I think it comes out in March

I don't think it's for everyone yet.. especially if you have a wii u
I just want to play monster hunter on my t.v. and maybe some zelda
the thing also uses cartridges which is really cool, it will remove loading times considerably

Idk, that's a lot, but it would be awesome, the new Zelda should be a blast.

I'll probably buy it once it costs under $200.
I bought the wii u for I think around $400 and only play a handful of games on it. That's too much money to just play a couple Mario games and zelda. Told myself I won't do that again. I am a sucker for Mario games though.

playing video games is fine and good in moderation, just like anything else that brings pleasure.  studies have shown that guys who play games 3 or more hours a day have lower emotional intelligence, poor emotional control, and have a harder time dealing with problems in life.


but I think that can be said about anyone who struggles with an addictive personality.  Whatever a person enjoys can serve as a kind of escape for those who haven't learned healthy coping mechanisms.  All through my youth I was anti-drug and alcohol.  it wasnt until I got involved with a man who started having an affair with me that I began to dabble and experiement with anything that offered relief and allowed me to forget how much I loved him.

i dont think anyone on earth hated drugs and booze more than me.  yet despite every ounce of conviction i had against drugs I couldnt find a way to cope. At that point I would have done anything in my power to get away from my own self.


I just wish someone would have told me this shit is a genetic malady.  If your family has issues with addiction you should NEVER EVER EVER try anything.  Otherwise life is going to be a struggle.  You'll fight against this for your entire life.  and life is challenging enough, there's no need for self-sabbotage or self-destruction.

So I'd say to all the young people out there that if you see yourself leaning toward unhealthy behaviors, do yourself a favor and pull the plug on that shit right now.  It doesnt matter if its eating, shopping, fucking, drugging, gambling, video games, whatever.. detach yourself from it. 

Haha compound addiction with other disorders like ADHD or OCD and you have a real problem on your hands.  BUT if you can find something good, that is beneficial to focus that energy on you can really use that to your advantage. You just need to seek something you're passionate about and have interest in.  ADHD could be your best fucking asset instead of disability.

It's all about the spin.

the highest grades I ever got was when I was playing dark souls 2 constantly
smoking pot fucks me up more because the first thing i do when I get home is smoke then by the end of the week I get sick

I don't drink anymore it's kind of creepy that I used to so much, now I just imagine the pain and naseua I felt those times and I don't drink more than a beer. I think drugs in general are bad at least the ones we have access too.

I was really just trying to tell everyone about the cartridge tech
it makes installing games a thing of the past

I'm sure the zelda game wont be that advanced anyway it has to run on the wii u so it'll just have downscaled resolution there... nintendo really makes it's first party games shine usually

sprinkles thinks that people who sit in front of a t.v. with a controller instead of salty tears and beer are less developed

I can't give Nintendo any more of my money. I've bought every console they have made, and after the SNES, they slowly went down hill (I still loved my n64 and Gamecube) but the Wii, and the Wii U, and ALL the money I have spent on first party games, just leaves me thinking Nintendo doesn't have the magic they did in the 90's. My favorite part of the month was getting my Nintendo Power magazine. One year, for a subscription bonus, they gave you Dragon Warrior! For FREE (The subscription was the same price every year).

I've bought all the games that had accessories (remember Silent Scope!?), the power pad, robbie the robot, the power glove, the Wii fit board) and so many games I could buy a few cars with. I've bought all of the handhelds as well, and now with cellphones being just as powerful, the 3ds and PS Vita are becoming obsolete.

All I want is games like ActRaiser and Castlevania IV back. 

If I get this new console, it will be WELL after it's a proven hit, and not just another cash grab from the Big N.

yeah I mean I'm ok with it but to be honest i preferred the wii mote because it made FPS games a lot more fun and responsive, yes I was ticked at the wii u for being cut short a year or so early but the switch is completely new tech..

it's just not going to hit 1080p 60 frames outside of first party titles, which is why I'm mad if they waited another year they definitely could have hit that mark

so i guess you can say it's everything i didn't want but it's the only home console with a nvidia gpu inside that uses cartridges...
thats freaking crazy to me we went like 17 years without cartridges now loading times are going to be gone again
I'm hype enough to get it eventually haha

The switch is literally just a tablet.  nintendo realized they lost the console wars to MS and Sony and are trying to put themselves in a segment of the market without having to complete directly with them.  I have an nvidia shield at home, its pretty snazzy and does some cool stuff.  The switch is basically just that except marketed as a console which is some BS.  The great thing about the shield is for STREAMING games from my PC to it, or from the net (but with some OBVIOUS quality loss)

