So where’s the trailer?
Cool For e Nintendo Switch 😀
The Internet is asploding
Saw new content for Splatoon and Mario Kart! 😮
Interesting concept. Want to know what price point it would be
I’m gonna guess $400…
I’m gonna go with $500-550
I wouldn’t be surprised, but they’re always talking about making them affordable for families and stuff.
True enough, but with the inflation since the Wii U was released and the time and funding that went into this, it’s probably going to be more expensive than usual… I’ll compromise and say $450 xD
I guess they also didn’t show any families in the preview xD
F*** families, get money =P
This honestly looks amazing.
Huh, looks pretty good. I wonder if it’ll get a Pokemon title 🙂
It will. It’s been confirmed by Tsunekazu Ishihara, the CEO of TPC, that there will be Pokemon games for the switch. And apparently within six months it will get a game made BY GAME FREAK (I.e. Main series Pokemon). I can’t confirm the latter though.
Im really happy they have a regular controller along with the handheld part
I was never excited for this, never really cared, thought people were greatly exaggerating what this new console represented… But after this, I am happy to say I was wrong. This isn’t just setting a new standard for gaming, but for tech in general!
So we have a new Mario and Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Breath of the Wild (obviously), Skyrim, and NBA. I’m ready to make the Switch.
I thought it was more of the suggestion that it can play previous titles.
*Rimshot*
well we dont know if Mario kart and Splatoon aren’t ports? because Mario kart Switch looks like 8 with the same hud, but with new things like King Boo
Because they have features that weren’t in MK8 or Splatoon.
Could be updates or dlc
they could still be ports just with more stuff added to them to make them different from the wii u version. and what does splatoon have different i didnt notice
Hairstyles for one
New hairstyles, camera angles and graphics. I want to wait for the GameXplain analysis because they’ll go deeper.
hm who knows tho, either way im gonna get both games lol
If they’re ports they’re still improved ports
yea ik. im happy either way because they have new things added to it
“I’m ready to make the Switch.”
You took that goddamn opportunity with a smirk on yo’ mothafuckin’ face, didn’t you?
Honestly, this should be their slogan or something. I’m ready to make the Switch. Are you?
I’m so excited for this console!
What about your ShinyXatu? Is he ready for the switch?
OMG this thing looks incredible!!
Everyone’s excited for Nintendo Switch and I’m just sitting here thinking f**k…Pokémon on 1 screen again…
Truthfully tho I am excited and can’t wait to buy it. It really is just take your console out with you.
OOHHHHHHH
OIOOHHHHH
IM SOLD LET ME GIVE YOU NY MONEY
AAAHHHH
THIS IS THE BEES KNEES WOOOOAAH
SKYRIM IS ON A NINTENDO SYSTEM OMG WOAAAHHH
Skyrim already steals people’s lives, but taking it on the go? Man, now they just need to put it on VR to complete Bethesda’s evil scheme
I’m just glad the new Mario game is fully 3D and not another sidescrolling platformer. This system has potential!
Could it be the next 3D world??
I am so buying this console. Unreal tech
The question is, when can I preorder and start making payments? That way I won’t have to shell out $400 or whatever all at once. (Note how the question is NOT if I’ll be getting this. Of course I’ll be getting this!)
People shit on the N Switch because the tablet design failed in the WiiU, but lets be real. Which is superior? I feel like Nintendo released the WiiU as a beta to fix everything wrong with it. Just like X an Y. Personally, I’m super excited for that new Mario. Imagine a Pokemon or Pikmin game on that OWO.
OWO whats this
The problem is the GamePad feels like an afterthought and served so much less than it could’ve
The two screens here are actually being implemented and used it seems
True. Coming from the owner of a WiiU, I was impressed by the idea, but felt it could go further. Is this the future of handheld gaming? Because with this, the console market just got rocked. Imagine GTA IV on this… The possibilities are endless ^^
Pokemon on this will be amazing
People shit on the N Switch? Have you looked at the comment section of their Facebook posts?? People are really pumped for it! And believe me – their comment sections are usually very negative.
I really hope this is as great as they say it is. The over all design seems pretty good, but as far as what’s under the hood is concerned I hope its decently powerful……We can’t have another Wii U……I know it won’t be as strong as the PS4 and Xbone, but close will do it for me lol
if this system can handle 2k17 on a handheld screen. honestly i can see amazing graphics coming from this system alone
Console gaming in the toilet? Yeah
I already do that
Unfortunately, I’m not lucky enough to be allowed to put a TV in the toilet
I used a DVD player with the RWY connectors for the Gamecube. All it took was a stool, and a powerstrip
Alright I got to start working
This time I’m going to be a savvy gamer and find out as soon as possible to purchase and reserve one because it looks freaking amazing
Seems as though we might not get a handheld from Nintendo for a long time. This is the best of both worlds. It’s up for debate whether Pokémon would come to the Switch.
A 3D Pokemon game? I am going to die peacefully XP
Pretty sure Nintendo already came out and said they’re developing Pokemon games for the Switch
I mean a mainline game.
Yeah why wouldn’t they? I honestly see Sun and Moon being the last handheld games tbh. The whole game seems to be a celebration of 20 years of Pokemon. Perhaps the gen 4 remakes might be on 3DS, but I see gen 8 and onward on Switch.
Tsunekazu Ishihara has said they’re making a game for the Switch, and there was a rumour that Game Freak was making a game to be released within six months of the Switch being released
Gen 4 remakes in October/November 2017? I could see that happening tbf
Closer. Six months from March is September… I can’t confirm the part about that though, but there are definitely Pokemon games coming for it.
Even better, But my reply contradicts my below comment. I could see the gen 4 remakes being on 3DS and the next mainline (presumably gen 8) game on Switch.
So if there are no delays we might see it hit March 27
That’s 23 weeks
About 5 months~! Way sooner than I expected.
Cant wait till I can preorder this baby. Imagine not having it in your possession
Seeing Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon, I wonder if Sun and Moon would get Switch ports. I’d prefer not, because then features will possibly be witheld from the 3DS versions.
I’m not sure how they would incorporate the 3ds’ two screens for a port
The screen is big enough it can probably be split. We see this in Mario Kart multiplayer.
I hope they have more to show off than just ports though.
Yeah!
Plot twist
That’s why the Dex is so underwhelming
HA! XD
