  • If Nintendo plays their cards right, the Switch could end up being a huge success. More importantly though, it could be the standard for Nintendo consoles from here on out.

      Yami apple was desperate to do something "innovative" so they just decided to be both cheap and "innovative" by removing the jack. and they know that their worshiping fans who camp outside of the apple store days before to get it day one will buy it.

      ***** For their next "innovation," they will remove the power button and replace it with a keyhole that you need to buy a key for $99, exclusive from their store, In order to turn on your phone. They will call it, the "iHole."

      While that is true, it's also true that really high tech graphics of your favorite franchises is a really exciting prospect for a lot of people. It can feel kind of a bummer when Nintendo doesn't have as high tech hardware as other companies because it means you won't have your favorite franchises looking as good as they could.Ruby Dolphin

      After seeing Tripolar's horrifically uninspired Mario Minecraft videos, it's good to know that there are still channels that pour so much heart and soul into the content. I'm hoping to join them myself with the videos I'm working on now.

      Tripolar is the name of a Minecraft TH-camr who creates the Super Mario Minecraft and the Nintendo Fun House series. There is a tiny bit of improvement in his work over the years, but his old habits are still apparent. He voices all the characters himself (which sounds a lot worse than you'd think), asks users to subscribe at the beginning of his videos, most of his storylines are just fluff, the editing is subpar, and he flows trends and clickbait. Why he almost has 200k subscribers is a mystery.

      if i had to guess, since nintendo wont provide any more info on the switch until next year, Bethesda and EA are under an NDA, and thats why its not confirmed. also, Bethesda has Skyrim coming out in a week, and probably doesnt want people to be driven away if they could just wait for it on another console.

    If Nintendo can get good third-party support, make sure it's advertised to a proper dempgraphic as its own standalone console, and get enough non-spinoff mainline nintendo titles in there, throwing in a new ip or two, add a proper metroid and mario, baddabing, baddaboom, leagues above the wii u.

      -Splatoon Remastered
      -Mario Kart 8 Remastered
      -Super Smash Bros. 4 (Considering the Switch is a hybrid, they could advertise the combination of the Wii U and 3DS stages as well as maybe some new characters *cough* IceClimbers *cough*).
      And this is purely first party, maybe the Skyrim Remaster will come to the Switch (It comes out next week so it could get optimized for it if they want to), maybe Final Fantasy XV, maybe a new IP from Nintendo? Who knows, but this is looking like a potential launch lineup.

    Ugh, I hate when people judge a game based on its graphics. After 16 years, I finally got my dad to play a Pokemon game (that wasn't fucking GO.) it was Platinum. After a month of saying he enjoyed it, yet rarely every playing it, the Sun and Moon demo came out. He played it then ditched Platinum, got Pokemon Y, then told me the reason he liked Y more was because the graphics were better. That hurt my soul.

      Oh yeah, I didn't think about those needing batteries, but you're totally right! Here's a thought that would be cool even though I'm sure it won't happen: What if those were rechargeable, but could also feed extra power into the unit when attached to prolong the overall battery life?

    • @killaknight12
      @killaknight12 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Well considering the Wii U Pro Controller lasts like 60 hours, I think those Joy-Cons aren't that noticable for the battery life. On the other hand, using them as power banks could be a smart move.
      But Nintendo said it's mainly a home console so 3-4 hours are great for its size and power.

    • @JamesLaValle95
      @JamesLaValle95 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Zapazoid well, that probably because we have no real estimate on how good the switch's battery life is in the first place. I'd like to think it's probably closer to the 3ds as opposed to the wii u, but yeah, portability is this systems most crucial selling point so if the console port itself is the charging station as opposed to plugging it into the wall like the wii u, that might be a bit of a setback and limit some of the systems overall mobility. I'm honestly just hoping the screen has some sort of a portable charging station or charger that connects directly to the screen. but, again, only time will tell

    • @chervanabachi5513
      @chervanabachi5513 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Battery life is definitely something Nintendo should've considered when making the Switch. I'm hoping it'll be aimed towards at least 4 - 7 hours tops, similar with the New 3DS. A 3 hour battery life isn't going to be a good selling point for the system, considering that's the same issue both the 3DS and Wii U Gamepad faced. I really hope that Nintendo makes some improvements with the final retail version compared to the dev kits and teaser trailer.

      they already say the switch sucks, so it doesn't matter, just glad the switch attracts the big audience. The handheld market.

