Will switch 2 be a hit? Wii U pre-orders were also sold out

Will switch 2 be a hit? Wii U pre-orders were also sold out

It's hard to say. I can say it doesn't appeal to me and the only thing currently listed as a Switch 2 game that holds any interest is the new Layton (which I honestly hope has a Switch 1 version still).

Wii U

botched marketing and one of the competition didn't fuck it up

Switch

Didn't botch marketing and the 2 other competition are absolutely dismal and more expensive

It's likely to e another hit. But for it you need games; game systems live and die through their software

3DS launch level success, but this time around they will be too stubborn to drop the price and will just stay the course assuming it will recover as they release more games.

feels more like a 3DS situation than a wiiU repeat. only problem is there isn't really a gimmick. at least the 3DS had streetpass and cameras and gyro and shit to pack it. the switch 2 technically has all those things but none of the soul.

nintendo has officially lost their soul

Pre-orders don't mean anything because 90% of them are from scalpers.

I hope they bring back themes and the badge arcade

badge arcade

I miss that fucking jewbunny. How did modern Nintendo managed to make something that soulful and likeable?

switch 2? more like switch to something better

The PS5? Shiiiiet, the PS5 ain't got no games.

Wii U never had 2.2 million preorders in japan. that's what it sold lifetime over there

didn't botch marketing

There's almost no good news with this console, anon. They couldn't even be assed to properly deal with stick drift with hall effect sticks. For every good piece of news(even if we're being incredibly charitable and also just listing each launch title as a good thing) there are two bad things.

The 3DS launched with zero fucking games. Nobody was buying the console for Steel Diver, and it was expensive as hell for what it was which is why they dropped the price. Switch 2 is reasonably priced in comparison.

There's almost no good news with this console, anon.

it's another episode of "kid making a tantrum on the internet in futily"

That routine got tired 2 days in. If there's a problem like drifting, you open the thing and fix it yourself

Hall Effect isnt the end all be all of anti drift tech these days. 8bitdo stopped doing it entirely and switched to a new type of stick

Gaming isn't the same as a decade ago

Gaming is what it is today because a decade ago.

unironically justifying stick drift

"don't expect Nintendo to actually sell you a working product, just fix it yourself"

lmao

But Nintendo has had multiple opportunities to do other things besides hall effect sticks to stop stick drift with the release of multiple iterations of the OG switch and never did.

but at least buying the 3DS was like buying a shiny new toy. it had the AR cards, the face shooting game, streetpass, it had fun features built it at launch. even though you probably played DS games on it at first, it still had some new features to be excited about. the switch 2 has... a mouse? you can just connect a bluetooth mouse to any device who fucking cares? and they want to charge for the fun pack in features now. that $90 user manual is a fucking CRAZY move

coping this hard because nintendo lives rent free in his head

Yeah, keep forgetting 360 lmao. But sure "justifying Nintendo"

It's on track to sell 120 million
The highest selling Nintendo console, the Wii, sold 100 million

Is it literally impossible for Nutendo to design a UI with soul? All of their designs after the Wii have been depressingly corporate and soulless.

Personally, I preordered the WiiU and will be skipping the Switch 2. And honestly, I enjoyed my time with the WiiU more than I did the Switch.

You're the only one who thinks the product was working properly anon. Everyone else, even the president of the company acknowledged that it was fucked. You're not just a cuck but delusional as well.

coming from someone-

Who never justified the selling of defective hardware? That's me. It's trash no matter what company does it. Or when they did it. Or if they were able to get away with it. Microsoft or Nintendo or anyone.
Now, someone who only justifies the selling of defective hardware when it's Nintendo treating them like a retarded dog? That's you. Fucking pathetic.

I genuinely hate everything about the switch 2 so far with a passion but I might only get it just because a few of the games might be good like Smash 6 or air ride 2 and potentially whatever else they might announce lol.

I enjoyed my time with the WiiU more than I did the Switch.

In retrospect the Switch library was pretty bare outside of Wii U ports and enhanced Wii U ports
I still can't believe it never got a real Mario Kart even

snoy cope

Reminder: NDS is above 100 millions and Switch got so close to ps2 in less time that sony had to cheat the numbers twice

its more like technology in general has stagnated
when was the last time a new phone had some cool new feature other than slightly better specs and slightly better camera?

It's trash no matter what company does it. Or when they did it.

And yet in all your tantrum you achieve nothing. At some point you have to understand you, as consumer, lost with no possible comeback. I guess you'll take this as a personal attack for some reason

b-but your company. Y-you're a cuck

My newest nintendo console is a 2dsxl. Your projection misses the target

sorry, I like my system being able to start quickly and not needing to load a dozen widgets and apps.

