Nintendo Shares fall following the presentation of Switch

Apparently not everyone was satisfied with the presentation of Nintendo Switch. Having just completed the presentation conference for the new of console of the Big N, it has begun to report that the shares of Nintendo in the Japan stock exchange fell in a notorious way.

[Gaming_Cousin]

Microsoft and Nintendo seem to have their head up their a**. They make gaming consoles but don't make games their priority. Like I get that Nintendo is trying to be innovative and crap but this is their reveal and the 1-2 Switch game is the most anti gaming 'video game' I have ever seen. Next installment they should have a console that comes with a checkerboard.

[Erik7357]

No, I think this console looks amazing and am getting it day one.

Love how they are bringing couch co op back and the launch seems stronger than ps4/xbox one's launch.

Zelda at launch? Please don't tell me your shitty Knack or Ryse beats that

[Nitrowolf2]

Isnt it just like 4 confirmed games for launch? Correct me if Im wrong, but regardless with how big Zelda is that doesnt exactly spell a strong launch.

1-2-Switch - March 3
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - March 3
Skylanders Imaginators - March 3
Just Dance 2017 - March 3
For comparison this was the ps4 games at launch.

Sure none are no zelda, but some of those are still some great title like resogun.
And lets not go into how many third party games are releasing in March that wont be on the switch.

I mean, you Are talking about a game that was ported over from last gen, promised to release on a product that Nintendo said they would back only to kill off. Forcing people to get switch for a new zelda game. And if it is still coming to the Wii U, that even makes it look weaker IMO.
Edited - it is still coming to the Wii U, and as a wii u owner who had faith in the system the lineup gives me no reason to buy a switch orher than to resell it when its out of stock.

One potentially amazing game doesnt make its launch lineup great, because people like diversity and the other titles arent exactly what many would call strong.

Least ps4 and X1 had a strong third party presence. Yeah you can say "who cares about third party games", well a lot of people do and this is just spelling Wii U again. Big hitters released throughout huge haps of no games.

And lets not go into how couch co op was being marketted. "Player face to face interaction, no screen needed". Doesnt that defeat the purpose? I mean cant i already do that, right now this moment grab a stick and pretend its a gun and play cops vs robbers?

Will see how the switch does with all this bragging you're doing here...

[Protagonist]

@Erik7357

The switch is competing with the current state of PS4 and Xbox One, not when they launched... get a grip dude.

[badz149]

of course they will have Zelda at launch this time around considering the game was originally announced for the Wii U, held from release to make the Switch version. it's basically a last gen Nintendo game ported to their next gen.

[cash_longfellow]

Don't complain when it's collecting dust at the same time next year then.

[dadano]

Well if i think that a possible ps4slim + Horizon bundle May cost 250€ and a weaker Switch with pro Controller and Zelda around 500€ and No games...i Love Nintendo but the pricing ist a Joke, the joycon a wiimote, No games and my TV ist 4k. ill Play Zelda in my Wii u

[zaherdab]

Well you can look at it as a Zelda at launch but i see it as the reason i bought the WII U when the WII U is dead... it would be the same of Sony kept delaying horizon zero dawn until ps5 releases ... now wouldn't that be an accomplishment an awesome game at launch of the PS5 ...

[Neonridr]

pretty sure they demonstrated a wide variety of games coming. Some are completely out in left field, others will be more traditional. But don't say that Nintendo didn't show off games. Just because they aren't called Call of Duty or Destiny doesn't mean they don't count.

[Gh05t]

They showed of teasers for games and most of them where meh at best. When I buy a Nintendo console its not for Call of Duty its for Nintendo IP and they showed of BotW (SEEN IT ALREADY) and Mario and splatoon if that is your thing, then they start with a 1 2 switch and Arms (GTFO!) it should have been full of IP. Classic characters that everyone wants to delve back in. I would have rather had a bunch of teaser trailers to Kirby, Donky Kong, Smash Bros, Star Fox, Pikmin, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Metroid, Golden Sun or a new Luigi, Waluigi or Wario game. The closest we got to these was a teaser for Fire Emblem. and a bunch of stuff nobody asked for.

I am all for diversity, but if you cant come out of the gate strong with your own franchises and are wasting time making Arms a full game rather than a comes prepackaged with the console, I have no faith in the company and I hate the direction they have been headed for a long time. I was really hoping to come back to Nintendo with the switch, its just not for me, at least I know this now but it still sucks and is sad because I wanted to like it.

[LOL_WUT]

I don't understand why they invited developers who are only in the concept stages of developing their games talking about they have games for the Switch LOL. ;)

[Amplitude]

@LOL_WUT

My fav part was

"lets SWITCH... to something else"
"hey guys. Were developing a game. It's gonna be good"
"Now lets SWITCH... to Skyrim!"

obviously not direct quotes but pretty damn close hahaha

[FallenAngel1984]

That was to be expected considering the various controversial things at the reveal

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Okay......investors just didn't get thei $200 price and mobile crap shoehorned into the Switch.

[LOL_WUT]

For what was shown $200 seems like a good price point ;)

[Derceto]

What a surprise. Hilariously lame reveal, shares fall. Shareholders must be so impressed right now.

[Pancit_Canton]

The stock holders are not amuse, same goes for the gamers.

[DashArrivals]

The Switch is going to flop so dramatically and it's not even funny. Paid online? That will seriously stop a lot of other console owners from buying a Switch. A lot of people do not want to pay for 2 subscriptions. The price of their peripherals are a joke also.
3 hours battery life on the go. 32gb internal memory. Nintendo are sh*tting the bed. This console is going down the toilet. It's just do damned sad.

[DanteVFenris666]

To be fair that's as much or less than a smart phone when playing an intensive game. Battery isn't the problem. It's the lack of third parties again that makes the switch feel so sparse between games. Like why release this thing so early? It's not in a releasable state. It has 4 games at launch. Of which most are ports.

However as a Nintendo fan I'm still buying it. I just want Nintendo to do better as I don't think this will convince the masses. More people on board hopefully mean more games.

[PGRfox]

That's because the presentation was HORRIBLE. Seriously, who approved that junk?? And the price? Way too high

[punctualdork]

"fell in a notorious way"

What does that even mean?

[Suzyp]

buy the rumor, sell the news, that is all.

[megamanxvolnutt]

Hopefully they recover. Despite this I still love Nintendo. Mario, Pokemon, and Super Smash Bros.. They screwed up big time with Star Fox though.
