Putting aside the price, indie games like Issac or Setsuna that are already available on multiple platforms for quite some time aren't expected to be system-selling killer apps. Issac may be a good game but the Switch doesn't provide any unique feature (unlike if it has another screen or IR motion sensing control), any new content will surely be available on other platform soon (unless Nintendo pays them tons of money to keep that exclusive, but it's no Bayonetta). Setsuna isn't really a top quality rpg, if it's not a launch title, it won't be getting such attention (just look at its reception on ps4).

The fact that ppl are looking into these with desperate interest goes to show how limited the library is. Until the next big first party game (Mario, Splattoon etc), there's just nothing compelling, so much so that ppl have to be scrapping up ports like these.

Yes i agree that the Switch launch lineup is kinda thin. There is only 1 real system-selling game for now. Give them time. Nintendo has to build up their consumer base from scratch. This might be difficult due to the negative lingering effect left behind by the Wii U. If everyone adopt the let's wait and see attitude, the Switch will just become another Wii U. Developers love to make games for a system with large consumer base. If you all want more games, you have to first support the system (but i know a lot of you do not want to be guinea pig lah). Dont forget, The Wii sold more system than the PS3 =).

Lul. That's a wrong mentality. The companies want sales,.then do their best to attract gamers and not gamers blindly supporting them to ensure that they succeed. Many of us don't have shares in all these companies be it nintendone,.Pony, or microshaft. They closed down tomorrow also no impact.

new system. developers are still learning the ropes. for them to even rush their old titles out for launch already shows that porting/developing on the new console is quick.

those are good and important signs. but of course, if the performance of the ports are poor then that is a different story.:s13:

am I under the impression Zelda at most will only last a little bit more than 1-2 weeks and everyone's done with it and wanting something else to play already? :s13:


anyways. we are 11+ days away. I hope we have a little information here and there until launch day.

instead of reading the tea leaves.

back to stolen console.

The console's leak nonetheless provided some useful information in advance of the launch. The Switch comes with 32 GB of internal storage, and uses 6.1 GB of that for the operating system and other features. The NeoGAF user also showed off the console's main menu and some of its options, but no games.

the OS quite simplistic, can't even change wallpaper except for colours (I think). wonder what else is included in the OS.

ah. PS3 took 10% while PS4 took 93GB for OS. that's alright I guess. :o

Lineup really sucks but I will try to get it day 1 bec of botw. upcoming games in 2017 is fine. Mario kart, Mario odyssey. Arms. Splatoon. 3/5 will have online gameplay good enough to last till 2018. Hopefully All those heavy hitter will come out

Maybe it's from the devkit:crazy:
And devkit is normally more powerful

Bet Nintendo is going to full nuclear on this :s13:
