With the conclusion of the Nintendo Switch Presentation, we have a whole slew of new information to share about the Nintendo Switch, including its release date, features, as well as some titles launching throughout the year.
Release Date and Price
The Nintendo Switch is set to launch March 3, 2017 for $300. This includes the main console, a pair of Joy-Con controllers, a grip, wrist straps, a Nintendo Switch dock, an HDMI cable, and an AC adapter. Two versions will launch, one with gray Joy-Cons and one with neon blue/red Joy-Cons.
The Joy-Cons
The presentation highlighted some interesting and unique functionalities for the Switch controllers. As we know, they can be popped off the side of the Switch and can be used to play two-player games. Each Joy-Con is characterized by a joystick, four face buttons, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, as well as small L/R shoulder buttons. The right Joy-Con has an AR camera that detects distance, as well as an NFC reader for Amiibo figures. The left Joy-Con has some different features, having the ability to capture screenshots. Both the left and right Joy-Con have a unique vibration feature called “HD Rumble.” A demonstration performed by Nintendo’s Yoshiaki Koizumi claims that the Joy-Con can feel as though you are holding a cup of ice, with the addition of each cube making it heavier and heavier. It will be a neat element to play around with, for sure.
Specs
Nintendo officially confirmed that the Switch has a 6.2-inch 720p screen that can be used for on-the-go play. The Switch has a default 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded, alongside two speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a slot on the top right for game cartridges. The Switch is reported to last anywhere between 2.5 to 6 hours, but can also be utilized while it is charging. Additionally, there will be no more region lock.
Accessories
Aside from what comes in the box, you will be able to purchase additional pairs of Joy-Cons for $79.99 and the Pro Controller for $69.99. A set of racing wheels and a Switch Dock Set can also be purchased for $14.99 and $89.99, respectively.
Online Service
Similar to other major consoles, the Switch is introducing a paid service that will start as a free trial at launch. The subscription includes online play, dedicated lobby and voice chat functionality, a monthly game download (NES or SNES), and additional exclusive deals. Price options were not discussed quite yet.
Switch Titles
A whole slew of titles were shown off for the Switch, some of which include:

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (April 28th)

Alongside these titles, there are a reported 80+ games currently in development for the Switch. No word on any Pokemon titles just yet, but there’s still plenty of time for that to happen. Nintendo will be hosting a special all-day Treehouse event starting at 6:30am PST/9:30am EST, so be sure to tune in and see what else they have in store!
I will think more about it later and will post a Entry about it, but my regional fish will be based on a Common Dragonet:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_dragonet
That’s a really interesting and out there fish, much better than my Atlantic Salmon XD
I’d love to see how it’ll develop, and I might have a slight hunch for what type it’ll be?
Nah an Atlantic Salmon sounds very cool!
Also, I am stuck on if it should evolve or not, but it might be the type you’re thinking of
Thanks, you’re too kind. It’s probably one of the most boring fish out there XD
I’m guessing yours will be Water/Dragon? A curveball wouldn’t be hugely surprising either due to how obvious it’d be
For a regional fish, a Atlantic Salmon fits the roll.
And I guess it could be Water/Dragon, but maybe Water/Fairy as a curveball XD
That’s an interesting fish :O
Does it evolve?
Maybe 😀
Monferno’s inspired me to post another Fakémon before I start studying
Name: Unsealin (Unseelie + Sea + Goblin)
Species: Savage Pokémon
Type: Dark/Fairy
Ability: Depth Dweller (This Pokémon is treated as if it’s also part Water-Type)
Egg Group: Water 2
Description: Basically a Goblin Shark, but with a dull pink/purple colour. Its fins however look more like luminous fairy wings, and its teeth are black and exaggerated.
Acid: This Pokémon lives deep in the ocean. It uses its luminous fins to draw in prey, then sends its jaw forwards to finish it off.
Base: Unlike most Fairy-Types, this Pokémon doesn’t even attempt to play nice. It’s a violent predator that’s near impossible to tame.
Equilibrium: They’re often solitary, only meeting to breed. However, trained Unsealin, whilst aloof, do care for their allies.
New Moves: Unfair Fangs (Only Pokémon to learn it through Level-Up, Lillipup, Bruxish and Carvanha can get it through breeding)
Type: Fairy
Category: Physical
Power: 85
Accuracy: 100
Effect: Ignores the enemy’s defensive stat changes.
Fish Bite
Type: Water
Category: Physical
Power: 65
Accuracy: 100
Effect: Consumes the opponent’s item for double damage.
No way, you’re doing a Goblin Shark too?
They’re just to school e-e
Yeah, they are the best to do concepts on
The Dark/Fairy type be all needed =3
I just got shiny popplio in like 4 eggs, I didn’t even manage to get egg moves set up yet. Damn. I only have 2 fairies left to get as shinies this gen. Shiinotic and Mimikyu
im 600 eggs in….
every time I have ever MM its been under like 30 eggs, the only pokemon I have ever done it with are Whimsicott, Carbink and Popplio
Good luck
Male or Female shiny?
its male
Was it male or female? If female than your luck is through the roof lol
No I wanted a male one
Well then I guess “luck” depends on your desired outcome lol Either way congrats lol
lol, yeah thanks, its going to seriously need some hyper training though, its father had 5IV’s and it has none -_-
It has none? Wow that really sucks.maybe you’ll get lucky and find a golden bottle cap lol
maybe, lets hope for the best

So for those who pre-ordered the Switch. Which version did ya’ll get? I got the Neon version. The colors are just too good for me to pass up lol
I went for the plain gray. The mismatch of color irritates me way too much.
I’ll agree the mismatched colors are a little annoying. The way I see it is if I really want to make it more symmetrical then I’ll buy the extra colored Joycons and that way I can have all blue or all red. lol
Fair enough, though personally I don’t have enough of a reason to do so yet. I might pick up a pro controller depending on how the regular joycons feel, but who knows. Really its kinda pleasant to hear that people are generally saying they feel really good, even in big hands(One person I know mentioning this being around 6’6″).
Yeah I agree. When attached I don’t see the Joycons being all that uncomfortable, but I was worried that detached they’d feel too small. I’m not the biggest guy, but I wouldn’t want to feel like using them is a hassle lol I’ll probably get the Pro controller at some point. I can’t see fighting games and more involved games feeling super good on the Joycons. Some games just feel better with the right controller lol
Yeah it’ll really depend on the game more then anything. Though my statement was meant when using a single joycon as a controller for a game and people saying that despite being small, it actually does feel pretty good.
Grey, I knew realistically that the asymmetry of color would bother me.
Could always buy the extra colored ones to make it symmetrical lol
True but I’m not spending 50
Bucks for symmetry.
Yea a little pricey
I really want to get the red and blue one, its so much better then the boring grey one
i went with Grey
I would not get the Switch. They’re gonna start charging us for online multiplayer on that console. And the online chat does not sound promising…
Um…..You realize that both Sony and Microsoft also charge for online right? Just because Nintendo hasn’t done it before doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. I will say they did a bad job selling it at the event, but it’s not like some weird price gouging that no one else does. Plus I’m sure there’ll be a base level amount of online connectivity. You don’t NEED to pay for their service in order to enjoy the Switch.
I haven’t posted fakemons I never quite some time… I’ll do it soon
What ya thinking of doc
A lot, perhaps …
well..
I’ll give you a hint
Heart Scales ;3
Music to my ears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi7SbRmlcuo
Not a bad remix, but its a bit to much synth? for my liking. Like hearing this I would expect it to be a more fitting theme for some sort of mechanical Tapu.
did someone say synth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otC2CIcodG0
Yeah. The Synth just ruin’s it for me. It’s well composed, but seems to rob the feeling of that sort of tribal/nature/mysterious vibe that the track naturally has.
yea i understand what u mean
Your ears of corn
stop
For those who’ve played through the original Zelda, does the Second Quest always replace the first quest file once you’ve finished? I’ve been trying to 100% it but now I don’t know if it’s worth my time.
You talking about Master Quest? I’m pretty sure there are 3 separate slots for Master Quest since you choose regular or master quest on the main screen.
Hes not talking about OoT he’s talking about the original LoZ
Oh…hm well idk then
Seems like you’re prompted to turn your file into a second quest file after the credits roll, so I’m not going to bother with 100%-ing it.
When you had two Rare Dinners, two Rare Buffets, and two Rare Candies… Lol

So they finally made Pickle-chu cannon. Good on the PC.
Thicc!

