Looks pretty cool to me. Like a much sleeker wii u in it's portable form. The local portable MP controller set up looks hilarious though. Those controller halves are the size of a stick of gum

 

[Head.spawn]

Nintendo finally in board with how to put analogs on a controller the right way, nice.

Concept looks nice. Definitely interested.

 

[primasaurus]

I simply Love it

 

[Tratorn]

Trailer was ok for me. Pretty much what was expected though after all the leaks, so it wasn't really surprising.

Waiting for price now. Hopefully that thing is cheap, otherwise I don't expect that to do amazingly well.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Bye Nintendo lol

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Lovely

I like how it can be used as two SNES controllers.

 

[lightskintwin]

Wow, that looked more impressive than I thought. That legit looks like it has a chance of breaking through to the mainstream and getting back a portion of the casual gamer. Hopefully it's priced accordingly.

 

[DistortionOfReality]

If I can swing it, day one

 

[Pharaoh 117]

I'll get one. For Zelda and Mario.

 

[Gaz_RB]

They should have called it the Super Nintendo Switch.

 

[Smellycat]

I can't wait for more details!!!!

 

[notaskwid]

I dunno, looks expensive and don't get the appeal for multiplayer on the go. It's also too big to carry for most, but at least it doesn't look like a FisherPrice toy.

 

[John Dunbar]

nothing about remote play appeals to me so the gimmick is wasted on me. i just hope it doesn't make its price unreasonable or i'll spend forever waiting for price drops (still don't have a wii u because rofl).

 

[moggio]

The detachable controllers on the handheld part look tiny. It's gonna kill my enjoyment of the multiplayer-on-the-go experience if my hands cramp up when I play. Still, it was better than the Wii U's reveal. Just need to know the price and specs now.

Isn't the point that you can use whatever controller combination you like?


So you can bring a standard controller with you if you prefer.

 

[julesodies]

Cant see it clearly but looks like no analog triggers? Which probably means no F zero !

no square?

edit: see it

 

[platina]

getting close to that simple pixar quality look!

 

[Mass Effect]

And there it is. Looks interesting. Probably what the Wii U should have been in the first place.

 

[Mr. F]

The only part of this I'm skeptical about is the small controller bits being awkward, but I'm hoping I can still trust Nintendo on ergonomics

 

[Xane]

Simple name, sleek design, great comfort & functionality.

Day 1.

 

[markhimself46]

Hate the name, love the console. Great logo. Great 3rd party support. Very excited about this.

 

[Hikami]

Don't like the name, the system looks great though.

 

[13ruce]

Freaking epic good trailer very good this is what i always wanted from a console.

Nintendo is back people!

 

[linko9]

I guess it's too soon to be certain, but it seems like second screen, 3d, and motion controls are basically gone from nintendo products moving forward. Basically, there's no "unique experience" that you can have on nintendo hardware this gen, which is quite a change from the last 10+ years.

 

[foxbeldin]

Not sold yet. Waiting for a decent pricetag and specs.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

On board.

 

[10k]

I'll never need another console again!

 

[Mister Zimbu]

I'm both disappointed and relieved that Nintendo didn't name the console the Nintendo Swiitch.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I need this now!

 

[Courage]

the new Mario being semi open world in the vein of SM64 is what piqued my interest.

 

[valkyre]

only thing bothering me is how sturdy the whole swapping of the different parts will be. I mean I hope its good quality and that nothing loosens up with extensive use.

 

[MGrant]

Yo, that Pro Controller looks SUBSTANTIAL. Also, asymmetrical sticks. You got your regular fucking controller, assholes.

Spoiler

I think it looks pretty good.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Was not expecting the name of "Switch" of all things, but the more I think about it in my head the more I am digging it. I thought it would be called Nintendo Xperience hence (NX).

 

[Fancolors]

I will be down with it as long as it has 5+ hours of battery.

 

[Always-honest]

And just because im on a roll with the negativity, should we be worried there was only 2 3rd party titles shown (if i counted correctly, skyrim / nba).

[Ladekabel]

Love it!

Though I sure as hell hope that the controller in the trailer weren't final.

 

[Sorceror12]

SMD youtube career over with this hybrid?

 

[Air]

Loved the commercial. All about this; however the centerpiece for the 2 controllers is ugly as all hell

 

[pswii60]

Here's a screengrab of the "regular" controller

I wonder if it will be in the box this time, unlike Wii U / Pro Controller.

This is why I will buy one.

 

[GinoFelino]

THIS THING IS GODDAMN GLORIOUS

Seriously.

Wow.

I can't believe it.

 

[Blanquito]

Pretty much exactly what was rumored.

Not going to lie... I'm not interested at the moment. But I'll keep my eye on it.

 

[Gorillaz]

Giving a side eye to the size of the attachable controllers

The switch huh? We all gonna get the switch no matter how old you are

 

[Banjotanooki]

Dia de lous muertos stage!!!!

 

[CartridgeBlower]

Honestly, are people really going to carry this around with them? It's way bigger than a standard video game portable system. It's basically a tablet.

 

[Anoregon]

Looks pretty cool. Glad to see it uses a traditional control scheme. Hopefully it will be powerful enough that we will see at least some third party parity. I'd love to see big AAA titles coming out for 3 systems instead of 2.

 

[optimiss]

It looks like the controller is transparent black plastic! Nintendo has really been listening.

 

[KDash31987]

Looks like I was beaten, but oh, well...I'll post these, anyway.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Just take all my money.

 

[CyberPunked]

Lovely

I like the more mature look.

 

[Mysterious]

Pro Controller
