Yeah that's gotta be it. The Wii U is priced at ca 10 sek per usd. Maybe we'll see 3490, or 2990 if miracles actually happen. In any case this thing looks pretty nice. Gut feeling says it'll do significantly better than the Wii U. | ||

The pokemon Company has confirmed they are working on a switch game, could be the rumoured pokemon star (which if it is, then it's coming out this year too) or another one. Sincé they are merging the production of the handheld and home consoles the is no doubt the next gen pokemon game will be sold in this system. Idk, but it seems good to me. It will be like buying a WiiU and getting a 3ds for free. | ||

Zelda looks incredible, but it doesn't make me want to buy Switch solely for it at launch. Especially if I had Wii-U. Games that they showed that are coming in the future looked great, so i'll happily wait. Yeah I own a Wii U, and I actually love playing on the Gamepad, so I'm buying the new zelda for Wii U. I can probably pitch the switch as a christmas present next year, then I just have to pay for the new games. A strategy has formed. | ||

If it works well, it'll supplant the DS-line of handheld systems. If not, they'll go with plan B of making a new DS system. Partially. The more I'm seeing & thinking about Nintendo's approach to the Switch, the more I think they've hit the right spots. When it comes to Consoles, they're the party/family platform and they aren't competing for the yearly CoD release. And they haven't been since they sort of messed up the GameCube. We saw the result of that with the Wii vs WiiU. The Wii was one of the greatest gimmicks in Human History. (Especially when you add in the WiiFit.) The WiiU ended up being utterly dead in the water the instant it launched as Nintendo was actually just cutting into their own market. Oh, and a lot of people still just think the WiiU is the extra controller and not a console. The Switch, rather than being a new console, is being clearly situated as an advanced Handheld. The brilliance of that is the computing power is now there so it sit between a console & a handheld. The next generation of the Switch should make this "play" pay off handsomely. Especially when you think about Nintendo's game library. Nintendo sells their first-party games on story, mechanics and general enjoyment. They've not even attempted to "have it play Crysis" for over a decade, so no one is really buying their consoles to do that. But you can put roughly a better than WiiU experience for compute capacity into the device that's much smaller. Add in that it's also a ARM-based architecture, it means they can bridge the DS games over, fundamentally linking their Handheld & "Console" platforms together. This will be a much better strategy going forward, as it let's them leverage what Nintendo is best at (making handheld & low-graphics games) while still hitting the second biggest market segment. This is still a risk for Nintendo, but once you've got, say, Mario Kart available, it'll make a lot more sense. Especially now that there are projectors everywhere. Though they really need a new F-Zero to really cement that. | ||

Theres never something expensive, just something without enough marketing to make people justify said price. Price is just relative to the necessity of said product, if nintendo generates demand through marketing people will buy it no doubt | ||

Because Nintendo develops most of its flagship titles in-house, the fate of the console isn't determined at launch like other consoles that rely on 3rd party developers to build their game libraries. It's perfectly reasonable to wait for the console's game library to slowly build up as Nintendo releases flagship titles and the console slowly receives price cuts as it gets older. | ||

1. Its a homeconsole, right? 2. The console will not have a super high disturbance sound. Like the ps4(fu ps4) So zelda is a nice game, hopefully it can deliver. A nice buy imo. But also mario kart in april? A new one. Really liked mario kart 64(its the best by far imo), it was fun to try and master the skill in just driving. Also i saw a new bomberman. Now i dont have high hopes at all from that game, but you never know, maybe it delivers. Hmm ofcourse iam expecting good singleplayer games in the future such as rpgs and stuff. I want to mainly play single player games on the console. Iam not to fond of ps4 actually, i dont think the console delivers on the games at all there. | ||

Which is actually a good idea, since Nintendo always seems to have supply-crunch issues at launch. | ||
