My rating: 6/10
My pros: -XENOBLADE 2 FUCK YES!!! -Splatoon 2 -The new Mario looks very fresh and nothing like 3D World. -Pretty good list of RPGs. -Badass Zelda trailer. LAUNCH!
My cons: -Very boring show for the first 20 minutes. -Meh battery. -Pretty meh launch games. (Zelda being the OBVIOUS exception.) -$300 (everyone was saying $250, not a bad price, but probably won't get it at launch) -Mario isn't until Holiday. |
I agree with you mostly (especially with the lack of launch titles). However I will point out that as far as I could tell (besides the motion gimmick couples of games), the only officially announced launch game at the event was Zelda. So 'games' at the moment is not accurate, as Zelda was the only confirmed March 3rd thing.
also the price I don't necessarily think is that bad IF (again, emphasize IF) it ends up meaning the Switch actually is fairly competitive graphically. I mean its a handheld, so I don't expect XOne/PS4 matching, but if its quite good handheld level specs
also the battery is speculative. They safely said depending on game the battery can last 2-1/2 hours to 6 hours. So it could possibly be like a 4 hour average, which isn't bad at all IMO.
100% agree Mario was concerning though. They could have had a blockbuster reception if they had simply had an announcement of 'The Switch will release with both Zelda AND Mario" or "Zelda AND a few beloved other returning franchies (F Zero? Animal Crossing?).
I don't understand what they have been doing the last year or two when not working on the Wii U, you would think they would have loads of Switch software projects in developement for release at launch or in 2017. I mean they abandoned the Wii U and Nintendo is a big company. Its just bizarre
