Nintendo Gaming / Re: Forum Snap Poll: How Sold Are You on the Switch?

Apparently, the online service will give out free VC games per month sometimes with additions like ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. If this means what I think it means, it puts me firmly back into the Switch camp.

Steep looks sweet. Other than that and Zelda, this is the weakest launch line-up since well...the Wii U.

For roughly $400 bucks, I could get a Switch and Zelda. Or I can get a Wii U, a bunch of games, and Zelda. It's actually a tough call. I really want to play Smash bros., Pikmin, and Wonderful 101.

It really is gonna depend on how Zelda plays on Wii U.

Not gonna lie. Hearing Zelda finally speak, after like 27 years, hit me right in the feels.

Did anyone receive an invite that can't go? And could I have it? I can make it to the one DC and would love to go.

If there is a pack-in, it needs to have local multi-player; specifically, head to head multiplayer. I can imagine highschoolers at lunch crowding around a Switch and waiting for their turn to play. That's the type of interest Nintendo should want.

Smash bros. with it's simple control scheme would fit this role perfectly.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Do You Expect Third Parties to Support the Switch?
« on: December 23, 2016, 07:39:03 PM »
Third-party games that I'm interested in are the type I never see coming. Games like Viewtiful Joe, Zack and Wiki, No More Heroes, or Wonderful 101 you don't expect. These are new IPs that make a console cycle unique.

But then there's games that make a console cycle feel whole; racing games, sports games, and fighting games are my most important genres. Nintendo has their take on each genre, but they don't make NFS, FIFA, or Mortal Kombat. And a console needs those titles in order to complete a spectrum of choice.

So yeah, I care.

5Gbs is too slow to run a separate CPU/GPU or dual monitors or etc. I have a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 connection on my laptop and its bus speed is 40 Gbs. It can do all those things I mentioned at once.

Seasons of Heaven would fail Miyamoto's "game feel" test so hard. It doesn't look at all particularly fun to play. There's a clunkiness to it that is apparent the first time you see any animation.

EDIT: typo

Bus speeds seem awfully low, like first gen USB 3. I guess that means no "upgraded dock" as the connection speed can't handle both the display and running an extra gpu/cpu.

1440p. That seems ambitious. I honestly don't know what Nintendo is thinking. It doesn't fit what we have heard from other sources at all. There's no need to have the definition that high if all your gonna pair it with is an X1. All the games are gonna be 720p regardless. This is raising the cost of the device for no reason. It's extremely unlike Nintendo.

So, if Nintendo has fixed the ease of porting games over, what do they do about willingness?

If it truly is that easy, all they'll need to make them willing is a strong install base. It all comes down to whether they think the Switch version will sell well enough to justify the work it takes to make it, and if the amount of work is relatively minor, the less it will take to convince them of that.

But will the install base be there without the support?  Sort of a chicken-and-egg scenario.

It'll be there. With Mario Kart, Mario, Zelda, and a rumored Pokemon game in the same year, I don't see many Nintendo fans skipping the Switch.

Unless you're going for an AAA title, Ian, I don't see HD gaming being restrictive. You have several indie developers making games for PC and the threshold hasn't stopped them yet.

The 3DS is 6 years old and it's sold out this christmas. If Nintendo can successful merge it's console and handheld markets, I don't see a scenario where third-parties avoid the Switch.

"Different settings for docked / portable Switch modes spotted in Unreal Engine 4"

http://nintendoeverything.com/different-settings-for-docked-portable-switch-modes-spotted-in-unreal-engine-4/

Quote
A file in Unreal Engine 4’s master branch shows names for Switch, SwitchConsole and SwitchHandheld. As the developer points out, “the SwitchConsole settings are a notch lower than the UE4 defaults used on PC, PS4 and XB1.” It’s thought that the settings “serve as a good starting point to get a PS4/XB1 UE4 game to run acceptably on the Switch.”

Coming from the developer, this should mean it's quite possible to run ports just fine. Hype train back on course?

Wait...This is based off of Venturebeats article? Isn't one of the sources debunked by Perm's video, where the "devkit" the guy had was a toaster?

While you may be right, I think it's in our best interests to think the worst and hope for the best.

I agree with Ian to a point and it gives me a certain level of calm that both Bethesda and From Software are in line to support system.

Where I disagree is how popular the Switch is with consumers as no one will support it even superficially without raw sale data. And in that way, it's a catch 22.

If these specs are true, launch and launch window just became incredibly important.
