Yeah heard the conference didn't go so well. I also think they're pricing themselves out of the market (in the UK anyway). Switch is retailing at £280 with no game bundled; 300 and something with Zelda. Xbox One and PS4 both cheaper with bundled games and will have all the games that Nintendo won't get. Fifa will be on the Switch, but it will be a port of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
In America the Switch is priced as $300 and the pro controller (an alternative to the default controllers) are approaching $70, while the default controllers come in pairs worth $80 together and around $50 each if bought separately. This doesn't even factor in all the other accessories coming to market , including storage cards priced at $200 and above that every gamer will need if they plan on playing more than two games on the Switch, because the hard drive storage of the device is so poor. Just the new Zelda game will take up 40% of the storage on the device, for crying out loud.
If those crazy prices don't change, Nintendo are in big trouble because Sony and Microsoft price cheaper and have endlessly better deals, games and bundles to offer consumers. Not to mention that their reputation and business practices are already horrid.
It wasn't really all that scary, which I kinda guessed from the gameplay trailers. Sure, there was some occasions I had a scare. But I was nervous for most of the the eleven hour I played the game.
It was mostly a self contained story. Only at the later part of the game it had some ties to the full resident evil lore. The end left the room open for a sequel. For the playable character this was conclusive end. But there was few things that were shown in the ending sequence that raised questions about the the bigger things happening after Resident Evil 6 and the current events. Nothing was told but there was a few things that were shown.
It was not perfect. I thought it ended too soon. But I guess sometimes you want more. As self contained story it works well. Just for me to want to know more about the events that surrounded this story doesn't necessary mean you have to drag the story any longer. Maybe we get to know more in Revelations 3 or RE 8.
It's not quite a 10 out of 10 game, so I'll give it a 8/10.
I really hope that Nintendo eventually learns to do what Sega did and become a software only company. The only things they have that are worth anything are their ip's, but it's not worth buying an entire console just to play a new Mario and Zelda game. Mario can run around just fine on the PS4 and X Box, which is why I'm hoping that the Switch will be as much of a flop as the WiiU.
The prices they have for the system and all its accessories can run you near $500 and beyond, meaning that the market of kids they could've benefited from won't be getting the system as a gift from their parents any time soon. They should've held off and released it during the holiday season where they could make instant sales. Doing it now just makes no sense.
How does it compare with Fifa 16?
@Murdock Quoting IGN; "Nintendo has revealed that Breath of the Wild will release on March 3, 2017, alongside the Switch. It will also come to the Wii U on the same day."

kinda overrated and didn't age well at all, Metroid prime will be playable for the next century it's easily the best of the series!
The fact that you don't have to pay for multiplayer, and that PC games are cheaper (especially with Steam sales) would easily make up the $60 price difference. On top of that, you have a pocket sized Windows 10 PC with a keyboard for getting business done on the go. Granted, many of the newest titles on low settings usually get frame rates comparable to the N64, if they run at all, but older titles will obviously do better. There is also the option of running emulators for even more portable gaming fun.
The birth of one of my favourite videogame series. The last mission I played, was the 'Kalinatek' one. I like to think of the 6 games as being like the first 6 Bond films. This first game, while showing it's age, still had an innovative use of lighting/shadows, and remains one of my favourite espionage/stealth based games.
Those early few 'Splinter Cell' titles are some of my favorite in the series, and definitely some of the best stealth games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. I'm surprised this series hasn't had a new installment with a return to its stealth roots, I'd definitely give it a go.
I enjoy replaying them all except for Conviction, which i've never played because it was never ported to the PS3. At some point, I will pick up a XBX 360 for those XBX exclusives.
There is, or was, a rumour going around that the next game is in development, and Ironside is going to return. It's looking more like Bond with each game. ;)
What a great game! I tried the "00 Agent" difficulty level for the very first time and I was really surprised to discover two bonus levels after I finished the game. I had read about them, but didn't remember anything until I saw them. I was really excited to fight against Jaws and Baron Samedi.
Going back to what I said about Bond and SP, Blacklist, the 6th game, and the one without Michael Ironside as Fisher... I like that game as well. It's still fisher, he just doesn't look or sound like the Fisher we'd come to know over previous games. If Ironside does return, I pray that it won't be the series' DAF. I don't want to see an out of shape Fisher with a bad wig.
@MajorDSmythe, I hope that isn't the case, either: just keep that crisp voice of his attached to a younger version of Fisher, and return the game to its roots of stealth. I'd buy the game day one, no questions asked, if that was the case. I don't want another generic third-person shooter, I want to go back to the roots of the original.
