This was meant to be put up a week ago, but it got away from me.
Let's look at the facts about the press conference, because people playing the system, which i was shocked that Nintendo didn't piss in the eyes of everyone playing their system online to showcase it, it did look fun, even interesting beyond the Nintendo standards. The system itself had become the peripheral for better or for worse, and the show itself showed off a great deal of the games the system would suppor at, around, or within six months of launch.
The games are standard Nintendo, nothing necessarily a huge surprise, excluding perhaps one title: No More Heroes III, but otherwise, it was about the games. This is rather refreshing for Ninentod, whilst other companies always pushed games, Nintendo has always been the biggest offender of pushing a system, or a new peripheral, or a certain new color/controller that is livid edition, but then we see nothing but a big Zelda reveal at the end of the conference. Sure, we had typical Square Enix, we've see typical third party publishers coming forth, but what makes me really excited was they still focused more on their games, and pushed to showcase just what the system does, the versatility of it, but also that the system would run on a battery that can be played while be charged. For a full-on console, which fhis is being pressed as, not just some gimmick handheld, it will work well in that regard. However, the system doesn't have a camera, it doesn't have standards for most other tablets, and we know how wretched Nintendo handles apps, how it's online store is about as user-friendly as cuneiform, and there is absolutely no social media connection.
The system has some bad, bad traits that should never be allowed in the standard market. Nintendo Switch is itself a trend though, it isn't going to measure up in-regards to technology, graphics, or even a processor equivalent to say, the PS4, or Microsoft's Xbox One, it'll be even harder for it to compete against next generation consoles that will be coming out soon.
Honestly, I've counted out Nintendo for years, generations even, but they still seem to survive, they always seem to continue to move forward, and now we are getting a system that (for Nintendo) is pushing their personal limits. Although many people disagree with me in graphics, I tend to hold my opinion in a higher regard, in-terms of stating that a newer system should exceed the graphical abilities, and the processing pot of its former system. Sue, you can have retro games, that's a marker choice, not a market limitation. Still, once the full specifications are released, the true ones, not the nonsensical a ones that don't fit the true capabilities of the system, then, and only then will I believe that this system is a far-greater superior one of the Wii U, which was abandoned immediately after launch with little-to-no innovation. To be fair, most launches for all three newer systems were met with terrible innovations, even pressing past generation successes as HD remakes.
Honestly I don't think there is any reason that this system will be revolutionary, I think it's going to be mismanaged, aimed st American children, and leaving out most things children use. It's like your granddaddy made a system, but he left out all the things you love to do. It'll be great for long flights, it'll be lovely for keeping on a dorm room desk, and it'll be great for Mario party with up to eight people playing at once. At three hundred launch price, which a huge asterisk next to that one, it's a mixed bag of good and bad. Fanboys will love it regardless of the circumstances. This untested loyalty, perturbed by some monopolistic demagoguery forces these companies to do as they please, slide by with no check, no balance, just a blinding admiration towards companies that make so many false promises, taking on more they can chew, and asking us to deal with that, rather than be held accountable. Granted, Nintendo has usually launched with minor discrepancies, but the quality the business has plundered so greatly is only juxtaposed by the ecclesiastical surge of script writing for games. Dialogue exists again be use of gaming, some of the best written across all platforms and mediums.
This is not mutually exclusive to games, film (sic) if you'd like to call it that has become one of the worst offenders as well. The question now is will The Nintendo Sietch be successful? Will it become one of those systems that changes the game? The original Wii did this, becoming increasingly of the most successful systems of Nintendo's modern cycles. Or will it be just another console that fails, or sales that are less-than-stellar? I was raised on Nintendo, so my words aren't meant to be harmful, I question strongly because I am sick of the unaccountability of video game journalists, and the lack of accountability from these companies that put out wonton junk games that simply do not have any serious repercussions, because the fans journalist give them w pass, because it is now a sexy rope to, a quasi fame to write articles, but hold no accountability to the companies they report upon.
This problem comes more from companies buying journalists, from buying publications, and media outlets needed to get clicks, not holding people accountable. Nintendo gets hit hard normally, but guess what? You still need to hold some wccountability,and if that means tearing down a childhood hero, it means you do your damn job. This is ALL media, and the fact is media needs a paradigm to swoop in and then check it, a rather who watches the watchmen argument. I can, because I have no dog in this fight, say that Nintendo's system is looking to have one of the more prominent launches, and the rumor of the system being cartridge-based makes me believe that the abandonment of what is a far-superior source to those dreaded discs is a smarter move. In-the-end, Nintendo Switch holds the future of the company in-hand. The good thing is, we don't have long to wait to see this system up-close, and personal. The Switch will release in March, and we will be able to mass-market test-run it, and see if this will transform the gaming market for the better. If not, it'll be the first dud imto the next console cycle. o
