Support NeoGAF

Me to my clock right now:

Me to my clock right now:

Yeah, just like Christmas day my body woke me up at 4am today the fucker as if I've not been waiting long enough.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Larian would be smart to have a port of Baldur's Gate 3 ready with cross save support.

Doesn't really strike me as a switch game, how does it play on the deck?

 

[amigastar]

So, today's the day. Been waiting for it since the announcement. Biggest Nintendo event in 8 years.

There is a precedent already set.

 

[clarky]

There is a precedent already set.

I never knew that was on the Switch. Great game.

 

[Jesb]

What are we expecting?

 

[Nelly_Nel_7.1.3]

NINTENDO SWITCH 2 REVEAL!!!!!!​

 

[Seomel]

What a lovely day, im also getting off work and hour before event do will be nice to cozy up at home for live show

 

[DenchDeckard]

Can't wait for this! Gonna get my pre order in immediately.

 

[Robb]

Darn it, thankfully nothing important though. I'll sneak-watch this on the side.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

So Nate the hate doesn't think we see 3d Mario.

We could see persona, castlevania, megaman, resident evil 0 Remake, Oblivion, final fantasy ix, and Nintendogs?! Interesting!

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Yeah, need to find some phone booth and do some…ehm, work…at 3pm CEST.

No 3D Mario would be a bit of a downer.

I could believe the rest though. I definitely expect a ton of 3rd party announcements here.

 

[Baemono]

I hope a presentation by Mr Koizumi, Mr Takahashi can't properly snap his fingers and it triggers me each time

 

[SNPlayen]

It is going to be 11pm here, getting wife to organise the snacks. I'm thinking ribs, a birthday cake and a bottle of scotch?

 

[RoadHazard]

I hate that this is at 15:00 here. Just two hours later would have been so much better. Oh well, I'll have to do some PiP at work I guess.

 

[DenchDeckard]

So fucking hyped for this.

 

[Maddoxswe]

I hate that this is at 15:00 here. Just two hours later would have been so much better. Oh well, I'll have to do some PiP at work I guess.

15:00 in sweden right ?

 

[AddiF]

Just over 6 hours to go. Can't believe it's almost here. How long have we had rumors about Switch Pro and then Switch 2? 4 or 5 years?

 

[Trunx81]

I hate that this is at 15:00 here. Just two hours later would have been so much better. Oh well, I'll have to do some PiP at work I guess.

Same. But reading reactions here on NeoGaf will be glorious. From "THAT WAS THE GOAT" to "Meh, I expected more" to "NintenDOOMED", we will have everything <3

 

[Andyliini]

This comes out at a great time for me, 16.00. My work ends at 14.45, so I have time to take a short hike before the main event. Hopefully there are enough new games to make the system worthy purchase out of the gate. Both from Nintendo and third parties. Castlevania would be overkill for me, I love that series.

 

[AddiF]

What if the C button is just "Cursor" - to enter mouse mode?

 

[Robb]

Sounds about right. I remember skipping out on the OLED because I was sure there'd be a Pro coming out, and the OLED released in 2021.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Did we post this already: https://wccftech.com/nintendo-switch-2-dock-chipset-4k-support/

Seems there might be a chance? DLSS can't be for upscaling to 1080p only can it?

 

[keefged4]

Running any Nintendo game in an Emulator shows that a simply resolution bump is enough to give their games a nice visual upgrade. Especially when you compare them to the regular Switch output.

Any Xenoblade looks amazing at higher resolutions.

Yes I know it's not perfect, draw distance for grass is low, geometry is low poly... but if you compare them to how they look on native hardware a simple res bump is similar to a generational upgrade.

Nintendo released 4k screenshots for XB3 themselves (you could get them via rewards)

when you bump up the resolution in XB3 it can look like a PS4 game in some areas.

Believe me, I know. I've played all 3 Xeno games in 4k.

 

[Jesb]

I hope there's some big surprise. Would be amazing if Capcom shows a new side RE just for switch 2.

They can still arbitrarily disable it, I think the updated Switch 1 dock has a 4k output chip from Realtek as well, although it does 1080p (so your TV needs to scale).

 

[AddiF]

Quarter of a day remains...

 

[L*][*N*K]

I am not going to lie, I am very nervous about this.

 

[MrCunningham]

Better set those Alarmo's. T-minus 6 hours and counting.



...I might end up being asleep in another hour or two... it's past midnight for me.I'll probably just catch the aftermath later tomorrow... I mean, today...

 

[AddiF]

I am not going to lie, I am very nervous about this.

Same. I am very excited but also very nervous.

 

[Gamerfan81]

Less than 6 hours now. Really excited. Hopefully it will wow many of us!

 

[jufonuk]

My predictions This will either be seen as the second coming of video game Jesus or a big pile of shit. There is no In between as far as the internet is concerned with Nintendo.
Even if it is good or middling compared to any other company it will be seen as shite.

Also to be fair they have been secretive with this as much as they can so for me

I am waiting.

 

[Neff]

What are we expecting?

Shoshinkai '95 when they first showed the N64 and SM64. But ten times better.

 

[Robb]

I am not going to lie, I am very nervous about this.

Same. I am very excited but also very nervous.

Nothing to be nervous about. At worst we'll get a ton of information on the next generation of Nintendo hardware, which by itself is a good time.

Just let the hype consume you!

 

[Oberstein]

who the fuck does this shit at 9am? , Ill be sleeping !

Yep, they should do the Direct on a Saturday or Sunday.
I'm tired of hearing my son say "Dad, I'm hungry" and then having him say "Sorry, there was a Nintendo Direct and my boss didn't want to hear about it".

 

[Emedan]

I'm jacked to the tits!!

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Time for Nintendo to step in and save the industry.
Again.
I love Nintendo, I hate Nintendo.
All hail Nintendo!

 

[L*][*N*K]

 

[clappedcheeks]

I'm really looking forward to this as there's nothing like a new console reveal. There's also no denying that Nintendo always deliver on the games front. I love their gameplay first mantra but they also delivered some great looking games on the creaky old switch.

 

[CastorSoze]

Just hope they keep things moving.
Nothing grinds a normal Direct to a halt than focusing on a game I've no interest in. Like how the last Direct had the Pokémon segment.
Or going into detail of systems being used by a JRPG. Just give an overview and have more detailed videos available on their YouTube channel.

I don't mind Smash reveals like listing Everyone is Here, because think even non fans are interested in those.

Aka a regular Nintendo announcement.

 

[mariosbrother]

Dang, I remembered, and then I forgot. I should have wrapped up hours ago so I actually got sleep before this. *sigh*

 

[Esppiral]

Please be good, please be good

 

[Putonahappyface]

Please, please, please be a nice visual leap. I really want a Nintendo console again (it's staying docked).

 

[Paasei]

All I want is an oled-screen.

 

[MoneySings]

Just make sure we all grab one of the launch ones as needless to say, someone will jailbreak it on the new hardware
