Nintendo Switch

[BumblebeeCody*]

So I went to the Switch even over the weekend.

Here are some videos:





So my thoughts after watching the presentation and playing it.

Meh.

I'm gonna be honest, it feels like I'm in the Nintendo bubble again. There's a lot of promise about all these games and third party support but it just doesn't feel like it'll last and fizzle out again like with the Wii U. The console is honestly nothing that special despite having some nice specs, I can't see myself caring about the actual system. You'll get the high quality Nintendo titles like Mario and Zelda but that's always to be expected.

The controller really doesn't feel that good. Playing Arms I felt like there needed to be a better way of holding the controller. The "Bumper" buttons feel really off and so does the ZR and ZL buttons. What's worse is the right side controller. I played Sonic mania on that and wow, the analogue stick in the middle is incredibly un-intuitive. If you're on a two player game, you're gonna wanna grab controller side 1 since it's the lesser of two evils. 

I'm not excited for the system, but always excited to see what games come out. Same as always with Nintendo.

Just wanna make it clear, it's not that I think system is bad it's the "oh, another Nintendo system where they are doing their own thing....nice".


Oh and Breath of the Wild is amazing. Man I've been waiting for a good Zelda game for a long time and this is it. Just as a headsup, they were running the Wii U version on the Switch. It ran at sub 30fps and had severe frame drops. If you're getting the Wii U version, prepare to be disappointed.
