Thread 713275040

Where's the hype? This console is a cultural nothing. It's made no mark and left no impact.

no games to talk about yet, not even any consistent mark kart world threads or discussion. i think right now it's mostly just people replaying switch 1 games.

>>713275040 (OP)
>>713277142
Highest sales of any console in its timeframe is a pretty good cultural mark I'd say.

>>713275040 (OP)
This you? >>713276985 >>713275013

The absolute state of OP

>>713277391
sales don't equal cultural mark you thirdy

>>713277636
They only equate to cultural relevance in the 99.9% of cases.
>what's the proof?
astro bot, which sold like shit, is already forgotten.

Eric's having a meltdown in the other thread, he's getting desperate, watch him spam

>>713277824
Human Fall Flat and Bejewled 1 are among the top selling games of all time above sonic the frickin hedgehog. please i beg you go be retarded somewhere else.

>>713278103
>Human Fall Flat
Extremely iconic for the period it was relevant, and I can identify it by name only. Culturally relevant.
>Bejeweled
Extremely culturally relevant, its gameplay is literally the basis for 90% of mobile slop.
Thanks for bolstering my point!

>>713277998
idk who OP is but I'm not him. I plan on buying a Switch 2 once i see gameplay footage of games i will actually play. But i think it's really pathetic and evidence of low intelligence that many hardcore nintendo defenders on this board strawman anybody who has anything negative to say about the Switch 2 as the schizo Eric. Instead of say, posting about how much fun they're having with their Switch 2, or even just having threads about it at all, of which there are hardly any most days. there was ONE decent Mario Kart World thread yesterday and that was the first i'd seen.

>>713278432
What I can see is that you're seething mad and playing dumb. Your strawman attempt is as pathetic as the one you claim is being done to you, as well as your pitiful flawed anecdotal claims.

>>713278609
you seem upset maybe go play some games on your Switch 2 to cal- oh that's right it doesn't have any games yet and nobody is even talking about the ONE game that it does have.

the current MKW thread has 40 posts in about an hour and half and they tried to fill a room up and only got to 12 of 24 people. like a week after the launch of what is supposedly the most popular game system ever. does that not seem odd to you?

>>713279194
all this confirms is that this board consists of 30 regulars half of which are from india

>>713279194
Why the fuck would I want to play with people from 4chan?

>>713279194
the game sucks ass and people are already shelving it.
i really don't think anyone with a brain whether their a child or adult is going to give a fuck about the switch 2 until the next 3D Mario/Zelda.
the only people who bought a switch 2 thus far are the actual consoomer brained type.

>>713275040 (OP)
Do the joycons still drift?

>>713279194
Kek you fucking retard Friday Night is Mario Kart night on /v/. Thread was bouncing last night I had to wait ages for a game.

Imagine being so completely mindbroken you lurk in threads about games you'll never play on systems you'll never own.

>>713275040 (OP)
.

>the reason there's no discussion is because /v/ is literally too poor for the console
Lmao no wonder saar above is mad as hell, he's priced out.

>>713278432
Eric did more harm to his cause than good by being a spamming schizo that got btfo hard. People like a TORtanic, they love to watch things crash and fail because of their own spiteful indifference, but the only thing they like more than that is a winner turning an annoying overconfident lolcow into a shitsmear on the pavement

Everyone knows of him at this point, so everyone loves watching him make a fool of himself every single day, believing he's fighting a war when he's just some schizo everybody mocks, and he made his trademark shitting on Nintendo. You can't even say "tendies" anymore without people thinking you're him.

>>713279482
I can't wait for the next Nintendo Quarterly report

>>713279367
That's what i think too. And i think if the next 3d mario, 3d zelda or animal crossing, whichever releases first, falls flat the sales for this console will be totally dependent on the pokemon slop eaters who will gobble up anything as long as it's a mainline pokemon game. which is grim. there seems to be no cultural momentum with this console right now and i suspect we'll see a huge dropoff in sales when they release the next quarter's sales in the winter

>>713279367
You should disguise your posting style more if you're attempting samefags, just a tip to you newfren.

>>713279619
Too obvious

>>713279572
are we even sure he's still around? or have people just been assuming he's still here cause they see every negative thing said about Nintendo as Eric being Eric?

