Also, Playtonic have cancelled the Wii U version of Yooka-Laylee and will instead bring it to Switch.
|
Makes sense.
|
I hope it plays like "nut n bolts"

I've seen a lot of outcry over the GPU power already, but that's 50% more graphical power than the Wii U with significantly faster CPU and RAM speeds. Shame we can't get the full version of X1 working in dock mode, but considering it runs the same software in portable mode, I doubt anyone could make full use of it anyway. |
Anyone thinking that the Switch was gonna blow the Xbone/Ps4 out of the water graphically is just deluding themselves. Besides, we're rapidly hitting a graphical plateau anyways and it soon won't make a difference.
|
So we're looking at longer load times and less slick visuals in portable mode?

Feel like Nintendo can do anything they want with a console and it will still sell because of their game licenses like Zelda and Mario. They could literally make the "Nintendo Ass" which would be an ass shaped helmet that you put on your head and the monitor inside delivers a "VR gaming experience" to play Zelda : The Life of Link, but it is literally a plastic ass that you put your head into to play.
Would still sell because Nintendo game licenses. |
The last Nintendo console that seemed "cool" was the N64
|
I'm almost willing to bet it's Nintendo's last hardware device. They're finally going to realize they can't cut the mustard anymore with hardware and will just sell games.
The major selling point/reason for the switch is the portability factor and its basically crippled for portable use. Makes absolutely ZERO sense. Plus I doubt many people are dying to lug around what amounts to a small tablet just so they can play Nintendo games. |
Oh hey, it's the Nintendos Last Hardware rhetoric from the late 90's again!
Fun fact: Even the Wii U was profitable for them. Some games lost money, sure, but as a whole they came out on top again. |
Current rumor regarding the Switch's Virtual Console teases at Eternal Darkness being among the games planned for it based on recent trademark filings by Nintendo. Also being speculated Nintendo might be planning on doing more with the IP than just a re-release based on some of the wording in the new trademark.

It's a game they made for mobile phones, which I hear is also a big market these days.
It doesn't mean they are abandoning consoles. |
The Wii U flops and all of a sudden Nintendo goes from "we'll never release games on mobile devices " to "we won't port existing games to mobile devices but we might create new games for them"
Hmm |

I used to say I would never type 'lol' but now I do. Peoples opinions on things changes. You wave money in front of them and they will change faster.
|
And there is more money to be made selling games to the bazillion people with IPhones than there is the relatively small number of people (13 million for the Wii U) buying their consoles. Its just a fact.
|
According to recent FCC filings, the battery for the Switch is similar to PS4 controllers in sense of not being easily replaceable. Also teasing the device won't support 3G nor LTE for Bluetooth capabilities.

Not that I'm getting one, but the battery choice seems dumb.
|
So when the battery dies the million dollar question is can you still play it in the dock. Would be hilarious if not.

Which is irrelevant if the battery goes bad
My first cell phone I had got to the point the battery would die in 30 minutes if it wasn't plugged in. Advances in battery tech aside if you get a bad battery and its not replaceable it usually means the thing is junk. One of the reasons why I only buy cell phones with replaceable batteries. A $30 controller having a dead battery =/= a $300 console paperweight with a dead battery. |
What if the CPU dies in any console? These hypotheticals are DELIGHTFUL!
Battery is always user replaceable, no matter what the company tries to do. |
So is it a good decision to buy a Wii U? I want to play Zelda games plus the "party games"(so far out of the loop on everything video games). Or should I just wait for the Switch?
|
If your really interested in a decent amount of games and can find one reasonably cheap, then sure. Nintendo has refurbished ones for around $200-$215 with 1-2 games if you don't care about having a used one.
Could also just wait till after the Switch event in a couple of weeks to get an idea of the games the Switch is going to have for launch and shortly afterwards. Maybe it will have similar type of party games you might be interested in. |
I have fun with the wii u when I play it. The controller itself is bloody brilliant imo. Plus like you said Zelda and Mario and party games and kart racers. Also some decent niche jrpgs on there like xenoblade chronicles x. You can also watch YouTube and what not on the control which is sweet. The short range sucks though but then again the switch is trying to correct that.

Ofc it does, it just isn't a pain in the dick to change it if needed. That's all I was saying. Why make it needlessly difficult. |

Looks like Zelda might be day 1

So the long awaited port of a game boy advance game from Japan in 2006 onto the VC is their big selling point for the Switch. I'm sure they'll be knocking stores doors down for that
|
Yeah but it's been re-translated.

Am I the only one who hates Mother?
