Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017

Well, GamerGate IS a hate campaign. What else do you call it?

Either you are trolling, or.............you actually believe the media, the same media who spent years trying to paint us as violent, only to get proven wrong by science. I'm not sure which is worse.

The CONleaks, FBI files, and JournoPros leaks all prove that the accusations were fabricated. You also fail to understand how propaganda works. The first word "gamer" means anything associated with it, WILL be associated with ALL gamer, this is deliberate, as the media are expert propagandists. If this was a joke, I understand, but if not, be careful what you believe from the media.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well, people who check their facts call it a hashtag movement that concerns itself with integrity in gaming journalism and against censorship.

First time I've seen that claim invoked to defend Gamergaters rather than to mock them. Does anyone really still believe it?
I'm not 100% sure this isn't sarcastic, but that would be incongruent.

Ask yourself what is more likely? That a rogue group from one of the most socially progressive communities on Earth became misogynists and harassed women cus misogyny? Or that the media, which has always hated gamers in the first place, spent years trying and failing to paint us as violent, decided that the wave of political correctness (that I believe started with an idiot radio host calling someone a slut for taking excessive amounts of birth control), and took advantage of the term "GamerGate" to paint ALL of us as misogynist woman haters, because science kept proving the whole violence thing wrong?

To me, the latter is far more plausible. I will say that GamerGate lacked the persuasion to have good PR(aside from Mike Cernovich, but he was more a sympathizer than a true GamerGater), and was too busy cucking itself to press ANY advantages it gained (seriously, I wish someone would throw mundane matt's fat ass off a building). But having bad PR doesn't mean you are wrong or that the malicious and evil gamer-hating media is correct. It's anti-gamer propaganda, they hate us gamers, always have.

@SUCCESSOR We're going to have to agree to disagree. I personally don't see how any company with any level of competence could possibly hire PR departments full of people with little to no understanding of persuasion, propaganda, or anything of the sort. To me, that makes no sense. Perhaps Nintendo is incompetent, but even that is hardly a defense, even then, they negligently slandered us.

I'm sure their PR is very apt at what they do. There is just no reason for them to care about GamerGate. It would do nothing for them to sort out the truth of GamerGate and it does nothing (significantly) ill to them to negligently slander it.

The laughter was sarcastic. I really don't know why I posted it. I was likely tired.

I imagine you are decidedly ignorant about GamerGate then, because that it what it has always been about. Considering a quick look on twitter still shows the tag being used to call out stupid censorship, I believe it. This guy believes it:

"I see GamerGate as the best modern example of how a false narrative can be socially engineered by coordinating the five C’s:

1. Confirmation Bias, leading to the cherry picking of only data that supports one’s position;

2. Composition Fallacy, arguing that a part defines the whole;

3. Clickbait Business Model, incentivizing sensational stories spread through social media;

4. Complicit Mass Media, pushing eagerly any War-Against-Women/harassment story;

5. Collectivism, justifying outrage and action for the “greater good.”

So what is GamerGate? From my one year of observation and interaction on Twitter, it’s simple: gamers pushing for free enterprise and free markets in the gaming industry; gamers asking for a competitive market free of collusion, free of corruption, and free of control of artistic creativity by authoritarians. In short, GamerGate is a freedom movement.

Don’t take my word for it. Scrape the Twitter API, code the content, run the statistical analysis. If you’re anti-GamerGate, you’ll be surprised by what you find."

Is it going to be cheaper to get it without the tiny handheld part? What happens if someone will only use it with an actual TV? I get that "Switch" is the gimmick but...

You can pay for the whole thing and that's it. Doesn't look like there are plans for having any one part (handheld/tv) seperate (which makes sense as it has for the longest time been called a console/handheld hybrid in the rumor scene) On a side note, there has been some additions to the Day 1 Launch titles. Not much really, but it now will be launching (in the USA) alongside the following purchasable titles:

1, 2, Switch
Human Resource Machine
I Am Setsuna
Just Dance 2017
Little Inferno
Skylanders Imaginators
Super Bomberman R
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth +
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
World of Goo

Btw, Japan gets the following:

1-2-Switch
Dragon Quest Heroes I & II for Nintendo Switch
Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna (I Am Setsuna)
Makai Senki Disgaea 5 (Disgaea 5 Complete)
Nobunaga no Yabou: Souzou with Power-Up Kit (Nobunaga's Ambition)
Puyo Puyo Tetris S
Super Bomberman R
Zelda no Densetsu: Breath of the Wild

Joycon bluetooth looks pretty weak which is discouraging. I was probably going to bite the bullet for higher resolution Zelda but I'll probably stick with free BoTW for Wii U for now. Hopefully a firmware update will improve it at the cost of battery life but I'll wait around a bit to find out.

As far as gamergate goes, I've read about it 15 times and I still have no idea what happened and who I should be mad at.
