Really... that's why you would sell your Switch ? Not because of Nintendo's ridiculous prices or the fact that there's been barely any improvement to the system at all since launch.

How bout the fact that there is barely any new games ? This is the most ridiculous thing, as a Switch owner i'm so frustrated with lack of games and announcments ! Where is the new Zelda and Mario games ?? where is Mario and Zelda collections ? Where is Bayonetta 3 and many others ?? AND GODDAMNINT don't you dare mention Animal Crossing to me!! the last big BIG game was Super Smash.. and the last new game that interested me was Luigi's Mansion, so i said to myself i will not hesitate for a second to sell this useless console for a PS5.

The PS4 has been absolutely slaying this year!! And after all those exclusives and third party games and Ghost of Tsushima i look at my switch and say: Why the hell does this stupid thing continue to sell so well ? F this i deserve better, i invested so much into this thing ! WE all deserve better as switch owners.

Look i love Switch and Nintendo games (except BS like Pokemon and Animal Crossing) but i'm sick of this half assing and this flimsy console, i hope Ninty get's of their lazy ass and do something cause the PS5 is right around the corner and things are looking phenomenal for it. My dream would be Mario collection.. 64,Sunshine,Galaxy games in 1080p 60 fps ahh.. that alone would make me keep my switch forever or buy it again if i have to.

COME ON NINTENDO WAKE UP!!

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Link's Awakening isn't a year old, BoTW2 has been announced and didn't we just get Paper Mario?

Mario 64 in 1080p/60fps? Why?

Sorry i'm just so frustrated with Nintendo lately. 

Mario 64 in 1080p 60fps .. why not ? Also i mostly want Galaxy games and Sunshine in 1080p 60fps that would be so amazing.

I don't understand your point. You criticize Nintendo laziness (which is fine) but then you want them to make ports of old games to "keep your interest in Switch"

Isn't this the most lazy thing they can do? Milk their fans with old ass games sold at full price instead of spending resources making great new games? Indeed they are doing exactly this with Pikimin 3, Xenoblade Chronicles, and you want them to do MORE of this? How come? 

I'm pretty sure everyone would love a Mario and Zelda collections that's the only remaster i want from them. Simple answer to your question is ... Mario games are one of my favourite games ever and i would love to have them for switch it would be such a killer thing to have. 

Bottom line is .. i just want some games for my Switch so i don't end up selling it. Hoping for a massive Direct soon, it's no secret that the fans are also frustrated at the moment with Ninty.

But... if you click on the page the game tells you exactly what it supports. 

Yes, and I always do more than make a cursory glance when purchasing, but the Online Compatibile lable that proceeds that page could give a customer the wrong impression.

Online compatibile, to most people, does not mean cloud saves. If one were having a casual conversation with a friend about a game, and the friend mentioned as part of the description that it was online compatibile, they would probably wouldn't think the friend meant it was capable of being patched to fix bugs and nothing else. In fact, if he did frame things in such a way, you may look at him funny. That's just expected. Industry standard. All games do it. Why would you even mention that it's "online compatibile" when it's online functionality is so inconsequential? Not unlike cloud saves. Why lable it like that at all? Keep it as part of the product description, but don't put it out front.  It doesn't seem to be the way MS does things. It certainly isn't this way with PS. I guess all my PS4 games are "online compatibile" by this standard.

Speaking of which, and just as an aside, I find it amusing that this filter produces results that total 3696 games, which is basically the entire Switch library. So why even bother with the distinction?

"Online features require an account and are subject to terms of service and applicable privacy policy (playstationnetwork.com/terms-of-service & playstationnetwork.com/privacy-policy)"

That's from the PS4 store's page for FFVII Remake. So, yeah, it's kind of like that.

If you use the online enabled filter, it does say 3,696 results, which should have been a red flag that not every game in that list meant online multiplayer. If you click on New Super Mario Bros, which you would have to do if you wanted to buy the game through the website, you will see a very clearly labeled box on the bottom of the screen which has, in red and white so it stands on, the particular online features. This isn't really "putting it out front".