I grew up with nintendo and like the other poster had nintendo power, all the accessories I could get my hands on, etc. I definitely miss the old glory days of nintendo but they have fallen far far far from the top and continued rolling away.  They need to alter their business practices if they want to stop being the joke they have become.

they don't cater to the same market, the xbox and ps3 used to be like 400-600 dollars lol
also they don't charge online and their systems are backwards compatible

also being technically inferior doesn't equal worse
the sony and microsoft systems barely hit sixty frames ever up until what 2016

all video game companies are out to make money
no one is forcing you to buy it
the switch will hit 1080p 30frames though without a doubt in third party games

I think that may be a correlation not causation thing. Alot of gaming addicts have poor social skills and it often develops into other issues over time. Not necessarily because of the game time but where others get thrust into social situations and learn confidence and w/e they need, they stay and prefer to stay with the game. Where other people learn to deal with life they do not. It is no different than any other form of self isolation. Drugs included.

The real difference is where alot of other problems are more likely to manifest in adulthood, gaming starts in childhood and it shapes their life from then on out.


I honestly wish I could have taught my aunt this. She raised my cousin in a bubble. Gave him video gams and tv but no outside time. Made him terrified of bugs. Let the doctor put him on a shitload of adderal. I wasn't surprised he ended up developing tons of allergies and skin conditions. They also gave him growth hormones because his growth got stunted. He's gonna be 14 next year and I expect he will begin to realize how far behind he is in alot of these life things. And he will be depressed. But I hope he can grow from it.

Thankfully in the last 2-3 years my aunt realized how ridiculous doctors are and has changed alot in his life. But he's still gaming more often than not.

Grew up in a village of 100 people, and gaming used to be a really social activity for the around 10 of us in my age group.
When the weather was poor, and for large portions of the winter when it was bitterly cold, we would get together and game.

Then around the age of 14, got mixed up in a horribly convoluted situation where I was kicked out of school for a year because people from the next town over (we all bussed in to the city for school) started a rumor that I was going to shoot up the school (had no such plans).
Aside from being sent 2 hours on the highway to go see a psychiatrist who ultimately asked my mother why I was brought in because I did not need to be there, also ended up in pretty heavy social isolation from that point onward.

If I went out around town, 90% of the people I used to hang out with would freak out, so I started spending all my time indoors gaming or hanging out on message boards. 
Annnnnnd from that point forward, spent most of my time at home -- moved to a new city and a new school to finish out high school, but people caught wind of what happened previously and I was pretty quickly outcast.

So my gaming addiction was both in response to social issues growing up, but also exacerbated a number of the social issues into my adult years due to a slowly formulated general misanthropic view of people.

Arguably my internet addiction has been worse than my gaming addiction though -- spent a good 7+ years of my adult life not gaming during/after University, but have never managed to peel myself away from socializing in forums rather than in person.
Not that it is easy for me to get anywhere from where I live at the moment though. :lol:

But to get back on topic of the Switch, am looking quite forward to it.
By no means expect Dark Souls 3 or Skyrim SE to perform as well as they do on my desktop, but the portable nature means playing some of my favourites on commute to doctors appointments and the like. :cookiemonster:

And, of course, looking forward to the new Zelda -- but also to the rumors that, apparently, Nintendo will finally be bringing a main-line Pokémon title to consoles.

Just to say, Nintendo released the Mario Run or whatever it's called today on iOS (not sure about droid?) - Graphics and feel - feel like home. I can tell this will be a fun game to play in the waiting room and at the car dealer type shit.

My favorite Mario though, was on SNES - the introduction of Yoshi to sit on and eat goombas and turtles and stuff was mind blowing as a child. :smile:

I love nvidia's stuff, thats not the issue I have with the switch.  I already said I have a shield at home and love it, but nvidia recognizes that the shield is limited in what it can do on its own and built the device to really shine when its used in conjunction with your gaming PC and a powerful nvidia card.  The switch however, does not do that.  The quality of the games they have shown, albeit only a little actual game play has been seen so far, looks very low quality and sub-par for what I expect from an upcoming next generation console. 

Its too gimmicky and I really think a lot of people are getting sick of it and its hurting them as a company.  I love that they are usually trying their gimmicky stuff to bring out some new way of doing stuff that sticks, but with that comes a long history of failures since the beginning.  (I'm looking at you robby the robot and power glove).  However in this case, they are not even doing anything new.  They just took another company's chip (normal for consoles) and stuck it in an already existing form and didn't innovate anything.  Its just an nvidia shield tablet and a docking station.
