and a seemingly great screen as well. for all of the missteps the Switch has made so far I am honestly still baffled that Nintendo nailed the hardware as well as they did.
What i am saying is that the special edition gameboy joy cons for example won't have those tech in. You just buy them to play Gameboy games etc on the console and i would think they would be compatible with most d-pad games.
What made Vita so great. Not sure if it will be as good as OG Vita but higher resolution than it at least and comparing it to 3DS it's like some space age tech. My dream indie machine.
well, we'll have to wait for a nintendo direct or something similar for an OS explanation.

imagine not owning a Wii U and going from a 3DS to a Switch
That is a devkit. Look at the black Joy-Cons. It could be that the menu is also black on (and only on) devkits.
Even from Wii U I mean the GamePad screen is a joke compared to what Switch seems to have.
Honestly the main thing is just the online stuff. Price of everything will come down with time and more games will come over time.
If we get them to reconsider their stupid online plans then I'll be more than happy.
Assuming Switch succeeds 3DS as well.

Can't wait to pay $20+ for several years old indies I bought for $1 in bundles, or got free on PS+/XBL. Switch saved, Preorder reinstated!

Bless the Dark theme
I'm not a full fan of the minimalist UI. Well, just all that empty space on the top and bottom
I got Cave Story in a humble bundle in like 2011.
I'm still excited though as I can never get enough
You can change the user,game changer!
My absolute best case scenario would be multiple users connected at once for local play showing in the top left corner. You know, like the system that's possible for 10 years now for Sony and MS except on Steam and Nintendo consoles.
Would be awesome to have stats for all users and having them carry over through an actual account system to their own systems.
More realistically, it's for changing users on the same console. I don't really get why the 'change user' feature is so prominent on the screen though?
Edit: Especially since there is only one user shown at the top!

I really don't think they're going to change their online plans. I think they're going the smart device route because they want as much of the Switch's RAM dedicated to gaming as possible.
I don't know how this will work on the UI, but Nintendo's website does confirm that you'll have a friends list on the console itself:

Good point, I see it doesnt mention anything about messaging, only voice chat etc, wonder if basic messaging will be included for everyone.
Do we know what the UI symbols stand for?
I'm guessing:
??? | eShop | Screenshots | ??? | Brightness | Power
Dark theme? MEGATON.
First one is "Game News" in Japanese so probably notifications.
Finally, some good news about the Switch!
Dark theme looks great.
I wonder if multiple accounts means the save data will be stored in the console instead of the cartridges. That would be a first.
The Switch has the potential to be a great indie machine.
Nice catch, we need a system direct.
Seems to me like they pressed home while playing 1001 Spikes. It will be nice to see how many friends are playing it, though. Hope that's the case.Whoa, wait a second.
It shows a user icon and says "playing" right on the game tile?
I wonder if it will show friends' icons when they're online playing other games. Maybe it'll say "3 playing" etc.
