re: Whatever........this is a "sicboy crapping on the Switch" thread, cuz reasons

My issues are the under powered hardware barely giving us a lift in performance of the WiiU. Yes it is portable but still rather my 3DS.

but the people i see (figuratively) being interested in this want to play big console games but don't have the schedule or situation to park in front of the tv, and i don't see them as the 3ds types. dual screen being a turnoff for them (as it was with the wii u), and the fact that it doesn't play console games.

it's a risk. personally, i'm at the point where graphics aren't really as important because the floor is so high. wii it was a turnoff and i didn't buy a wii until it was at the end of its life cycle.

The games which they do have lined up are all just HD versions.

the ps4 was port heavy by which i mean games available on ps3 and originally made for ps3. it's a great reason to wait but not really to declare a result. it may be another dust collector who knows, but for now it's another console launch that's thin. Mario kart 8 is essentially a new game because i imagine most people who will own a switch will not have been wii u owners because i think the "switch" part gives it broader appeal. they need to get the streaming and app store to maximize the potential IMO, but we'll see.

Please do not ignore the performance issues in FPS in Zelda. They are pretty bad at times when docked. I do have to say, at less Nintendo made sure the boss battles didnt have lag. Haven't noticed any in Lynel and Rock Golem fights.

i'm not. it's there. personally I've never noticed frame rate issues on any game ever, but so many people cited this as the one thing, i started noticing it...it doesn't impact my Zelda boner one bit though
