I'm supposed to be impressed by a bunch of braindead enemies thrown on screen? The Dynasty Warriors are some of the worst, cheap and bland games I ever had the displeasure of playing. I have no idea why people keep buying them, every single year. They're hardly sophisticated... I guess it's just the famous third party brands that sell the franchise nowadays. I didn't even bother with Hyrule Warriors, and I'm a pretty big Zelda fan. I'm curious to see how Fire Emblem Warriors will end up looking though, compared to Dragon Quest Heroes. 

So you don't know the requirements for such games. That clears things up.

One point that onion makes really makes all the other opinions kind of worthless. If people expect devices that are even mildly powerful and are handhelds in nature...to cost the same or less than more powerful stationary hardware...they're insane.

That being said, Switch could have been $250...if Nintendo didn't put so much effort into the Joycons and dock... :(

Copypasting enemies and allies that don't do much is probably not very hard. The AI in racing games is more sophisticated then that. Although Fast Racing Neo is infamous for rubberbanding AI, so it doesn't get a pass from me in that regard either. 

I dont think the post-launch drop for Switch will be as bad as Wii U for a few reasons.

1. I believe the concept will be far more intriguing for the average consumer.

2. Assuming that no delays happen (i know, its a big if) Switch has a solid lineup of post-launch, 1st party content. Zelda in early March, followed by Mario Kart in late April, ARMS in Spring (May/June) & Splatoon in Summer (late June-August). So a new 1st party title every 1.5-2 months. Then the Fall/Holiday lineup of FE Warriors, 3D Mario, Xenoblade 2 (i have a feeling this one will be delayed) and probably 1-2 more unannounced titles will give it a pretty steady stream of Nintendo IP this year.

3. The third party content seems to be the type of games that the Nintendo audience is more receptive of. Small-medium sized indie, Japanese & kid/family titles have done pretty well on 3DS/Wii U and Switch seems to be getting pretty solid support from these types of games while Wii U initially had a strong focus on recieving ports of mainstream western titles.

So while I don't necessarily think Switch will initially light the world on fire, i think its post launch sales will be much higher than Wii U and 3DS for that matter.

100% not the case. It's a plus internally. When you push down one portion of the d-pad the other partions move with it. It's one large button with four contact points that appears separated as it comes through the shell.

When was the last time a home console had a cheaper launch price than the Switch has?

The day Nintendo stops delaying games is the day Satan drives a snow plough to work. XD

As for third party, even Wii U and Vita had indie support, it's hardly a selling point.

The AI is only one aspect of the game. This isn't the only thing that strains the hardware. Far from it. Racing games can look as good as they do because they are very linear in nature. If GTAV could look like Uncharted 4, for example, you bet R* would have made it happen. But the open world nature of the game means the developers had to optimize and prioritize things differently. Every game comes with its share of requirements unique to its type. 

yep he explained that to me earlier.

but one thing im curious about is have we gotten confirmation that they are 4 seperate buttons on the Joy-Con? i havent heard.
