That's quite allright. It's the same as the Wii U and the hardware looks a lot more advanced.
The real problem is the paying for online services.

Its 1/3rd - 1/4th the power of a Playstation 4.

You could get a PS4 for 212$ in 2016 during black friday.

299$ is overpriced.

No, it has to be far better than that. The Wii had free online services, and people called it crappy. It better be XBL levels of good, with all of your VC purchases able to transfer over and none of that rebuy your games BS.

They didnt mention that stuff at all.... why? because it wont.

Nintendo expect you to rebuy all the games, you already own, on your older systems again.

They didn't say a single thing about VC. The closest thing we got to VC talk were a few seconds of Street Fighter 2 in the reel at the end.

You're probably right though.

$299.99 is going to be a tough sell I think once the initial Zelda fans get theirs. I'm gettin' one, but yeah this thing definitely isn't cheap.

That was Street Fighter II HD I'm pretty sure, not a VC game.

Pro controller 70$

Joy con right + left = 80$
Joy wheel = 15$

 

HOLY FUCKING SHYT!

 

299$ + 70$(pro controller) = expensive.

Watch PS4 hit 199$ base price in 2017.

Nintendo are overpriceing things again.

So, I'm going to have to pay like $100CAD just to get a pro-controller? I feel like that's a must-have as the default doesn't look very comfortable.

It was Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix.

EDIT: Actually, scratch that, apparently it's called Ultra Street FIghter II:

Pretty bad price if you ask me.. $250 would be much more manageable but with paid online, this is pretty expensive

Why is the Pro Controller so expensive?!?! 70$??? seriously why



JRPGfan on 13 January 2017

The payed online...... is a app for your phone, you can use to compunicate with others? via your phone.

WTF!

Why doesnt the console itself do that? like every other console.

Online pay gives access to a free VC game each month.
