My interpretation was massive cringe.
Ah right ! I read too fast. I agree with you.

The Switch is the reincarnation of the Vita, now as a first platform.
Hope we can quote this in a year or two saying: "Damn right he was!"

Not sure how reliable they are and its probably just speculation based on the reveal video, but given it was a huge chunk of the reveal video, I wouldn't bet against it.
Now with first party support

So the Switch is using absurdly priced proprietary storage, and likely to lose major first party support within 2 years of release?
Good to know.

it works both way, i thought it was clever.
I hope everybody who still thinks that Nintendo should hold off on the games releasing after June as E3 surprises had a good look at this thread today to see the reactions that kind of strategy would bring. And that's not limited to GAF. Some media outlets will also jump on that bandwagon if that would happen. And at least one Forbes contributor. Plus the "mobile is the future" analysts and investors.

Even Sony is behind the Switch!

I said reincarnation. The spirit of the Vita has taken a new, better shape in the realm of Nintendo.
It's either that or another 4 years of "unprecedented partnership" memes and apparently constant doom for Nintendo.
To be honest I want it to succeed just so people can stop being so damn cynical about the entire company. It gets tiring after a while.
Hahaha, they will never stop trolling Nintendo no matter what. Even the Wii at it's apex got shit for being underpowered. It'll probably happen with the Switch even if it's successful.
That will be always around. And isn't really relevant.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
I'd like to comment on the 'The ”Do not believe that Dev Kit image" Tweet' segment.
Devkits seldom look like final hw. And this kit looks extremely like the final hw. So much that all slots and openings on the actual unit as seen in the promo actually match. Not only that, but the Joy-con sides match as well, down to the little side carving at the top of the joy-con connection surfaces - the connection surfaces themselves are covered with some sort of cover, standing in for the joy-cons. So whoever has produced that image has undoubtedly seen the original Switch. I have zero doubt in that.
The question is, if that is not the devkit, what is it then? And there's a very simple answer to that: it's a debug/QA unit. Here's how the corresponding wiiU unit looked: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=731308

Refresh me, been gone for 3-4 hours.
Same. Very tiring at this point. Also, Nintendo desserves some kind of success into console market again. Nintendo Switch seems to be a spot on product wich so far has sing all the right notes. Hope the event in the upcoming days can secure this even more.
It starts somewhere around here, from my speculation list with the somewhat know games:

keep the miis but please get rid of the easy listening music. Put some retro pseud 80s chiptune and dark menus!!!

I'm not saying that they should, being transparent about the Switch's Year 1 line-up next week could prove beneficial in the long-run as far as hype-building goes. The main concern would be if companies like The Pokémon Company would want to share the spotlight & potential cut down Sun/Moon's legs to hype up Pokémon Stars sooner. As I've mentioned before, there's pros & cons to both scenarios, and I could see it playing out either way.

Yep yep! I really want to see the Switch take off and so far it seems like Nintendo is hitting all the right notes. Software and marketing will make or break them here, and they seem to have a strong effort on both fronts thus far.

Which could be taken a few ways. That statement unto itself doesn't suggest you were referring to it in a positive way, especially since I wasn't previously aware of your sentiments concerning the Vita.
Many Vita developers have already chosen to ignore. That initial partner list was missing some important Vita devs like Acquire, Kadokawa, Idea Factory/Compile Heart, Falcom, Gust, 5pb... Most of those guys tried to create something for 3DS but wasn't happy with results, I can understand if they choose not to make games for Switch at all. They're happy with PS4 and Vita.

Even better, let us set bgm for all the menus. Choose from all the eShop music, all old system menu music (GC, Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS), your audio files from other devices, and more.
Vita's time is limited and most of those developers never touched 3DS.

just rewatched the footage and i agree, everything they show is new. they redid the spawn animation and have new looking spawn points, showed a new map instead of an old one like they did with MK.
if this is not a sequel i would be surprised. i don't think we would be even thinking about this being a port if we didn't have leakers claiming that it is one.
gameXplain agrees:

Just give me fast sharing on Twitter. I don't really care about Miiverse unless that's crazy fast and convenient. But even then, I don't care about my friends on PS4, Xbox or Steam either.
Miiverse has been one of the most popular features from Wii U so I assume that's pretty much a given.
He's been avoiding to answer that since yesterday lol
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'd be surprised if Miiverse doesn't come back.

Miiverse now on a fully focused system!!! That would be glorious!!!!
Apparently PushDustIn of Source Gaming also heard that Miiverse was gone. That said, NWPlayer123 is saying that it could be replaced with something similar.

Hope not. If they're rebooting it and simply leaving Mii-branding in the past that's fine, but I'll be disappointed if there isn't some spiritual successor. Miiverse was one of the coolest things on the WiiU/3ds.
