 <\/p>\n

I consider myself to be a pretty avid gamer, and one who has always followed Nintendo. I grew up playing Nintendo 64 with Super Mario 64 being the first game I completed 100% at the age of 7 years old. With that being said, the past two Nintendo consoles (Wii & Wii U) have left much to be desired. While they were innovative, they just didn\u2019t match up with Sony and Microsoft\u2019s powerhouse consoles. But growing up as a Nintendo fan, the little kid inside of me still got excited when I found out Nintendo would be showing off an announcement trailer for their new console set to release in March of next year.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

What Is This New Console?<\/h4>\n

The Nintendo Switch<\/a> blurs the line between console and handheld gaming. With this new console, Nintendo wants you to bring your gaming experience anywhere \u2013 a bus, a plane, the park or your couch. The console is powered by a \u2018tablet\u2019 that you place inside the console. If you want to take it on the go, you simply pop it out and take it with you.<\/p>\n

The announcement also emphasized its multiplayer focus. The controller can be pulled apart, be placed on the screen or given to friends to play multiplayer games. In short, this is a console that can\u00a0be played by anyone, anywhere.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Really, We\u2019re Going To Call It The Nintendo Switch?<\/h4>\n

Seriously, can Nintendo not come up with good names? Since it\u2019s creation, I\u2019ve hated the name \u2018Wii\u2019 and we\u2019ve had to deal with two consoles under that name! Now they have a chance to make up for it with a cool name, and they call it \u2018Switch\u2019? Granted, it\u2019s better than \u2018Wii\u2019 but it\u2019s still so bland!<\/p>\n

Yes, I realize the numbering system of PlayStation isn\u2019t exactly creative, and the third generation of Xbox\u2019s being called \u2018Xbox One\u2019 still doesn\u2019t make a lick of sense to me, but Nintendo is THE creative front runners for creative gaming \u2013 make a name that shows this! They almost touched greatness with the name \u2018Revolution\u2019, but we all know how that ended.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Where\u2019s The Innovation?<\/h4>\n

This leads me to my next point \u2013 where\u2019s the innovation Nintendo? Yes, it\u2019s portable, but the PlayStation 4 has been doing this with the PlayStation Vita for quite some time \u2013 though arguably not to the same extent. While yes, this looks like a great feature for a console, it\u2019s just not the innovation that Nintendo is known and loved for.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve previously stated, I\u2019m not a huge fan of the Nintendo Wii & Wii U. From a gamer\u2019s perspective, outside of the core Nintendo titles there just weren\u2019t many games that appealed to me. I\u2019m also what many call a \u2018graphics snob\u2019 so when the original Wii came out with PS2 graphics while the Xbox 360 and PS3 were giving us almost CG-quality graphics, I was very off put.<\/p>\n

With that being said, the Wii & Wii U were both extremely innovative for their time. Up until then, motion controls were almost unheard of and the Wii U allowed people to utilize dual screens at home. This completely changed how games played, and no other consoles had this at the time. What does \u2018Switch\u2019 have? It forfeited these innovations for portability. Don\u2019t get me wrong, portability in consoles is an awesome idea \u2013 but again it\u2019s just not Nintendo. Give us a new way to play games, not just the ability to play them on a bus.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Perhaps The Glass Is Half Full<\/h4>\n

It may sound like I\u2019m giving Nintendo a lot of grief for the Nintendo Switch, but it\u2019s just because as someone who has grown up with Nintendo consoles, I want to see them succeed. After the Wii & Wii U, Nintendo\u2019s not really in the best of lights with serious gamers. Even large game companies had dropped support for them, and as such the consoles had been missing out on huge AAA titles.<\/p>\n

The Nintendo Switch is Nintendo\u2019s chance to redeem themselves with the gamers. It\u2019s a chance to gain the trust back from third party developers and show that they have a console that can redeem past errors. While the presentation was underwhelming, it didn\u2019t show too much of the most important aspect of success \u2013 the games.<\/p>\n

I want to be excited for the Nintendo Switch. While I\u2019m super excited for a new \u2018Super Mario\u2019 and \u2018Zelda\u2019 game, a part of me can\u2019t shake off the feeling that this console may be the final nail in Nintendo\u2019s coffin. In time, we\u2019ll learn more about the pricing, features and games \u2013 all of which are vitally important aspects for determining the success of this new console.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
