Well, it's a bigger, better Switch alright...
A little bit underwhelming hardware-wise. ~~Extra joycon L/R don't seem like they'll factor in much in most singleplayer docked or handheld settings.~~ (I guess those aren't new buttons.. .) The mouse thing (if that's what they're showing) is somewhat interesting and helps to keep touch controls relevant when docked. Top USB port, sure. Backwards compatibility is great news. Screen is...?
As always with Nintendo I think it comes down to the games. Mario Kart 9 hasn't blown me away just yet, but we've barely seen anything at all so...
To be continued in April, i guess.
Did I offend you or something? Does your dad work for Nintendo? ๐
It's a figure of speech. But let me really spell it out for you and any other fucking slowpokes in the back of the class...
I'm not impressed with the hardware or the software that they showed today. They should show more than 8 seconds of a game that looks marginally better than Mario Kart 8 (a game I bought and enjoyed 11 years ago on the Wii U) if they want to impress me and sell me on a piece of hardware that is incrementally better than the Switch they sold me 8 year ago. Hopefully they have something that will impress me when they do another presentation in April, but if not that's cool who gives a fuck man.