>>713279657
retard

>answering his own questions
Peak schizo hours

Nobody gives a shit about it because the new releases are too sparse and overpriced, that's not to mention the key card bs. I think deep down most owners of the console know MKW is too shallow of an experience for $80. They are in the honeymoon phase

>>713279781
There's a guy spamming slit your throat to people who aren't negative about the switch 2 and you're asking if eric isn't around?

>>713279772
double retard. are you sure you're not the schizo?
you retarded faggots act like eric has ruined discussion of Nintendo on this board but you're own paranoia and dismissal of any dissenting viewpoint towards nintendo is just as damaging. God forbid i not just agree with everyone and say i'm sure the Switch 2 will continue to do amazingly ect ect

>Where's the hype
It was there leading up to launch. It was mostly from people who would buy a Nintendo console regardless of what it could or couldn't do, but the hype was there. My issue with it has always been that it's just the Switch again but a little stronger and bigger. It's a Switch Pro that they decided to call a Switch 2. That's not interesting to me and its not enough for me to want to spend $500+ on it to experience. At most, I'd consider buying it only if my current Switch decided to completely give out on me (as in it wouldn't even turn out). Even then I'd have to weigh if any of the games on the Switch 2 are worth me not just rebuying the OLED Switch.

I've said already that I knew my opinion was the minority one going in since everyone else seemingly wanted what the Switch 2 is. I just know that I didn't want it since I find it boring, which is I don't have a Switch 2 and won't be buying one any time soon.

>>713279965
fair enough. though there are plenty of annoying schizo autists out there who would probably act the same

>>713280127
idk what to tell you buddy i'm just sitting here reading the thread and typing like you are

>>713280080
Wow 2 devices, I'm totally BTFOd.
Retard, you post the exact same way down to the grammar errors and the lack of capitalization after end of sentence marks.

>>713279781
Like I said, if you post what he posts, people will always think of him regardless if he's you or not. Without any foresight whatsoever, he made his anti-Nintendo position into the lolcow schizo loser position, inadvertently shooting himself and everyone who shares his position in the foot. He poisoned his own well.

The fact of the matter is, the general atmosphere surrounding this compared to the first switch in 2017 isn't even close. People were hyped as fuck for breathofthe wild and mario odyssey, and coming off of the wii u era is seemed a huge step in the right direction. What does Switch 2 have? Controversy surrounding pricing, and DK Bananza which most didn't care about until they showed a loli

>>713280464
>Controversy surrounding pricing
Manufactured and irrelevant, rest of your post is cope.

>>713280181
Personally i wanted a true handheld that is pocketable and about the same power as the switch. the more system power goes up the longer the dev cycles take. Games are just as capable of being fun for hours with gamecube tier hardware as they are with switch 2 hardware, the difference is you have to wait 7 years for each release from a developer group instead of 2 or 3. Just not worth it in my eyes, the lowest common denominator disagrees though, and that's where they money is so i guess i'll just have to suffer.

Do doomposters ever get tired of their forced narratives?

>>713280430
I like to think my posts are more calm and thought out than that.
>>713280426
his posting style is close to mine now that you mention it, but it's not me, sorry buddy you're not as clever as you thought. have a beanbob as a consolation prize

>>713280567
>Manufactured and irrelevant
Is it though? There are many youtube videos of people stating their buyers remource for mario kart, and all the third party games are flopping aside from maybe cyberpunk. You can call it cope but that donkey kong game isn't going to do odyssey numbers. There are no heavy hitters for the switch 2's first year

>>713280426
>2 devices
You don't even need two devices to do that
One page in incognito will already work

>>713280819
I don't think the Switch 2 is doomed, i just think people's expectations are way too high and i'd like to talk about the misteps, possible reasons and what corrections/errors could be made. Not all critique is doomposting.

>>713280892
>Is it though?
3.5m sales say yes.

>>713280892
It has been my assumption that a lot of the purchases were people wanting to resell their switch 2 for easy profit. I'm sure part of it is also simply that there are more people and there is a greater percentage of people gaming today than there has ever been. I think it would be interesting to see the sales numbers adjusted for market size vs previous consoles for an actual look at market saturation of consoles during their launch windows rather than looking at raw numbers.

