The proportions, the dot eyes, the hair being in undetailed clumps giving it a sculpted feel, and the shininess that is there evokes a plastic shine. For clarity's sake, I don't think any of this is a bad thing. I love this design! But it does feel toylike to me.What about him looks toylike in your opinion? He has no joints only a bit of shine and you know he looks like his sprite counterpart?
If the next console launched at $100 more than the Switch launched at, with a contemporary and commensurate increase in power for the price, it would still be $100 cheaper than the current (standard) Playstation and Xbox (series X) launched at, neither of which are generally considered to be priced out of being "available to everyone".mmm nah

I do not think you can see what I see. If you were selling me a Switch 2 rn, id be hopping over to get a Series X instead for the same price as the Switch OLED, which at this point is superior in everything that isn’t exclusives. I will agree to disagree, pls understand.mmm nah
gaming being available to everyone > it becoming a rich persons hobby
I beg to differPlaystation and Xbox (series X) launched at, neither of which are generally considered to be priced out of being "available to everyone".
Which is why I said "generally considered" and not "your opinion". The launch MSRP of both systems was not a huge sticking point as it has been in the past for systems like the PS3, or even the 3DS. In fact, given the known specs, the prices actually came in towards the lower end of expectations.I beg to differ
that was entirely the pointI'm certainly not saying everyone can afford a system no problem
But that's true of Switch as wellthat was entirely the point
I never said what the available to everyone option was. I never once said that it wasn’t true of the switch. I could barely afford to get a replacement when I needed one.But that's true of Switch as well
The options you laid out were "gaming being available to everyone" and "it becoming a rich persons hobby".
No gaming system is available to everyone because not everyone has the requisite funds for a luxury item like a video game console. On the other hand, the PS5 and the XSX are not priced so highly that they are solely considered "a rich person's hobby". They're not high-end gaming PCs.
You defined your terms in two extremes, so your point was that increasing the price would move the console from one to the other. And that's not true. But your revised point is also not true, because not everyone can afford the "available to everyone" option no problem either.
It doesn't really matter what your terms are, because by the industry standard, no current consoles were considered prohibitively priced at launch, and the Switch successor would likely have to really go up in its launch price from the last one to cause a significant level of dissent.I never said what the available to everyone option was.

so basically you’re annoyed with my choice of words?It doesn't really matter what your terms are, because by the industry standard, no current consoles were considered prohibitively priced at launch, and the Switch successor would likely have to really go up in its launch price from the last one to cause a significant level of dissent.
There are those to whom the price difference between the Nintendo system and the others is decisive, and there are those who cannot afford any system at all, but the "rich person exclusive strata" does not kick in between Switch and PS5/XSX, as in it is only in the houses of the rich you would find a current gen Playstation or XSX.
If it did, that would be a failure of Sony and MS's intentions. In part because Nintendo is not considered the "standard" of the console industry, the other two are. Nintendo is the unorthodox one.
There are several rungs on the socioeconomic ladder that own one of those two systems, it's not just right at the top.
Logically it will have him, after all he is the brother of Nintendo's mascot Mario.I hope the next smash brothers has Luigi in it
Word choice? No, you created a dichotomy without a middle-ground. You can use whatever words you want to describe the extremes, the problem is, you only gave the extremes as options. Either everybody or the elite.so basically you’re annoyed with my choice of words?
That’s your problem? Did it ever occur that it wasn’t intended to be an accurate depiction of the class system?Word choice? No, you created a dichotomy without a middle-ground. You can use whatever words you want to describe the extremes, the problem is, you only gave the extremes as options. Either everybody or the elite.
If you want to walk that back, the problem isn't word choice, it's eliminating the entire mid-section, which is where all the home consoles reside.
I'm normally not much of an optimist, but I have to imagine they're going to do something about that. Nintendo's going to delay the system until they can guarantee the sticks don't drift, because that happening again could actually kill the system.Honestly, more than anything I just want the next system to have a controller that doesn't end up necessitating several class action lawsuits due to production flaws.
Then buy a different console.good crossplay and healthy, competitive market > “cheap” scalped switch 2 for 4x the selling price
I believe this was directed atThen buy a different console.
2 companies are already doing that crap. I much prefer the way Nintendo tries to do it's own thing instead of trying to compete directly with those other 2.
That happens to me every few months now. I have to completely unplug everything (including the dock) for 10 minutes or so and plug it back in and that usually works. I’ve gone through 4 Switch Pro controllers that all became unusable due to drift so now I have an adapter to just use my PS4 controllers on the Switch instead.I'm normally not much of an optimist, but I have to imagine they're going to do something about that.

