Fetch The Bolt Cutters 15-01-2017 11:26 AM

how is rayman legends gonna be the definitive edition when it already exists on ps4 idgi

Tom4784 15-01-2017 02:38 PM

I won't perch until Splatoon 2, Mario Kart and (likely) Pokemon Star comes out. Arms looks like it could be interesting but it's not enough to get me to go out and buy it.

Zelda will be amazing but it won't justify spending £300.

Nintendo will also have a 'free game a month' thing for their online service, but for them its more along the lines of 'SNES/NES game only for a month' as in, you get a SNES game and can only play that one month.

That's ****ing dumb. Whoever makes these decisions need to be demoted to the production line and let the adults make the decisions. All they needed to do was to release their equivalent to PS+ and XB Gold.

Hold up- I just realized the Switch will be 400$ + tax in Canada- that is insane. No longer pre-ordering :joker:

I know, but if it's coming out on the switch I might as well get it on that imo

Scarlett. 16-01-2017 10:16 PM

Apparently the grip that comes with the console isn't a charging grip, if you want that you have to pay $30 extra

rk3388 16-01-2017 10:20 PM

Okay yeah I'm done with the switch at the moment - No way I am paying 450$ for the base model, a further 80$ for a game then over 100$ more for the proper equipment. WIll wait for the price drop if there is one

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 16-01-2017 10:21 PM

it just gets worse lmao

Tom4784 16-01-2017 10:24 PM

FFS Nintendo.

How ****ing difficult is it to not **** up something that should be simple?

So, not only does voice chat have to be done via smartphone app, so do lobbies and matchmaking...

They just like to be awkward for the sake of it. Even back with the GameCube - which IMO was an amazing console - they just had to have their little pointless, and annoying, quirks. Like using the miniature discs instead of regular DVDs... WHY? Because they're small and cute? The console could have fit a regular DVD without being much bigger, and then there wouldn't have been the need for multiple discs for games that would EASILY have fit on one DVD :umm2:.

I'm getting one I've decided :shame: I don't like the pricing of the console and all the extras but it does seem like a great product tbf and I reckon I'd get my moneys worth, and I probably won't be playing anything besides Zelda for the first few months anyway :laugh: so I'm not really fussed about the launch titles.

Tbf Although the launch is mediocre it seems like they have a steady stream of games planned which was the Wii U's problem.
i.e. Nintendo for 2017 alone has Zelda BOTW, 1,2-Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Arms, and Fire Emblem Warriors
As well as other games to look out for like Sonic Mania, Project Sonic, Super Bomberman R, Rime, Yooka-Laylee, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (<3), Skyrim, Lego City Undercover (Great game), Rayman Legends (Also great game) and more!

The price is my main concern right now, not the games as long as they can keep up the momentum all 2017 and into 2018

Jake. 02-03-2017 07:05 PM

Cannot believe this is out tomorrow, gone so quick

I for one have mine preordered!

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 02-03-2017 07:07 PM

there's only like 4/5 games announced that interest me so i probs won't bother until at least next year

Jake. 02-03-2017 07:11 PM

Yeah I don't even know why I'm bothering this early but bomberman looks fun and I'll be getting MK8 Deluxe/Sonic Mania for it soon

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 02-03-2017 07:12 PM

appaz there's serious framerate issues when using it docked too :worry:

Crimson Dynamo 02-03-2017 07:13 PM
