That actually quite good. We can expect smartphone games on it too!

Not undoable with buttons. Just assign each colum with a button. Be basically how you play guitar hero with a controller.

Clearly would not be as fun, but doable.  But i'm completely fine with a game like that being strickly tablet mode.

Does anyone still believe the switch is primarily a handheld first?

Not the thread I was talking about, but fine, if you're ready to go read posts from September 2015....

So, once again, please read the threads, it will be better.

The subject there was the micro-transactions being Pay To Win or not for the online multiplayer of The Last of Us. I said that the micro-transactions were here to pay for the developers managing the multiplayer after the release of the game, and that as a player I didn't find the micro-transactions to be Pay To Win.

And I took MK8 as another example of multiplayer mode evolving after release and selling those evolutions. (EDIT: Oh, I get it now! For you, saying "What Sony and Nintendo are both doing is perfectly fine" is being an anti-Nintendo hater because I dare put Nintendo together with Sony! Yeah, right, I'm the one not being objective here...)

My conclusion was this:

You're right, I'm a dangerous fanatic using "It would be better if it was free" and "I trust them, maybe I'll be wrong". 

You can continue like this, you're only showing that I'm the one here using pros and cons and nuancing my posts... But now, what does this have to do with anything about the Switch? Or are you just searching 1 and a half year old threads trying to find a "Ah, you were wrong back then!" moment as an argument to prove that I'm wrong now? (and wrong about what exactly?) That would be a great argument, for sure...

Could we get back on topic now?

I swear to god, I will flip out if Pokemon Switch is portable only. Please don't do this Nintendo.

I said that paid content for an online multiplayer (DLC or microtransactions) is perfectly fine because it pays the developers who keep working on the multiplayer after the release. So paid evolutions for a multiplayer are fine IMO, for Sony (TLOU) and for Nintendo (MK8), like I said in 2015.

And I said that a game's hard mode (if that's the only hard mode) and a map feature shouldn't be behind a pay wall. I still think so. A Nintendo fan told me that an extra difficulty mode for TLOU was behind a pay wall, which I didn't know (I only played in Normal and Hard mode), and my answer when I learned that was pretty clear: "that sucks". 

So, now, please explain to me how you can even imagine these 2 types of content as "being the same action". How weird, I said "it's fine" when Nintendo and Sony both did the same thing, and then "it sucks" when they both did the same other thing. "Double standard", right....If Zelda gets a multiplayer mode and microtransactions or expansion DLC for this multiplayer mode, I'll be fine with it just like I was with MK8. You can try to spin this anyway you want, it won't change what I really clearly wrote.

The misguided nature of this thread is what makes you fear that, but in reality this only means that games designed for tablets and mobiles that need touch controls can also be ported and played on the Switch as they were initially designed without the obligation to force it to work with normal controllers on a TV. So that means more games for Switch. Terrible I know :P

Yeah, this close to launch people just get carried away. But hey, it's normal, we both made it through a couple of console generations and people always freak out if the Nintendo console is actually good. God, I feel like a grandpa who has seen it all. :P

I think the base of all these disucssions is wrong to be honest. The Switch is not a Wii-level mass market product (yet) but it's much closer to the Wii than the Wii U and actually reminds me a lot of the early DS days. It's Nintendo moving upmarket with motion controls, it's a freaking portable Wii (without Wii Sports as of now). If people go nuts over it because they are not the target audience... well, whatever. I see it from a different perspective: I'm gonna be able to play games with my friends again after half a decade of having nowhere to go as a customer. Not just my gamer friends, but all of them! I love my PS4, Vita, 3DS and I even like my Wii U but there's something unique about gaming that was designed to bring people together. It's magical. It's freaking awesome and if Nintendo delivers I'm gonna be a happy customer.

Just wanted to put that out there, not necessarily as a reply to your post but more as a general statement because people seem to forget that it's not about CPU power or resolution or the best online service. Ultimately it's about the question if gaming as a medium seperates us from other people or brings us closer together. When I look at the Switch I see the console that has the most potential to deliver in this regard. 

I can see Game Freak making Pokémon portable-only  They always love saying that pokémon is a portable series first and foremost.

So games designed as mobile games are mobile-only Switch games? What an insane decision.
