Guys guys guys you've got it all wrong, the top 3 most important things are:
1. POWER
2. More powerful than PS4
3. As powerful as xbox Scorpio

TRUST ME this console will fail if it doesn't meet all these points, who cares about affordability or battery life or even if it's possible in a mobile form factor.
All the average consumer wants is

It's funny because it's true (people holding this opinion, that is).
 
Wave Race is not a replacement for a racing franchise, as much as I like it. And the appeal of niche sports/motorsports like Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Jet-Ski's is extremely shakey and specifically in the case of Wave Race unproven in today's market.

The racing market is sadly in a pretty rough state at the moment, so no matter which avenue you go down you're going to be in a pretty niche state unless you're already part of an established popular brand. The fact that WR is different may be a plus for it due to that.

Dude, this thing needs to be at least twice the power of Scorpio. It also needs a full day of battery life at max settings and every multi-platform game needs to come to the system.

This thing is DOA otherwise. /s

Just hope Skyrim is on the event and curious about games from other developers.

Playing Skyrim on a hotel room or airplane will be great....!!!!

Okay so now I guess we're waiting for Thursday to see that Game Informer cover and story about Zelda. It's like a checkpoint in the middle of the 9 days wait.

I don't keep up with this thread but, are we expecting Mario at launch anymore? What with the rumors of Zelda being there Day One. No chance they release both games at the same time right?

I really want to play that Mario game :(

I just want Metroid to be...Metroid. On one hand Nintendo is no longer alone in the Metroidvania design realm and a lot of other developers have produced incredible work (particularly in the indie scene), but I still love the atmosphere and play of Metroid. Less Other M, more Super/Prime. It's a genre gap in style and play that is missing on their hardware.

I'm still surprised the 3DS never saw a Metroid. Not even a remake of Super or Return of Samus.
It got a Metroid Prime though,you just don't play as Samus.

Actually both games are expected (?) on launch.
 
If I had any influence over Nintendo and wanted them to sell some systems and would make the following games like these:
Metroid 1 HD remake:
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-is-what-a-hd-remake-of-sup...
Bayou Billy:
http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/far-cry-4-building-the-a...
Mario Strikers: (or any mario sports game)
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/see-mario-football-game-drea...
Retro would make a western FPS.
NST make a new Donkey Kong arcade game where we go for high scores and online leaderboards.
Atlus Remake Zelda a Link to the Past with 3d Dot heroes Engine. https://www.destructoid.com/review-3d-dot-game-heroes-171436.phtml
Punchout: http://billysan291.deviantart.com/art/Punch-Out-HD-173933660
Tecmo Bowl: http://kotaku.com/5483985/tecmo-super-bowl-remake-coming-to-x... Add in HD vs, and online leagues.
NHL would be NHL 94 anniversary mode from NHL 14. Online multiplayer, and leagues.
Madden would be like Madden 2005 in HD or Madden arcade.
Cruisin USA HD ----Which we are getting a new Cruisin!!!
Ridge Racer 1 HD remake(cartoony) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FDk-LwFU94

Not really a surprise, but word is going around that pre-order open January 13th. (At least at GameStop.)
Yup!

I've been planning for this for a while. If supply is tight or if demand is high (especially if Nintendo knocks it out of the park on Thursday night), preordering could be dicey.

Those question marks leave me wondering if this is going to be a "get there a few hours early" situation, or if it'll be a "you need to camp-out overnight" situation.
 
It's going to be really frustrating (and honestly expected) if GameStop only allows pre-orders to be made in-store.

Hopefully Amazon and Best Buy are doing pre-orders at the end of next week as well.

Hopefully Amazon pre-orders open that night. I would like a back up in case I can't pre-order at Gamestop

After games what's most important to you guys? OS? Online? VC? Battery?



Good good. We're all going to fight it out lol.

battery.

I'm done with the virtual console after the Wii U. Online and OS isn't that important and I've been happy with what Nintendo has put out so far anyway.

Switch isn't going to be worth an hdmi slot for some time so I'll be using it around the house exclusively for the foreseeable future.

I don't get what you mean by that. It's gonna be the third version of Sun/Moon.

I meant that, I rather a new Pokemon Stadium like the ones from N64, than a Pokemon Sun / Moon with a few more Pokemons, similar to Pokemon Emerald / Platinum. A Stadium like game, appeal more to me .


And they may treat Sun / Moon like X/Y.

Bayou Billy is a Konami game though. And Konami can still be stingy when it comes to certain IPs of theirs.

I'd like to know what the heck Konami has planned for the Switch if they don't make games anymore outside of Metal Gear and PES.
Unless it is one of those two

Probably just VC titles like Wii U.

Also Japan seems to get more of Konami's games, including Contra on MSX. Meanwhile Konami I don't think has released the original Contra for NES or MSX here in the states ever. Not even the recent NES Mini got it. They don't seem to care at all about the NES version of the game.

I always thought Nintendo should buy a few IP's off Konami on the cheap. Bayou Billy, bomberman, contra (if reasonable), turtles in time (if affordable), Vandal Hearts, and Snatcher.

I always assume Castlevania, zone of enders, suikoden, metal gear would be too expensive.

Masuda:

We really want to excite people and surprise them with new things they weren't expecting. The original games, of course, were 2D and in black and white, and seeing them in 3D was a stark contrast... it was kind of a huge surprise for players. Nowadays, the Pokémon are already in 3D, and I'm not sure that better graphics would be quite as impactful or impressive. So in order to come back to the Stadium series, I think we'd need to have some sort of new invention to justify it.

Pretty much this. Just make some awesome looking Alien worlds, full of exploration, great puzzles and boss fights, and interesting powerups.

I am in an unfortunate situation that I can only get a ride to town on the 13th each month so I hope thats right. I have $165 GS credit ready to go, and should have enough cash to pay it ($300+ tax) off completely so it'll be the most intense day.

Will preorder if I can at amazon as backup if it goes up on the 12th but going to gun for GS.

Definitely not battery. It'll be used in the dock 95% of the time. VC doesn't really matter to me. Never has. Online as long as it's free and at least as good as Wii U (but I'd love a friend message system much better than Miiverse). OS matters some but Nintendo hasn't disappointed me yet.

So I guess after games I'm not really that concerned. Least nothing that comes to mind.