    • @mcknackus4721
      @mcknackus4721 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I find that more difficult to believe honestly, because Sony and Microsoft are competing in different arenas from Nintendo and even each other. Sony wants Playstation to be your high-spec VR rig and Microsoft wants Xbox to be your PC/entertainment center on your TV. Nintendo is aiming for portable, social, local multiplayer gaming.
      Sony had a go at the whole handheld/console concept with the PSP and Vita/PS3 connectivity but it ultimately failed, in my opinion because they failed to recognize what made a portable system good was games made for mobile play, short bursts of gaming, and focused too much on "console quality" games. The Vita/PS3 connection was a step in the right direction, but having to own both systems to achieve it and needing them to be properly synced meant that it was clunky and pretty unrealistic for most gamers on a budget, so the feature was just a plus for the few who could afford it.
      Switch, however, bypasses these issues. Nintendo knows the handheld market, and they pride themselves on excellent local-multiplayer party games. When you take a console with the power for full-depth console and local multiplayer games and make it both portable and dockable with a seamless transition, you have something that will be hard to dismiss out of hand.
      Now, Nintendo can still mess this up royally if performance or battery life is sub-par, or if the features we had expected it to have turn out to be half-baked. Only time will tell, but I don't think this is a concept that's ever been tackled this way, and I have my doubts Sony or Microsoft will ever have the same grasp on the handheld market without pulling some big strings and taking some big risks.

      @ReachStudioPro 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      +The Arrow You are incorrect unless you're talking about the hardcore Sony and Microsoft fans. Both Phil Spencer and the guy from Sony whom i can't remember the name of are both praising Switch and are positive about it. They even seem to look forward to it.
      It's funny the hardcore fans of both of their companies can't do the same. Switch is worth praising.

      ReachStudioPro I was taking about the hardcore audience who always make fun of Nintendo and are in there own little wars with each other, witch in a way is small but online feels big. Ether way i still think the handheld market crowd is what will really support this system.

    Graphics this,graphics that. I swear we're no better than the gaming audience of the 90's with theyre Bit Wars. Its the freaks who want PC power coming out of a console who have made the 8th and soon to be 9th generation of consoles unbearable. Seriously,you want awe inspiring graphics,get a PC. You want a legitimate gaming experience,play on a console. Stop trying to combine the two. We all saw what happened with the Xbox One and how it was an abyssmal failure. Consoles need to be specifically for gaming and PC's for your high end graphics. Seriously.

    • @markthesecond3380
      @markthesecond3380 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      While I totally agree that consoles should focus on the gaming experience over graphics, you have to understand that just a couple generations ago, better graphics also meant new ways to play.
      The jump from 2D to 3D graphics opened up a whole new set video game genres that just could not exist in the same way before. Back then, improving the power of consoles meant that developers could do more without worrying about the limitations of the devices they developed for. So, while the benefits of improving graphics has diminished significantly, it's important to remember that, not that long ago, that was the best thing you could do to improve gaming as a whole.
      It's only in recent generations (thanks to diminishing returns on graphical improvements) that developers have been struggling to find better ways to improve console gaming, but a lot of people haven't yet realized just how difficult it has become to actually improve graphical fidelity. So, due to the fact that a few generations they would've been (sort of) correct, a ton of people still think that better graphics means better games.
      Side note: You make it sound like PC is ONLY for people who want high-end graphics, but it's totally possible to get a PC for about the same price as a console that plays pretty much all the same games. PC's require more know-how to get the best out of them (which is perfectly reasonable if you don't want to invest the time for that), but that doesn't mean that they're just for high-end stuff.

      Graphics and kiddiness are the focus of adolescent kids that want to play games that make them feel grown ups.
      I was by that alley till my 20's (I'm 32 now). My last Nintendo console was an N64, but with the Cube it was unfortunate that my first and only contact with it was a group of kids playing Mario Party. Also, I got a Ps2 because everybody had one.
      We seasoned gamers need to teach younger ones that graphics arent anything. By now I got almost all of the main consoles of each generation and my own kid is growing in a gaming environment so diverse I hope he can grow up free of this kind of bullshit thinking.

