong with Switch. It’s literally pointless.

Been waiting for this

The link to Amazon says this will be released on 31st December 2020....

Will it use touch screen? Bit pointless if not

FIFA ‘96 remastered

I think the odd game or 2 each year on mobile is not an issue. I don’t and have never seen mobile games as proper gaming but every now and again a dip into a Nintendo game is fine for those want to.
I think my personal concern would be that it may take away from Nintendo’s core support and if it makes them mega money then they potentially might lose focus if the Switch.
For me the Switch is a console that should now run for many years as PlayStation and Xbox series X has. It’s the console that just suites everything Nintendo and I would never want them to lose sight of what a gem they have on their hands for decades to come.
An Apple style arcade sub though? I’d rather the sorted the switch online sub first before flogging us another under par service,

EA are partnering with Stadia. That tells you everything you need to know. Next.

I love the way they’ve captured the essence of the arcade cabinet. Short game but well executed!

Yes! Is there a physical release?

Let’s face it - Stadia having these games wont make a bit of difference to how it sells. Switch will keep selling without some of these titles. Stadia is a lame duck and they are struggling to shift it even for free!! EA will be getting a mega payment for this so that’s why they are doing it but who is going to go out and buy a Stadia just to play these games? Donald Trump might be the only one as he is a bit thick.

I hope they get this right because I loved this back on the day!

@MBII Erm.... Wii great then let us down with Wii U. That’s a start.

If you want crazy taxi get snakeybus - snake and crazy taxi together! Am loving that game!
I also tried the demo of this game and it was awful. Literally one of the worst games I have ever played. I’m not sure why they push games like this out. Maybe just hoping idiots will buy it regardless.
Ah.... people still buy FIFA....so there we have it.

My first ever gaming system - of sorts - was a game and watch. It was one with a flip lid screen and a paleish green colour. Loved that game so much. No idea if I still it own it tbh 30 off years on!

It was called...

@YANDMAN Oh I am thinking about it and it would be awesome - I’m just a bit less optimistic that they will go down that route but hope you are spot on!

@YANDMAN Sounds great and you certainly have a great deal of optimism for this. I hope there will be a significant upgrade but it would be very Nintendo to let us down. Again.

@yuwarite If it were to be no more powerful what would be the point? Surely the reason to introduce a more powerful model is to help porters to make the ports easier. Nobody is expecting it to be as powerful as next gen or anything like but just that ports can continue as they are now. We fully expect and accept a loss in some performance and graphical areas but a pro needs to be an upgrade not just a re hash. Of course this is only a rumour but of it true it would be a very naive and potentially fatal mistake from Nintendo. It wouldn’t be the first time that the made such a mistake - great success with the Wii, could have built on it but went and committed and epic fail. If they manage to cock up the Switch’s future it will be madness. Commercial suicide.

It just goes to prove beyond any doubt that gamers want Nintendo games more than ever even if means a step back to get them for a while. That’s the power of Nintendo.

I’d be surprised of the handheld element was dropped. In fact of it was it would be a disastrous decision of epic proportions.

Odd question I know but does this have a solo player mode or is it multiplayer only?

Thought I’d get this and it’s a lockdown perfection game!

That’s mad. Insane.

People that wouldn’t usually buy consoles are wanting a switch but you can’t buy them! So they are buying what they can. Also as many have said, some gamers just have bad taste

Brilliant controller making games accessible to all. I have never understood the hate for MS at all. A good company who like to try and innovate. Sometimes they get it wrong but so do Sony and Nintendo. Bravo Microsoft.

I think that it’s good and positive to hear a developer talking in this way. To port next gen to switch would be near impossible though - I totally expect a drop in certain areas of quality but from next gen to switch would perhaps be a little too much.
Whilst ever XBSX and PS5 games still come to the current gen, there will be plenty of games of a high quality coming to Nintendo Switch for at least 12 months, maybe even 18 months.
Both Microsoft and Sony have pretty much said they love having a strong Nintendo around at the top of their game. Having all parties performing well drives quality and competition is good.
Because Nintendo aren’t really taking on the other 2 they can sit in their own niche and Switch has given them the perfect way to do that successfully.
A new switch will need to come - it will need to be more powerful without being too expensive and must have backward compatibility with the current Switch.
I expect they will release this around holiday 2021 or maybe even 2022. Nintendo shouldn’t worry too much about the next gen but jut also guard against complacency.

