Posted January 14, 2017 It's like any other nintendo product. If you've got the old one, you'll get the new one. If you've never owned one you just dont understand the people who buy nintendo so loyally, despite nintendo's business practices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 14, 2017 My last console was a PS2, so it probably doesn't mean much that I'm not getting one. It looks good in many ways though, but the tiny launch lineup could be a problem. And the controller weirdness might hold some buyers off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 14, 2017 i think it's an interesting concept at least, we'll see how well it works out. that said, i dont think i'll bother, there's just not enough nintendo titles / not enough change between iterations for me to care abot spending 300 buckaroo's every time a new one comes out. by far my favourite title is mario kart, but every time i play it on my wii i get the feeling that wins are more based on luck with items than actual skill, which doesnt really float my boat...

Posted January 14, 2017 I think it's exactly what nintendo needed. The pay for online is eh but as long as it's reasonably priced and done well I don't mind it, since they do have to pay for the online servers to run everything they want. The game line up is better than I expected, breath of the wild being a launch title was a very smart move along with having splatton 2 and mario be later in they year to keep the spirit alive and incentive to keep people playing. I honestly don't care about Specs since nintendos never been about specs they've been about trying to get innovative features and games out. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was confirmed to be running 1080p 60fps however so I presume it's got decent specs. Microsoft and Sony can keep competing for specs while nintendo gives us actual games.

Posted January 14, 2017 I will probably eventually buy one as I love the first party titles and own a wii u. I however, will probably wait at least a year that way there is a decent game library and hopefully by then there will either be a price drop or a good game bundled in with the system.

Posted January 14, 2017 Definitely not at launch but if the price drops and more games release I'm interested. It just fits a spot I've been trying to fill for a while.

If this sucker is successful I will happily buy one as my portable console of choice i've seen a 3DS once, and all i can say is... it's a motion sickness simulator, the 3D bit is really.. a gimmick that's not really worthy of the money compared to the 2DS. and last time i used my wii it was to power my rasperry pi media center.

A lot of people mocked the Wii-motes when they came out, but they were a great push forward in terms of moving around to play games. They had to keep it simple for those who didn't know how to play the games or what gestures to use, but it came off as a great innovation. The WiiU is one of the only console that you can take from the big screen to the bathroom (unless there's a WiiU in there) without having to pause the game. The 3DS and its 3D functionality performed well, but not great in the first iteration, and added a lot of depth to animations in the games that used the feature such as Fire Emblem: Awakening and Pokemon X/Y and ORAS. The New 3DS added front-facing tracking for better 3D support for those who get ill when the handheld is canted away from center.

Posted January 14, 2017 had a horrible experience with the Wii U so no, i dont want more nintendo stuff. i love my 3DS and i like the Wii but the Wii U was shit. No games for reaonable prices and a pain to use and play on. I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust... Builds: The Toaster Project! Northern Bee! The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0) Spoiler "Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. #1. Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place. Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier.
