Love the concept!

 

[Ricker]

I dont fully understand whats happening in the second picture,the one with the hand pulling on the controller on the right...where is this screen in the middle from looking at the first screen...?

 

[Harmondale]

We had a good run vita, time for you to get a new owner

Wow I had 3 wishes for NX

*Premium look - check
*Skyrim on the go - check
*Good screen quality - hmm

If the screen is good I Will definstely turn sides. Just have a vita 64gb now packed with games and planned on picking up ps4 pro but going all in on nx seems tempting

NES-Gameboy-N64-PS2-PS3-PSP-PSV-NX?

 

[That Damn Kid]

They gotta make one of these in NES colors.

Here you go!!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I like it, but I still think the control scheme compromised it a bit..

 

[Snookie]

Looks cool, but i wont be in a hurry to get one. I've been burned by promises of the past. I'm still salty of the wii u launch.

 

[Glass Shark]

Guys, the button on the controller side on the left of the image. That symbol...doesn't it look like the Rec symbol? Sharing button confirmed?

I kept wondering what that button was supposed to be, but I think you're right.

 

[Shock32]

wow this looks amazing, I think i'm ready for my next Nintendo console in 10 years.

 

[DrMungo]

Looks like backwards compatible with 3ds, but not wii u?

 

[tearsintherain]

To me the most interesting thing about the trailer was how it was 100% marketed at people in the 20-30 age group. No kids in the trailer.

I don't see how its 3DS backwards compatible - no touch screen, cart slot looks different, wildly different CPU.

[Meffer]

My feelings exactly.

I hate glossy material since it attracts fingerprints and dust in the known universe. I'm glad they decided not to.

 

[Olli128]

Looks great, I'll get one and one of those separate controllers so I don't have to keep taking the tablet bits off. Not had a Nintendo home console since the snes or handheld since Ds which was used solely to play soul silver.

 

[120v]

My only issue is the tablet with controllers looks pretry damn unweildy. I'd hate to play that on a plane or whatever

And the switch name/branding looks like fan mockup stuff but I guess I'll get used to it

 

[Pie and Beans]

I find it interesting that Sony goes with PSVR for more insular gaming experiences, while Nintendo goes for "Lets play together" arguably more than they ever did.

PlayRoom VR.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I'm so disappointed. I'm 38 years old and I have no desire for a handheld console.

Sony and MS and getting to 4K and VR and Nintendo is stuck on barely better than Wii U graphics at 720p because they think people will still buy a handheld on 2017.

I don't get it.

Did you miss the bit where their handheld from the last cycle was factors more successful than their console?

 

[jon bones]

WOW

day fuckin 1

 

[Ninja Scooter]

How do we know that's the power level of this thing?

It's a tablet that's probably going to sell for $200-300. Tablets in that price range aren't exactly powerhouses.

Do we know for sure yet if the Skyrim they showed was Skyrim Remaster or a port of vanilla last gen Skyrim?

 

[xaosslug]

https://twitter.com/jeffgerstmann/status/789113752369102848 = yes!

that would be stupid and defeat the purpose of Nintendo's whole 'revolutionizing gaming' shtick.

 

[Resident_UA]

This would be so much better if it just came with the controller (it really doesn't look like it will)...

 

[optimiss]

 

[aygomyownroad]

That advert was bloody amazing. Sorry but it was clear and concise to what it does.

Amazing looking console. I am not expecting PS4pro levels of power, but this could be a return to form from Nintendo.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Don't care what anyone says...I'm going to call it the Wii Switch.

NO! Objection! You CANNOT!

Spoiler

...ok?

 

[Zee-Row]

I need to preorder this now. When can I preorder it?

 

[Luckydog]

This is my biggest issue with the system right now minus all the unknowns. This doesn't look comfortable or practical to use at all. One player is going to have to use a controller with unlabelled buttons, too.

Not just that, but when you turn the right Joy-con on its side to play as a small controller, the buttons are MIS labled. The A/B button are in the wrong place when you turn it on its side.