Well I guess next on the list is Emerald…
Buttttttt
what to pick….
Torchic or Mudkip either is fine….
I kinda want a grass type but I dunno…..Lotad is only if I pick Torchic
Wait what was the final team in your Red run?
This one was
Blastoise
Nidoking
Hypno
Primeape
Dragonair
Aerodactyl
Aerodactyl is awesome, so it’s cool that you used it.
Anyway as for a starter for Emerald, I’d say Mudkip will be great for the gyms.
Aerodactyl is one of those Pokemon I have a odd unspoken bond with
Like I just always find one in a game
It’s by far one of my favorite Fossils
I like the Mudkip line due to its singular weakness.
But Hoenn is my least liked region
I always having the same stuff
Starter
Aggron
Hariyama
Grass type ludi shifty Cacturn
Grumpig
and 6th thing
:/ I only like gen 3 because it introduced my favorite pokemon despite it being useless until gem 7 lol But I know that feeling I always had the same poke in gen 3
Switch it up then. No starter, and don’t use any of those mons.
Armaldo
Wailord
Exploud
Swalot
Torkoal
Tropius
Gen 6*
Switch it up I suggest
-Starter (k’mon people should always use their starters)
-Ludicolo
-Claydol or Donphan
-Armaldo
-Heracross
-Skarmory
I suggest Mudkip as well
Pick Mudkip as it’s a Ground type and it can splatter away the nasty bae
If you want to something different try picking treecko
I have more fun with Torchic.
Torchic is the best one, so go torchic. You should also use Solrock
One thing I would hope they quit even though they dont have to since the game was already hard, but Idk if you guys noticed, but many Elite 4/Gym Leaders/Trial Captains pokemon only had 2 or 3 moves. I think they do this to make the game easier, which is ok because SM were still hard. I just think it would be more realistic if they didnt just have 4 moves
Wait……. Elite 4 too?
Hala’s Bewear
Well they had 3 moves
Hala: 3 pokemon had two moves. 2 pokemon two moves.
Olivia: 3 pokemon had three moves
TBF it works with some Pokémon by removing other unneeded moves, but even then they could add coverage/recovery options there to make it harder
Hau loses a move in post game when he only has three moves to begin with
omg the Team Rad base is almost done .o.
Awesome!
All that’s left is the Radmin battle and the warp to outside
What pokemon should the first Radmin have?
Radtata and maybe Zubat or Koffing
remorad
also what should I name him?
Radmin bRADley 😉
Raden
JaRAD.
Elrad
Karen from Finance (I’m 100% serious)
oh he’s a dude, Jared from Statefarm then
Naming him Jarad :3
but Bradley 🙁
Maybe i’ll name another admin Bradley!
😀
Something obscure, no typical evil team Pokemon like Zubat or poochyena.
Like Lapras (LapRAD?)
Anything that isn’t expected.
Radwile
The leader has a sneasle already
(Mawile)
ohhhh
oddish.
(or spinarak)
With the nickname RADdish?
Oh not a grunt an Admin then choose
Nidorad
Radicate or Radtata
Radichu
you should totally have one admin have 3 unown that spell out Rad
YES
Earthen, you up for being the Barbarian Dwarf?

Do you have to ask?
No, but it’s the polite thing to do before going on a path of sheer carnage.
Hahahaha!!! Good one!
Same

