[Professor Lexicovermis]

The game will also support voice chat using the new Nintendo Switch smart device app (a free, limited version of the app will be available this summer),

Doesn't look like Nintendo Network is going paid to me; I think that was a misunderstanding. What I took away from that was that voice chat and party features will be paid, not online in general.

 

[waitwhat42]

Just woke up.
What's 3rd party support look like?

FIFA and Skyrim

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Just woke up.
What's 3rd party support look like?

they had random japanese developers come on stage and say "someday maybe, we will make a game for this console. Thank you for your time"

 

[tenderbrew]

Walmart seems to be sold out.

 

[Griss]

Much like the Wii U...I can't help but think they'd have been better off dropping the screen idea and just sticking it's guts in a box and launching at a lower price.

When the cheap price rumours were flying I thought it might have done well...but at $299 it's way underpowered to appeal to the home console market...and way too expensive to appeal to the handheld market.

They doubled down on the Wii U and 3DS launch mistakes.

This may turn out to be right...

It's a jack of all trades, master of none situation.

Stupidly weak for a home console.

Stupidly expensive with terrible battery life for a handheld.

 

[superNESjoe]

out of stock

Yeah, it was in my cart.

 

[theonerayman]

Sold out in 8 minutes walmart.com That is pretty crazy.

 

[pswii60]

Um, you were expecting it to be cheaper than a 2nd iteration of a 2 year old console? More fool you, I guess.

No, I'm just highlighting the challenge Nintendo is going to have.

 

[SchrodingerC]

I'm going to say it's stream issues and fall release so still got time

I hope so.

Even Mario's mustache was affected.

 

[Wandering Robot]

This presentation was a mixed bag. Some hype things, some not-so-hype things, and me trying to figure out whether I really want to pre-order the thing anymore. To say that they were into excruciating detail for some parts of the presentation, I think we really need to see more.

Ah, well. The Treehouse Live events will hopefully illuminate.

 

[Takat]

The price for me was the letdown. They are pricing this too high imo, when it seems according to hardware price it much lower.

There are still stuff we don't know, especially the inside storage. Not even their website with pre-order says anything about it which I find weird.

Maybe they'll release more info tomorrow (Or later today).

If it was $250 I would have pre-ordered one.

 

[JustenP88]

Seems there was a fair bit Nintendo just chose not to show in the event, weirdly.

I mean why didn't they show MK8 Deluxe??

https://twitter.com/nintendolife/status/819781179549237249?s=09

That box art makes me moist

 

[Clipse]

Seems like Best Buy pre-orders are live. Have one sitting in my cart now.

 

[Nictel]

"They say The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be played for 3 hours on a charge." Kotaku
As these numbers are often already "sure its 3 hours on lowest brightness settings and nothing running in the background" that's seriously disappointing for a semi-handheld

 

[ar4757]

And why does Mario look like it was made by Sonic Team? Just asking...

Noticed that when I saw the humans walking around

 

[Bakercat]

This console was rushed out...

 

[ScientificPizza]

They should have delayed this thing by a year. There's absolutely no advantage to them launching now. 3DS definitely had another years worth of life to it and this half assed console will do unreversible damage to the console brand after the Wii U.

...what

 

[Josh5890]

From Nintendo's site

Internal memory

32GB of internal memory, a portion of which is reserved for use by the system. Users can easily expand storage space using microSDXC cards.

http://www.nintendo.com/switch/features/

Not sure if mentioned

 

[Pyrrhus]

And Walmart.com is out of stock.

All five of them?

 

[DecoReturns]

I honestly feel bad for that translator that choked.

Agree

No.

3DS sales have been stagnated for several years, with a slight bump with the Pokemon blitz of 2016. Not possible to continually sustain the company through another holiday without a revenue bump.

harvest fuckin moon

 

[Mr Swine]

-Switch instabuy!

 

[linkandzelda]

Overall the conference met my expectations. Some great looking games, very few of them for launch, region-free, and some trademark Nintendo Retarded Decisions like $70 for a pro controller. Overall average could have been much better, could have been much worse. Will buy whenever I can find it sub £250.

 

[waitwhat42]

Sold out in 8 minutes walmart.com That is pretty crazy.

Because they have the same allotment planned for launch as the NES Classic /s

Jesus.DOA.

 

[HawaiianDreads]

That's america?

Yeah that's what I'm wondering, is that for Japan only or WW? All those games release over there but not WW yet.

 

[Aaronrules380]

And walmart just canceled my order D:

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

This isn't Vita reincarnated. Vita had a fucking godly launch lineup.

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

I honestly feel bad for that translator that choked.

To be fair, it was his dream translation job. Right up until that point anyway...

 

[The_Lump]

Amazon UK now saying pre-orders go live at 7am

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I can't wait to play Street Fighter 2 with buttons for a dpad.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Does Best Buy charge CC once your order or not until pickup?

 

[Zedark]

Holy shit, Skyrim doesn't even come out until the Fall.

https://twitter.com/elderscrolls/status/819778545404682240

Goddammit, that is fucked up. Nintendo does not seem to be able to pull in the western devs in any meaningful way. Besides this and FIFA, we saw nothing regarding western AAA games, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume there won't be meaningful support from them.

 

[ohkay]

Preorders up at best buy

 

[friskykillface]

Such a disappointment
I was hyped up , was ready for so much

Where is the GameCube VC stuff


I'm assuming Zelda gets delayed on Wii u now

 

[BlastProcessing]

I'm in. They made wiimotes interesting to me again (enough for me to give them another chance) and that new Mario game is everything that I want.

I can understand why other people would be sour on this, but this actually exceeded my expectations.

 

[Tubie]

They should've ported a bunch of WiiU games for it at launch to maybe attract people like me that never bought one.

I wish them good luck tho, the industry would be better off if Nintendo did well again with a home console.

 

[CrispyBoar]

I'm just lucky that I didn't watch the conference from what I've been hearing. They had the perfect opportunity, & they botched it.

I ought to save enough money to take a plane trip over to Tokyo, go over to their headquarters, & slap the shit out of each & every one of those that were present there.

 

[NimbusD]

Seeing that my thread got closed, I'll put this here:

This is what I got so far, according to Nintendo's Official site:

Launch Games:
Puyopuyo Tetris S
Super Bomberman R
Disgaea 5
Zelda: BOTW
Nobunaga’s Ambition
I Am Setsuna
Dragon QUest Heroes 1-2
Switch 1-2


2017:
Mario Odyssey
Splatoon 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Skyrim
MineCraft
Dragon Quest 10
Dragon Quest 11
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

What am I missing?

Launch seems fine to me.

Edit: Made some adjustments.

I mean, I'll say it needs more western games for sure. I hope they release a xenoblade HD (or as HD as the switch can get), as Im not getting a sequel since I cant play the first one and not a lot of people have.

 

[Regiruler]

Trinen mentions Snipperclips. I would presume that means its at the treehouse thing tomorrow.

 

[Jerm411]

Came into this more hyped than I had been for anything game related in years......and I'm just completely let down and sad now.

Nintendo has me easily, was fully ready to go all in and pre-order and spend a bunch of $$$.....now I'm just like whatever....

[dancrane212]

Group of 5 people dead set on getting the console before the presentation now range from a tepid "maybe for Mario at Christmas" to "Fuck that".

Just looking at what I'd be paying for a Switch, Pro controller and Zelda in Canada I think I'll be passing on the system until something huge like SMT comes around.