>>713280627
The days of a true portable that fits in your pocket and has games designed specifically for that device (and utilize any unique hardware ideas it had) are over. The PSP sort of started the mentality of "have a current gen console experience on the go" as a selling point, but the Switch/Switch 2 made it mainstream and successful. Now we have Steamdeck, the Rog Ally (and the upcoming Xbox Rog Ally), and all the other "portables" on the way are going for this same thing. There's no problem with people liking that and obviously they do, but I do agree with you that it didn't come with losing some of spirit of what made handheld gaming unique in the first place.

>>713278432
I'm impressed. I really am. You actually wrote Switch instead of Shitch so you won't be that obvious.

"Our" boy Eric is learning.

>>713275040 (OP)
There is no mainline Mario or Zelda. These are the only franchises worth caring about. DK is irrelevant

>>713281857
Surely they're going to give us a mainline entry into AC, Mario, Zelda or Pokemon before the holidays right?

>>713281540
>it didn't come without losing some of spirit of what made handheld gaming unique in the first place
Fixed

>>713282229
yeah like entire genres of games we don't get anymore except maybe if we're lucky some sloppy game by untalented indie devs and the fact that we don't get a steady flow of games each month from great developers anymore.

>>713282129
Dunno. Maybe they thought kids would be enamored with Mario Kart. Which to be fair, that franchise is huge and does sell a lot to kids, but its hard to say if they're really that reliable. Kids might prefer games on their ipad like Roblox these days. As of right now, theres pretty much nothing appealing to adults in their 30s. I wish they waited until that new Metroid was ready first. Not sure why they had to rush this thing out with no gaemz

>>713278103
I've literally never heard of both of these
What the fuck is wrong with normalfags sheeple masses?

>>713282503
last time i saw official user numbers by age something like 80% of Switch users were over the age of 18 so i'm not sure why they'd try to count so hard on kids sales. also i'd assume most kids get their consoles on their birthdays or christmas, not at launch.

>>713278103
Sonic was trash and you're a faggot sega cuck

>>713282596
well we know this user didn't own a PC in the early 2000s
>>713282668
oh wait yeah i see what you mean, you think they think MKW will carry switch sales through the holidays along with DK just cause kids love it. you could be right they might be counting on that, i don't think it's going to work this time though if that's how it goes.

>>713282759
missed the point entirely congrats anon have a maggotbob.

>>713275040 (OP)
Consoles haven't had any hype since the ps4/xbone released, even that's generous

>>713282129
Best they can do is Metroid (maybe)

>he think adults in the 30s care about "mature" games
Why the Sonƴgģers think everyone is mentally stunted to they edgy teenage years?

>>713275040 (OP)
Switch 2 and PS5 despite anemic launch lineups both sold themselves on promises of future exclusives to come. The only difference is Switch 2 will probably get there.

>>713282804
I was playing StarCraft, BF1942 and RO on my PC in the early 2000s
Why do normalfags always have such shitty taste and throw their money at the worst things instead of actual good games?
Sales and "hype" mean nothing to me because you're all NPC sheeple with no brains.

>>713282918
do lowest common denominator people even know Metroid exists? I guess if Nintendo isn't trying to match Switch 1 sales this would be fine, they could still have a successful console without it selling gangbusters by dripfeeding titles your mainstream normies care about, but it won't have the momentum of the Switch 1. not that i think it could, a huge portion of Switch 1 sales happened during the lockdown era when everyone didn't have much else to do. We're (probably?) never going to get something like that again in our lifetimes even if there was another pandemic i don't think people would willingly submit to lockdowns peacefully again. So there's not going to be a covid boost this time.the normies are starting to go back outside and to restraunts and talk to eachother. the only places i see anybody still wearing masks is ultra liberal retard hotspots like local co-op health food stores or mentally ill 70yo women. and they're still pretty rare.

>>713275040 (OP)
im playing now tho

weak launch titles and backwards compatibility is not stable for switch 1 games. it seems that they are really copying all of the worst parts of skyrim by charging you again for BotW / TotK. im okay with waiting until they release something interesting fore the switch 2z
>>713282668
>nintendo asks user if they are 18+
>kids under 18 say yes because thats what you are trained to do anytime you are asked.

