Why/why not?

Nope. I consider Mario 3 to still be the greatest Mario ever and it's 8-bit. Gameplay>everything else.

I'm not developing for it so nope. Past couple weeks had more fun playing a system with a 28MHZ CPU than I have with my PC.Wii U or PS4. Specs shmecs. Games man,show me the games. Most fun I had on a PS4 this year is a budget game in Assault Suit Leynos.

Seeing as it's portable, not really. If it was a regular console, them to a certain extent

Not really. Slightly more powerful than the WiiU is good enough for me. I'm more about the software and how good the graphics are in a game isn't what make a game great.

The Switch is more powerful than Nintendo's last home console, is portable and has games on cartridge. And it is a home console too. What's not to like?

To a certain extent, I'd like it to be better than the Wii U at least. I'm mostly looking forward to the incredible boost in graphics their handheld games like Animal Crossing, Pokémon, 2D Zelda (I can't see Nintendo abandoning 2D Zelda games) and Fire Emblem will get. :)

Sort of.Gameplay will always be king.But the games need to run on it, and run well.And well, I want third party again on a Nintendo console.But as long as it has enough power to that, Im good.I personally dont understand people that are drowling over PS4Pro and Scorpio.Sure, the game look pretier and it runs a bit better, but its the same game.Dont need to drop that huge amount of money for that.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

It is important to me that the system takes a step forward technically. It doesn't have to be much, but it needs to have more going for it than the Wii U.

Too much power can lead to dangerous things. Sony is the Trump of the gaming industry. Too powerful and morally despicable to uneducated white males. I want a gaming company to behave morally above others like the Pope and Mormons. With switch they do so by creating a family friendly environment where power comes from superior belief systems and not power that divides people like Mr. Trump. Nintendo is the true one that can make America great again.
