UltimateGamer1982 on 31 December 2016

So more like wii/wii u type support again rather than PS4. That's fine. I just want Mario kart and the rest of Nintendo's ips.

I know this is going to sound like one of "those" posts but... I don't care. I'm so burnt out on the sameness of PS4 and Xbox One that losing their ports is welcome. If the Switch turns into another Nintendo-only console, I will be more than happy.

I agree, the funny thing is that alot of people who complain about Nintendo not having multiplats are people who already own a PS4 or XBO.

Yeah. I really wonder if those PS4/XONE owners would buy the Switch Version instead the of the other 2........... The only reason I can see them buying it is because of the portability....... But I dont think PS4/X1 owners are really into handhelds.........

I'm one of those PS4 owners, and the Switch isn't a handheld.............

Failed with Wii?

Anyway, why care? You game on PS platforms right? Why do you need ANOTHER platform that plays all the third party games you'll play on PS4 or PC? What harm is an underpowered Nintendo console doing to you?

This is a video gaming forum and regardless of what platform you own every system is of interest to everyone. Wheather he owns PS console or not doesnt matter. And everyone is participating.

Did I attempt anywhere in my replies to stifle his free speech? Everyone has every right to post whatever they want, regardless of what they own. And I have every right to question comments that don't make sense to me. 

That's how this works. The quote button is there for a reason.

I think it will be more like WiiU and 3DS support combined. Since there will no more duplicate games (like: MK7/MK8, 3DLand, 3D world, Super Smash) and how handheld and console exclusive games won't be exclusive to their platform (Pokemon, Yokai Watch, Splatoon). It may also have PSvita games coming but theres no proof of that too.

Why wouldn't they? You seem to have some pretty dumb assumptions

I've spoken with Eno_ before. He's a really good guy and very smart. I trust him and I know he is a expert at these things. He was employed a couple weeks ago and only just learned about being not being so this is got me in daze at the moment.

If you want some credentials, here is a article in his early works.

Because POWER IS EVERYTHING! Look how 2 or 3 of them bitched about Assassins Creed coming to the Switch.

That's it. Nintendo will not learn. Another failure is coming out. Sorry to say it guys, but I just don't see any reason to want this unless you are a Nintendo diehard.

They need to make a powerful next gen console that can handle modern ports and really good looking 3D Mario. Weaker than Xbox One when PS4 Pro is out and Scorpio is coming soon. That's ridiculous.

It might work in Japan, but everywhere else, it will bomb after initial release. It sounds like a slightly more powerful Wii U. If all of this is true, I will buy no Switch or future Nintendo products.
