If you're looking for "AAA" games and glossy graphics, why care about Switch in the first place? Honestly, I think it's much more important for Nintendo to sell a cheap system with a lot of accessible games than it is to sell a powerful system and try to recruit big-name third parties. So this makes sense to me. The hardcore gamers will balk, but who cares. I doubt they were interested to begin with. Reminds me of one of the comments in the NES Classic thread: "I wasn't planning on getting one but this would be enough to put me off doing so." |
It would just be nice to see a LoZ, or Xenoblade, or even a Metroid use graphics that are last gen, not technically two gens behind it. It would be VERY possible to see a home console now at a very cheap price point (hell, even xbone and ps4 Vanille edition are going to be $200 very shortly).
And then knowing for 5 years this is going to be a thing. 5 more years and I have to pay more money to get games I'd rather not pay for hardware for, and get basically the same experience as what I have now (actually less if you consider I could be playing these games with dual screens which while some were a disaster others were very well done).
