It's a (supposedly very good) multiplayer game at heart but the training missions are well designed.  I just suck at it unless I turn shadow mode on, which kinda defeats the point.


Edit:

Trailer doesn't include any reference to improved specs on the CPU/GPU, which is interesting.

What are they supposed to be learning? I think Nintendo splitting their user base between Pro/Non-Pro is always something they'd rather avoid. This is just a nice optional extra for people who want a crisper screen.

That things do eventually run out of milk, usually before you realise and stop the milking.

I'm speaking prematurely I suppose but I don't have much faith that they have decent follow up plan to the Switch; just like they didn't with Wii, just like they didn't with Super Famicom.

That said, they are still not facing any substantial competition in the space of "powerful but portable console" so maybe it doesn't matter.

So my reaction is probably one of mere personal disappointment cos I wanted a better machine with bluetooth that works and so on

I’m very tempted. They’ve even decided to design it to be the baby brother to my PS5. Genius!

Fucking Nintendo. Such a them thing to do, randomly dropping it on a Tuesday a month after E3.

They were waiting for Reg to be on holiday. They know what side their bread is buttered.

Someone dissing the N64 in here?

I’m tempted. A better screen would be good and my current switch is falling to bits.

The official store is giving 64GB cards with the old switch.

This feels somewhat underwhelming given the rumours of improved specs, but like others have said there's a few negatives to splitting the user base.

GameBoy Pocket, GBA SP and DS lite were all similar upgrades to this, and they all seem to be fondly remembered.

Time shall tell.

I agree 100%

Plus they'll probably not want to split folks during a time when a game like Dread/BotW 2 is out. Or maybe BotW2 is the splitter.

The new stand is cool too

Yeah the chip shortages would have been my guess.

They better have fixed the drift issue though that's for sure. It can't be the third launch with drift still there.

Yup. Said before that it would be madness for Nintendo to enter the chip war right now. It would undermine their current product with one they almost certainly wouldn't be able to match the demand for.

I still think they will aim for a BotW2 simultaneous release of the new Switch and the game available on new and old versions. Development for the Switch Pro will delay the game into 2023, or that will be the line at least.
