No ethernet again, the pathetic areholes that they are.
The only piece of electronics in my living room without a wired connection will be the Switch.
FFS Nintendo.

On the bright side, the 5ghz WiFi supposedly available for the Switch looks to be way more solid at least.

Still would prefer ethernet but I want to give this a shot.

 

[LordKano]

Please remember that Harada said the release date of Tekken 7 was going to be announced in an event in January.

Take that as you will.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Do people even have car lighters anymore?

They have the car lighter ports, but no actual lighter and no ashtrays. They are simply legacy power ports now.

The only piece of electronics in my living room without a wired connection will be the Switch.

Only if you are too cheap to buy the adapter. I think it's likely that the adapters that worked with the Wii and Wii U will probably work for Switch.

Yeah this is disappointing. I believe Wii and Wii U did the same.

It's annoying but I totally understand why they omit the Ethernet jack. The VAST majority of users will only ever use WiFi with their consoles. I'm a little surprised MS and Sony haven't tried omitting it yet.

 

[Harpoon]

Yeah, that fight stick is definitely eyebrow-raising. Tekken 7 seems likeliest, but I'd love if it was also an indication at MvCI showing up.

 

[Plum]

How do you guys feel about those +/- shaped buttons? looks odd, but I guess they will eventually grow in me, no biggie

They're Nintendo's equivalent of Start and Select they've been using since the Wii. Though I think this is the first time they're shaped like their symbols instead of just being printed onto a default round button.

 

[Jawmuncher]

With a arcade stick, we must be getting a announcement in that genre. Since as said, that wouldn't really work well with Pokken or Smash.

 

[Reversed]

Where's the 25 min gamexplain video about this?

 

[Nairume]

So why is it the only game advertised? It's clearly the front lead AAA title for Nintendo.

Also worth mentioning that the people saying it was being delayed have been backing off on it.

 

[Vuze]

Dear god, not a fucking LAN adapter again...

Do we already know if the stand has atleast a bunch of USB A ports to plug this shit into?

 

[Da-Kid]

This is exactly what I want it for. Forget mobile games

Yep, I'm hyped now.

 

[KennyLinder]

Game case has two slots for SD cards too

 

[RecRoulette]

I wonder what fighting game they are going to reveal that goes with the stick.

 

[oti]

Dear god, not a fucking LAN adapter again...

Better than nothing. Of course the handheld itself can't have an Ethernet port and you can get dirt cheap adapters in Amazon.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Looking at 13th pix I know its a zipper case but what the heck is that (SET Zelda botw item)? Anybody clarify that for me plz.

Thanks.

 

[Akiller]

Kid Icarus Switch confirmed! /s

 

[mugurumakensei]

if they pull a march US may EU i'm gonna flip

I'm hoping they do. USA! USA!

 

[timshundo]

looks like usb-c to me fam!

 

[Kebiinu]

That fight stick is what got my attention, I'm really holding out for MvC4. That game on the go? Everything.

 

[Eolz]

MvC Infinite starting to seem more and more likely.

Probably Pokken or Injustice 2.

Come on now.
UMvC3 is coming out on non-PS4 platforms in March, Tekken 7 is being released around that time, the Wii had a stick to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom...
It's not for Pokken. MvCI is likely if UMvC3 sells.

How are you getting that from these? I'm sure the dock that comes with Switch will have Ethernet. There's no way Nintendo would release a console in 2017 without one.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Can the switch do injustice 2 graphics?

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Protector over the screen kills multi touch theories.

Why? My iphone also has a screen-protector.

 

[TunaLover]

Yeah look kinda toyish heh, I don't know...

 

[Galava]

I'm hoping they do. USA! USA!

 

[killroy87]

Injustice 2 is in May. And with Street Fighter V being locked to PS4 as far as consoles go, the only options for fighting games at launch are...

• Tekken 7 (Maybe)
• Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
• Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-
• BlazBlue: Central Fiction
• Mortal Kombat XL

The accessory could launch before the game does. Wouldn't be unheard of. I say Injustice is a good call.