oh hai Karen
Finally found a good verison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7iPDTC8oOM
Idk I kind of liked hearing the voice acting
yea i did too, but i love the music so much
This game OST is likely going to be fantastic :O
i will admit….the very first time saw the music for the original trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rPxiXXxftE
this one…that last little bit right when they show the Master Sword….i cried……cried right on the spot
Since music has been brought up
https://youtu.be/pBhUwLxlKLU
You’re welcome
What about this masterpiece:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MtYF_9e2azE
OK… for real this time
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfd9krEsr-k
Hmmmm try this on for size
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaaRMdsK878&index=4&list=PL0PI6kk5SBhN6qBtV4Dh2ymrADgnFUDxp
Reminds me of this song
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL65674D59A772CAE2&v=GleWK8NOmUk
Chameleon Twist is just a undiscovered gem, kinda like Glover
Why didn’t Takara publish this and release the game in Japan for the N64?
Not loading for me :/
Ffs just completely abandoned in a game of comp overwatch (so it was 6v1) and they killed me both rounds when I was literally just emoting (and you don’t even need to kill to win)
Sorry it’s so off topic, just needed to rant
is it me but i’m very concerned about the player character in sun and moon showing little to no emotion of anything interacting with the player like totem wishiwashi cutscene
Yeah they need to fix that
yeah it looks like the character is absolutely mental and doesn’t care about anything
Even with the Lurantis totem, like just show some emotion such as acting surprised
Finally! I see why Alolan royalty loved these beauties! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9e5a8f8dcb780750b97154e1e61289ea6fdbbd4e8f3db622c9a3972032b3745b.jpg
Ah, I really like that shiny, congrats!
Thanks!?
we’re getting a tornado warning in waco,texas and probably might be in temple,texas
Stay safe!
it’s okay but i checked and it’s in waco
look at the notifications.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d3331b0097a1c0291aaf934b1589a10b55b1c11fff0b84bc820f032db7c4ef56.png
When I used to live in Tennessee we had our fair share of tornadoes, not as much as other places but terrifying stuff nonetheless. glad I don’t live down south anymore.
Dang why is this place so inactive ;o
i dunno?
I put a sleep spell on everyone
I have to read a book by tomorrow lmao
Started today and I hate that I had to do this…I had so much work earlier that I had to put it off until today 🙁
No idea.
As for me, I’ve been playing shovel knight almost all day. I really sucked when I began the day but I feel like I’m pretty good at this point. I only need to beat propellor knight to get to the final level.
I still havent fully beaten shovel knight i might try to now
I found it hard to get into a while ago, but I just decided to pick it up today and I’m really enjoying it so I say go for it.
i got a nes classic controller so i might play it again now with it!
I’ve just been applying for jobs and working on my sightseeing log in ff14 before the servers go down soon. after the one I’m waiting on now is finished I have one left, and its a bit of a pain since it seems a bit rare.
Cause I wasn’t here
Food coma from taking brother to Dave and Busters
Was getting screamed at by my dad and phone was charging
What happened to you? 🙁
Him saying you need to bring your grades up and stop procrastinating on inviting people to my B-Day party (it was Dec. 29 but you know) or I lose all my electronics and have to join track 🙁
Well forcing you to join something you don’t want to is pretty terrible parenting on his part.
Remember that your grades are part of your life. Parents want the best of their children and want to see them succeed, but fail to remember that some things are just hard for some people. Idk what grades you’re getting, but if it’s C’s and B’s, then you’re good. Always strive to do better, but a C is “average” and average is fine.
My parents were very excessive with their scolding, and basically required me to get all A’s. I know how you feel on that part.
Yeah I’m at the high end of C’s with 76 and 75% in two, but yet don’t look at my A in Animation, History, or English and say my grades are bad
The friends part to my party I am just a procrastinator on it and I will get to it… before the date by tomorrow I will send the messages out I already sent one, but no response back
Its all right though its settled still crumby over it, but I’ll get over it
Quick Question:
If you were given the option to make an alternate Pokemon show focused mainly on the games, what would the setting be (like the region) and what would the main characters be like?
An entire 26 season anime based on the daily life of Guzma.
It should be titled:
“It’s ya Boi”
I would have liked for them to choose a new main character every new region, one of the main game characters, ash is no longer entertaining, although I feel like I would probably be partial to the female leads
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 100%’d !! Woo! (Not including hard mode. Fudge that.)
Tropical freeze is such a great game
I’m curious about Retro’s new project. Personally I’m hoping for either a 3D DK or something completely new.
I’d weep tears of joy if it was a 3D DK platformer.
Honestly every time I came back to play the game I was blown away by the amount of detail in the game. It’s 2D platforming perfection. Retro should be given 2D Mario so that we can get a revamp and move past the over used New style.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure some Nintendo executive said that after Mario maker, 2D Mario as we know it was sorta over.
Yea I think it’ll take some time before we see another 2D Mario, but we’ll still another one day no doubt. But I’m confident that they’ll finally evolve the experience again.
Congrats!
I can’t for the life of me beat the monkey boss, no matter how many hits I think I get, it just won’t die. :/
Yea I remember that boss being a pain. This game is so good. It’s definitely worth your time to go back and beat the campaign. Getting the collectibles was a ton of fun too.
Why is there a big oak tree growing in the ocean in seafolk village? It doesn’t seem like a mangrove or anything
That’s a thing I just am awestruck by, something about underwater trees that put me in a state of zen
Especially swampy marshes
