Nintendo Switch Hype is Reaching Critical Levels

[bigjerry]

Wii U would be an inferior option even with identical functionality. The controller is designed to be an expensive point of failure to drive hardware sales. You can't navigate the main menu of the console to open shit if the touch screen (made of soft cheap ass plastic) gets a tiny nick, even though no games utilize the touch functionality. lool

The business model now is to sell a recurring bill to children's parents who rationalize it at purchase time as a one-payment investment. It's pretty sick.

the thing you put your hands on has no business being expensive unless that grants the console portability or some kind of meaningful functionality. my keyboard cost $8 and i cum on it intentionally just to flex on newjack console tards, l8r nerds

Yeah sadly the Dreamcast core is horrible on it. Luckily I still have a working Dreamcast console so I'm not too upset about it especially since RA is solid for SNES, Genesis, N64, GB emulation.

Yea I use it for everything on my PC minus dreamcast (nulldc still crashes less) and psp (core is at 1.0.2 iirc and stand alone at 1.3.1?) plus wii/gc I use dolphin and cemu for wii u. Emulation scene is awesome atm with vulkan api, cemu, citra, rpcs3, and Xenia making waves.

Besides cumming on keyboards I agree with you. Its not just a business model pertaining childrens stuff, but everything from your kitchen knives to bathroom installations.

WiiU is terrible, I bought it outa habit for Nintendo things but more or less never used it. Tried to use just the pad for internet surfing but it has no range, loads pages super slow, fail to load many pages etc. Screen nicks and "bubbles" so quick too.
My theory is they made a Pad for Wii, but instead of launch it for Wii they reshelled it into a WiiU "new console" - my guess is they did not loose any money on it either.
I dont buy into the official numbers businesses/magazines report of venue.

Love my old electronics, I still watch tv on my old Sony or Bang&Olufsen CRT tvs, I find it easier on the eyes. I also use old Panasonic plasma tvs and Hitachi projector, all of whom I find produce better image than most new TVs. Modding old consoles are fun and having superCIC RGB modded machines like SNES and Genesis are great for visitors. Gotta use CRT then! I use VHS alot too and can port my old homemade action movies from SVHS easily using a DVD recorder. I still film on MiniDV.
Japan made so much good equipment back in the days.

The crt shaders are pretty baller on modern emulation. I know it's not playing it on real hardware but it's still nice medium.

Anyone here enjoying the Nintendo Switch 1 month on? The Hype was real and I love my Switch.
Only problem I have with it now is waiting patiently for new games.
The Neo Geo games do not interest me.
If anyone is thinking of buying a Switch it wont be a bad idea to get one at the end of the year.
