So Nintendo fans agree with favorable reviews, and do not agree with one which do not.
Go figure.

But the guy in the review says "its not worth a impulse buy".

Thats not really a favorable stance.  DF is basically saying they dont think its worth buying yet.



Thanks for the headups.I was reading IGN comments and you just remembered that there might be an asshole who might spoil something.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

this is not a "favorable" review this is a review with all the information of the system, cons and pros. Best in terms of information.

"so nintendo fans agree with favorable reviews" just stop man, that shitty console war is disgusting.

^ this.

It wasnt really a favorable review.

They basically said "wait and see" "dont impulse buy it" in the video.

 

From the article:

"However, as a launch product, the £280/$300 price-point is a big ask compared to the competition, especially bearing in mind a launch title line-up based primarily on Wii U ports. There are also many extra costs too - a larger SD card is essential, the Pro controller is recommended for home use, and an external powerbank is worthwhile on the go. For now, what we have is a strong foundation to build on; it's pricy and not without fault, but we can't wait to see where Nintendo take the concept."

 

It was cool they did a thermal recording of the game console in idle (30 ish degree celcius) and upto 52-53 degrees while playing docked.

It didnt sound like noise was a big issue or anything either.

plus:

Dont sit more than 2m from your console.

If you dont plan on holding the joy-cons carefully and pointed forwards towards the console dock, without obstructions in the way.



From the few reviews I read today thw concensual conclusions where that it was a fast capable gaming device. It didn't appear much moRe powerful than a Wii U when undocked. The costs and the indirect costs for accessoires is a bit ugly. And from a few Dutch reviews said the joycons are rather small and a pro controller is very much recommended. Also build quality appears to be really neat. In general quite positive reviews.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Yeah, a reason to buy the Switch day one is TLOZ BOW, you know this is the game of the year, the generation , and probably the eon.

Yeah, console war shit is really getting super annoying.

Anyways, the review seems good. Nice, interesting tech, but with some drawbacks (battery, connectivity, price, and slim launch lineup).