>>713283079
idk man, but bejewled was all over the place, and Bejewled 2 was pretty good for it's time, loved the soundtrack and sfx. most kids don't have developed taste in games, usually takes time unless their parents were gamers and help them develop it early like my older cousin introducing me to Heroes of Might and Magic 2.

>>713283363
that's a fair assumption i suppose. But i hadn't heard anything about backwards compatibility not being stable for Switch 1 games, can you explain?

>>713283243
They seriously need a new Animal Crossing. I swear, that game is just absurd with normies. My wife absolutely hates and despises video games, and somehow she loves that game after I got her to try it.

>>713283243
Nintendo's certainly been trying to put a little more effot in marketing Metroid (I say "a little" because it's still not much); there were ads for Dread all over Mexico and lest we forget that sign for Prime 4 in the UK that just popped up (y'know, the one that really makes me wish there was truth in advertising?)

>>713283523
That's probably not gonna happen for a while, since they're the same team as Splatoon, and they're doing Raiders right now, and God knows what they'll do after that (either a proper Splatoon 4 or a new AC)

>>713283523
I only ever really enjoyed the first game for gamecube for a lot of hours. Didn't like the ds or 3ds one, played the Switch 1 game for like 80 hours, but it was lockdowns so that definitely gave it a play boost cause i didn't have anything else to do besides play Mahjong Souls. Depending on what they do with the next game i think i'll probably get it.

It's not even fun to make fun of.

>>713283737
I would be 100% okay with them giving AC to another dev team, the splatoon devs are gross and it definitely bled into AC NH and it's fanbase

>>713277391
not a honorable cultural mark considering the cultural context

>>713284162
jeez, nothing but neckbeards, browns and obese women.

>>713283502
switch 2 emulates switch 1 games which can introduce new bugs and issues that were not previously a problem. some games arent launching, while others are running sluggishly. i dont think its a problem for 1st party titles though, and im sure they are working on a fix. its not a huge issue but it did stop me from buying day one.

>>713283737
>>713284095
They did expand EPD5 with a bunch of new devs to where 95% of devs between S3 and NH are completely different. Sure they could do both series at the same time also it was splatoon that got all the new devs, so the next AC will be more of the same

>>713284162

The Xbox thing is pretty funny. Makes you wonder if they'll even bother releasing that new thing in Japan.

>>713275040 (OP)
the same phenomenon as with the switch 1. second best-selling console but nobody in real life had it.

>>713285049
that looks fun as hell I wonder what dreamcast game they were playing

>>713285493
almost everyone i know as an american who is between 12 and 40 owns a switch

>>713275040 (OP)
3M sales seems to say otherwise. It'll be popular as the 3rd console yet again. You don't have to love it but 1st party exclusives will let it do well again and I'm sure my kids will play certain titles as their firsts.

All of my close vidya frens have a switch 2 and have been playing every single day, a mix of new games, new ports, and old switch 1 titles that look better than ever. Cry moar.

>>713286071

Not to mention
Gamecube, N64, and GBA games I genuinely have a ton of shit to play

>>713286950
Not playing ports, and that’s not enough to sell me on it yet. I’ll get one eventually but I’m not dropping $500 to play MK and fucking deltarune.

>>713287049
Go start a family and stop jacking it to troons

I'm predicting a 3ds like outcome, not terrible but can't capture as many like the original.
I just hope they can still get some good 3rd party support in the future with some level of uniqueness. Honestly abandoning handhelds for a hybrid makes sense, but the tailor made games for their handhelds were pretty special, and the switch 1 just kinda got lame ports of multiplat games, kinda feel like this will just continue on switch 2. Cyber punk is pretty good showing of what could be achievable though.

>>713288154
>Cyber punk is pretty good showing of what could be achievable though.
I really hope this kicks other companies into actually putting their games on the card, especially games with long-term support like Street Fighter

>>713275040 (OP)
What's with you tendies spamming these controversy threads?

>>713288403
Yeah I hope they will develop different sized carts, not all games need 60+ gigs to fit. I think there has been enough backlash to give me hope it will reflect in sales. Its still preferable to code in box as you can sell at least, but still not much better.

>>713288586
Its not Nintendo fans doing it.

>>713284897

The cope is incredible.

In its first few months Switch 2 will be home to Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4.

