so when will you buy the nintendo switch?
if your answer is not on the poll, just write it down..
i didn't put "i will not buy the switch" options because i am only interested to know when people decide to buy the new consoles nowadays.

Can you add an option that says:
"I'll wait until there is hints at it being hacked" :P
done
i thought about that one but i thought the usual drill, people who buy it early and don't update will very likely get the hax with no issue
buy it later and there is a change of the firmware being too high for the exploit

i remember the old days of the psp, the 1.00 firmware was hacked very early, then 1.50, next exploits took a longer time.. so, the people who want hacks, should buy it early as possible

When it has more games than the Wii U.
(So, you mean you will buy it at launch? /s)

I'm tired of funding Nintendo failures.
First show me it is not yet another flop, then I buy.

Day one. I want to play my zelda game. Plus the girlfriend's kid will want to play. And it's easier to keep it on super low firmware when you buy day one.

Nintendo have a lot to prove to me after the Wii and Wii U. The fact they haven't even announced any games other than Zelda for the system and said they have no plans to this year makes me worry.

I think it's a great looking console. But it has no D pad and the portable mode seems to have a very significant frame rate problem. My general feeling with nintendo is that the next version of their portables is the way to go.

they praticall announced skyrim port... and mario game in the announcement video
but you know... if the ps3 version is broken as hell, the pc also has loasd of bugs that are fixed with fan patches... i will not expect that much on the switch (btw, nintendo swift is a totally better name! you swiftly change from tablet to home console, maybe cuz switching it's not swift :C )

I told my dad to buy me one yesterday and he is buying me one on launch day.

tell your dad to buy me one as well :wub::wub:

This article http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/10/nintendo-switch-trailer-may-not-show-actual-game-footage/ suggests all of that "game play" footage may have been added in in post processing. I wouldn't make any inferences about mobile fps just yet.

During the next Lunar Eclipse.

The next Lunar eclipse after NS launch is August 7th 2017 (But it won't be viewable from North America). The next total Solar eclipse in the US will occur August 21st 2017 - two weeks later.

No. Your dad works for Nintendo, right? Why doesn't he give you a dev one?
cuz dad believes in the old chinese saying "by giving a wii u for free after being such a failure can instantly killing the whole company"
my dad says if he gives me 1, that console is not sold and can ruin nintendo :(

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark
    +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    FNF was born from Game Jams
