Nintendo are gearing up for a huge year, surely their biggest in the last decade; with the Wii U not selling as Nintendo wished and while the 3DS is selling a fair amount but nothing close to the original DS; Nintendo have it all to do.
Agheil - "The Nintendo NX is fast approaching and if you haven’t decided if you should get one or not, here's one reason why."
My only reason... Smash bros. What? They're porting over Sm4sh from Wii U since they make smash sequels after 5 years and it's only been 2?......ok nvm I think I'll wait until switch 2(?)
That one reason people dont mention as much because we're all to focused on power at the moment ...
Ok, I get your point but power is something you need along with good games. Gamers that focus so much on power are fanboys trying to outdo the other side hahah
To wit; "Get it if your friends are getting it, so you can play with your friends."
As good a reason as any; Mario Kart is a blast, as will be many of the other games that hit the Switch. Sharing that love of games with buddies is a good thing that goes beyond loyalties to a brand.
It's because of my best friend that I got a PS2 and 3 for games like Ar Tonelico, Borderlands, and Kingdom Hearts, so I can personally testify to it being a good reason to open up to a console.
But I don't really agree with the bit after that...
I know the guy in the vid says this vid isn't for multi-console owners, but IMO, if someone has a job that can support saving up over several months for any console at all, especially ones that are more expensive, then there's no reason they can't include the Switch in that mindset.
Just keep an eye out on the exclusives and other games that come to it, and if you see at least three that you would have fun playing, then tell your buddies you're getting one.
They might get one too, and you can share the love of the games on it.
Don't let quibbling little b****-fit details like specs stop you from getting a system.
I got the PS2 despite it being weaker than the Gamecube, and I didn't regret it at all.
I know that not everyone is at the point where they can easily get more than one console, but there are Christmas's and Birthdays every year. Lean upon those that would pay attention to your wish lists.XD
You don't have to be rich to afford more than one console, and you'll be a much more well-rounded gamer for it.
He was just saying that because people who have enough money to get all the console don't have to choose. He wasn't saying they shouldn't consider a switch.
excited...never been excited since the N64 :D
Only wished the dock had a drive so I can play Xenoblade :( (bought it after I gave my wiiU away) and it's still sealed lol, hoping the NX would be backwards but oh well downloadable it is then :D
I don't think it will be backwards compatible. Even digitally because of the small size of the internal HD that's been rumoured.

Another great video..I think if chris would see this you see maybe even Chris could change his mind, you would wonder maybe have a different opinion on practically vs visual aesthetics.
https://youtu.be/sr8SbLgHkz...
That was 2015..I think if you get hands on I think the functionality over visual aesthetics I think Nintendo's Switch has such in spades..
Example: if you take a look at the Nintendo Switch and Nvidia's shield design.
https://www2.nvidia.com/en-...
As you can see by having the controller being able to be removed off the tablet allows you to use the Switch's kickstand tablet feature like such but when you take it with you, where do you put a off the sides controller? Of course you have to carry the external controller like a MOGA Pro in a bag etc...but with switch's design your system allows you to take your controller attached to the system and use it like a Archos Game pad or a wikipad.

Or Archos Game pad 2

If you take both designs the ability to take the controller off the sides vs non removable game controller game tablet design than its I think it is more of a practical design to set up on a desk and play it like a normal tablet with physical external controller used with a tablet system to game.
Holding your game tablet like a handheld for gaming could get heavy, but setting it on a hard surface and just play anywhere I think the concept of switch is very viable on not just to Mobile to TV , but include a mobile portable living room game console experience anywhere , table or floors does not matter, with a multiplayer esk control setup one controller per side ,with any other person do not happen to have a controller for Multi-Player here a mini full controller for Multi-Player mario Kart.. Bulky external controllers take up more space..this way you can carry two separate controllers.. Joy cons are small enough & able to be two separate or combined to connect to make one single controller on a external controller.
Switch is more so on variable functionality over visual aesthetics in my opinion..the visual aesthetics can come later for colors and design additional artwork.
Again great video.
@joeorc Thanks for the info! I'll definitely pass it a long to Chris! Thanks again for checking out our videos! Really glad you're enjoying them. If you have any suggestions, just let us know. We are always trying to improve!
Joeorc, first let me applaud you for taking the time to research and provide links to support your thoughts. Since you put so much effort in, I have looked at each of the links. Well done.
I will say that I don't agree with you. What I was saying, and still stand by, is that I think the system is ugly. That's not to say that it isn't practical or useful. In fact, I would probably agree most with the idea of long sessions with the machine on a kickstand. I play games on my iPad where isn't on a stand and I'm just using touch, but if I had to try and use controllers while in that same position, it would be undesireable. I think Nintendo knows that as well, and like you said, are much more concerted with practicality in design rather than cosmetics in design.
I will, once again, say that I will buy the Switch on day one (if they have cloud saves) no matter what it looks like. Also, until any of us go hands on, it's hard to know just how good (or bad) the system looks and how convenient that it is. What we do know is that Nintendo has a track record of releasing very well made and functioning hardware, so until they prove otherwise, the Switch shouldn't be any different.
Thanks again or your feedback. We love to see the community get involved. Also, thanks for watching....and done worry, my many, many other issues with Switch will be discussed isn't he coming weeks! :)

Thank you both for your great responses and I think Nintendo is growing it's Adoption of new network and really is embracing the concepts that Microsoft & Sony have invested into for a more unified network gaming structure ..well I have high hopes that it is.
Jay, Frank, Alex, Anthony and Mike crawl into the love sack to talk about Pokemon, Far Cry Primal, Fire Emblem Fates, NX rumors, bad pie, Wii cravings, and the worst kind of salad.
1. sell it for $299 and be as powerful as the ps4.
2. make it region free.
3. keep online multiplayer free.
4. launch the system with zelda and a brand new 3d mario game.
5. every 3 months have a aaa exclusive game come out either by nintendo or a third party publisher or partners with nintendo.
6. have the system launch with a standard controller.
7. make sure all major publishers support it and make it easy to port games like the new call of duty, assassins creed ect.
Launch with a new 3D Mario game that is more SM64 type and less galaxy/3D world (Big and mysterious hub but closed off levels for lots of platforming and wall jumping opportunities) and have it be lush and atmospheric by making it not just a graphical showcase for the system, but raises the bar of 3D game presentation for the entire generation. Also give the levels rich and varied tone (even SM64 gave you a spook during the haunted house levels/3rd bowser battle level) http://www.superluigibros.c...

Iwata before he sadly passed did say that he wants Nintendo to have a steady flow of titles, so that there isn't long gaps between games like there is with the Wii U and 3DS!
How should Nintendo launch NX? Quickly!