>>713292127
you should go look at the current MKW thread, it's like 12 guys and one seething dude just horny posting between races. and it's not gained any more players in the past 5 hours or something. Kinda supports my theory that a large percentage of the consoles bought in opening window were scalpers who are not mostly sitting on the products they bought up. If /v/ threads for a newly launched nintendo console and it's flagship game can't even get a full lobby. pretty grim stuff. i hope when smash bros comes out it's not total garbage and we can get some decent lobbies then...

not many people care about Metroid, despite how much both metroid fans and nintendo would like for this to be otherwise. and idk about DK Bananza, it's hard to filter out shilling for that and tell if normies are genuinely interested in it or not.

>>713292815

Theres absolutely at least one first party game they haven't announced yet. Like Mario and Luigi did last year.

>>713292764
I'm the same anon who has said he intends to get the next Smash game unless it's trash. good strawman though it would have been a good argument if true.If the 3d mario and zelda are dogcrap and come out before smash i'll get a switch 2 for that also. Maybe Animal Crossing, we'll see i don't really expect that until later, i can't remember off the top of my head about for the other consoles but it came out on switch like 3 years after launch.

I wish they would offer a standalone non portable with pro controller alongside the eventually lite version. Both being offered seems fair for those that want portable only or dock only.
Know they won't but still, I can dream. This would also potentially allow vrr to function on a tv, which would be awesome.

>>713293321
why would nintendo ever sell you something cheaper? now buy a pro controller separately, peasant.

>>713285184
the guy holding up the camera as his hambeast wife attempts to lightly jog as they run towards an amusement park for children. priceless. if there's history books in the future this will undoubtedly be in a chapter called "the decline".

>>713290916
undoubtedly, late gen-z and gen-alpha are far better informed than we ever were. the days of "omg so quirky" or being deliberately socially awkward as a positive are over. it's just annoying now. we definitely have another 30-40 years of gynocentrism. i strongly suspect they will purge youtube and wikipedia at some point to repress information, that was a big blunder by them to just allow free exchange of records and video.

we blamed the boomers for the financial suicide of the west. gen alpha and gen z will blame the simps and 3rd wave feminists for killing its spirit though. they'd be entirely right to do that.

all that said, I can't see somewhere like London lasting even another 100 years

>>713292764
Why did you post cope if you weren't coping?

>>713293505
Agreed on all points

>>713292396
>Metroid Prime 4
>First few months
We're halfway hrough the year they say it's coming out and that's still all we know about its release window at the moment

When will the next direct likely be? i thought they had one in june pretty often

>>713293459
I doubt they would make it much cheaper, maybe 400. Kinda wondering what the lite will target price wise.
I'm honestly fine waiting for a year or a bit more to see if they do a switch 1 style update to the chip, and hopefully at least improve the motion clarity of the lcd. I probably can't wait for the oled.

>>713293767
if a consolised model doesn't match the more powerful series s at $300 it's completely pointless.

>>713293707
oh apparently that DK preview counts as a direct. lame. though it did make the game seem more appealing than previous previews. however i'm not buying a game with so much obvious gayfurfag bait in it.

>>713293707
They do, but I've noticed that E3 being dead means that's not a guarantee anymore. They didn't really have much of a choice in 2020, but they did have one in 2021 (the last year E3 was a thing), and then just Twitter stuff in 2022. They did have Directs the last two years, but now with Splatoon Raiders being announced out of the blue and DK getting its own Direct, it's not looking good (then again, Mario Wonder got its own Direct near its launch and they did a regular Direct after it anyway, so I hope lightning strikes twice here). In nay case, if they don't announce one next week, I'm gonna be a lot more skeptical if Prime 4 will make it this year, and if they wait until September, then it'll no doubt be delayed to 2026

>>713293767
They'll make it cheaper if they're desperate to make up a market gap. Just like they did with the Wii-U and the 3DS.

>>713277391
Doesn't mean much other than it had the most stock, that could just mean it's the most scalped and consoles are rotting.

>>713294503
That's what i've been trying to say.

>>713294339
400 with a game packed in would get me on board.

