Forums - Nintendo - Hands on Switch Impressions; A Total 180 of the Presentation - KindaFunnyGames

I expected a turnaround from the presentation reaction. Wasn't a suprise to me.



Around the Network

To summarize the highlight the points of what has been said:

1:13 - Starts to talk about the Switch

2:01 - Says the Nintendo Switch event was a total 180 from the presentation; Explains the key differences that made the event much better.

 

3:48: Did NOT play the following:

- 1,2 Switch: Wanted to play it. Had one of the biggest lines. Regrets not playing because people around him reall championed the HD Rumble. States that people who have played it seemed to really like it. Admits he wrote it off mainly because he didn't get play it. States that it really differs from Wii  Sports because it has more of a Cards Against Humanity party feel over the Wii Sports family fun time feel

Has been Heroes: Looks like a Vita game 

-Disgaea 5: No much interest

- Just Dance 2017: Generic Just Dance dance girl booth

- Skylanders: Imaginators: No Interest;


8:44: Played the following

-ARMS: Super good. Can't see this as a system seller. Motion controls felt amazing. Very precise Has a Splatoon/Overwatch and impression for him

-BotW: Fantastic. Looks and feels special. Knows the difference between to 2 version, but didn't see it. Controls feel glaringly clunky, like TLG. Minor  issue

-Splatoon 2: Looks great. Not a fan of the franchise though.

-SnipperClips: Sleeper hit of the event. Really wants to do a longplay of the game.

-Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Loves the battle mode. Forced to play with a single Joycon, and it was horrible experience. Couldn't hurt his positive  impressions.

-Fast RMX: Super happy its getting a second life on the Switch because it deserves it

-Super Bomberman R: One of the better experiences. 

-PuyoPuyo Tetris: Super fun game

-Sonic Mania: Forced to play with a single Joycon; Co-op seems tacked on

-USFII: Not satisfied. Only 2 new characters, looks like HD remix. Likes the Co-op concept

 

29:15: Talks about Hardware.

- Joycons: really as tiny as they look, but suprisingly comfortable. Doesn't like the small buttons or change in Dpad. Don't like signle Joycon play

-With Grip: As good as Pro controller except for Joycon Issues

-Motion Controls: Crisp

- Wiimote Nunchuck style: Fantstic. Next step to wireless controllers. 

Handheld Mode: Everything he wants it to be EXCEPT for the Joycon issues

Motion Controls: best he ever experienced

-HD Rumble: Unsure how to feel. Didn;t notice it much on the Pro Controller

-Pro Controller: Likes it, but the weakest of all current controllers on the market. Not by much. Very solid controller. Not worth the price.




Wouldnt call it a 180, however he seems more positive about it now.



I'll have to watch the video later, but it looks like there was a lot of positives to talk about at least!



Clunky controls like TLG in Zelda sounds bad.

He states its a total 180. I'm not just throwing it out there. But yeah it looks like he still has minor issues here and there



Yeah, Tim has been talking about his experience with the Switch in bits and pieces since the event. He said that it has some major pluses, and a bunch of minor issues.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Why does the 'hardcore' always have to parade their 'i hate motion control' badge?

Do they lose gamer points or something if they don't?

Of the young and old teens that I know, they all have fond memories of Wii and motion control. Grown adults telling teens what is and isn't fun/cool is hilarious to me.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Was surprised i heard that, cause this is the first time I have heard anyone in the thousands of gameplay hours of this game say the controls are clunky. I mean people have had hands on tiem with this game since E3 last year and there are a ton of gameplay vids of people playing online. Yet none mentino anything about bad controls ever.

And to compare it to the last guardian, which you can't watch a video without the person bringing up the bad controls.

It's strange to hear the first criticism for teh games controls, to be compared to probably the most clunky AAA game in recent memory.