NDS

handheld

Switch

handeld

Nintendo handhelds always sell well, that's why they put all their eggs in the handheld basket and dropped out of the console race

Switch

handeld

*Home AND handheld

i was ultra hyped but seeing how the graphics weren't anything special, there were no games i'm interested in at launch, and games will be $80, they lost me completely

who fucking knows, Anon Babble is dogshit at predictions

nintendo has officially lost their soul

welcome to a world without Iwata. Nintendo has gone full corporate the moment he died and Reggie left. nothing will change it back to the way it was.

It's a handheld. You could at best argue it's a handheld with an HDMI out (like a steam deck, and yet nobody has the gall to call that a hybrid) but the Switch Lite completely dropped any pretense of being anything more than a handheld.

will probably be a hit but i really dont like the whole game keycard thing

Switch lite is the usual affordable revision they always make by removing features; switch lite removed home console features. You could argue Switch lite is the handheld version of it

It won't sell 160 gorillion but it'll probably get to or pass the 100m mark when it's all said and done, yeah. 3DS to DS basically.

well that's obviously what it is, but where is the nintendo "soul"? so what? you added mouse functionality. they didn't even show off a game that uses the damn mouse. even a fucking web browser would have been a "cool feature". there's fucking nothing. civilization and 2 seconds of zelda using the mouse feature. holy shit. wow. why not pack in a mario paint style game. why not just pack in mario paint? what the fuck are they doing. absolutely nothing showing off the mouse feature, which is not even groundbreaking to begin with. it's like they don't care anymore. even the wii U had nintendoland which used every aspect of the gamepad in some unique way. instead they have a non-game they want you to pay for to learn how the system works or some shit? idk was that even supposed to be. it looked like a training video for a retail store

I'm gonna buy it since money isn't an issue for me and this is where Nintendo games will be for the next 7-8 years.

What ticks me off is when people here act like they can't live a minute without nintendo's cock in their ass. "Muh preorder?? Muh preorder broskis??? Where is it???" It's just Mario Kart faggot. You can live without it day 1.

If a wet fart like PS5 has 75millions in +5 years out of its 10 year of lifecycle then Swicth 2 is more than capable of reaching 80millions in 6. Even more when it has the advantage of... having games, on top of being the cheapest one of the lot.

The real question is; how hard will the nex xbox and PS flop seeing the drove themselves into releasing $1000 machines with no games or exclusives at this point?

Isn't Sony already talking about a PS6 at this point? There also might not be a pandemic this time to shoot sales to the moon. I still think it'll break 100m, I just don't think it'll pass the PS2 or the original Switch. Granted, we've yet to see any heavy hitters. Maybe Zelda and Mario blow everyone away and move 60m units or something.

Switch Lite:Switch::2DS:3DS
Both the Switch Lite and the Switch are handhelds.

And yet in all your tantrum you achieve nothing.

Anon neither of us achieve anything useful posting on Anon Babble, we're just having fun arguing. I do get to see you writhe and flail about pretending that Nintendo's defective hardware is just fine, though, which is quite amusing.

I don't hold any affinity whatsoever to nintendo I swear

Then you should have no trouble outright copping to the fact that Switch joycons were(and still are) defective hardware, to the point that the president had to publicly apologize for them.
And you'd be in agreeance that selling defective hardware is trash no matter which company does it or when or if they get away with it.
And you'd be just as critical of how Nintendo went from the Switch to the Switch Lite to the Switch OLED and drift was still a problem for all three iterations, which was particularly hilarious when the Lite didn't even have swappable joycons.
But whenever I bring up any of these points, instead of agreeing like someone with no delusional loyalty to Nintendo, you deflect and obfuscate and do anything you can to avoid addressing the subject, to the point that all you'll say in response to this post is quote 5 words and say "nice seething but remember microsoft haha". You can say you're just pretending to be a trained dog for Nintendo if you like, but if it shits like a retard then I'll treat it like a retard.

Isn't Sony already talking about a PS6 at this point?

Only rumors afaik or someone memeing it really fucking hard on the internet. Because it's a really fucking bad idea even worse considering the whole idea spawned in the middle of Jim Ryan as president and that guy was PS3 the CEO.

I still think it'll break 100m, I just don't think it'll pass the PS2 or the original Switch. Granted, we've yet to see any heavy hitters. Maybe Zelda and Mario blow everyone away and move 60m units or something.

Nintendo always has the cheaper version card to play, which can help for that as well.

Anon neither of us achieve anything useful posting on Anon Babble, we're just having fun arguing

You don't sound too happy to be having fun...

