Hi everyone! How are you...

*see the haikus and ****posts*

Your new signature is the stuff of nightmares and laughs.

Why?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

, I only have one sentence to say: rest in peace, unified software library.

This is, literally, my only problem with Nintendo's business practices. It kinda sucks being a Mario, Zelda, or overall Nintendo fan because so far we've had to by two systems no matter what. Even if we don't need it for other games, that one Mario or one Zelda will pull us in to buy it.

 

[Mythzotick]

I've got mixed feelings on possibly paying anywhere between $17-26 yearly for the Switch's online.

While it does suck that playing on a Nintendo platform will no longer be free like you can on 3DS and Wii U, at least it won't be near as expensive as paying $60 a year for xbox live. Though that more than likely means the online services won't be as good either.

A 3DS successor would be necessary and unnecessary at the same time. It's necessary because Nintendo is a business and should the Switch end up failing, they can fall back on to other hardware, and it's unnecessary because the Switch can already be taken on the go, but considering it's being marketed as a home console, I suppose it would make sense.

Should this system end up coming to fruition, I only have one sentence to say: rest in peace, unified software library.

NO NO NO NO NO

Don't do this.

Give the Switch a unified library.

Providing an alternative to the Switch that takes its own niche is sending one of them out to die.

Nintendo, if you have any brains. Don't do this.

I kinda wonder if that was his way of saying "don't worry, we have a contingency plan if the Switch somehow bombs". But the way it came across is going to lead to a lot of people reading it a different way...

If I recall correctly, Nintendo did make statements on how the GameBoy line was not going to be made absolute by the DS around that time. Of course, the DS was a huge success and we never saw a successor to the GBA with GameBoy branding.

Today's statement kinda echos the past. If the Switch is a success, I'd imagine the DS line going out the way. We'll just wait and see on that. With the new FE game coming on there this year, there's at least some support left for the thing.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Kimishima is expecting the Switch to sell as much as the Wii did.

Well good luck with that one.

He predicted the Wii U would sell badly, so I'm willingly to give him the benefit of a doubt

I hope so, but this seems something like the dumb Nintendo would do.

I'm hoping the smart Nintendo would be smart about this.

Oh. The 3DS has some life in it left.

But if they went and made a 3DS2 with the Switch on the market, one of them is going to fail big time.

That's pretty much how I see it. A safety net in case the Switch doesn't perform well.

What if the Switch somehow ends up failing and they've discontinued 3DS production by then... they'd have no hardware to fall back on. It'd be a good thing in that regard.

But it'd be pointless at the same time because the Switch already exists and can also function as a handheld, even though it's being marked as a home console. However we have to take into account that this would be a cheaper platform that would be marketed differently from the Switch, so I suppose that would attract customers.

Spoiler: non-haiku version

there is nothing here

Spoiler: for real this time

man if all this time gets spent building up this fed with triple H only to have Rollins get injured and miss ANOTHER Wrestlemania it would be terrible

Raw would lose all the momentum it's had over the past few weeks and that would suck

Tried finding HA cleffa line without having to transfer one.. never again lol not even going to shiny hunt for one through SOS.. I had to heal my Pokemon because of Sing multiple consecutive turns, waste a few turns having my own Pokemon attack itself because Sweet kiss. Then when I found a HA clefairy I tried to weaken it then it called for help and got a cleffa.. so I try to kill it off but Clefairy wanted me to kill it with follow me and I had to find another one.. -_- I eventually caught a ha cleffa through a vulpix with hypnosis (2nd try because it woke up after I switched out Vulpix -_-) and took out the other one so I could catch the one I wanted in a beast ball

But at that point they are competing with themselves.

They are no longer going after two different niches.

They throwing two things at the same niche.

To be serious, I hope this is just a "covering their bases" tactic in which Kimishima is posing should the Switch be unsuccessful, a 3ds successor can act as a fallback to mitigate the damage, rather than them actually going forward with a console/portable and a portable portable. Which is super ********.

Because a true 3ds successor just takes away from and is superfluous next to the Switch. Moreover, it impedes upon the consolidated library which is something we could otherwise count on to alleviate droughts and add volume to the library even in the face of paltry third-party support. Plus on a personal level it was one of the aspects of the Switch of which I was most looking forward to.

