Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

Reggie's statement about the launch
“Launch day is not the be-all and the end-all. It really is the steady pacing of content that continually reinforces for the people who bought into the platform why they made a smart choice, as well as what compels people who might be sitting on the sidelines to jump in. We feel we have this great ongoing march of content to motivate you to jump into the platform.”

Reggie's statement about the paid online
“People have taken shots at us for that. The reality is, the way that online experiences have progressed, it’s an expensive proposition. The amount of servers we need to support Smash Brothers or Mario Kart — these big multiplayer games — is not a small investment. There are no friend codes within what we’re doing.”

Woomy is something Inklings say, Splatoon=Woomy

WAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIT.

I just realized.

Reggie just soft-confirmed not having friend codes.

. . .AND Smash Bros.

Well, I see that there's an audience for the Switch at the very least

"Woomy Kart, only 3 characters and a battle mode stage, buy now for 49.99!"

Well, Playstation peeps tend to laugh at both Sonic and Nintendo for being "kiddy."

Meanwhile Playstation doesn't even have any first party games I want and I'm pretty happy I'm not missing any Sonic games on the Switch, so. . .at least I'm a Sonic fan in the Nintendo specific audience, yeah.

While it's true Sonic games do tend to do better on Nintendo platforms, views (and like/dislike rations) aren't a good way to determine that. You also have to look at context (the Nintendo views are coming off of the high of a new console) and that trailers in general do worse on the console channel vs the game's channel. For example, Battlefield 1 has 51 million views on it's channel but only 200 thousand on the Playstation channel. That doesn't mean people on Playstation aren't interested in Battlefield 1 (it's one of the top 10 best selling games there) but that most people viewed it on the Battlefield channel instead.

No Friend Codes is huge and thankful.

Reggie is right about launch.

PS3, Xbox One and 3DS all made comebacks.

That Smash Bros soft confirm.

YOU DID NOT JUST SMACK TALK CHOCOBOS

 

[Kurri ★]

Didn't we not have friend codes for Wii U?

 

[praline]

I was gonna get Mario Kart Deluxe until I learned that we won't be getting new tracks...

That really is lame.

But they basically said in the treehouse stream that there was more not shown that'll be in the full game.

 

[Kurri ★]

Nah, he's talking about a different giant bird.

They're ****ing huge

 

[SkywardStriker16]

Also, have we confirmed the final death of Wii/Wii U Remotes and Classic/Pro Controllers?
I'm pretty sure they're incompatible already, but I'm just making sure.

...and WHERE are the Miis?!

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I generally prefer to get Sonic games on Nintendo platforms, assuming they're equal to the other versions.

I'm getting Mania on PS4 because I ordered the collector's edition (though I may consider double dipping for the Switch version). And depending if the Switch version is as good as the others, I'll get Project 2017 there.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Here lies Kurri
She never bought a Wii U

If I were talking about Chocobos I'd have called them such, sweetheart.

That Smash Bros soft confirm.

PS3's comeback is just due to massive price drop and PS Plus deals like crazy.

Also once Switch hits a big price drop to like $199.99, it's gonna start pushing units.

However Japan's is gonna be one that matters the most

 

[Swamp Sensei]

She's right though.

We didn't have friend codes on Wii U.

 

[Kurri ★]

What game required friend codes?

I remember inputting NNIDs not Friend Codes

 

[A Distant Demon]

No old controller will work with Switch.

Just new stuff

And Miis were seen on switch UI so we know they are back

That's the same ****ing thing honestly. It's like saying you prefer pepsi over coke

I just realized.

PS3 cost twice as much at launch as the Switch is going to.

That doesn't necessarily speak the best for the Switch's pricing, but it's kind of hilarious for the PS3's.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

I don't know. One's a randomly generated static set of numbers and the other a customizable, ideally easy-to-remember moniker. Seems pretty different to me.

Oh those birds, the big mother****ers?

 

[praline]

Coke and Pepsi taste different though.

 

[Wolfie557]

Pepsi will never beat ice-cold Cola from a glass bottle.

But they're not though. You choose your own NNID, and it's not a ***** to remember or share.

