Its funny because me and bethesda are on one line with this :D I will buy the NX if its on par with the Xbox One, I will proberbly not buy it untill a pokémon game releases that convinces me at a low price point (under 200) if its slower then the Xbox One.

Lol, you guys...
Switch will not be as powerful as Xbox One and it will not receive any of bethesda's ambitious games. Remember even if the dock is somehow magical, Dev's still need to get their games working in portable mode.
The hybrid concept was never based around being on par with current systems or receiving their third party support.
PR talk, they were devolping Skyrim for Switch already in that time.

I disagree with that. I think it looked noticiably better than 3D World. Take a look (I know, off screen, low res, etc. but it gives you a good idea, plus even if you zoom in a lot you can notice bullet bill's and mario's models look much better than on 3D World for example):

It looks on par with Mario Kart & Nintendo Land. Nothing the Wii U can't pull off (maybe not at 1080p)

It's funny there is so much argument on Switch's power and Skyrim on Switch based on the reveal trailer alone. When there's already an experience Nintendo never delivers the things they show in reveal trailers * cough Zelda Wii U.
Very simple... if Switch is as powerful as XB1 (which seems to 1. make everyone happy 2. key for 3rd party support [ even though the world is actually moving on to ps4pro/scorpio/ps5 already]) then...
- Why didnt they announce the specs, why keep everyone guessing?
- Why isn't Mass Effect 4, Red Dead 2, Final Fantasy 15 announced for the Switch? Dragon Quest 11 was announced for the Switch. Quite obviously, Dragon Quest 11 is a less graphically demanding game.
- Skyrim isnt even confirmed on the Switch....
Last question, what happened to Switch being double the power of ps4? Anyone still believes that? Just shows how out of the world things get on here.
| mountaindewslave said: Skyrim is almost a 100% gurantee on the NX at this point. it would be marketing suicide for Bethesda to put it on an OPENING announcement system video in a ton of different spots. and I believe the NX is supposed to have power thats close to or around Xone / base PS4 notice though how basically no third party companies are openly announcing titles for the NX. Even those tha always support them. Pretty sure Nintendo told everyone to shut up about titles until January since that's when they said they'll be discussing more details |
It's not surprising game devs have kept specifics under wraps. If I can get cynical a bit here, the hype game is a matter of control of information, timing, and emotional manipulation. They want to be able to control when, where, and how they announce their games to maximize the impact of such. And they want that "WHAM" moment to happen after the Holidays, when the PS4 Pro and holiday sales have stopped and the Switch is literally all that people can focus on.

I don't even think it looks better, honestly. It looks exactly the same to me. Not that that matters. SM3DW is beautiful. The game very obviously taking level design inspiration straight from SM3DW, which is awesome because SM3DW and SM3DL are the first non-2D Mario games to get Mario's level design 100% perfect. They're pretty clearly linear, which I think is good because Mario games are supposed to be linear in level design. Zelda is where you're supposed to explore an open world, not Mario. Literally all I want from this game when it comes to level design is for it to be SM3DW with a fully controllable camera. Only then will it be the first truly faithful 3D Mario game. I'm totally down for fully explorable hub worlds, even going as far as to say that I'd want one for each of the 8+ worlds, but when it comes to actual levels, I want them to be linear as a mofo and focused purely on fun, straightforward, challenging, gimmicky platforming. No chasing penguins. No collecting hidden stars. Run and jump from Point A to Point B without dying and without unneccessary deviations or distractions. That's it. |
I can see the improvements, especially the lighting and effects have a marked improvement. Very similar art style though and I agree, 3D World is very pretty.
What I would love to see is levels that are open, but rather than just explorable levels like in Galaxy, have levels with multiple paths accessible via power ups you get that are non-contextual like in 3D World. THAT would be awesome. So instead of having a bee suit level and an ice power level, you have a path the Cat Suit can take you on, a path the Fire Flower can access, and so on. That would be awesome. Also, I don't mind the star finding in 3D World. I think they ballanced it really well so you didn't need too many to keep moving on and finding the minimum was pretty easy but finding the additionals was a real challenge.
People expecting a lot of western XB1/PS4 ports are going to be disappointed.
The NS has the right amount of power to run the same engines and tools with scaled down assets. If a 3rd party developer has the right project for it, then yes they might port it. I'm not expecting ports of story oriented and cinematic games to be ported, nor I'm expecting them to sell well in any case.

For now, the specs may still change due to NVidia possibly giving Nintendo a better deal, depending if they could manufacture a custom version of the newer Tegra insted of a custom version of the older one (which means power might still be in the air). That might cause 3rd parties to not confirm anything. That, and Nintendo forcing them to wait for something and not disclose which games are they working on. Skyrim will come to the Switch, it's on the trailer, but if Nintendo don't let them confirm it, they won't do it.
As for the Switch being twice the power of the PS4, well... People want it to be powerful :P