I'm embarrassed now. Embarrass

Myself trying to maintain more level-headed and optimistic analysis of the Switch, I'm going to speculate what I think Nintendo's Year 1 aim is.

Basically, I think they're aiming for a sort of tiered approach. They've said that Day 1 is intended for their more dedicated crowd. I get the feeling that they're intending to ensure that the hardcore community doesn't eat into the casual community's potential sales by getting those purchases out of the way during the first half of the year so that Nintendo is free to judge how many units are needed during the holidays.

While their game approach is more intended to stave off droughts, it's also a bit interesting in the span of this. Zelda, Splatoon, and Mario are all likely to solely sell a system to some people to the point that they wouldn't pick one up without it, and they're spaced wide apart from each of each other. This also allows different crowds to not trample over each other and gives Nintendo more time to judge what demand there is for what game.

If the Switch starts faltering, then combined with Nintendo ordering only what they need at a time it gives them time to catch on to it earlier and figure out what needs to be done to fix it faster. If the Switch ends up becoming a runaway hit by some means, this makes it a little easier for them to keep up with it since there isn't quite as much fuel on the fire at once.

One thing to note is that they're still supporting the 3DS this year as a backup plan in case the Switch crumbles, as well as an option at another price point for those unwilling to purchase the Switch due to it's price being high by their own admission. I almost wonder if they would use the 3DS to buy time until the price for Switch parts lowers and they can sell the Switch for profit while still lowering it's price, considering the way people talk about how fast tech prices are dropping and Nintendo isn't grossly overbuying Switch parts the way they did Wii U parts.

Interestingly, despite not having quite the full brunt of their teams moved over yet, the first ten months of the Switch still have more high profile first party support than the equivalent on the Wii U and 3DS combined. I mean. . .somehow I doubt Nintendoland and Steel Diver are as much of a lure as Zelda, Mario, and Splatoon, never mind that even a Mario Kart port and more niche titles like Xenoblade and Fire Emblem Warriors have more oomph to them than offerings like that. And for those that want a multiplayer minigame collection or something more experimental, you still get 1-2-Switch and ARMS.

I think the point that we'll really start to see what the Switch has to offer for us is in 2018, possibly shown off at E3 to an extent this year although since most of the already revealed titles are post-E3 they might give most of the above games the majority of the screen time and wait until a later Direct to share more or fully show later things off. I think 2018 will be the point that A. The majority of the 3DS teams start finally putting titles onto the Switch should it not have completely flopped and B. That teams with games that are taking a bit longer or were shelved to prioritize Year 1's offerings will begin to release their output.

If Nintendo can increase their output from what they already are giving us, the Switch could be very interesting, and there's still enough teams unaccounted for that I can see that happening.

But for now, it's Nintendo's job to advertise the system in the meanwhile. They seem to be stockpiling their resources in punches, only advertising either to their own community or in extremely mainstream single instance bursts. I imagine mainstream advertising outside of these bursts probably will not start until the determined core gamer adoption phase is deemed over, as Nintendo has stated they want to spend less on advertising and more subtle attempts seem like they wouldn't be that fruitful until Nintendo actually could guarantee that they have systems to offer. I'm interested to see what kind of impact the Superbowl ad will have on the Switch's demand.

Why is it that this thread is "The switch is going to be a success!" for a bit, and then shortly after flip to "The switch is going to fail!" the next? It seems to really flip flop between the two.

On one hand, this makes me nervous.

On the other hand, I looked it up and while pricing wasn't the issue, they literally said they were making a GBA successor alongside the DS. So it's actually not as far from third pillar talk as it sounds.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-ds-not-game-boy-advances-successor/1100-6086771/

Either way, unified library is still going to be a thing to some extent because they're already crossporting the heck out of everything even on vastly different system structures and they said that they'd make their systems' techs more similar to each other anyway.

I guess his back sprite does have it. It just looks weird from the front when you could see his old sprites with it from the front

So um Miyamoto said that any game made with a PC can be ported on the Switch in a year.

http://nintendoeverything.com/miyam...base-can-be-ported-to-switch-in-about-a-year/

Not into Overwatch myself, but I hope that's implying something big. Half Life or TF2 would be asking for too much since I already enjoy them on Steam.

Most have jokingly interpreted it as it will take one year for a game to get ported.

This is good news for those who want to play Steam games on Switch, I guess.