 

[RoadHazard]

Yeah, it's a portable Wii U. Basically what I knew was coming, but didn't want. I game at home, rarely on the go, so I'd have preferred a much more powerful home console for the same price. It seems too large to be really portable anyway. Definitely won't be putting that thing in your pocket.

Still, it's sort of cool. Just not what I wanted.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Maybe Adrian Peterson can bust out this switch for his kids. Much better than the alternative.

 

[karasu]

Whelp! This will be my first Nintendo since the SNES.

 

[Tarin02543]

as a dutch speaking individual the new name is really hard for me

the Nintendo Switss

 

[nicoga3000]

Day 1 preorder. Wow.

 

[Morts]

Need touchscreen confirmation.

Also surprised no word about when we'll hear more. Makes me think it won't be this year. I'm really impressed with what they showed though.

 

[Kindekuma]

It's a minus. The other side has a plus.

I think we're talking about the bottom left button. I don't think it's a button, more or less an NFC reader.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Hold the phone...

From Soft is a partner!

PORTABLE DARK SOULS!!!

If DS3 is announced for this it becomes a must buy for me.

 

[wideface]

I know I've said to myself before that I wouldn't buy a console at launch ever again but...

Day one.

 

[bananafactory]

I don't play portable but for people that do how are you going to possibly carry this around? It looks way too big to fit in a pocket

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Only 1 shoulder button?

actually wondering about that as well. The Pro controller probably has 2, but I can see only 1 on the detachable controllers.

 

[thiscoldblack]

The NS will seriously need:
- Great battery life (at least 7 hours)
- To be region free

 

[finalflame]

I think we're talking about the bottom left button. I don't think it's a button, more or less an NFC reader.

Oh, I'm a moron. Carry on.

 

[Karspankey]

Guys, the button on the controller side on the left of the image. That symbol...doesn't it look like the Rec symbol? Sharing button confirmed?

With NVIDIA confirmed and the architecture of their newest cards, I wouldn't be surprised if it uses Shadowplay to record gameplay. That'd be sick since Shadowplay videos can loook really good.

 

[Roxas]

The more I look at it the more I don't think making it so you can use each side of the controller as it's own controller was worth it.

Look at how small that is and how close the buttons and stick have to be. We will see how that feature is utilized, but I think I would have preferred just having a solid dpad on the controller that comes with the system. The "pro" controller looks okay enough but wouldn't have even needed it.

How the fuck are you supposed to play Skyrim on the go with that thing lol

 

[Monochromaticx]

I wonder if you can plugin 3ds game cards in it. that will be a huge selling point for me.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Only 1 shoulder button?

actually wondering about that as well. The Pro controller probably has 2, but I can see only 1 on the detachable controllers.

There are two:

 

[Zombie James]

Not using Denver CPUs

https://twitter.com/FioraAeterna/status/789116349649854465

So it's based on something weaker than the Tegra K1?

 

[dankir]

So what happens to the 3DS and DS in general now?

 

[maquiladora]

people complaining about the bulky controller didnt you not see the normal controller near the end of the video???

Sure and it looks fine. Just a shame that it's an accessory I'll have to buy rather than being standard.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

I'm kind of worried about the d-pad.. why did they change it? It was perfect on 3DS.

There are two:

It looks so good.

[I Stalk Alone]

Well it's a tablet

I hope the battery life is ok on this.

make a new thread

 

[metalslimer]

There's no way this thing doesn't have a touchscreen.

I hope I can get at least 4-5 hours out of this.

 

[Palabragrís]

Thinking more about this, it was a pretty smart move from Nintendo. They unified they portable and living room market into one single product, and that's just a very bold move. I like it.

Now, I'm mainly a PC gamer who still owns a PS4 because of the Japanese games (and mainly because of the Final Fantasy series). If Nintendo and Square Enix announce some sort of deal where games like FFXV, FFVIIRemake or the FFXII Remaster release at the same time than on Sony's console, I'm just selling my PS4.

Such a good move it is from the N.
