Why did they release it with no new games available at release date?
And no - Mario Kart is not a proper game, it's a palate cleanser you play for 15 minutes between playing real games.

>demon souls

NINTENDO HATE THREAD #16

Released with a better linep up than your schlock

>>713822664 (OP)
if you already have a switch 1, then yeah probably pointless to upgrade until more games or an oled model comes out
if you don't already have a switch 1, then it's more reasonable to start with the 2 and upgrade later if you actually like it

>>713823416
It isn't pointless to upgrade if you have a switch 1, its the opposite. It makes all your switch 1 games run better plus you already have the hardware ready for the new games

>>713823416
But that's my point.
Switch 1 was released 8 years ago.
Switch 2 releases after almost a decade with 0 interesting games at launch.

It's really grim how video game innovation has basically ground to a halt.
Nothing new is happening - it's becoming a dead industry.

>>713823718
it's pointless. the console has been out for 8 years, if you already played all your games on such a low powered system, you're used to it and can keep holding off until more games come out.
being able to play all the games you already beat with slightly better performance isn't an incentive to upgrade, it's a nice bonus
>>713823876
they should have just waited until metroid, dk, kirby air riders, and some more games were ready to go at launch. however them screwing scalpers over was a nice bonus of releasing early. anyone who wants one can buy one at a store

>>713822664 (OP)
they released it with a game from one of the best selling series of all time
they didn't need to do more
now the spiritual successor to mario odyssey is next
nintendo cant stop winning

>>713824118
>they should have just waited
No they shouldn't, thats just your shit opinion. You wanna know how I know you are wrong? It's the best selling console launch in history. So no, clearly they didnt had to wait for jack shit. Mario kart 8 is one of the best selling games of all time, a new one is all they need. Keep coping tho

>>713823416
Disagree I have both and there is a clear quality and performance upgrade with BOTW for example, and MKW run smooth as butter, I cannot believe Nitnendo have actually done what I asked for this is amazing

>>713824118
It's funny how I read online about Switch 2 being so hard to get, people making preorders months before and stuff, meanwhile in my country, where Nintendo isn't really that popular, Switch 2 boxes just lay next to Switch 1 boxes in a local small town hardware store with no one giving a shit.

>>713824483
I'm not saying it was a failure or anything, i'm saying people would probably be happier if there were more games at launch. and I mean new games, not just ports or rereleases.
just having mario kart 9 alone makes everyone focus on that game and overly criticize it. just look at how people are reacting to the new patch that changes how random course selection online works. it wouldn't be getting this much attention if there were other games to focus on
People were going to buy it no matter what, whether it released now or closer to Christmas. it was going to be the best console launch in history regardless

>>713824821
Which country?

>>713824564
>BOTW for example
Except I already beat it.
No point in playing it again.

>>713824995
Poland.

>makes everyone focus on that game and overly criticize it.
This but every game release in the past 5 years, /v/ just gets a million garbage threads about the same fucking game for a month straight

Just wait until Metroid Prime World releases. Nintendo has invented this revolutionary new video game genre called "open world", and all their games will incorporate it now.
