... I can't believe I just referred to Nintendo as "not that smart". Dear God my faith in them is at more of an all-time low than even I realized.

Nintendo have never been smart. There business is run in a very 'it's worked for this many years in Japan so we aren't changing' manner.
You only have to look at the success of the Genesis to see that a bit of western influence/control can be hugely beneficial - but I think Nintendo will die before they allow anyone else a say in how things should be done...

Like how Nintendo was supposed to be dead since 1889 I guess

It's now the 'other' console though isn't it? Like the NES was THE console, then Sega took a bite and now Sony and Microsoft are your big 2 and you 'also' have a Nintendo.
Oh hey what you playing Fifa on? Not Nintendo. Oh hey this new game is out, what's it on? Everything but Nintendo! The Switch, will do fine, Nintendo will make money. Out of their piece of the market. Out of there comfortable 'we will not change strategy' market. If that's all they want, fine. But with iOS and the like taking a large chunk out of the handheld market, well. A different approach isn't a bad idea... You buy a Nintendo system to play Nintendo games - not as a main console (unless Nintendo games are all you want). I'm not saying Nintendo is in trouble, or is going to die - I'm just saying they could do better. Easily. Thanked by: iyenal

Are you even grabbing the multiplats, or do you have some controllers coming your way?

Bomberman is, to me, probably the best looking thing on there. Would be amazing having some old-school sofa Bomberman battles but then... man, pretty pricey to get 4 players going...
I mean I guess another set of Joy-cons would do it, but those things look pretty small if you can just use one of them to play...

It's a home console that you can take with you. Do you not read the press releases?!?!

Nintendo's indie lineup for the Switch looks pretty good. Flipping Death and Blaster Master Zero in particular, have me interested.
