It wouldn't.

Thia confirms that ill be waiting for a price cut.

Yeah, that could hold potential.The hardcore fans would go crazy for some Goldeney and Smash meelee multiplayer online.

None need it but its a nice little bonus, F-Zero, Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Balloon Fight, etc. A bunch of multiplayer NES/SNES could incorporate online play.

And ya im sure they will expand on the service in time.

If your planning on buying it sooner or later, just buy now I figure.

What you wait a year and you can save $50? $50 is nothing. That's like 2 hours of work, more or less depending on your salary. Regardless, it is less than 1 day of work. Or heck one day home from the bars.

And you get to play stuff right away, not a year later, when you may have been spoiled by someone or youtube videos or whatever.

I can understand if your iffy on something, but if you know you will get it sooner or later. $50 savings is not worth a year wait, imo.

That $95 cost is surely a croc of sh*t, why on earth would a developer being given extremely classified information from Nintendo about production costs. The $95 value is probably from one of those ridiculous sites that calculates manufacturing costs from retail prices. The resistance screen in the gamepad is the same resolution as you get in those cheap digital picture frames and even when the wii u came out you could obtain complete android tablets with higher resolution capacitance screens for something like $30 retail. This information is meant to manipulate the end consumer's perceived value so you think you are getting a good deal. Can you imagine how much something like the ps4 or xbone would cost going by these costings, it would be like $1200 each with the same fantasy pricing. 

Remember Foxconn are pretty cheap and efficient manufacturers which is why they get so much work from so many companies from low end products to high end. How on earth a gamepad like that could cost $95 is ridiculous, the screen is probably $4, the low end battery $1-2, analogue sticks probably <$1. There isn't much of worth on the circuit board apart from a wifi type chip and low spec arm cpu. The plastic case <$2. Where exactly is this $95 going. The didn't even put analogue shoulder buttons on it, such was the cost cutting.

The Wii U was sold at a loss with a price tag of the PS4/Xbox One. That Gamepad is really expensive

Gyroscope for gyro-aiming? I need that sweet Splatoon gyro-aiming.

Interesting info. Some parts feel fake so not sure if this is a real developer or someone making stuff up.

- Comparing Joy controllers to Vive controller seems like a gross over simplificaiton.
- Requiring a lot of tech in the dock to switch to HDMI sounds like incredibly stupid engineering if true.
- Detailed info about costs is something developers wold not get, and devs would be under NDA for sure.  Talking about that on a podcast if she actually had the information is hard to believe.

Let's see how this keeps up: I swear every moment the Happy/Grouch levels swap.