Then you should have no trouble outright copping to the fact that Switch joycons were(and still are) defective hardware, to the point that the president had to publicly apologize for them.

Correct. Hence I don't really care about it despite you being triggered and trying to convince others into it.

Both the Switch Lite and the Switch are handhelds.

Switch is hybrid.

You don't sound too happy

I enjoy arguing with people, if you're not having fun then you don't have to keep responding to me.

Correct.

Glad I could change your position from here and here Where you retardedly thought that the product was not defective and said people should just be expected to fix controller issues themselves.

this sounds like projecting if you erase the company name

I hope it's a hit.

Glad I could change your position from here (You) and here (You)

Where you retardedly thought that the product was not defective and said people should just be expected to fix controller issues themselves.

There's no change anon, it's the same dismissive. Once again; I, personally, don't care about it. Any company. If my product has a design flaw I fix it myself, if I got it in the first place ofc

Wii U pre-orders were also sold out

Only in America

me too, only just to spite that nigger dreamcastguy though.

It's a handheld

It's a home console. It doesn't have any handheld games whatsoever.

It doesn't have any handheld games whatsoever.

Not the faggot you quoted but iirc it has

Captain Toad

DKC Returns

At least. There are more iirc

no change

You said the product worked fine earlier, and now when I tell you the product was(and still is) defective, you say I'm correct. Pretend you don't care now if it makes you feel better but you've been defending it and Nintendo for the past hour. But I don't expect you to admit you were wrong, I'm just happy I could change your position to one that isn't retarded.

Stop wasting your time trying to convince others on the internet. I don't care; if there's a problem, I'll fix it myself. Consumers lost; new system will be flawed, anyone with a brain must adapt instead of complaining.

Let's say the Wii U came out in 2012 at $450
Do you think the outrage would have been anywhere near as high? Of fucking course not, nobody cared about the Wii U. It's because literally everyone wants a Switch 2 that there's such an outcry for the pricing. Not to mention that the forecast for the thing in Japan at launch is utterly absurd at well over 600% the demand of the original Switch, the Switch 2 is going to have all Japanese games.

Other than that, it's just been sour grapes from people trying to justify them being upset about not getting one as an informed choice they made. Actually loling at people saying digital games existing means it's awful, like they're JUST now realizing what digital games are, and that you own NOTHING PHYSICAL. Or that they can't homebrew their console and connect to the internet without bricking it, something they clearly never did before because this has been something all consoles that have updatable firmware have done.

But Eric's been on overtime for the past 6 weeks. Famitsu threads got shut down because he would start spamming CP after being so upset over Switch sales, he spammed it during the Switch 2 Direct, and he's also the reason the archive got shut down for a while.

stop wasting your time

We're all wasting time posting on Anon Babble. Just be thankful you were able to have your mind changed through talking to me. Have a nice day.

Just be thankful you were able to have your mind changed through talking to me.

You're really being obtuse on purpose, huh? Unluckily for you; I'm getting myself a switch 2 at some point

Have a nice day.

Likewise

Eric

you people really need to take your meds

Game keycards are the worst of both physical and digital, and it's astoundingly retarded how they thought this would be a good decision. I've yet to talk to a single person who didn't think this was awful, some are just resigned to dealing with it.

i only want a launch day model for the very slim chance we get homebrew capability on it

I don't know if he's in this thread since I don't take pleasure in seeking out shit to smell, but his posting style is really obvious. He's an actual dedicated schizo (or bot or Discord raider) who would appear in the same threads for years, responding to himself over and over until bump limit. He often made the threads just so he could shit in them.

Isn't gamecard similar to all the licenses shit they have dealing with since Steam and the whole digital advent?

every thread backfired on him

I can't grasp how funny it's +50 threads in total defeat

Hey guys, does anyone here know a game engine that doesn't require programming and code knowledge?

I have an idea for a game but I don't have the resources.

yesterday we had a switch 2 thread claiming preorders aren't selling as much

now preorders being out of stock don't matter because it also happened with the wii u

Well which one is it?

3ds 2.0 incoming

At least. There are more iirc

Anon, you couldn't even name one since both of those games are Wii U and Wii ports respectively and they weren't handhelds.
Anyway, you clearly don't understand what a handheld game is. It's just not a game that's made on a handheld, it's a exclusive version of a game that differs from the home console version completely like Tony Hawk's Underground, the GBA version was "obviously" a completely different 2d isometric game and that went all the way up to the 3ds with games like Sonic Generations.

After that handheld games died.

I don't care I will just pirate and emulate

I don't care about any game released after covid with very few exceptions like the project wingman dlc
My little chinese gameboy has enough 10/10 masterpiece tier games to last me a lifetime

If someone could please help me I would be very grateful.