      1"i just want to get my hands on the controller"
      if the camera dosen't lie, you have a giant hand compared to mine, and if i can't enjoy holding it, chances are you aren't.
      2"we weren't expecting the ns"
      say that for yourself, the late 2016 rumors are exactly the ns.
      3"it's* a home console AND a handheld"
      correction, *it's both a docking station AND a tablet.
      4"it's not all grump pants over here"
      being realistic about something and then apologizing cliché. I have seen this trend ruin 30 haedox and 4 arlo videos too many.
      5"play any nintendo game you want, wherever you want"
      i always chuckle when you say that out loud. I think a normal handheld without a hdmi dock already does that. I think you and a lot of people actually mean play any CONSOLE nintendo game wherever you want. Witch isn't saying much since the handheld significantly sacrifices power for mobility.
      6"the 3ds was good, but the mobile and tablet market can't share the market with it forever."
      i don't see how the 3ds and iphone/ipads are targeting the same audience
      7- nintendo consoles are getting worse sales -
      you can't just strip all the context away, that's biased AND forced as hell.
      8- gamecube failed, i win the argument. -
      the gamecube was outdated as hell, it used mini discs when everyone was using DVDs, it had couch only when everyone had online play. arlo, use the context for once and don't look at raw numbers. I'm being positive as ever with you.
      9- making a gamecube 2 would be a huge risk.-
      not every scientist has to make a 20-year long study to verify gravity is true. PS4 crushed the wii u. The wii u failed. It's not rocket science, hype culture can't make us THAT blind for the power or quality of a system.
      10- with nintendo failing in both sides, streching is the answer. -
      can you for a second thing it's not the luck of the draw and that the situation can be changed?
      i don't see enough of the console side, i'm sorry but it's anything but a fusion.
      11- best of both worlds, handheld and console! -
      not powerful enough to exist as a console, nor portable enough to exist as a handheld. don't see your point there.
      12-handheld and console both are incomparable entities, so the optimal consumer would buy both-
      ignoring that the handheld's library isn't the exact console library and that the price and specs aren't the same,
      people don't have to strictly like both. they are designed for different people. You could argue about how x is better than y or viceversa and never reach a conclusion.
      13- you could buy the AAA and the time wasters, in one device! -
      you got to the key point faster than i. The thing is, are AAA epics going to run well on a hanheld, and are time wasters as fun in the couch? huh.
      14- the ns could have twice the games, twice the value! -
      adressed in point 13 and 12.
      15 -simplified play is better-
      as i said, AAA epics aren't gonna be exactly as great when the handheld won't run them well.
      16 - the tech is there. Another attempts at a hybrid that aren't discussed about at all for the rest of the video, by the way, were ahead of it's time-
      i wouldn't say it's ahead or time, but it could've happened easily before, just not in the gba or virtual boy days.
      17-i don't care about the graphics, i want fun games, therefore, both of these sweet spots can't overlap, and everyone has to have my exact opinion-
      this point speaks for itself, it's sarcasm if you can't tell.
      18- wii u's new way to play was bad and expensive, and this one's not far from a traditional console.
      you're telling me the deatachable controllers suddently don't exist?
      19, the rest of the video from the part about playing games on to the part of 3rd party support
      both of these were presumed to be on the wii u, and you see how that turned out.
      20, VC would be cool on the ns
      i don't think half of the people who are interested in VC want to pay twice for the game, and the other half is better with emulators
      21. final throught
      honestly, it might seem like a nitpick to, well pretty much everyone, but all these issues, that nintendo has been ignoring so long are little holes witch the rest of the info in 2017 will have to bridge to the system to not fail.
      let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