 

[broncobuster]

I'd be for the pad if they went wireless.

 

[Neoxon]

Oh, right... it uses cartridges

lol

What's the problem with cartridges?

 

[Astral Dog]

Is that just a stand or an actual working dock? Because that and the controller look 100x better than the crap Nintendo is putting out themselves.

Not really

 

[Etzer]

It just hit me now, after seeing these accessories, that we're just two months away from a new console launch. Hype is building.

Zelda and Tekken 7 (assuming that's what the arcade stick is for) at launch would be great.

Vita's cards are micro SD card size

Vita's memory cards are micro SD card sized. The actual game cartridges are bigger.

 

[Not]

Kid Icarus Switch confirmed! /s

Lol. Sakurai went right back to work on Super Smash Bros for Wii U for Nintendo Switch.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Can the switch do injustice 2 graphics?

No, but it could get a downport like injustice 1.

Let's hope they don't randomly drop support for it this time lol

 

[Femto.]

A fight stick?!

CAPCOM VS NINTENDO?!?!?!?!!!!11

 

[Ridley327]

Can the switch do injustice 2 graphics?

I mean, it probably wouldn't be that pretty, but they somehow managed to squeeze the first game onto the Vita, despite that system's deadly allergies to UE3.

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Can the switch do injustice 2 graphics?

It can do everything!

 

[mugurumakensei]

Protector over the screen kills multi touch theories.

uh. iPhone has plenty of screen protectors and it's multi-touch.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I don't know why, but the peripherals made me suddenly kind of want one of these even more. that's weird. I was going to buy it anyway,

 

[Dark Cloud]

How are you getting that from these? I'm sure the dock that comes with Switch will have Ethernet. There's no way Nintendo would release a console in 2017 without one.

An Ethernet port goes against the point of the Switch in the first place.

 

[antonz]

Looking at 13th pix I know its a zipper case but what the heck is that (SET Zelda botw item)? Anybody clarify that for me plz.

Thanks.

Seems to be a Carrying Case for the switch, Screen/(joycon)? protectors, screen wipe cloth and a gamecard holder.

 

[JustenP88]

Between Switch, Scorpio and all the big titles likely to come out this year, 2017 might be an enormous year for gaming.

Get your games right Xbox, ffs.

 

[opricnik]

Can the switch do injustice 2 graphics?

Nope,dont think so but they could downgrade it i think? If it cant run injustice2 it wont run tekken7 either since one is ue3.5 other is pure ue4 game

 

[Neoxon]

The accessory could launch before the game does. Wouldn't be unheard of. I say Injustice is a good call.

True, & that would also put Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite in the running for use of said stick. I'm just talking about potential Day 1 fighting games.

 

[Shiggy]

An Ethernet port goes against the point of the Switch in the first place.

In the dock it would have made sense though.

 

[RecRoulette]

If it happens to be Tekken 7, I wonder if that's the reason why it's taking so long for the release date to be announced. Simultaneous release on all systems would spoil the Switch release date.

 

[CrayToes]

What's the "turbo" button for?

 

[bananafactory]

An Ethernet port goes against the point of the Switch in the first place.

It's being advertised by Nintendo as a home console first, even though it's technically a portable.

How does an Ethernet port go against a home console?

 

[Vuze]

An Ethernet port goes against the point of the Switch in the first place.

Yeah because I take the dock of my >home< console with me right

 

[Diablohead]

The joycons s in one of the Zelda sets look much lighter than the others, gold finish maybe?

if you look closely its a coating/case for the joycons

 

[forknknife]

That Pro controller looks significantly nicer than Nintendo's own based off of the glimpses of that thing we've seen.

I'm thinking the same and the dpad reminds me of that from the mega drive 6 button pad which i think is one of the best ever!

[OmegaSmash]

I mean, it wouldn't be the first time we see a stick for a handheld.
