Support NeoGAF

[Fallout-NL]

Atlus and From Software support along with Unreal Engine? Dis gonna be good

Yeah, From Software on there makes me happy.

Kinda half hoping that stuff like Battlefield One makes it on there. Would be so easy to set up a little lan party with these things. Buuut, that might be expecting a little much.

 

[Regiruler]

That asymmetry is hurting my brain.

Can you use it as a second screen to mimic the wii u?

 

[Palabragrís]

The box was... ugly. But the concept is fine. It's like a refinement of what they tried to do with the Wii U.

Now, if the software is good --specially with the 3rd parties supporting this console--, I may be tempted to get this. However, I trusted Nintendo buying the Wii U and I was left disappointed. I'll be very cautious now with this Switch.

 

[Vargavinter]

I dont think this is a good idea. Unless you just have it at home with minimal swapping between stationary and portable the wear and tear from switching everything? I just find it unsettling. Same as the part where you can use the one side as a Wiimote or when they just clicked both ends together to one controller will at least get my hands in cramp. I'm curious to see more of it, but I dont know if I will buy it unless to use it for VC-games if your account will be transferable with all your purchases from the Wii U. Not a fan to have to re-buy all my VC-games for every new Nintendo consol.

 

[Newtype-001]

Madness.
Give me a price ninty.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Looks good, but nothing in the trailer makes it a day one buy for me.

 

[Icyflamez96]

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

As STOKED as I am for that footage, I sort of agree. I think it's just something with the environment.

 

[madmackem]

I wonder if you can buy just the base unit, I have zero use for the handheld aspect so I'd be paying for something I wouldn't use. I'm in for the 3D Mario alone though

 

[Jachaos]

I'm so in.

 

[spyroflame0487]

So they showed Mario Kart...but that was the Wii U one right? Do you think its a proof of concept that there's (obviously) a Switch version in the making but....couldn't it play the Wii U version?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Actually, looks pretty cool. Will need to see more when they formally talk about specs/pricing/games/online structure/beam support and whatever else nintendo has up their sleeve

 

[Occam]

The tablet itself and the standard controllers doesn't look very ergonomic.
Thankfully there's this:

 

[valkillmore]

I want it, and I want it now!

THAT NEW MARIO LOOKS LIKE WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED!!!!

 

[Leatherface]

I'm all over this one guys. Very excited!

 

[SummitAve]

Love that you can prop the screen up and play with the controllers separately any way you want. Wiimote levels of comfort with a more traditional control scheme.

 

[dracula_x]

slots/ports

 

[ForteanMan]

This is everything I never knew I always wanted. Where the hell do I pre-order?

 

[Whompa02]

Good trailer. Couldn't care less about the product.

 

[Boss Doggie]

How is it gonna be compatible to Wii U though, unless you could transfer purchases, it seems like it only uses a cart slot for games.

 

[gamz]

I'm in. Or my kids will be in once they see this. They are gonna freak over it!

 

[Faustek]

No dpad, good. Nintendos was atrocious.

Anyway, chances of this actually syncing with the Wii U as well? Not in the mood to hunt down a new pad come the inevitable breakdown.

EDIT:

Please!! ask Nintendo if it's Region free. Please.

 

[suikodan]

Finally! Out with the speculation bullshit and in with the Switch.

I'm totally sold. Being a portable player foremost, it fits my profile.

I really hope that the core system will be portable and THEN you add the accessories (docking station, Pro controllers, etc...)

 

[Athreous]

I wonder how well it'll handle wii u like games on the go... prolly at a downgraded rate I think...

I'll wait for more info before pre ordering one, specially because we don't have any ptices yet

 

[Akhe]

Day fucking one!! Duuuuuude!!

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Looks fine as a portable gaming tablet with built in controllers. Literally every other configuration looks pretty gross lol

Hope it's $250 or less though! I wouldn't mind portable Skyrim or Splatoon.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Give it to me now!

