I only want animal crossing. Everything else can go suck a fat cock and burn.

Same here because those where some of the first consoles I played.

I played Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, SNES in that order.

I don't really remember the 2600 much because I was born after the NES released in North America but before my family got one. I think we got one in 1988 because we had Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt and that cartridge released in 1988.

I was born before the Atari 2600 so I'm an old fart and remember those early days well. My order was Atari 2600, NES, SNES, and Genesis. I passed on the Master System and got a Genesis after the SNES for the odd game that I was interested in such as Castlevania Bloodlines and  Contra Hard Corps.

I was born before the invention of the wheel. So wheel, Atari 2600, SMS, Genesis, SNES.

Raven, have you played Rise of the Tomb Raider.  You'll love it.

yes and yes, on PC last January.

It doesn't seem any different than the enhanced GTAV, Uncharted games and Tomb Raider on PS4.  The only difference is Sony will probably have more games than Nintendo. 😀

The Switch is the best possible move Nintendo could have made. However, I feel that this could be too little, too late. It's going to ride or die on the launch window games.

Still can't muster any excitement over Switch.  More interested in PSVR at this stage.

All of Nintendo's innovations of the last fifteen years flushed down the toilet and NOTHING forward thinking this time around.  Motion controls, touch-screen, 3D gaming, tablet controller.  No concept expanded or built upon.  If they treat their own concepts like gimmicks and don't support them, why are they surprised when other developers do the same?

This is little more than a glorified PS Vita with detachable joy-condoms which form a controller.  And wasn't that Sony's least successful machine?

So long Nintendo and thanks for the memories.

Yes but handheld games usually cater to a completely different crowd. The handheld market may not even exist anymore because most people I see just play on their phones.

I think 3ds has sold upwards of 50 million. There's a market but it is shrinking. As for the taking the dog for a shit thing, that happens all the time. Everytime I go for a shit I'm using my phone.

In a sense you're correct. If any other company had announced something like this people would be shrugging it off. I myself posted ages ago an existing tablet with attached joy cons. The difference is that Nintendo is the only company that has consistently had success in the portable market so people know they are going to support it pretty well. Also the notion that all their software will be consolidated on one platform means twice as many games.

Then there's the power jump, this thing is vastly more powerful than Vita and should be around 3x more powerful than Wii U. Outside Nvidias new laptop gpus this is the most capable machine of this size thats ever been built. So technically, yeah, it can be used as a tv console too. It's still going to struggle vs normal consoles though.
