NintenDomination! Your quest is over. We present you a new thread.

[Platina]

Okay time for my extended thoughts.. I know new games have been announced after the presentation, but I will only take into account what was shown

The bad
- First of all $300 USD / $400 CAD is really expensive.. a PS4 pro is $400 CAD and the slim is $350.. wayy too much for a handheld
- Battery life of 2.5 - 6 hours is awful, with wireless off probably will be about 3-4 hours but that is still pretty bad :/
- Paid Online: Noooooooooo
- Motion Controls: Nintendo really loves motion controls and still want to implement them as much as possible, they really aren't learning and this is really disappointing to see that they are investing even more into this rather than making the price optimal
- Rumble and IR sensor: Nice and all but I don't really care if I can feel 1 or 3 ice cubes in a cup, simple rumble is good enough. I can play Rock Paper Scissors with anyone, don't need a sensor to do that virtually, though the IR sensor could have some useful functionality so I will give it that
- 2 confirmed games at launch (more confirmed now) but 1,2 Switch and Zelda BotW is a really bad lineup.. what has the Wii U devs that were MIA been doing for the past 6 months? D:
- Lack of new games, we got Xenoblade 2 (which is awesome), SMT, FE Warriors, DQ Heroes 1+2, Octopath Traveler.. everything else was basically all but announced before and all of these games aren't launch titles

The so-so
- Fifa, Skyrim: nice to see western 3rd party but these were all shown before and no new western games were announced
- Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Great editions and improvements for both of these games but not launch titles really hurts the Switch
- Minecraft, Rayman, Sonic etc. all good games to have to boost library but personally am not too interested in those

The good
- New games: Yes, I listed this in the bad, but I'm pretty excited for some of these new games. Xenoblade 2 looks amazing and am really excited for DQ Heroes which previously was a PS4 exclusive. Mario Odyssey looks really good as well
- Screencapture: You don't know how long I have been waiting for this on Nintendo systems! The Miiverse screencap was severely limited and a hassle, sometimes not even functional for some games so this is really good news
- Region Free! YES, Nintendo learned something!
- Zelda BotW as launch, definitely really good news and can definitely move consoles

I think I'm missing stuff but this is all I can think of at the moment

Overall pretty bad presentation, but with my expectations really low, I wasn't disappointed

5.5/10
