Wow, my hype is really, really deflated.
This game reminds me of one of those Unreal Engine 4 "look what I did!" Mario demos...
You need to establish a coherent art design for your game. What is it? How do things look? What colors are used? All of this needs to be decided at the outset and traditionally Nintendo has been pretty good at handling the Mario franchise when it comes to establishing an art style that works.
This demo reminds me of one of those Unreal Engine 4 "look what I did!" Mario demos because both are just a bunch of shit thrown everywhere without anything to really pull it all together. Even the non-NYC levels looked bland and uncompelling. It harkens back to another era (The Dreamcast era!) where strong art design wasn't or couldn't be prioritized in most cases.
Oh and the UE4 demos look better
Why do people keep acting like the Mario trailer was only the city.IMO Mario looked absolutely revolting. We thought it was a preview for Crazy Taxi. Yikes.
Zelda looked really cool though. The conference as a whole was a clumsy mess, and the Aussie pricing is a disaster.
Just read the Eurogamer article. Let me see if I got this right: 280 pounds, paid signature service to play online, 2.5 hours battery life, "free" games which comes down to Nes/Snes and only for 1 month.
What the hell Nintendo??
I'll keep my 3DS and wait it's true scuccessor.
Switch is without question the successor to 3DS .
Switch is without question the successor to 3DS. Nintendo going forward has two platforms. Switch and Mobile.

There was so much diversity shown in the level designs

Nope.
yeah I can't believe people still believe that after that price point.
Yeah, was up for quite sometime as well.Did this ever go up at amazon us?
I used to think like that too. But with 2.5 hours no one in the right mind is gonna get a Switch to play on the go.

Yes, and that's not a good thing. Nintendo needed to hit the ground running with this thing. They need a success out of the gate. Maybe it can recover like he 3DS did. If Nintendo weren't idiots it wouldn't have to. Switch with its current lineup and price will bomb, and bomb hard.People forget how the 3DS launched in the first place in 2011. This is almost exactly a repeat of that situation minus the online paywall.
The first 3DS was about 3 to 4 hours, and that's what Zelda could deliver
Also the big news is external batteries, that changes everything and people are used to it. That's almost the most exciting news I've heard
Trying to emulate Iwata is all well and good but when you've got an old stone faced guy that clearly isn't fit for standing in front of mute crowds...

Price point and the super low battery life. It just doesn't make sense.
I don't know if I should buy this or find a used Wii U to play Zelda BotW.. that's how disappointed I am.
It was a massive disappointment.
I'll just get zelda on the Wii U. I'll doubt it'll be much different.
Okay, I'm not convinced that a lot of the people shittitng on the presentation are just trolling.
See me back when common sense will have returned.

Skimmed through it, looked pretty boring... like what the heck was that EA guy there for?
While there are legitimate concerns like controllers pricing, I am convinced that the majority of people have no interest in the device and just want to complain or just had unreasonable expectations.
BTW just like Nintendo Land, 1 2 Switch looks amazing, it might not be the system seller wii sports was, but I'm sure I'll have a blast playing it with friends.
One thing I appreciated about the game trailers is the apparent lack of CG to suggest what the games will look like. Very apparently in game footage. No b.s. I'm not very pleased with peripheral pricing, but the switch itself is okay
I just don't get Nintendo's business strategy. The Switch seems like it's being made to preach to the choir. We know the saturation of loyal Nintendo fans when you look at about 10 million Wii U's sold and 8 million copies of Mario Kart sold on the system. These are the people who will buy a Nintendo console for Nintendo games, the guaranteed market.
I honestly don't see Switch doing much better than the Wii U as it currently stands.
Sure, they have the handheld element, but the battery life for most of the games is looking to be around 3 hours which isn't ideal. The console is too big and fragile to appeal to the kids market that the DS/3DS so successfully appeals to, and Nintendo have shown little in the way of proper handheld games, they seemed to focus on console style games from what I could see. I was expecting a lot of focus on indie tablet style games, the kind of stuff absolutely EVERYONE'S kids are playing on iPads and iPhones, not a sign of anything like that.
They've got a console with niche appeal and a focus on a gimmick you just know only 3 games will ever actually use, which has helped bump up the price to more than the vastly more powerful competition. In doing so and with an underpowered console third party support looks like it will be just as anaemic as the Wii, WiiU etc.
So WHO are they selling this to, those 10 million people? Do they not want to grow their business? Nintendo consoles are the only place you can get Nintendo games, but they're trying their damnedest to push people away who are not fully in on Nintendo. Rather than appealing to a wider market (and gaming is a HUGE market) they seem happy to cater to their hardcore base, practically holding them hostage by forcing them to buy their new hardware periodically. They get very little else for their purchase, few 3rd parties, poor online services now even worse that it's being charged for. Just imagine a console you could get all your third parties AND get Nintendo's best games, thing would easily be performing at least as well as an Xbox One. As it is it's going to be another flop. How much longer can a company be so pig headed and arrogant while there's money sitting on the table if only they gave customers what they wanted.
I'm feeling a disconnect between the reactions of people who are in the media and youtubers and stuff and people I actually know/talk to.
To me and everyone I know, the presentation was really weak with the only good thing about it being Zelda, which we already knew looked good. Mario is a disaster. It's shockingly stupid.
..Meanwhile, every reaction video I've watched so far is overwhelmingly positive.
What's the be positive about besides Zelda? The lineup is flimsy as hell, Mario looks terrible, online is pay (and insultingly offers you rentals of NES and SNES roms as incentive) and the console costs more than expected.
Someone that tried the 1, 2, Switch milking game said it really felt like milk spraying out...
Totally expecting to be disappointed.
