Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The many "mistakes" of the Nintendo Switch" article.

Now I don't want to provide clicks to bad articles, but I was curious to see your reactions to this article. 

http://powerupgaming.co.uk/2017/01/20/cataloguing-the-many-mistakes-of-the-nintendo-switch/

The author's complaints can be summarized as follows:

  • Zelda is archaic because it had a long development cycle and you could cook in Skyrim 5 years ago.
  • Holiday 2017 is too long to wait for Super Mario Odyssey because it's, apparently, the only other big First Party game for 2017 besides Zelda. I guess Arms, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Fire Emblem Warriors don't exist. I can see Xenoblade Chronicles 2 getting delayed though, but not the rest.
  • Arms is apparently just "motion control nonsense" despite the fact that it can be played with a traditional controller as well. 
  • The Switch is apparently artificially scarce despite the fact that Nintendo is shipping a similar amount of units compared to the PS4 and XBONE for the launch period. 
  • Third Party faith is lacking (which is true), but he claims Ubisoft is the most notable example of this lack of support, despite the fact that Ubisoft is releasing 3 games for the Switch this year. Capcom would have been a good example, but Ubisoft? And what about Level-5? They had several big hits on the 3DS, but they weren't even present at the conference.
  • He claims the online platform already seems ridiculous, despite the fact that we barely know anything about it. A lot of confusion and misinformation seems to be circulating on the internet, which is admittetly Nintendo's fault. Still, we need to wait before Nintendo has fully explained their online platform instead of bitching about unconfirmed information. 
  • He claims the Virtual Console will "not be available any time soon" because we have no concrete information about it yet. He even admits here that he has little-to-no experience with Nintendo games. 
  • Bitches that the console isn't ready because there are no trophies.

Why don't you actually post what the article says and let people judge for themselves?

I provided a link to the article and it's my thread and I do what I want? How about you don't post in this thread if you don't like the topic? And next time read it before you start posting, you wouldn't have missed the link to the article then.

just a guy full of uneducated opinions but guess what? he's Scott Russell, "reporter" at powerupgaming, a dead site that needs clicks and thanks to this thread he's going to have them.

seriously people, not every "editor" or "journalist" know what they are talking about and you should not be triggered by these opinion pieces. I read all the bullet points, that shit screams clickbait/hater

"Ubisoft is releasing 3 games this year for the switch"

Yeah and 2 of 3 are Just Dance 2017 and Rayman Legends.

The lack of 3rd party support is still available, the problem is that people doesn't want to see it.

Capcom is giving a remastered of a remastered with some improvements

I'll post where I want, how about that?  What are you going to do about it?  You gonna take your thread and go home?

I already read the article, which is why I posted.  I was just wondering why you didn't post any of his valid points.  Just seemed really odd.  Who knew you'd get pissy over a simple question?

Spamming is against the rules. I provided a link to the article, so I did post what the article said. Thus your post was useless, obnoxious and in a hostile tone. 

He didn't post any valid points, so I can't post them to begin with.

This Guy is Bad, you can easily find better négative than this , outside thé pooe Line UP, thé fact that you have to use à smartphone for online gaming is pretty dumb.

Hé could have also talked about thé paid online, à first on handheld sévices, for minimum services , like à game borrowed for a Month then taken back .

Or thé fact Zelda doesnt have dual audio.


For example

What about:

"The Use of a Mobile App for Online Functionality is Counter-Intuitive"

or

"We Still Have No Concrete Information About Much Sought-After Features"

You don't think those are valid?  Really?

Honestly, you're every bit as untrustworthy with the way you twist some things and omit others.
