Nintendo Switch UI video from some guy [named hiphoptherobot]

How will you access it anyway? Considering no web browser.
The technical leak that happened recently confirmed that there is a web applet to show embedded web pages. I guess the eShop must use it because it wouldn't make sense to create a native app for something that can change layout frequently (Like the Google Play Store on Android).
 
Wish it showed all he user icons. I NEED to know if there's a Boo one.

The UI overall looks nice though. Really glad there's a dark theme.

I'm thinking I'd go with either a Wind Waker Zelda character, if they're in there, that Yoshi, or Dry Bone if he's in there.
 
It's weird how with every single console launch people are shocked to realize that 32GB as advertised - 32,000,000,000 bytes - is not the same thing as 32GB as represented in the actual OS (32 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 == 34,359,738,368 bytes)

It's been like this for almost every device ever released on every platform, for decades.


The Switch, much like every other device on earth with an advertised 32GB capacity, has exactly 29.80GB storage space (32,000,000,000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024)

If there are 25.9GB free, then it means 3.9GB are reserved for the operating system, built-in software, and reserved for future OS updates which may increase the storage footprint of the device.

That's...completely not unreasonable at all.


Formatting the drive will also reduce the total size.
This happens with ANY file system.
 
They ask for achievements. These are achievements

You must be joking. Every system even the vita has trophies built in the system. It's standard and should be implemented in a future patch to link with the website at least. I personally don't care too much about it but it adds more replay value to a game.
 
The US looks pretty straightforward and easier to navigate than what we have on 3DS or Xbox One.

At the same time, it's very obvious why we didn't get more information on the US from Nintendo. There's simply not much to show. Key features as the online app aren't ready yet.
 
Fantastic looking UI. Also, ecstatic at the exclusion of achievements. They have directly contributed to the rise of fascism in America and I'm proud of Nintendo for taking this stand.
 
So no achievement?

Glad I didn't preorder the system. Horizon it is then.

Achievements vs a game? really?

The salt is real guys.

Cool. You enjoy your PS4 telling you well done you beat level 1 have a cookie, and I'll enjoy playing the first new console Zelda in 6 years on a piece of shiny new hardware.

Gaming in 2017.

Oh I am still getting the console just not Day One. I will wait a year or so before getting it.

I own all the Nintendo consoles but as a Trophy whore the games always get bumped down the backlog list. I still have a Wii U so I might get Zelda for that in a few months

So far, they haven't really been implemented in quite the same way as standard achievements. Yeah, you've got your standard mission to clear each world, but instead of the more obscure achievements challenging you to do things like "Complete the game in 3 hours" you've instead had repeatable missions like, "Play 3 rounds of Toad Rally today."

Not a bad thing, but I think MyNintendo missions have been implemented a little differently than most achievements.
 
Keep the footage coming!

Nice to see some actual hands on with the device, and I'm ready for a ton of leaks. Thanks hiphoptherobot!

Oh well in that case, hopefully this year's achievement filled games give you the fix you need. Switch should be looking fine in a year's time!
 
I wonder how many additional features will be available once people link their Nintendo accounts? Perhaps achievements / missions / activity logs will be available then.
 
It is pretty dn lame Nintendo still hasn't gotten achievements. Every other platform has them, from consoles, to Steam, to Battle.net

Won't prevent me from getting a Switch bit it's certainly disappointing

The thing is that mynintendo DOES have an "achievement" system that they are using. Missions. You complete missions to collect coins, which can be used to get discounts, themes, games, etc.

What people are really upset about is the lack of something to measure d*** size with "friends". I guess we still don't have that, so the pissing contests might not be coming quite yet. damn.

In all seriousness though, it is a tad bit disappointing, since people have definitely been asking for that feature from Nintendo for years.

I honestly don't know a better way for Nintendo to do it than what they have, though. The "gamerscore" thing is a bit toxic but having some trophies where you can compare with people on your friends list would be cool.

When people ask for an achievement system, they usually want a system-wide system with achievements for all games, which My Nintendo is not.
