I've resisted all these videos and gifs so far because I want it to be exciting and new when I get mine. Next week I'll be able to say that the Switch is out next week! Exciting... I just need to pay for the damn thing first. |

See? Brilliant! I like the 3DS music too.... and the Wii music. It's something different isn't it? I'd take the 3DS front end over the Xbox One front end any day so there is that. |

And don't forget the hidden music too Well I've learnt something new today. That was great. Anyway, I'm not a fanboy or nowt but I much prefer the plinky poorly Wii/WiiU music on the home page and stores etc than the PlayStation. Sony should offer choons with their shit themes (looking at you The Last Guardian) (TLG music would be awesome on the home page.) |

Quote: Of the anticipated launch titles, Dragon Quest Heroes I + II is the full 32GB, but given the OS size, even Nintendo’s site states that the game cannot be downloaded to the internal memory and will require use of an external SD card. 32GB on a games console just seems crazy these days with all the downloading, patches and updates to games and even the OS over time. |
Author: | TheVision [ Tue Feb 21, 2017 10:24 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX") |
It does indeed seem crazy and the Switch will be limited by the size of a memory card as you won't be able to plug an external hard drive into it. What size do SD cards go up to now? I've seen a 200gig on Twitter this morning but that was £70! Only slightly better than the Vita memory card situation. |
Author: | myp [ Tue Feb 21, 2017 10:28 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX") |
In a way it's shit but at least they're using a standard card unlike Sony. I guess it's somewhat future proof though as you can just get a 1TB card in 5 years time or whatever. Better than giving you 128GB internal memory and no way of upgrading, and cheaper. |

Post subject: | Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX") |
512gb MicroSD cards are out in a few months, so the rest will drop in price then. By the time the Switch has a substantial library, it'll be a non-issue. Vita memory cards weren't that expensive compared to SD cards at release, the problem was they never substantially dropped in price. Although I think 64gb would have been better for the built in memory. Would probably satisfy many people, but I doubt 32gb will be enough for anyone. |

The Switch is out on Friday and I'm excited! Nintendo have just announced that there's a day one patch to the console that, amongst other things, enables access to the eshop, allows sharing of images via social media and enables online gaming. It also allows you to use public wifi hotspots that require a login via a web browser. This is essential as the Switch doesn't have a built in web browser. |

http://kotaku.com/nintendo-switch-the-k ... 1792776350 Quote: IN CONCLUSION
The Nintendo Switch is an experimental game console from a company with a storied history of making experimental game consoles. Whether it will go down as one of Nintendo’s successes or failures remains to be seen. Big picture: I fundamentally like using the Switch. It accomplishes its central goal admirably, and has already gotten me thinking about it differently than my other game consoles. It also has a number of irritating flaws and hidden costs, and there are so many things about it that Nintendo still hasn’t explained. Any new gaming hardware is defined by the games it can play, and here the Switch bucks convention. It has a single sensational launch game, albeit one that can also be played on the Wii U you might already own. The rest of its launch lineup is nowhere near as compelling, but the fact remains that playing this Zelda on the Switch has been one of the finest gaming experiences I’ve had in years. I suspect that, Wii U version or no, Breath of the Wild will entice a lot of people to buy a Switch. I couldn’t fault them for doing so. |

Post subject: | Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX") |
That Kotaku review said: Quote: the Switch is a beguiling, flawed piece of hardware that isn’t like any other gaming system I’ve owned. It executes its main idea well enough that its shortcomings are alternately forgivable and all the more frustrating. It feels destined to be improved upon in a hardware revision (Perhaps the “New Nintendo Switch” in 2019?), and this launch version will likely be remembered as a first generation console that wasn’t quite what it could have been. I predict the Switch will make a great many people happy, and a great many people angry. It is a Nintendo product, after all. And indeed, some of these hardware design decisions are baffling: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! But then again: the GBA was massively flawed, the GBA SP was brilliant. The DS was hugely improved upon in the DS lite and DSi. The 3DS was significantly enhanced in the New 3DS. Maybe the Switch will follow the same pattern? |