As an aside, has anyone else heard of an issue where your switch doesn't register joycons attached? My switch stopped accepting left joycons a few years back, so I haven't been able to use the switch as a handheld since about 2020. I have no idea if that's a common bug or my switch being ****ed up, but regardless I really hope the Switch 2 doesn't have to deal with that either.
Nintendo made a lot of weird decision in the past, but honestly I'd be shocked if the next console is not hybrid. People always bring the argument that "but Nintendo has precedent to do totally different consoles, so their next console must be something totally different", but that's totally forgetting the context behind each console changes:I think that they are going to at least keep the hybrid system format, as it has both proven itself successful and it saves Nintendo money on not having to create a dedicated handheld console.
I admired the direction… in 2006. Nintendos own thing currently feels like one step forward and the next step tripping on their shoelace three steps back. We’ll see, whenever the console is revealed. I hope the technology has advanced greatly between 2017 to now.Then buy a different console.

It's going to be a PS4-level Switch.We’ll see, whenever the console is revealed. I hope the technology has advanced greatly between 2017 to now.
my money's on "the swutch"I just hope they call a hypothetical Switch sequel something really stupid like "The Nintendo Switcheroo".
One thing I like about new Nintendo is carts instead of discs still. Pretty good way to save space and re-modernize physical copies.It's going to be a PS4-level Switch.
Nintendo is always a gen behind, and that's the way they like it. Lower costs, and now, added portability.
Chain of MemoriesSo, question: you guys know how a lot of GBA games around the 2000’s got an anime? If you could pick any to make an anime adaptation of, which one(s) would you pick? For me:
- Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
- WarioWare
- Tomato Adventure
Sonic X had a small tournament arc with Elmer as an important part of it.Sonic Battle
i'm not sure but i think he said he likes three houses more than engageDear Nintendo:
Thank you for Fire Emblem: Three Houses!
Being a fan of the GameCube and Wii games I was strongly anticipating the transition to the next home version.
I will admit here and now that Smash prevented me from becoming interested. Had Engage come first, yes it'd have worked because it matches the gameplay tempo better. Think back to your earliest game experience where you had a chance to try something new only to decide the game you had was still better.
Now that Smash is in jts "twilight" (dusk?) I am replaying 3H to the point I actually (Finally!) don't just want to go back to Smash all day lol. (Like fr 6 hrs is a lot...). And it's great! The pictures move now all these characters snapping to life with storytelling cues from the camera pans, just wow such an accomplishment for the series. If your handheld titles become playable on NSO I'm sure I'll try them out once I've played 3H to death (1000+hrs into Radiant Dawn it was my sleeping pill lol). After that I can give Engage a real try, without the specter of "but your Jokah thooo" looming behind every chapter.
Sincerely yours,
Me
That does seem to be the general consensus...i'm not sure but i think he said he likes three houses more than engage
Should there have been more echo fighters in Smash? pic.twitter.com/Fs010niyvN

I'm not sure if it would have been too early for Octoling (the Inkling was largely based on Splatoon 1, from what I recall, and Octolings weren't playable until Splatoon 2's DLC, though there was interest in seeing that happen beforehand), but they felt like they would have been a natural inclusion, either as a free update to Smash Ultimate or a cheaper DLC.I only wish the Echoes were more unique like Ken, and that Shadow and Alph were among them.Should there have been more echo fighters in Smash? pic.twitter.com/Fs010niyvN
