As in "Heathcliff"
Why did that franchise didn't pop up in my mind when I'm thinking about Nintendo tracks?

Who wants Yoshi X Rabbids?
I'm sorry, but that sounds like it'll be some garbage. Is this what we've waited for? Some Yoshi X Rabbids game? Nobody wants that.
I'm so disappointed right now if that's the crossover game. I can see Gamexplain saying it's weird, but that's nothing to get excited about.

Would you like to see more tracks based on other Nintendo franchises (besides Mario) in Mario Kart Switch?
Very much so, I feel like this is the direction Mario Kart will eventually take and it has a lot to gain from this.
There's some great opportunities with a Splatoon track, a Pikmin track, a Warioware track etc.
Personally I'd also like to see some tracks based on Super Mario 64, I feel a Secret Slide track is desperately missing.

Star Fox stage+Fox being it it would be cool. Gravity and flying based could work pretty well.
Is there anything new on that Rabbids thing? Isn't it old?

News for tomorrow from Eurogamer that is substantial could be very exciting. Although I personally oubt Software so im not THAT invested in it.
Maybe as one of those long tracks with no laps so it could be Crateria--->Brinstar--->Norfair---->Tourian or something
And there are plenty of other awesome tracks like Inkopolisripe for the karting.
I can't think of an area more fun to ride through than Zebes.

You clever bastard.
If that's the weird game...then I don't see any big deal about how surprising the cross over game is.

It sounds to me like he's just making a joke about the fact that people are even talking about Rabbids x Yoshi, not that he's teasing that as a game.
I hope I'm right anyway

Here's hoping for Kirby at the very least!
That wasn't a crossover
I hope you are right as well. I just don't want the "unbelievable" thing to be unbelievable as in "Oh wtf why you do this" but more of...."HOLY SHIT NO FUCKING WAY THIS ISNT POSSIBLE MY EYES ARE GONE!!!!"
Like that.
People in every Switch thread are seriously sleeping on 3D Mario as a launch game.
Like, I get that no Zelda at launch is disappointing especially after waiting so long already, but seriously when was the last time a launch title for ANY system was all of the following:
-a quality game
-had lots of content/decent length
-not a remaster
-1st party exclusive
-a potential successor to Super Mario 64
Even if the game is "only" as good as say, 3D World, it'll be the best launch exclusive of any system in like 2 decades. Bow before your EPD Tokyo overlords.

I agree with this. I was listening to some video recently (I forget which) where someone argued the same thing: A 3D Mario at launch shouldn't be glossed over
That's what I got from it as well. Then again, I wouldn't care much either way, personally. Ubisoft being on board is good for Ninty's struggling third-party support I suppose, but I am not really into their games very much (BG&E2 would be great, though.)

Let's just rebrand to Nintendo Kart or something while we're at it. After getting the non-Mario DLC characters in 8, there's no going back. Make this the Smash Bros of kart racing. All the track possibilities!

Go ahead. Go batshit insane. Have a Dr. Mario track, or freakin' Bad Dudes track. Something that'll make people go WTF?

Yes, absolutely. A Metroid or Pikmin track will be fun.

Calling it now. Squidlings in Mario Kart.
Give me a Zelda track that starts in the Light World and crosses into & out of the Dark World.
On the first lap, as you enter the Dark World, have all of the racers turn into their twisted Dark World counterparts. Link would turn into Bunny Link, etc etc.
Then, in Laps 2 and 3, hide a few Moon Pearls around the Light World portion of the course before the crossover back into the Dark World. If you found a Moon Pearl, you get to use your items (your Dark World version can't!) and your kart goes a tiny bit faster than your Dark World version.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but will we be able to get a second Switch unit for local multiplayer, or will it be like the Wii U where only one main controller could be used at the same time?
Would be so freaking insanely awesome if I could play with my wife some online Splatoon!
So hyped for this machine. Wii U's the only Nintendo console that I've skipped, so I'm ready to jump back in!

