That Nintendo, Big N, Ninty, Wii U & 3DS thread (R.I.P. Wii U)

[Karl.]

Did they say much about improving the online community? I'm guessing all the good shit will be developed for an autumn launch when they start charging.

Overall presentation was pretty bad, but that Zelda trailer was one of the all time best gaming trailers ever. Mario looks amazing. Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2. Good stuff.

It shouldve been $250 though, and the launch lineup is abysmal. No reason to buy at launch if you have a Wii U.

Planned for fall 2017

- Online lobby and voice chat

- Our new dedicated smart device app will connect to Nintendo Switch and let you invite friends to play online, set play appointments, and chat with friends during online matches in compatible games─all from your smart device.

A free, limited version of this app will be available for download in summer 2017.

WTF? I guess this is cool for portable mode, really smart actually...but surely this functionality is built natively into the system's UI when home?

Yea ill be picking one of these up in like 2019, 80 for a controller LMFAO, Im getting a second hand console and peripherals.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

I read they're gonna make some of their NES and SNES titles online

Just preordered through Amazon, which is the only way I was gonna buy it at launch. 5% off the console and $20% off Zelda w/ Amazon Prime Credit Card, plus I have some rewards points saved up.

I saw PS4 Slim and XBO S going for $265 - $270 w/ Uncharted 4 and Gears 4 or Battlefield 1 bundled in :/

It really is overpriced. Should've only been $299 w/ Zelda bundled, $250 base.

And it will be the same price then. Through everything, they never dropped the price of the Wii U. Blows my mind.

This shit is bad man. Real bad. No jokes. They still pushing motion controllers with the joy con and they showed a bunch of gimmicky Wii like games and it costs $299 and has paid online. Damn they don't want no success. They not even showing gameplay just scripted trailers played in prerecorded videos. This Japanese nigga was talking about shaking ice in a glass while demonstrating the rumble feature. Yo.

Yeah they need to leave motion shit alone, #NoRegionLock

Mario Odyssey

i'm not hating but this is a small critique. it looks like Nintendo partnered up with Disney on this. all the bright colors and cutesy characters it looks like something out of wreck it ralph. the Zelda trailer looks fire.

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Not a first day cop. Nintendo trying to be like Sony and Microsoft without the support and clout in that area

 

[Paprika]

Their online infrastructure is going to be dirt, imagine paying for that.

And look at this trash.

 

[Karl.]

That's wack as hell.

Just watched the conference. It was horrible. Almost as bad as the Xbox One reveal.

 

[Karl.]

The show was terribly translated. It was hilariously bad at times.

They should've done it in the US since the western market is the most important one.

Craigslist, the pawn shop, refurbished from Nintendo most likely the former though.

 

[Paprika]

Honestly if you have a Wii U just stick with it until late August. That Zelda game comes out at the end of March for it.

To use voice chat you have to download their app at an unspecified price. Disgraceful.

 

[i ro ny]

Thought I was gonna cop on launch day.....looks like I'll be waiting until this time next year. Smh.

 

[Paprika]

That's wack as hell.

Just watched the conference. It was horrible. Almost as bad as the Xbox One reveal.

I saw the YouTube feed when the dude from Suda 51 jumped on stage and ditched the script. Lol the translator was shook. Commenters were like "Switch him out." And "Lets switch to another translator."

By the way their catalogue of GBA, SNES, NES games are so slow to be released I'll be shocked if the current ones are available to The Switch.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Ah Nintendo. You were perfect up to now.

50 too expensive. Weak launch line up. No Mario (looks like it could be one of the best man his movement looks amazin') til Christmas. Joy-Cons are too pricey and God damn at the Pro Controller.

I'm still gonna kop but I'm not so sure on launch any more. Zelda looks fire tho' can't lie fuck and I read you can go right to the final boss from the start of the game if you wanted. That's MAD.

 

[brown321]

will get because it's Nintendo, but these niggas are bullshitting. Only games worth getting the first few months are on the Wii U. High price, charging for online. This is a rush job just like the Wii U. Should have come out in the fall
