plenty of pre-release discussion was about how the portability was overstated and people wouldn't be taking it to parties, etc. and that Nintendo was really trying to prove the "home console" part of it

Snipperclips is good. MK8D has good reviews. I haven't played Shovel Knight so I might pick that up.

Arms is next month. Splatoon is in July.

thats like the main reason anyone would want it

but i mean yea nintendo was trying to prove the home console part of it? I think its pretty clear youd have a hard time selling a 300$ handheld

yea because vita was a resounding success

also launch 3ds was even worse than vita in sales. They dropped the price like crazy, offered a bunch of rewards to the people who bought the launch and cut the price like crazy

I really like it! HD rumble does seemingly nothing in either game I have ( Mario kart, Shovel Knight)

Fun to hold, nice design. Battery actually works for me? Screen is gorgeous.

kickstand is not great. WiFi connection is by far the worst of all my tech.

Overall definitely like a lot though. I kinda see it as the Vita 2 + nintendo games

I've heard good things about the HD rumble, iirc there's a 1-2 Switch game where you hold the joycon sideways and tilt it and from the vibrations try to figure out how many marbles are in the "box", and it's good enough that it's actually feasible.

I have a hard time seeing how it will be used in a non-forced way (as I see little it can do to enhance regular gameplay), but then again it's Nintendo and if anyone can find a way, it's them

yeah ive heard 1-2 switch does a good job with that stuff

but its 50$ and yea right at buying that.

in my experience I can't even tell a slight difference. Could just be unoptimized games or something though

If you've seen it in action in 1-2 switch you realize the other games just aren't even using it.
Taking a break from the site.

This mario kart was a port, maybe the first game built for the Nintendo Switch could use it. Most of the games out for the system are ports of older games.




Also RadiantCowbells is amazing.

I don't really care too much about HD Rumble. I just want to play the system like normal.

True. I wish they wouldn't focus on that stuff if they don't intend to use it.

yeah i agree w/ hippy

ive been waiting for a good reason to get a second set of joycons but i cant justify it right now

im PRAYING that the Mario Party game inevitably coming out in 2018 for Switch justifies the niche features