On the Switch e-shop itself (at least the US version) there is a section specifically for online multiplayer games, which does not include NSMBU. And the e-shop page makes no mention of online features except for cloud backup.

The website may be poorly designed in that aspect, but if the OP's account is accurate, then he chose the most bizarre way possible to check if the game had multiplayer, and even then scrolling down on the page would have solved the problem. Nothing Nintendo's doing here is deceptive.

...so laziness is not your really concern here, agreed? You want to fulfill your nostalgia. That's completely fine, but you're lacking to see that every fan of Nintendo IP has a different nostalgia for different games, that's why they keep remastering/remaking old stuff. Right now Pokemon fans are raging over the (lack of) new Diamond/Pearl remake. And I'm sure it would sell much more than Mario and Zelda collections, but you don't like Pokemon so you don't mind Nintendo to not release a 4th gen Pokemon remake

Yes it is.. it's particularly evident this year with the lack of announcments i mean we are already past half way point in the year and they still have nothing for the fall and the holidays and barely had anything thus far except AC and XC remake.

Okay geez man then let's forget about the remasters everyone wants how bout just some new games.. Odyssey 2 ? BOTW 2 ? Bayonetta 3,Mario Kart 9, a new DK game, a new IP, an update on the new Metroid Prime game ? Something ? anything to keep me invested in the console and make me hold on to it and not replay the original Odyssey and Botw for the fifth time.

Yeah I'd be pretty embarrassed too. There's no way I'd want people knowing I chose a Switch Lite instead of the real one. Is there a shell/skin available to make it look like a proper Switch?

No idea. Just waiting for the supposed update to come. They said "Later this year" but that hasn't happened, yet. Considering how many games I used to buy on a regular basis, maybe I should be thanking them for all of the money they saved me!

I still wanna play Xenoblade, though. 

I'm only teasing. Sounds like you and Nintendo are the best parents a kid could ask for (if you ignore saves).

I expected better from the unifying of Nintendo's software but my disappointment might be because games aren't announced 2 years in advance.

i prefer that they surprise/stealth drop with 0-2 months notice.

No matter what Nintendo does for the rest of the year, they aren't gonna steal mindshare from MS and Sony. I personally hoped they'd go full throttle against the 4K twins like they did with Wii but I have to admit that it's better for them to go for the core-core-Nintendo (Pikmin + paper mario) and casualz (Ring Fit + Animal Crossing) instead of trying to appeal to the core. Add Covid in and even if they wanted to go full speed, they probably couldn't.

I don't think the Halo delay is bad as some think. It would be best if XB had a backup for launch but I never saw an outcome where MS was gonna pick up momentum in the early stages. Halo and Nintendo's first party should be ready to go when the initial new console buzz wears off. 1st years are nearly always shit so the best time to take advantage isn't at launch but after the launch hype.

Nintendo can afford to take a 'core' year off and I don't mind so long as they unload when PS5/XSX hit their lull. Switch Sports, MK9, Pokemon and NewNSMB for the casuals and Metroid, BoTW2 and FZero (MK8 has created F-Zero fans who have never played F-Zero) for the core over an 18 month period.

This may become a thread I bookmark to visit years from now haha. A three way battle between people having unrealistic expectations for Nintendo, people arguing that those people are unintelligent, and others arguing with each other about whether or not this is a flame war going on, all accompanied by more perma bans per page than I've ever seen on a thread on this site.



Well that was disappointing. Theyre are some pretty valid reasons to nix a switch, but that was bot one of them. Heck uda been better off taking aim at digital practices in general. Had u gone physical u couldve at least sold it on ebay. But instead u (and alot of ) paid the same price for something w inherently less value.

Yeah man Nintendo are brutal. Don't ever buy digital from them unless it's only a few dollars. Sony is the same from my experience. The Sony guy laughed at me though, at least Nintendo have never done that.

So never buy digital from them.