    I never had any serious interest in non-nintendo consoles, and Switch is a good example as to why.
    My first console was the Sega Saturn, fml.
    The scene:
    Nintendo announces WiiU failed, and that they'll try something new instead. Sony decides to immediately follow suit, but this time without a mold from Nintendo they can snuggle into.
    "What if... Our systems were upgradeable?"
    Microsoft chimes in. "You mean like PC's?"
    "Yes, actually, those are successful, after all. We'll just have more exclusives, and we can even pull off VR with our current hardware!" Sony explained.
    "Well, when you put it like that, it doesn't actually sound so bad... (Though perhaps we'll just start phasing out our consoles, we'll start by removing exclusivity, we didn't do well this generation...) We CAN pull off VR, but we'll need upgrades to do it." Microsoft planned.
    "Nintendo, what are YOU planning?" they inquire.
    "Project NX." Nintendo announces.
    "And that is...?"
    "Our new console."
    Realizing Nintendo wouldn't spill, the other two set about executing their ideas.
    Much later, after both companies had set their plans in stone, Nintendo decides to speak up when the Public becomes worried.
    "Announcing... The Switch!"
    Both Sony and Microsoft were baffled. They asked Nintendo, "Where are the Upgrades? The VR?"
    "The N64DD and Virtual Boy? The DD never saw the light of day, but our 3DS can do what we hoped the VB would, only in color. Even we couldn't pull off expansion packs."
    Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo looked to the tomb of SEGA. Upon it, The Dreamcast, Saturn,
    And a Genesis/Megadrive with a set of CD And 32X Attachments.

      The Wii U was heavy on the "you can play off the TV" thing, but everyone was asking "Why the fuck isn't this thing just plain portable?"
      Hence what the Wii U was SUPPOSED to be as something that made sense instead of a giant GamePad that died after going ten feet away from the system.

    • @kieranm1042
      @kieranm1042 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It's the fact that the new chip is said by NVidia to be made of the same stuff that's in their "top graphics cards" which makes me think Pascal and turns out the new Tegra Parker series contains Pascal! Btw Pascal is the reason that a GTX 1080 can put out just over the same amount of power as a Maxwell architecture Titan X which costs nearly twice the price. So that kind of efficiency is brilliant for a hybrid like the Switch!

    I know that this video is seven years old, but I really like this channel and I discovered your channel about a couple of days ago on your vision of the switch 2, which I totally agree with and is probably the most grounded and realistic vision and it’s something that I could see Nintendo doing, hoping your predictions for the next generation of switch is true.

  • @spinybro1014

    The battery life is the biggest concern right now, I am okay with 3 hours (I really don't play more than 1 and a half hours), as long as the thingy can be charged with a cable (pretty sure it will).
    Judging by the size though, I would say it will last around 4 and a half hours instead of just 3, but that's just my estimation though...
    Also, pretty sure Nintendo will be selling an expanded battery thing that will make it last for an extra 2 hours

    the price is worrying, they should sell it at a loss in my opinion. make the money back with two game sales. they'll be fine.
    it's more important this does well than it is for them to squeeze money out of it simply because their reputation and place in the market is on the line.
    they can still turn a profit overall even if they sell the hardware at a loss

    • @jerrytotten3733
      @jerrytotten3733 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      DarkK~ they have been talking a lot about unified development. I think anything that will run on any low end handheld they make will also run on the switch. Would be cool if they could even use the same carts so you could just buy the exact same game, but I doubt that.

    • @TheGamingAnole55
      @TheGamingAnole55 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      James Langston cartridges are an issue to gamers and developers.
      1. devs are going to think about spending more money to make games for Nintendo because cartridges have more manufacturing costs.
      2. cartridges means no future updates, Unlike the ps4 or xbox one that have discs dump all data into your console the Switch will play games straight from cartridges and that means No future updates if a game has unknown bugs or balanced issues, that's means if a game is released on the Switch and it has issues it will stay broken because of cartridges.
      you never saw updates to 3ds games did ya?...that's because you can't update a game that runs straight from a cartridge.

    What do you guys think about the fact that the Switch reveal was directed entirely at Millennials? I think Nintendo's strategy this time around is to get the attention of everyone who grew up with Nintendo and rekindle the flame. That's a massive market, and a much more dedicated and lasting market in contrast to the Wii. With this demographic in mind, I wonder if they'll release all the games we've wanted on the eShop, as if they've been waiting for the right time to target the audience that wants them.
