Pretty sure they'll make a shitload of money and they basically stole the idea from Google cardboard but I can't help but think it's going to get boring after a few minutes

I turned around completely on the Switch. I expected it to bomb. But I have one at this point, and love it.

This cardboard poo poo is loving stupid and I hope it fails.

Was going to buy a Switch after work today. I have a Wii U the kids play. Is it better? Is it a good upgrade for them?

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Not as bad as the Wii U.

I’m super skeptical of the Switch and don’t play enough video games to justify getting it, but I cannot find a single source that trashes it outside of skepticism and uncertainty about what Nintendo will do after its life cycle.

That blows my mind. The thing seems so gimmicky that I figure some kind of official hate would exist for it, but it’s all blowjobs and lollipops. Is it really that good or is it just really in fashion to dick ride Nintendo this much?

I have a lot of respect for whoever the person was at nintendo to look at the last decade or so of gaming and shout "hey all. hey. hey, remember that video games are loving toys, right? video games are toys to be played. let's do that instead of engaging and losing in the GPU arms race"

There really isn't anything gimmicky about it. It's a portable console that also is a home console for your TV; that is about the extent of the gimmick.

It's great because the games look fantastic considering you can play them for 3+ hours on the go. And now that they no longer have 2 separate consoles, their 1 and only console is going to get all the gems.

As for this cardboard thing, my kids are too young to be able to enjoy it but I think it is going to lead to cool things like Sega will be able to include a fishing reel with their console instead of it being a $60 accessory no one buys (that wouldn't get made in the first place). The IR sensor and other wacky stuff in the joycons means it won't just be dumb poo poo like the Wii steering wheels and golf clubs that were literally just worthless plastic.

Companies can make gas pedals and steering wheel setups for the Switch for like $30 instead of $200 which is what I am hoping happens.

Some executive at nintendo most likely had the idea when he saw his kids had more fun playing with empty cardboard boxes than with their constantly breaking, badly constructed, limited at 20fps gimmick of a console.

Pick and choose titles carefully, and the ability to pick up/put down quickly is paramount. Like, I'm never finishing The Witcher 3 or even Dark Souls, but I still have time for a quick 10-20 minute hop into Guild Wars 2, The Sexy Brutale, Overwatch, and so on.

-----------

Also this cardboard thing is going to make a buttfucking ton of money for Nintendo and honestly they deserve it. This is exactly the kind-of poo poo they need to be putting out right now.

Its gimmicky yeah but nintendo really put effort into it, its extremely polished. Its so easy to use, theres very little gently caress around, and you can charge it with your phone charger.

Personally, I'd just softmod the WiiU if it isn't already, get a big rear end hdd and a load a poo poo load of games onto it.

hmm most of the use cases in the video are things id just rather do in the real world. or if I had kids, show them that in the real world. the idea of cardboard box fishing or piano playing is kind of sad to me I guess.