I am beginning to wonder if I should make a list of Smash related mentions or hints throughout the next 6 or so weeks leading up to the Switch's release with each day possibly bringing something new excluding January 12th and January 13th as those were when the presentation was airing and we were adjusting to all the new content.

For example:

January 14th: Dutch retailer puts up a listing for a Smash Bros game on the Switch; is a credible source due to leaking the controllers for the Switch.

January 15th: Reggie hints in his interview that both Mario Kart AND Smash Bros. needs to run on a lot of servers, which could excuse the sake of paying for online as they are improving their servers. Friend codes are also mentioned to be gone, but that's a smaller fact.

What do you guys think?

 

[praline]

Oh those birds, the big mother****ers?

Yeah they're terrifying.

Pepsi will never beat ice-cold Cola from a glass bottle.

Nah they're both gross.

Here is a survey, some people are sending all over to gauge thoughts on the Switch.

It's getting a lot of votes.

So please add some more.

That said, here are the results.

Results are better than I thought they'd be.

I've said this before, but... To be fair, those didn't have much completion at launch. When when they did their competition was also lackluster, besides the PS3. But the PS3 at least was a sequel to the PS2 which is the best selling console of all time.(And wasn't a one time trend like the wii.)
Heck, the X Box One had a terrible launch but it's been catching up with the PS4 recently.

But the thing is that the Switch is extremely late to the party that by the time it finally gets momentum the next generation of consoles may come.

Not to say it's necessarily good though, though it probably would be if it weren't for the portable aspect TBH. As long as they focus on that hopefully it can do decently, if not great.

well one is possably fake (? I didnt follow this much) and the other is probably him giving examples

but go for it

 

[Autumn ♫]

Pepsi Vs Coke?

Clearly Pepsi, not only does it taste better, but it also has the better mascot and super hero.

Which Dutch retailer is this anyway? Even then it's a fake leak for getting Odyssey wrong

And I just realized @Shishœ got cucked HARD. First Nintendo makes a new IP that can be called EO and now the video game people think of with 'Odyssey' is Mario. "Fire Emblem: Etrian Kingdom" or something when?

Thats a good idea. But don't get your hopes up.

FFXV has the original OST as cruising music!?

This post from the Nintendo Switch reddit should give you more information on the origins:

They're both alright, but when it comes down to soda drinks, I favor the one and only.

Meme drink best drink.

FFXV has music from every Final Fantasy as cruising music as well as some original tracks.

Also, can I just say that Pepsi is ****ing blasphemy. Coke is so much better.

Reminder that friend codes were represneted the one of the most clunky ways of online:

Each game that used the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection generated a unique twelve-digit Friend Code that could be exchanged with friends and be used to maintain individual friend lists in each game. Though certain games could be played online without a Friend Code, a Friend Code was required to play with a specific person. Friend Codes were generated from an identifier unique to a copy of a game and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID of a DS or Wii system. Using a different copy of a game or loading the same copy in a different system generated a new Friend Code.[9] If users wanted to become "Friends", they had to mutually add Friend Codes and be authenticated as Friends once both of them were online. Nintendo introduced these features as conscious steps to preserve users' privacy. If a DS or Wii game was sold, but not the system, there was no risk of the purchaser impersonating the seller. If a user needed to replace his or her DS system, then the old system's Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID could be transferred wirelessly, in order to maintain the user's original Friend Codes on the new machine. Some games required that the user had to use Friend Codes to use any online functionality.

Many games have additional features that are enabled between registered friends. These may include customized matchmaking options, cooperative play, friend lists, text chat, and voice chat. Certain Wii games use the 16-digit Wii Number to share some data passively between mutually registered users via WiiConnect24 instead of using independent Friend Codes. Although, some of these games may use both the 16-digit Wii Number and its own 12-digit Friend Code, depending on whether the online connectivity requires either passive data-sharing or active multiplaying respectively.

From Wikipedia. Thank whatever deity you believe or don't believe in for NNIDs.

This game just gets better and better.

Oh since someone mentioned Coke vs Pepsi: I need only to bow to the true king of Colas