>>713294187
Quick amendment: Even when E3 WAS a thing, June Directs weren't guaranteed. They only thing they did in 2016 was show off Breath of the Wild on the showfloor

>90 minute battery life
>weird battery bulging issue like it’s gonna start exploding on people any day
>cheap lcd screen used people turning off hdr to see better

Not in a rush to get this anytime soon. Third party games will always be better on PS5. I hated astrobot and dropped it in an hour, not into 3D platformers so the new pedo donkey kong game looks like shit to me. I want to play BotW, MK and maybe some sort of new Zelda game if they do a remaster but no reason to get it until they address all the issues first

>>713292815
Is that Seulgi ? Weird how different she looks there

Anyways Red Velvet hasnt released a good song since Psycho so I don’t know why youre still posting her

>>713294919
the screen and battery life don't matter to me, i don't take my switch 1 out anywhere with me anyway at least not since lockdowns ended, i used to have to go into work and sit there for 5 hours a day even though we weren't actually open, i guess to appease the higher ups since they'd been paying us to sit at home while we were closed for like 6 months. anyway i doubt that's happening again so my switch 2 will remain docked and plugged into my gaming monitor, probably with a pro controller and connected to my stereo system.

>Dooming a new console after only 2 weeks of its release.
Is there anyone more pathetic who waste their time like this? Even Chicken Little would tell you to calm down.

>>713295670
didn't read the thread award

>>713295670
people still doom playstation when the ps5 has sold 80~ million consoles, the switch 2 could sell 100~ million and people would still go
>oh no no it's 60 million behind the switch 1

>>713275040 (OP)
eric
please just shut the fuck up

>>713295381
You know they’re gonna do an oled model with an 8 hour battery life. Even if yours stay docked, your autism will continue to tingle until you feel it, knowing full well yours only has 1.5 battery life with a shittier screen

Launch models always got issues they need to fix. Companies use the most loyal fans as Guinea pigs. Even sadder is how they will buy it again

>>713279482
console shipped during a pandemic using parts on the latest node at the time vs a tablet with stable supply chains on old parts. gee i wonder which would have more units in stock

>t.steamie

>>713296802
NTA, but I didn't get an OLED Switch 1 after I got a launch Switch because I kept it docked, so I doubt anything's gonna change here

>>713275040 (OP)
full priced early access beta for the next console

There's no "hype" because it's just same but better. Which is what the majority of people wanted, but until there are more games that can take use of the "better", there isn't going to be much OMG IT'S PHENOMENAL. Just like you don't see much massive hype over things like the PS5 or Xbox. It's sold out in most places in the States, but you're not going to see a ton of massive hype second coming of Jesus coverage about it.

>>713292851
stay delusional anon.

we're going to play it day 1 in 4k/120fps and you're just going to have to take whatever drs nintendo forces you with lmao.

>>713298293
day -14 is likely, switch games leak stupid early.

>>713277391
there are a billion more brown people to sell to than there were decades ago. sales have never meant less

>>713296802
didn't bother me with the Switch 1. i'm not too poor to go out and buy a switch 2 right now but i am too poor to bother upgrading my switch 2 to an OLED just cause there's a slightly better option with features i won't be using.

>>713298628
which is why i've stuck with my launch model steam deck instead of upgrading to the OLED one. probably wont bother with Steamdeck 2 either, since i don't even use my steamdeck for the latest AAA titles anyway

>>713279194
>of what is supposedly the most popular game system ever.

theres only 3.5 million systems out there currently. 3.5 million in 4 days does not mean 60 million mark kart players

>>713298720
guess you weren't around during the smash ultimate release. servers were full immediately with tons of players. MKW is averaging something like 16-18 players per match with online play

not another faggot saying i'm eric. please stop derailing the thread. i don't give two shits about some schizo who loses his mind anytime somebody mentioned nintendo, this thread isn't about eric, go make a frickin erik thread or something. you guys are genuinely more annoying than the schizoposters and i see you more often too

>>713275040 (OP)
Let’s be honest here. Switch 2 already has more exclusives than PS5 on top of last gen library (current gen games all blow anyway).

another Sony exec was arrested

The Switch 2 is going to be the best selling console of all time. It's carrying plenty of cultural weight, you just don't care to see it because you have an axe to grind and Nintendo bothers you, so you look away.

>>713299937
What ever you say, Eric.

