@julianboxe: No its not. Not at all and we don't even consider unreleased /future games. 1070/1800x owner here and in many of those games like Crysis3 /welcome to the jungle(is it a game or a benchmark really?), fallout 4, rottr, w3, wd2 etc etc it really struggles to maintain 60fps at 1080p. You may call it bad optimization, stupid amd or whatever, case is if 1070 is not enough now for 1080p /ultra (some of those games are 3 or 4 years old already) it won't do better in the future.
@nikon133: The enormous fan base that Nintendo has established over 30 years, Mario, Zelda and their high profits from Gameboy /3DS is what keeping them to the game. They are close to be another Sega they know they can't go toe to toe with the competition and the keep throwing controllers and touchscreens.
Nintendo is like an old magician who's giving a show and he have performed all of his tricks and searching his sleeves for that last trick that will keep the audience entertained a little longer.
@isariamkia: I am more frustrated not angry that Nintendo is releasing Switch 3.5 years after the other consoles and they keep focusing on younger market and not adults.
I may have exaggerated about 3 games only but seriously the library of wiiu is very limited (I think half of the wii?) and when you are in your 40s you don't care much about dance party type of games or rereleases like skyrim.
Every console needs some exclusives tittles and if only those 3 IPs after 30 years are the main reason to look forward to a new Nintendo console each time they running out of options.
@doctor_mg: I've recently read that Switch won't come with a charging device for the controller and we know how much Nintendo loves to sell accessories (and they made a good profit from them). So 1 extra acc. +1 game ~ 400.
Oh and I couldn't play seriously Bayonetta 2 with the default wiiugamepad controller so I got a pro. I assume the same will apply for any similar games that may come for switch.
@nikon133: The handheld gaming market share is dominated by smartphones. Its not my opinion its a fact, google it up. I really don't know where Nintendo is aiming. The lion's share for handhelds ? Kinda tough. Most advanced console ? Probably not. Another gimmicky controller that will be forgotten like virtual boy and nunchuk? Blurry.
@doctor_mg: No its not much I meant its much for what switch asking and in comparison to what the other consoles are offering. If someone don't have -any- gaming platform then 300 (+100 for game /controller) its ok but if you have a gaming pc, ps4, xb1 +300 for switch is overkill. Again I am judging from my pov because they are sitting in the closet.
Then again who am I to judge. Chances are that if somebody has 2 or 3 gaming systems he can afford another one. Thats my 2c. /rant
I honestly don't see any reason for any developer to develop for Nintendo or even to buy a Switch unless you are super rich and you got too much time in your hands or you QQ to your parents all day or your a fanatic.
Nintendo wont fool me this time. I got all nintendo consoles since nes (yes I am kinda old) and every time the only games I owned were Mario Zelda and Metroid. If it wasn't for Bayonetta 2 I wouldn't own a wiiu. I aint gonna throw 300+bucks for ancient hardware with no games once more after 20 years.
Sorry Nintendo but you are really in a tight spot.
1.Mobile gaming is owned by smartphones (which probably in 2 years will be more powerful than a switch). Remember PS Vita fail?
2. For that price tag you can get a ps4 or x1 that can also:
3. Play record and share media music and videos with the rest of the world and are not dust crawlers of the living room.
My father once bought me a nes. I won't do the same mistake for my child now.
Don't know maybe you are right but the lack of more tactical options/overlay (no healing /buff spells or powerful magic spells like some players mention in their reviews) it kinda frustrates me to say the least.
I don't doubt Bioware's good narrative/plot will be evident as it is in all their games even MEffect, but iI want more tactical combat like Aarklash Legacy (a pleasant indy surprise) to mix with such good plot. I own all Bioware games but this is the first time that I will probably wait for a sale.
I know its not Baldur's Gate 2 but after the fiasco DA2 was I am a bit skeptical buying this considering also the fact that DA1 did not reached my expectations.
Bayonetta is the epitome of non stop infinite climax action. I thought Mark was biased with the 10 but no - that phrase says it all :"The sad realisation that future action games may never top this". And that exactly was my reaction to the first game!
Indeed Bayonetta's gameplay is so refined it has the best parts of every game in the genre plus more. I was a huge masterNG and SSDMC fan but I can't play them anymore after Bayonetta released. They feel so slow and dated. There's really no comparison to the freedom, speed and fluidity of combat to any game to date.
