i do hope they make bayo 2 playable on the switch or smth
I've been procrastinating about bayo 2 because I want to get that 2 pack that comes with both as 1 runs better on the wii U but that CE is relatively expensive (40 quid). Maybe once I get metal gear rising on the PC I'm getting and hopefully fall in love with that, I'll be more eager to play bayonetta. I was planning on going from the start with kamina/platinum action games but I suck at devil may cry and got about 2/3rds of the way into it before I quit. The number of games I currently have that I haven't played is pretty bad still so I shouldn't really be thinking of buying more but whatever, zelda looks fucking ace!
same tbh
i like watching bayo vids, but i think i'd fail pretty badly at playing it.
Furi gives me confidence that I can be good at video games so if I put enough time and dedication into it I hope I would be able to get to the level where I can fully enjoy these plat games.
The battery life thing is because it's probably not meant to be a dedicated handheld, just an easy to move console. Dedicated handhelds are effectively dead, the console makers aren't going to fight mobile anymore.
How did I not know that this thread existed? I only found it because I specifically searched for site:forums.nrvnqsr.com nintendo switch on Google.
I just wanted to say, I want a Switch, but only with better battery life and OLED (and hopefully better portability but not required).
I learned the hard way with the original 3DS that, if battery life isn't around DS Phat levels, I'm going to have a bad time using it as a handheld.
OLED is because I'm in the market for an OLED TV and it'll be constant disappointment going from the TV to the built-in display (especially if it's IPS which has some of the worst black levels).
OLED can also help serve better portability due to a thinner screen. I personally would like to see something like a GBA SP form factor where you have the joy-cons connect below the display and the display then clamshells over (or under) the joy-cons; alternatively you could do a PSP Go form factor where the display slide over (or under) the joy-cons. This can all be done without shrinking the joy-cons at all.
I'm OK with waiting a year or so if necessary.
Also, considering that the Sony handhelds kind of flopped in the US and the Switch's lack of region locking (par for the course for a Nintendo handhelds save for the 3DS), I hope that future development for the more niche Japanese games migrate over to the Switch, especially the non-iOS/Android Type-Moon games.
Surely you've played AM2R, right? (preferably with the high-quality music patch that I totally have absolutely no association with whatsoever *cough*lies*cough*)
Apologies for the double-post, but when I deleted and re-posted my previous post, I did not realize that somebody else had snuck a reply in.
It's worth noting that the Switch's battery life is quite similar to the original 3DS's - that's why I can say from experience that it's problematic for me.
Well from a hardware performance standpoint, the Switch fits perfectly into the "3DS successor" mold, especially when you consider that Nintendo's handhelds have been comparable performance-wise to the home consoles of 2 generations prior.
The sales numbers for Pokemon Sun & Moon say otherwise.

Yes the Switch IS the 3DS' successor and Pokemon does make money. But there is no true portable successor, it's this hybrid. And there's almost certainly not going to be a new Sony handheld. This is the soft retirement of portables. The 3DS and Vita were, most likely, the last.
But what is it that defines a true portable successor, and which of that criteria does the Switch not qualify for?
Stop being deliberately obtuse. Nintendo is effectively ending 28 years of having separate portable and home console lines. Sony will almost certainly not be continuing its own portable line. What does this tell you about the portable market, bearing in mind the existence of phones and that nintendo has officially entered mobile development?
Handhelds are pretty big in Japan still.
No they aren't. They're just the only kind of console that sells even remotely well anymore. Most of Japan has just moved onto smartphones.
But when will they move on from gachas?

FF XIV: Walked to the End
Started Legend of the Galactic Heroes (14/07/23), pray for me.
20 to 30 bucks for the entire year is much better than I expected.
On another note, I had a thought regarding a future Switch equivalent of the Game Boy Color, DSi, New! 3DS...
Normally those systems add an "upgraded mode" that only new software is able to take advantage of. A "New! Switch" however could simply just run all pre-existing software in "docked mode" even when undocked to have an out-of-the-box "upgraded mode" (at least for portable use) for nearly all existing software, especially if it has a 1080p display as well.
And similar to the "Power Save" setting that the 3DS has, this "New! Switch" could also use the legacy "undocked mode" as its own "Power Save" mode.

I forgot that I never replied to this:
It tells me that the macro-economic environment is affecting revenue to the point that companies need to focus more on their bread-and-butter and not as much on less-profitable endeavors:
Nintendo is focusing on portable devices, that being dedicated handhelds and smartphones.
Sony is focusing on home consoles.
Even Microsoft is focusing on Windows more than ever and unifying the ecosystem between Xbox and PC.
And yet the 3DS is the 3rd best-selling gaming system in Japan ever (including home consoles like the PS2) and is now only behind the DS and the Game Boy＊ in terms of units sold in Japan.
＊total units sold may include Game Boy Color, but definitely does not include Game Boy Advance

Nintendo isn't focusing on dedicated handhelds though? A smartphone by definition isn't a dedicated handheld, and neither is the Switch. The 3DS has declined in sales and is nearing its end of its lifespan. It'll be the last handheld.