It's bad, and because it's Nintendo, it's indicative of the rest of the industry. All you really need to take away from the Switch 2 launch is that it's not even a half finished release. It's closer to a quarter finished release, and expect the other next gen consoles to follow suit.

>>713301562
>will be
It may have the best 10 year lifespan, but the hardware is already underwhelming. Nintendo is digging it's feet into a niche of very young players and shallow games that appeal to them.

digital foundry said the switch 2 lcd screen has worse ghosting than the original switch in 2017

>>713294919
It's an extremely comfy battlestation dock mode console and I will stand on that, the joycons undocked allow me to browse, watch shit and just overall keep the vibe going way more than a traditional controller. Niche selling point? sure, but it fits my comfy vidya lore.

>>713301692
we're overdue for a vidya industry crash to kill all these zombie corps and make room for actual talent and a good restart on the industry. I hope you're right but i doubt you are. We haven't had an actual crash in any notable industry since the Great Recession. longest we've gone without any major industry crashes in American history in fact. and the rot that comes with that really shows. it's all being held up mainly by investor money, which in reality is mostly everyone's retirement money being managed by investors. I'm not even sure things *can* collapse the way they used to anymore. and that's a bad thing.

It starts with

MKW
DK Bonanza
Metroid Prime 4
All the ports that matter
Kirby Air Ride
DuskBlood
Splatoon spin-off
Highly likely animal crossing expansion

I mean, is that not good enough for nearly all vidya taste? PS5 has had movie games and non-exclusives

>>713275040 (OP)
Highest selling console in such a short time frame and there's literally nothing you can do about it. Kick and scream all you want.

>>713275040 (OP)
How often do you see people talking about the latest iPhone? Yet it’s a cornerstone of the first-world’s culture.

>>713302831
ONE GAME

I DONT KNOW WHY

I BOUGHT A SWITCH 2 WITH NO GAMES TO BUY

>>713301981
This has literally been the argument against Nintendo since the N64 and its literally never been true. Its always been the weakest console, its always had the worse tech, and its almost always come out the most successful. It seriously doesn't matter. What did all that high grade tech in the PS5 turn into? Multiplats, ports, and less than a handful of exclusives. It has no games, and its hemorrhaging money for Sony. And they want you to spend nearly 1000 USD on a pro version right now. When the PS6 releases (if it ever does to be real) you can bet your ass it'll cost over $1k and it'll still have no games.

Like, it's easy to make fun of Nintendo and say all they have is Zelda and Mario, but at least they actually have those?

>>713301692
You're just an idiot, though. It's selling like gold, you might really want a crash, but the quality of a console isn't a sign of the industries oncoming crash. The willingness to buy a console is. It's the best selling console in this period of time to date, it's a sign that the industry is stronger than ever currently. At least when it comes to Nintendo.

>>713303038
To be fair, we already got a big expansion for AC. We're probably getting a new game announced this year or next year, instead. I'd love it if they would milk the current game for like 10 years, but I seriously doubt it's going to happen. That being said, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll announce another expansion this year and then a new game in like 2 or 3 years? If we get a new expansion that feels like a realistic timeline, I just doubt the second expansion.

We're also getting a Tomodachi Life sequel, but that's a Switch 1 title (probably?).

>>713300971
really?

>>713303038
>MKW
already dying, struggles to get full lobbies on /v/
>DK Bonanza
ugly art style and not mainline Mario
>Metroid Prime 4
also on Switch 1

Do we really need another racing game? Plus Kirby is a a c-list franchise
>DuskBlood
finally a real game
>Splatoon spin-off
That series is milked too hard

>>713304764
>do-doesn't count
faggot

>>713304914
none of those games will be classics played for any longer than a couple weeks besides duskbloods

>>713303038
It's great. That's not even including Tomodachi and a new Rhythm Heaven game. I'm sure we'll get a new 3D Mario game next year to align with the new Mario movie.

>>713305157
sure buddy, whatever helps you cope at night

>>713275040 (OP)
Look.

>>713303174
Rich white people are moving away from iPhone cause it's becoming associated with blacks and indians because blacks and indians think it's a status symbol, which it won't be because they're the ones using it now even though they have to take out frickin loans to get them. status symbols only work if people with status are the main people with it, otherwise they move on to something else. same thing is happening with luxury car and clothing brands now. look it up it's real
