Enzo seems upset about the Nintendo NX.
Not so much upset as in keeping my expectations in check.
Also, I don't know how much this is still the case but at least with Nintendo (more than other devs/big three) you have a greater chance of real surprises that you wouldn't expect from leaks, so there's always hope. Just withered a bit over the last decade.
FOH
Ha, I just now saw that Jiyuna made that one, I watched it before I knew him. Should just be a little shorter, but it's fantastic.

Pools for FV cup have been released. It looks like their are only 72 players total.
http://challonge.com/FVCup2016
The one player that's not mentioned in that list but is probably the most important player is Tse4444. He's the HK Chun player and he's in this tournament. He's also the most vulnerable to losing his spot in Capcom Cup.
He only has 128 regional points with 2 ranking events left this weekend. If he doesn't earn any points then anybody with 0 points could tie him by winning either of the two. Anybody with at least one 1 point would pass him by winning either of the two. I'm loving how this is going down to the wire this weekend in the Asian side. I'm guessing other top players like Poongko or Itabashi who still aren't qualified are opting for the online tourney instead. Good luck with that, I'm sure it will be full of killers.

considering Nintendo's recent history with fighting game development, I think it would be hilarious to have Nintendo vs. Capcom, only to find out it was developed by Namco.
edit: Namco Bandai, Capcom, Koei Tecmo, and Sega all confirmed parters for Nintendo Switch. Let's get some FGs on there!
It's neat, my interest in it depends on how good its library will be outside of Nintendo games.

Technically possible to play 6 button fighters since each of the joycons has both L/ZL on it
Yeah... just like the Wii U...
Nintendo Switch looks nice but it needs that 3rd party support. Also interesting to note that the latter portion of the trailer had quite a bit of EEEEEEEE Sports stuff in it, maybe Nintendo is serious about going in on E sports with the Switch?

I mean the Splatoon Koushien is in its second year of championships in Japan so they are already big into esports

Not to mention the yearly pokemon tournaments they've been holding.

- Take your console with you anywhere...work, car, buggy at walmart. Not a handheld but the full console.
- Solid state memory cutting down load time pains and size issues for storing/carrying around games.
- The potential for virtua console+Nintendo Switch to create an environment where older fighting games can just pop up and get impromptu tournies anywhere without the needs of a setup at a tournament. Plus if we're talking fighters WB, Capcom and ASW are listed already.
- From a developer standpoint its an HD system that does NOT require dual development for parity across two iterative sets of specs like the PS4 and X1 have become. Say what you will about specs but this is a real concern for developers to split develop just to insure a stable release for ONE console that has two hardware variants in its market and it can get expensive.
- Portable Skyrim
This thing will sell and has a lot of potential. Especially to family folks and gamers who grew up looking for an escape at work during breaks. Its far more powerful than any handhelds and is the first fully portable console. I seriously doubt that Nintendo won't use this device in tandem with mobile stuff too since its essentially a tablet as well.
I look forward to seeing what titles are announced for it. This has a lot of potential.

I wonder if it will be a generational leap or more like MH3 HD

I'm wondering if some games will work in tandem with mobile apps or touch screen GUI stuff.
Might we FINALLY see a damned MOBA on a nintendo Tablet like I hoped? The damned Wii U interface was perfect for PC GUI games to finally hit console but the install base and online killed the interest. Really hoping to see it happen this time around.

Thought it was weird that Skyrim, a 2011 game was a featured 3rd party. I know it was the remaster but I still had a good chuckle.
Maybe an MH Gen port to start off. Get that G-rank in.
Switch is pretty interesting from a tournament perspective, like shown in the sizzle reel.
Of course this is based on so many contingencies that may or may not be supported by the platform, but bringing your setup with you, docking it, and having all of your character/control preferences automatically synced to a LAN game would be dope. Most likely you won't be able to dock multiple consoles into one system, and a LAN network of the sort would add significant latency, but it's a cool thought. I remember them talking about potentially doing something like that for SFxTK preferences, which I can't recall if that materialized or not.

They even made an accessory to strap the Switch to the car head support. It means you can play fighting games while going to fighting games tournaments. We just need arcade stick adaptors.

Probably the only reason why I would want that platform.

the mixup
That's only available on there via hackery right? PSP2 never went up on the digital store and/or wasn't a Vita compatible title IIRC. If it was I would go buy a Vita for it.

It was digital when it first released but for some reason got taken down a couple years ago. I moved it onto my Vita during that one day where Sony accidentally pushed the button to let all games move onto the Vita.

fuckin' called it, man
Guise I ex air spded a fang super it was cool cool cool
I feel pretty burned by the Wii U, But I'll end up getting the Switch for monster hunter.
I'm ready to play monster hunter on my TV again.
If we're luck they'll have to use new models instead of recycling the psp/wii assets for every game!
They'll re-use the same assets... I'll enjoy the hell out of it and put a couple hundred hours into the game
If the virtual console isn't fucked the system will be good for imprompt setups for playing classic fighting games.

Yeah, especially if Arcade VC and Neo Geo VC come through.