Yeah for sure, especially DLC tracks. A great way to market upcoming games, and also we get a good bit of fan service in return. Probably creatively fun to do for Developers too.

So,where are we...still awaiting this Eurogamer news I guess,oooo the intrigue
The trailer shows the Switch playing games connecting to each other over wireless but my guess each Switch will need a copy of the game to play together, you probably wont having something like Mario Kart DS where you can play some of the game with just one cart and multiple DSs.
I'm sure you'll be able to connect multiple controllers to the Switch for local multiplayer.
Well...
http://letsplayvideogames.com/2016/...launch-splatoon-pack-in-no-march-wii-u-zelda/
LAN parties most likely will be a thing for Switch but LAN (and) online at the same time we still don't know. I honestly don't see any reason to not to.
I guess you should be able in 3DS fashion, some games requiring multiple cards and some games working via local sharing.
The fact that if you buy two or more Switch you get the whole thing is a weak point of the proposal in my view. Maybe if there is a portable only Switch in the future...
Rabbids riding Yoshis? That's one sexy game.
sorry
So Gamexplain did oversold it. Too bad.
I wonder now what kind of game could this be? A party game? A 3d platformer? Adventure? I surely hope that not some 2d thing.
Pikmin? You could have a Rabbids vs Pikmin game (with Pikmin gameplay).
Pikmin spend their time trying to find and fix stuff...Rabbids spend their time trying to steal /destroy your stuff. Rabbids would sort of act as 'Gremlins' in the game.
Toads? Nabbit? Anything from Mushroom Kingdom practically. Animal Crossing? Pikmin as Taker666 said.
Super Nabbit World : Raving Rabbid's Island.

With Nvidia being partners with regards to chip manufacturing for the switch, and obviously 'share play' being a defining feature of this generation, do we think it's likely that there'll be some level of software integration from nvidia as well, specifically with regards to shadow play / streaming of gameplay?
Total War: Rabbids vs. Mushroom Kingdom.
I hope we get Samus, Fox, Pikachu and Kirby to represent in Mario Kart, just to have the core Smash Bros gang in there. That with a good Battle mode will make this game so much better than it already is.
I'd love to be able to buy additional Mario Kart DLC over the first year or so, the last one was hugely succesful for Nintendo and for me too. Loved every addition they made to the game.

If course it's not answered, the only official info so far is the trailer we got. Though you should knw that contrary to Wii U, the Switch is the console, not just a controller with a screen. So even if it was sold without the dock and anything extra, it wouldnt make a big diferrence in price.

So a RPG. Hmm, might be interesting.

And Eurogamer tells us that Pokemon Stars is coming too. That's the one the one guy said that is pretty easy to guess, I guess.

I guess Mario/Yoshi x Rabbids is fairly unbelievable if it's an RPG...
Hopefully the From collaboration dream isn't dead though.

RE: Mario Kart Question
The guest tracks are nice surprises, but shouldn't be overdone. Also, I like that some are tied to characters (Zelda & Animal Crossing) while others aren't (Excite Bike & F-Zero) leading to a nice blend of possibilities. I know Egg Cup broke this rule, but I think one per cup would be perfect.
Dream track: Unirally/Uniracer, if only because it would never happen as it's an abandoned series. The anti grav mechanic would capture all the crazy track designs that game had.

Any predictions / rumors on a Switch online infrastructure and/or achievement system? This would be huge for me.

I have a feeling that Nintendo intends to grab the industry by the balls(/insert female correspondent if you prefer) again. They are not messing around if all these game rumours are true.
This needs some kind of Samuel L. Jackson gif or something. Would settle for Bruce Willis too. Or both if possible, like Die Hard 3. Great movie.
This kind of launch year madness, has it happened ever before?
For the MK question, lots and lots of tracks based on different IPs. It would be fun to have one based on Wii Sports golf course or something, with golf carts and all!
