Paid online is shit, but that battery life is decent (read: turn down that brightness level tards).

What a shit launch slate of games. Nintendo has failed.

 

[Forest Dweller]

That Mario game just looks weird. It's like they can't figure out what they want to do.

 

[Perkel]

meh so far. Only Xenoblade Chronicles 2 seems interesting and new SMT.
XC2 not XCX2 mind you. ACE will be doing again soundtrack so all is well.

lol Skyrim :D Here is 5year old game for you.

Still if they will get MH i will need to buy it...

 

[Talby]

No new Metroid, no buy.

Care to share?

Pile of rubbish. Clearly haven't learned that people have moved on from gimmick controls. Whoever thought a real world hub for Mario clearly needs to be moved on and Zelda is the only launch game available (aside from gimmicks). If this flops at least there's the prospect of getting these games on PC one day.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Welp. New SMT pretty much guarantees that I'm getting the console, then again, the fact that this is replacing the 3DS meant that I was getting it anyway. I'm excited that they are FINALLY localizing DQ10. A new No More Heroes is neat and Octopath Traveler seems kinda cool; SNES graphics and it's a supposedly open ended jRPG, so maybe it'll be a bit like the Saga series? That's actually.. a really good line up for a new console. Certainly the best one I've seen since, well, maybe ever? Price isn't too bad either, even better when you take into account that you don't need to buy a home console and a handheld device separately this time. Paid online is the worst thing here, but I was kinda afraid that it was coming. I just hope I don't need to pay for the paid online and then pay a sub fee for DQ10, which is an MMO.

Just watched Zelda Trailer.

Am i the only one who thinks this is direct sequel to Ocarina of Time ? I recently played first time OoT on 3DS and i actually liked it (always hated 2d ones). Either way if MH will come out for this then i will probably get new zelda too.

So games to play so far:
- new zelda (march3)
- xenoblade chronicles 2 (TBA)
- new SMT (TBA ~2019-2020)
- no more heroes 3 (2020 ?)
- potentially monster hunter but not announced. (2017 gen, 2018 new one... )

300$ will translate to something like 1200zl+ in poland so it will be expensive and probably shops will kill it in 2-3 months.

I hate to be that guys (I'm usually not) but Japanese subtitles are better. English are decent tho.


Why isn't this a launch title? #NITENDO DURRETARD


I actually find this interesting.


Super Mario Eating Tacos. Multiculti. Will probably be AAA gameplay wise and have a bunch of AA on teh buildings.


You can ride a cat furry. I'm sold.

 

[CyberWhale]

Will be interesting to see if it will bring back casuals. Should be FREE IMO.


2D cash grab.


New Super Bomberman. Guess it will have some Indie titles?


Where are all those blobber fans?

ZZZZEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA CCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Welp. New SMT pretty much guarantees that I'm getting the console,

They never even hinted at it being exclusive.

Fuck, with Unreal Engine it could get a PC release. Same with DQX which is out on PC in moonland and will be brought over too (unless NoA does the translation, then you don't want it period)

 

[Fin]

Will pass on fire emblem dynasty warriors thingy, also was that romance of the 3 kingdom shown after thst dancing game?

 

[Hobo Elf]

Keep dreaming. Also mainline SMT has been Nintendo exclusive for a long time now. The only thing that gets released on the Sony is Persona.

 

[CyberWhale]

The main problem is the price IMO. 300 dorarus would be okay if it was on par with XBONE, but having this kind of crap hardware it should have been priced at $199.
Bundle with Zelda and a Pro Controller is worth that price, but console only? No way in hell.
Plus completely free online is the only way to go.

 

[Somberlain]

Looks like others do what Nintendon't.

They'd have said exclusive 20 times then.

They haven't even said what the actual title is, so what? Besides, Atlus is known for making exclusives. The only time a game hasn't been exclusive is when it got a remake.

 

[Soulcucker]

No Metroid no buy.

 

[Rahdulan]

Fire Emblem Musou?

Shame you'd have to pay me to buy a Nintendo console with their prices, shitting on EU territories and now with paid online. Looking forward to emulation or piracy one day.
