Ah, shit, I cut out a part about stars at the end that makes the beginning sound really weird. Basically, to me the 5-star scale is similar in my head to the “top half” 10-point scale. The reason is because many 4-star scales in movies and literature use 1-star to mean “mediocre”. Their lowest score is the midpoint, essentially.

I think Nintendo has lost their touch lately. They’re terrible at marketing their products, they seem woefully behind on certain industry trends and standards, plus their launch lineup is pitiful. 4 games only? Really, Nintendo?

The presentation was shit.

I don’t know about the Switch, honestly. It looks like a great concept, but some choices are confusing. I can deal with it being 300 bucks, but their decision to make a paid subscription plan for their online seems weird, especially when the online for the Wii and Wii U weren’t exactly bursting with life. Sure, there’s that whole free NES/SNES…[Read more]

I think you’re right on the price of the bundle with a game. LKD suggested the pack-in would be Splatoon, but I can see them having multiple SKU’s with different pack-in games, why not have a Splatoon Bundle, MK8 Bundle, a Smash Bros Bundle, AND an Zelda Bundle all on Day 1? They would sell a ton.

I’m predicting $300 for Console+JoyCons+Toaster, charge cable, HDMI cable and a bundled game (MK8+). And I too believe the toaster will be sold separately, except for somewhere around $59-69 with its own charger and HDMI cable.

The charge cable AFAICT will work on both the console itself and through the toaster, just like the 3DS does it with…[Read more]

I was following Emily Rogers, Tom Phillips, LKD and a few others. Tom has the credibility since he works for a bigger and still somewhat trustworthy publication. So I basically looked for the things that all 3 appeared to agree on and went from there. Most of the games were me hunting down the sources where these things were announced.

This is where it’s at. You went in-depth on this. Indeed I hadn’t seen it. Let’s just let the other get buried.

Lemme add the things that stand out to me that you didn’t mention:

Laura Kate Dale, the single biggest source of rumors for the Switch, has her entire reputation riding on this presentation. I can’t wait to see what her batting average…[Read more]

You must have missed my post 8 hours ago… Pretty much had most of the same info plus a big list of all the games I found linked to the system plus any source I could find to verify the legitimacy of each title.

Dude, Id love to help if you’d like. I have some programming experience.

Out of the entire list there are only two games I am not that confident in, but listed them because having them on the platform just makes too much sense to me. Those games are Dark Souls 3 and Monster Hunter. From Software is known to be working with the Switch right now, and it would make sense that they would test their flagship title on the…[Read more]
