Nintendo Switch running Breath of The Wild on Jimmy Fallon

Nice find lol, this whole situation is just weird as fuck. As someone who usually can't stand Fallon due to his fakeness and people pleasing attitude, seeing him having a genuine fanboy freakout was pretty cool.
I appreciate his enthusiasm for video games, but yeah, he's annoying as fuck otherwise. The only time I ever watch anything from his show is when an excerpt like this segment is posted online.

Almost forgot zelda won't be out at launch. Summer does seem more likely now.

I feel bad for Wii u owners waiting for Wii u version. /:

Wow they're not going to have Zelda ready at launch? Major bummer. I assumed the game was taking so long so they could get it ready for launch.

It looked like Reggie had to tap through a notification or two when he undocked the Switch before handing it to Fallon. It seems the docking/undocking process isn't as instant as the reveal trailer implied. I wonder if that pop up allows the system to downclock and adjust the game/system settings in the background?

Maybe they didn't want to show the OS UI yet to the public, or is a debug menu (the game is still in development after all and that unit is probably a prototype), or maybe the game automatically pauses just in case some enemy attacks you while you're undocking the Switch, and that prompt is just a "confirm to continue"...
 
This is the first footage of any game actually running on the hardware and it was all off screen of a cross gen port. Take a second and think about that before you start worrying about the specs of the machine.

He is not "worrying", obviously he is trolling... or he really didn't take a second to think before writing :D By the way, we are in the post-fact age, people "feel" more then they knowing and don't bother to use the brain for thinking. I like that!
 

I thought the BillTongue.gif was funny because it was editing fractions of a second to make it look creepy, but it's even worse when you see the whole thing. What the fuck was he doing?

And megalol at the Fallon gif. Guess he really is hyped. The dude he's talking to doesn't really seem to give a shit though.

He's probably just having fun / being himself, and not assuming that that moment of his behavior would be immortalized on the internet. Cut him some slack
 
What's with all the Fallon hate? He clearly loves Nintendo, and they love him. Ya'll are just hatin'
I think he may be the worst late night host of all time, and that's better then what I think of the movies he has done. It's sad because I think The Roots on late night is an amazing idea. Then there's the issue of his comic "delivery", I just find it grating.

With saying all that the thing I really respect is that he is actually a fan of not just games but the medium itself.

I dont get it either, for sure he overdelivers most of his stuff, but in my eyes thats actually really funny. He is SO over the top at times...

For sure he isnt the best host of the tonight show (that was Conan) but he isnt bad...

It's maybe a cultural thing. Outside of the US, I haven't seen people be that over the top to show their enthusiasm. As a German, it always felt kinda fake to me.
 
BoTW was touted at the best game at e3 and voted most anticipated at the game awards despite only the 720p <30fps Wii U version being playable.
A version that looks better and runs smoother that is also portable is great.
Also BoTW looks pretty good at times. Maybe not that area, but grassy fields and forests look pretty nice.
Really liked this Wii U footage from awhile back https://youtu.be/vEj57Jd6d3A

That video looks better when viewed from Nintendo's Japan site, I think:
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/zelda/movie/live.mp4

And here's the another:
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/zelda/movie/run.mp4

Some neat human posted these on NeoGAF, sadly I don't remember who that was...

Youtube videos have some weird stuttering, it is smoother when viewed from another site. Or I'm just drunk or something. Wouldn't surprise me.

EDIT.
And I think that most of the Fallon haters let politics affect them, that Trump video hit a nerve. It is a shame, that was clearly him just doing his job. In this video guy is legit enthusiastic. But people just can't think straight when they get emotionally attached.

Studio 6B (seen on the badge) is where they film the Tonight Show. Presumably that gif is from after they taped the segment but before it aired, he just kept the visitor badge as a memento.

I get that...but why is he WEARING it?

Like ya'll said dude is faking his enthusiasm but this man literally took Miyamoto's badge and is now proudly wearing it in public like a $10,000 his lover gave him whilst also espousing the gospel of the Switch.

I would say at that point he's more of a fan than half of NintendoGAF.

Hey don't lump me in with the Jimmy haters!

What's the third imaginary thing he removes there with his hands?

Pulling out the kickstand in the back.

I have a really hard time telling if Fallon is just being fake or truly is into Mario/Switch.

Regardless though, the console looks great and the frame rate appeared to be solid for Zelda.
