Eh, it’s a classic situation where the negative folks are the loudest. Also probably because those of us actually excited about it, got ours on Friday, and have been too busy to bother posting about it online anywhere. :)

Because making a choice between a HDTV and health care for yourself or your family is insanely self-centered. It’s basically giving the middle finger to the rest of society saying “I want what I want, and I want everybody else to take care of me if something goes wrong. I don’t want to have to take care of myself. I…

I’m not sure if it’s bad math or just poor display of the data available. But the numbers in the article would suggest that the Wii and Wii U sold around 150,000 per day, while the Switch only sold about 110,000 per day. It says the data for the Switch was based on 3 days, while the Wii/Wii U numbers are only based on…

My hands are at 7.25"

That same conversation will go WAY differently by the end of this year, or through 2018. I’m not just being a Nintendo fan-boy about this, but it annoys me that people act like the situation is supposed to be different with the Switch. There’s ample evidence out there to demonstrate how the Switch has an actually very…

I’m sorry, but you failed to include ANY substantial words to explain your condescension on your fellow gamers.

Well yeah, right now that’s the case, but that’s because most ‘non-gamers’ don’t pay attention to the initial launch, and there aren’t a significant number of games yet. Also, all of us ‘hardcore’ Nintendo fans snapped up the pre-orders as soon as we could, and there aren’t available for the more casual crowd. But…

The preconceived bias in this article is kinda yelling at me the whole time. I find this unfortunate, and perhaps it’s just an issue of being responsible to write a review, and not be able to simply enjoy the machine.

If you move the USB-C port to a location that is more conducive to charging while in hand-held mode, then how do you make sure it connects properly when in the dock?

Nintendo has indicated that the dock has proprietary technology, and therefore, you are required to use it for transmitting a signal via HDMI from the USB-C port. So all signs point to not being able to to use a USB-C to HDMI cable.

All consoles have had these issues in their first couple of years. The Xbox One had no backwards compatibility for 8 months, and the only 1st party title (i.e. released by Microsoft Studios) was a mostly forgettable game. A Halo game (which was the original Xbox’s claim to fame and what I would consider analogous to…

I’m not surprised, and frankly, I’m really excited by it.

I still have my ‘spice’ orange Gamecube controller! I couldn’t even tell you the last time I used it, but I can’t bear to part with it. :)

Ugh....I have an Xbox1S, as most of the ‘exclusive’ titles I wanted to play over the last few years were on that platform. And we already have a Switch pre-ordered. But I WANT TO PLAY THIS. Trying to work out a short-term swap with a buddy of mine who has a PS4, but wants to play Gears of War 4. Maybe we’ll trade…

Exactly this. I put off and put off upgrading to the Wii U, hoping they would figure out the amazing ways to use the game pad. So many GREAT missed opportunities. A Metroid game where you held up the game pad to the screen to enter X-Ray vision mode? They did it with the simple port of the one Batman game. But I’d…

Try doing some math first. Reported cost for 30 second ad for the Super Bowl: $5 million dollars. Reported pre-sales of the Switch available on March 3: 2 million. So by not doing that ad, they could give $2.50 to each Switch owner. Cue eye-rolling.

The more I see about this Switch launch, the more I’m convinced Nintendo is forcing an early soft launch. I think they found themselves wanting to put Zelda on the Switch as a launch title, but they didn’t want to delay Zelda’s release until Fall 2017. So they are soft-launching the console now. They know that they…

Welcome to every other new generation of console purchases, I suppose. I used to have 4 Gamecube controllers. I ended up owning 4 Wii remotes instead. And I’ve had 4 Xbox controllers at one time or another.

Yeah....exactly....”not currently compatible” is very different from “won’t be compatible”. You basically repeated the point I was making, and then still jumped to the wrong conclusion. Besides, compatibility with Wii U controllers is not necessary if you can play the games with the included JoyCons. Everyone at the…

See, I really don’t think the whole “switching between modes” thing will be an issue. The dock essentially upscales the video feed. No different than how Blu-Ray players have been doing it for some time now. Nintendo already mentioned at some other point that the CPU runs at a standard level for the tablet mode, and…
