We should definitely have Magnetic Billiards Switch. Maybe all the balls could have pictures of Mario, Yoshi, Samus etc on them?

Ooh go on then.

Meh why can't they just focus on a good console instead of the handheld stuff .I got bored of the wii u screen after a week and this will be exactly the same 

You better release f zero GX 2 to make up for this new console

[Yewone]

Personally I love the fact Nintendo are sticking to doing things differently.. leave Sony/MS to the 1080p/HDR/4k console war, why would we even need a 3rd console like that competing for the same market. 

 

Obviously the jury is still out on the actual spec for the thing.. but in terms of functionality I'm sold.

Yes, there was a distinct lack of motion control, and of touchscreen, in that vid. Maybe revealed later?

Yep, Waggle is definitely in again, they're just not making a big deal of it right now. Take the joycons off and they effectively work like the Wiimote and Nunchuck.

[Keyboard Koala]

What's with the new Nintendo logo though  Where has the trademark ellipse gone to?

[Girth Certificate]

the new wiimotes are called earmotes, it's official

Come on @deKay a more positive thread title needed.

The reveal is good I'm happy with it, just need to know more info on price etc.

 

It says IFGO. What more do you need?

[partious]

 

 Can't wait to buy another console in 2017 that plays games that look just as good as the ones on the console I bought from the same company in 2012.  Including many of the exact same games !

 

Whether this thing seems good or shit probably depends on how much you care about handheld gaming.

Joycons sounds like a raunchy Transformers sub-species

An explanation of what IFGO means would be nice. I'm assuming "I fucking give up", but it could be the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics I suppose.

Because you have to buy a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games. You have no choice but buy into their crazy hardware if you want to play the next Mario. Like I said in my last post, I've got no interest in handheld gaming, so I won't be buying this unless they do a home-only version, which cuts out all the expensive, superfluous crap I won't need.

 

I seem to be only replying to you in this thread!

International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics seems unlikely but is topping my Google search.

I care a lot about handheld gaming, which is why it seems shit.

Serkan Toto is suggesting $400, so £350 sounds about right. A little worrying, really.

 

£350 and this thing is dead in the water.

[JohnC]

I wonder how much the car headrest adapter thing will cost. If the console takes off, could be a demand for families with kids.

[Professor_k]

Local multiplayer Mario Kart and Smash Bros everywhere you go.

 

That is all

[Flub]

I`m going to miss 3D

[Girth Certificate]

the whole guts of this should be in the controller bits which attach to the tablets everyone already owns. That'd sell.

[Girth Certificate]

Was that Mario Kart 8 in the video or a new one? I'm not rebuying any wii u games.

if it's the Tegra X2 then it's PS4 level of GPU power - 6GB of Ram is a concern, unless the OS is very lightweight, which it could be as no game installs etc, as it's running off carts.

 

Where does it say it is 6GB RAM? They've not released specs.

[gooner4life]

I'm assuming those leaked specs from yesterday are legit.

[Kiwi Cake]

I think the Switch looks great!

 

Well on board for it.

[Nespresso]

It NEEDS to have Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Twitch and every other streaming service known to man to have it be worthwhile outside of yer house.
