Nintendo Switch Select Launches March 3rd

"You make the comment about Wii Sports, and certainly, the example that it's an excellent usage of the Joy-Con and flaunts the abilities of the system, that is definitely true," Fils-Aime stated. "I would say, though, that 1, 2, Switch has much more experiences-- it's a larger pallet of experiences, potentially more akin to Wii Play than to Wii Sports. And, once again, from that standpoint, Wii Play was a standalone piece of software both with a controller at the time and without, so that's probably the much better example."

When asked particularly about 1, 2, Switch and how it looks like the ideal evolution of the Wii Sports-style bundled video game, Fils-Aime acknowledged the similarities in between the 2. However, he challenged this to some degree, arguing 1, 2, Switch is a more extensive video game.

Fils-Aime described that Nintendo started by determining the cost they desire to be at--$ 300 in the United States-- and worked to reach it. There are specific things that just could not be overlooked of the plan, like the Joy-Cons and different cable televisions.

" The first choice that we make is, where do we wish to be in regards to the hardware cost point that's going to be approachable and struck the marketplace we desire? And from a United States rate point, we desired to be at $299," he said. "Certainly, lower is constantly better, but at a $349 or $399 rate point, we simply didn't feel that was the ideal location to be. So we begin there. Then it's all about, what's going to be included? Undoubtedly the addition of the 2 Joy-Con, critically important; all the right cable televisions, the dock, seriously important. We likewise have to do this from a financial viewpoint. Once we got to that bundle, it truly required to be at $299 without a piece of software."

" We take a look at every launch uniquely as to exactly what's the right thing to do for that launch," Fils-Aime informed GameSpot in an interview today. "And I've been included in launches going back to the Nintendo DS. Every one is a little bit different. For this launch, exactly what we found is that with the series of software application that's coming-- not just available the first day but through April and into the summer season, and including the vacation timeframe with Super Mario Odyssey-- that we wished to enable the customer to buy the software they desire, to look to get to the most friendly rate point we might get to. That led us to a $299 rate point, and let the customer decide what games they wish to buy."

Unlike the Wii and Wii U, the Switch won't come with any bundled video games in order. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has now explained why.

Switch launches on March 3 with identically priced two variations: one with gray Joy-Cons, and one with neon-colored Joy-Cons. At this point, the launch lineup appears to be rather sporadic, although The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be there on day one.

Rainbow 6 Patch Dec. 15th 2016 SMGS get buffed against rifles with recoil decrease, New PVP Map, Tachanka Buffed

So it's finally here. The long awaited SMG buff is finally coming tomorrow. I haven't tried it out on test but it looks pretty good.

The recoil reduction should make them much more viable against rifles although I still expect rifles to still be king.

The Tachanka Shield on the turret should make things much easier for him though like planetside 2, you're vulnerable to flanking attacks and of course, back attacks. But hey, no one is 100% god mode.

The new modded Bartlett University Map had gas removed so it should be a lot more tolerable and fun to roam around and take cover during pvp matches. With the hours spent playing on it, I will enjoy it.

Consider getting some gift cards on amazon because in real life I enjoy smgs more than I do rifles.

NEW GTA 5 Online Expansion Import/Export Coming Out Soon

Well I've been waiting a long time for this one. I especially like water missions so I can't wait for the 50 cal. machine gun boat.

Not sure if there is any mention of new heists but hopefully the new missions are fun.

You get them as you acquire more cars, which unlock more mods, features and even more missions. Since you can store up to 60 new cars in the biggest executive garage, I'd imagine there are plenty of fun things to blow up to do.

Consider getting some gift cards on amazon because I like big boats with big 50 caliber Browning M2 machines guns on them.

Big patch Battlefield 1 is here. Medic Revive Train Nerfed Along with New Map Giant's Shadow

The amount of changes are massive but unfortunately thanks to the medic revive nerf, I can't farm as many points.

But on the other hand, it was needed as it broke a lot of matches.

The changes to shotguns and other recoil was nice though. Now we can use different guns finally.

Can't wait to try out the new grenade crossbow. Perhaps I should buy premium since I don't want to wait until December 20th to try out the new map.

You should buy a gift card on amazon because it's a nice way to send game gifts to your buddies.

The best though was of course, Boba Fett and the twi'lek girlfriend of his. They clearly spent a TON OF TIME and money making their shit. Bravo.

Microsoft, Big Brother, And YOU, Xbox GTA 4 Outsells PS3 Gta 4?

"There's been a lot of focus in the last week on Grand Theft Auto IV and which platform it best runs on.

The majority of people who've played both versions are saying that it runs marginally better on the PS3, but the findings are inconclusive at best: both are equally good in our eyes."

People shouldn't be surprised. The bigger the corporation, the greedier and more immoral they become (legally of course).

This is a textbook marketing technique to bash competition by using "data and facts" to prove something "true."

And I can bet you, it works, sadly. But take heart, Sony is a big, fat greedy company like Microsoft is, so both aren't going anywhere any time soon.
