Buy me a Switch and I'll vote for her.

That was one of the most bizarre things with the Wii U was how it got ports of games that were plainly old news.  I mean, Skyrim is a fairly evergreen title and got a recent remaster but months late releases of Fifa and NBA2k are about as useless as it gets. 

That's good. Seems like most do agree that Conquest is better than Birthright. I'm getting close to finishing Revelations but haven't beaten it yet, though I daresay that I like Revelations the most out of the 3. It sort of takes the best of both worlds and also has some interesting maps. No ninja hell is a great plus :p

If you really liked BR and C I would recommend trying out the third route but if you're getting the Switch, maybe it's best to wait a bit..

I'm really excited for FE2 Echoes o:

So I know Rich of ReviewTech has a...mixed reputation here :P

But he finally posted his actual Switch presentation thoughts today (he did a live react thing), and I was surprised to see he had a lot positive to say and was overall positive on the Switch. Just interesting to see.

Also, FE direct was pretty cool, looking forward to seeing more of FE Warriors and also bet we'll see some in-game stuff from FE Switch at E3 after the launch window stuff has been allowed to shine and they have had more time in development.

Weirdly enough, it seems that FE Heroes(the mobile game), is after all launching at the same time as the android version.The source is in Nintendo of America twitter.

Why they got it wrong on the Direct or if the tweet is wrong, go figure.

So that Foxconn leak floating around is sounding fairly true.  But this all raises a question in my mind:  how do you guys thinik developers are going to approach this? 

I mean, there are three routes to take:

1) make the absolute best undocked version that runs perfectly and looks as good as possible and then when docked just up the resolution and add some image quality enhancements.

2) make the absolute best docked version that runs as you want and looks as good as possible and then just strip features and reduce settings until it runs well enough in undocked mode.

3) absolute parity so basically option 1 sans all the enhancements

I honestly expect we will see all 3 tried by devs.  I expect your home console centric devs will favor option 2 while handheld centric devs will go with 1 and 3.  Most indies will go with 1 because it is more cost effective than 2 but gives a more premium feel than 3.

Oh god lol! 

Yeah the Japanese devs we have seen especially I think.  I am willing to bet option 2 will be more popular in the west since they have no stake in the handheld business.  And option 3 will be most popular with either handheld only devs - Atlus's SMT franchise probably - or scumbags - Gearbox or Konami. 

I like watching him specifically because he rails on Nintendo a lot. It's good to get all perspectives!

Initially - many devs just target the HH spec and port 360/PS3/WiiU and even Vita and 3ds versions of games with minimal upgrades. There's close to no competition for Switch software, so it's a goldmine for publishers to get software out ASAP. This appears to be the route even Nintendo themselves is taking as much of their 1st year lineup frankly could have been technically possible on the WiiU.

The drawback here is that it may give people a false impression that the Switch is a lot less powerful than it really is.
