Nintendo Switch

[Indy @ S.E.]

My body is ready.

[Chooch]

The Mario 'hint' in the promo is going to be Super Mario Run, isnt it?

 

[Dig Dug]

Time to pull this out again.

 

[Nespresso]

@deKay for all your excitement you sure aren't very interested in adding some hype to the thread title. Booo!

Size of the thing.

 

An iPad is no replacement for the DS line.

 

At least the 3DS price might finally come down.

 

It's unlikely it'll be that big.

Nintendo devkits always look really different to the final thing anyway, so it could be real.

 

Used to have a Wii devkit on my desk where I used to work and it was like a black box from a plane.

 

Found a pic:

 

 

needs a JAMMA connector, or MVS slot.

Excellent quote chopping there. Entirely missing the point of what I'd written.

Sorry, had to go for another wee.

[MidWalian]

Fair enough. Show me a bit of Mario, Zelda, the machine itself and reveal the name Nintendo womble.

[englishbob]

I can leak some details

 

It will need a special Nintendo memory card to save progress

It will require several different peripherals to play most games. Pikmin Go! will require a special loudhailer controller, Paper Mario:NX will require a lightpen

Super Mario NX 

Smash Brothers NX

Metroid NX (coming in 4 years time, outsourced to some Canadian developer) 

Zelda NX:Wehavefuckedourlastdecentcharacter

No online play

Maybe some amiibo shit

 

I don't think I have missed anything out

I think you'll find the correct Nintendo-approved term (as used by Nintendo Magazine System at the launch of Donkey Kong Country) is MONKEY FUNSTERS.

[the_debaser]

this is gonna be amazing

[Super Craig]

What if it's an arcade cabinet with castors on it? Would that count as a portable?

[siread]

Could that Nintendo tweet be suggesting an AR focus? Mario running around your living room?

Yeah - from my understanding the X2 needs cooling - potentially possible for a console device - not so much a handheld.

 

If it is X2 then fair play, it should be pretty decent but i can't see it happening unless its massively underclocked.

Is the X2 even a thing though? Nvidia went K1 because of a Kepler GPU and X1 because of a maXwell GPU. Given they are now using Pascal GPUs then surely the next Tegra would be a P1? 

[NEG]

This is like Christmas

[freezycold]

There's a cooling vent on that devkit pic. And 3 holes along the side for that IR controller thing...

Why you buying another wee? When the NX will be out soon?

Do you need a wee too?

[DarhkFox]

Mario will be shown and it's a mix of Galaxy and 3d World i hear. It also plays somewhat differently to how you would expect.

Nah. New Super Mario Bros X

[gospvg]

All I want is another 3D Mario game in the vein of 64 or Sunshine & I'll be in day 1.

[RubberJohnny]

I wouldn't expect them to showcase software - it's only three minutes, put expectations in check.

Isn't there a fan game already called that? (maybe like super mario maker).

 

Not that it really matters..

[Tailfly]

Preview Trailer doesn't sound like a lot of info being put forward. Probably quick cuts of corners of the box/controller stuff with a "it's a-mee Mario" in there, hopefully with at least a few clips of gameplay.