 

[Lowmelody]

In so hard.

Nintendo did it the absolute mad company.

 

[Malus]

Mario had a hub, triple jump, and a non-isometric camera which will make a lot of people happy.

I like that the setting looks very interesting/creative. This is more what I envisioned when I imagined Mario in HD.

But in bigger news, KING BOO >

 

[Neonep]

I just want to fast forward to Pokemon Generation VIII

This!

 

[BstnRich]

I'm literally just a nobody, but I'm feeling a $250 vibe.


What would you be willing to pay for this?

 

[BlueLiquid]

I'm definitely in for one day one but hope the price will be reasonable enough for mass appeal.

 

[Arkeband]

So they basically just made a small tablet with peripherals that streams to your tv through its charging dock.

It makes sense but those specs are going to be dogshit if the tablet is the system.

 

[ezekial45]

It looks cool. I'm not sure if i'll ever want to take it on the go, but I really like it.

 

[kuroneko0509]

i'm in

 

[AAMARMO]

Day 1.

 

[SolarPowered]

Design wise, this feels more like a Sony product than Nintendo. I honestly not sure how to feel about it, on hand it's cool that you can play full games on the go, on the other, what support, battery life, and network infrastructure are they going to use?

Yeah, these are the big questions and I'm afraid we'll have to wait until March to find out.

 

[AuthenticM]

The name is fantastic, people. Short and communicates the idea behind the console.

 

[djtiesto]

Pretty much what I expected it to be. Want to see more of Mario and some original games on the platform, I guess it's surprising having western games on a Nintendo console but at least for me that's not terribly exciting.

Anyways, will be pretty convenient for me. Play a game at home, take it to work during lunch and play with the classic controller.

 

[Qwyjibo]

Ehhh.

The portable aspect of it looks interesting. It doesn't seem like it will be as convenient to carry around like the 3DS but I guess that's the trade-off for having more modern tech. If it can maintain the same excellent games library of the 3DS, it should succeed. Anything about battery life? I feel like that might end up being a major issue. The controllers when detached look really cumbersome to use on the go. If I get one of these things, I can't see myself ever playing it that way.

The home console part of it doesn't interest me at all. It really makes the Wii U look like an even bigger miscalculation that it already was considered to be. It's like that was a really expensive beta test for what Nintendo really wanted to do. To me it's trying to be a "jack of all trades" but "master of none".

 

[Blam]

I'm calling it now, the new Mario game is Super Mario Sunshine 2. You can quote me on this.

 

[bomblord1]

That is a sexy handheld

 

[N30RYU]

Definetively some ppl will Switch to other consoles instead of buy a portable WiiU

 

[Ran rp]

Did I post this? GAF is exploding, I don't know what's getting through!

right stick looks like it'll get in the way since it's not offset

 

[Atomski]

FROMSOFT? Oh god, give me portable Souls and I love you long time.

Shit that would be awesome. I remember when the Vita was announced I dreamed of a Souls game on it.. fuck did i get screwed on that though.

 

[silva1991]

Cool concept, but it looks ugly.

If Skyrim made it then Persona 5 and Ni No Kuni 2 have like 99.99% of releasing on the Switch too(somehow it doesn' feel right to call a console "Switch" lol)

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Looks pretty good, I must say. Need to know the price and what else is for the system before committing.

We need to start campaigning for Smash 4 Switch.

 

[sTiTcH AU]

Looks great, will get a few months after release and see how it goes.

For now, Nintendo really need to drop the price of the WiiU, that thing costs more than a PS4 and Xbox one where I am.

 

[zero86r]

Interesting design, silly name. Beats Wii though.

Will be keeping an eye on this for sure.

 

[platina]

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

wow look at the visuals! A nintendo game with amazing lighting??

 

[dreamfall]

Really looks incredibly slick. Gaming on the go just got a hell of a lot more revolutionary!
