Its scalpers not gamers
No.11812
we've said it a million times, pre-orders were always gonna sell out, they calculate the best amount to balance scalpers and superfans. It looks good on reports when preorders sell out so they make sure that it gets sold out. It's gonna be a 3ds situation at first, because nobody except scalpers and superfans are going to buy it.

I came to the unfortunate conclusion that "shock picks" like freddy fazbear and sans undertale will be in smash for switch 2, since it will be the only way to convince people to buy the same game again for a third or even fourth time

Are any of my fellow Americans standing in line to get Switch 2 tonight?
No.12296
>>12295No, because I don't buy video games - only hardware I can mod/play for free on. I am however eagerly awaiting the Mario Kart reviews to come in because that game looks like a complete pile of shit. It'd be so delicious if Nintendo's big console launch imploded. I'm also curious how they'll fix up the old Pokemon games via the next-gen patches. I have very low expectations though.
No.12297
>>12296I'm not getting it either. I don't care about Mario Kart, if I was gonna buy a launch game, it would be Cyberpunk, apparently they did a really nice job on the port, and it's outperforming the PS4 and Xbox One editions. Nothing else coming out at launch or nearby piques my interest.

>>12297That's interesting, I'm reading that Cyberpunk on the Switch 2 actually runs at 60fps. I hear the game itself is sucky though, and I find it to be aesthetically horrid - uninspired and ugly NPC clothing/fashion, ugly faces, bizarre choice of a California desert setting, a day and night cycle where only night looks very blandly cyberpunk, in-game billboards and advertisements with GTA V-style satirizing and social commentary of modern America. The last part is the worst, and the very opposite of escapism. It's not something I would play.

I knew it was going to happen, but it's still kinda sad that this many "people" have drowned their brains in so much soy they're actually excited to get ass fucked by nintendo just to buy [next product] despite it's launch titles are almost nothing but ports. Congratulations, $100 for a gayme is going to be the new standard and they have no one to blame but themselves. I hope nintendo jacks that shit up to $200 and really fucks them over because we all know they'll pay it. It's never been a better time to be a pirate.

An 8-inch tablet with two… ugh, "joycons" attached to the sides, isn't really my idea of portable anyway.

>>12319>it's launch titles are almost nothing but portsthis launch line up is actually about par for the course for Nintendo
Wii and Wii U's lineup was about the same, Switch and 3DS lineup was worse. (3DS lineup was actually good in Japan because it had Professor Layton 5, but it took them a year longer to get that game to US audiences).
DS and Gamecube had pretty strong launches but that's over 20 years ago at this point.
To be clear nothing is particularly interesting besides Mario Kart, but that's still a strong launch title.

Balancing is so fucking hard, turn off you brain, why bother and you know the rest.
>>12320Forget the star spangling nothing-burger exclusives (because they're not worth it anyway) The real question is: are they going to dump all the first party games into the live stream service including the previous Super Smash entries while risking Ultimate's reputation? Because that's one of greatest virtues of piracy, you get to play fully fleshed out games that are stuck in copyright purgatory.

>>12327>they still haven't got rid of the blue shellOh, you'll be begging for blue shells this time. I've seen gameplay of the 24-player races and it looks like a complete shitshow. You get put in a meatgrinder to get hit from every angle, and whoever lucks out and gets ahead has a huge advantage. And each player can hold
two!! items at once, like in Double Dash! It's a complete joke. Unsalvageable too, as the courses were made with 24 players in mind.
And the number on the Google reviews is dropping every hour, currently at 73% positive.

I wouldn't completely get rid of blue shell or even just nerf it, because it's such an iconic item, but I would make it so that maybe 4/5 times a blue shell would appear it's the rebalanced purple shell instead.

>>12388That is a cool idea, but shipping it with the gamepad would make it more expensive than a 3DS. The PS TV was sold by itself, and required you use your own PS3 or PS4 controller. Another idea is a Super Game Boy or Game Boy Player analogue for the Wii U that takes 3DS and DS carts, but I guess it would be the same thing. The PS TV model is superior as it wouldn't require being connected to a Wii U. I'm sure Iwata would have been all over such a gimmick had it been brought to his desk. R.I.P!

disgrace. No.12397

there was actually the Mii streetpass game and the other AR games that used the cards too, between those you've got at least 5 hours of free first party flagship gameplay, which is something the Switch 2 sorely lacks

Browsing through ancient Jewtube videos out of nostalgia, I stumble across with rants about Sony's Super Smash clone and most of its flaws can be applied perfectly with Super Smash itself:
>Characters clashing with each other artstyles
<Someone think of the children who get lured by the M rated franchises because of the crossover
>>It's a ripoff
<Ignoring the fact that PowerStone exists
<Or the fact that Smash borrows characters from other franchises just to stay relevant, if the game had original characters instead, Sakurai would've been demoted as a janitor.