I have just gone onto furlough for 2 months. Better than nothing but really tough times.

This was back in stock on UK store today .......sold out in 15 minutes!

The title of the article is a bit apocalyptic isn’t it? A disappointing week for Nintendo? It dropped 2 places in the middle of the worst health crisis in a generation! Hardly a disappointment! An overachievement considering the Switch is all but sold out across the world. The majority of Switch owners have probably got the game already so if you can’t buy a new switch you can’t buy the game!!
Disappointing week my ar3e

Some pretty rubbish games around now. How about a Jedi academy review?

@Tresszione as the perfect tonic!

Star Wars episode 1 racer! I loved that game!!

The Ninja game looks awesome! Looks a bit Splatoon 2! Can’t wait and it’s free

This again shows why the Switch has got plenty in the tank!
It doesn’t need to be the most powerful and there are some great games coming here that will be amazing to take on the go!!
Yes an upgraded version will be needed eventually but I’m just going to carry on loving the brilliance of playing quality games wherever I go!

@LinkSword I think the issue is that they should have just done these behind closed doors. No one really need to see it and it was just dull.

And lest I forget - A vibrant and successful Nintendo is good for everyone! The video gaming industry having all parties doing well is brilliant. Competition is good and when there are 3 combines all doing well it means everyone keeps upping their game and we, as gamers get better quality all round. And that is what it is all about and always has been.

@johnvboy Nintendo don’t need to compete directly. Both MS and Sony have both said they love Nintendo’s machine - they know it will be second console for many and the fact you can play titles on the go will sell. It still is selling.
All Nintendo need to do is keep things going, upgrade in the next year or so and still have the capability to run quality games. Nintendo will then keep winning their own race and be fine alongside the other two.
Switch was a turning point for Nintendo. They have found the market they needed after the U failure and now just need to keep it going and embrace it.

@TheNewButler People May change but the same games will be on both machines mostly except for the exclusives. Price will both be the same I suspect and with backward compatibility - X box’s looks to make sense whilst Sony’s sounds a bit of a mess and uncertain - being a big thing many will stick with the machine where they can keep their old games. As I said earlier, Financial Times are hard right now and people, unless they are well off just don’t have the type of disposable income they had before.

@TheNewButler X box fans will but the x box. PS fans will buy the PS5.

@TheNewButler Both presentations were duller than dull! Games and price sell. And price will be key.

Price will heavily influence the next generation. £500 is not going to be in many people’s budgets. Look at the current global situation. The economy is in trouble so this will be a slow burner. Also what is the main reason to upgrade this year? New games? That mainly will still release for a year on the current generation of consoles?
Just raw power isn’t justification to spend over £500.
As for the so called ‘reveals’ boy did they kill the hype train.

Switch will do fine as it is. Yes it will need an upgrade but as long as we get portable versions of too games as well as Nintendo quality it will be fine and dandy

Honestly the reaction to Corona Virus is so over the top and the media are just not helping.
What are we going to do in the UK when winter comes and the flu starts that is much more dangerous than covid-19???
Shutting down countries is ridiculously over the top.
As for E3 it’s time was up anyway. Outdated and best left to history.

It will be interesting to see how these new partnerships with Levi’s and Lego increase revenue for the big N. It could turn out, along with Nintendo World etc to be a very shrew way of getting extra income to put into its video gaming arm.
I think people often forget that Nintendo, compared to Sony and Microsoft have nothing to really fall back on. Sony and MS can have a bad console cycle and it not impact them massively - Sony has music, tv’s etc. MS it’s other computer stuff - multi billion pound businesses that absorb any losses.
Nintendo needed to get savvy and maybe now they have found a unique way to keep up.
