i asked this earlier in the thread and nobody answered so i'll ask again.

Do we know if the switch will have a browser for web viewing etc?

No. We know nothing about stuff like that.

I'd be amazed if it didn't.

We have no idea yet. Probably.

we don't know it yet.

Did this on Twitter, but figured since a down time with rumors, if you had to pick one Nintendo published/developed title from each console gen to be revived, which would it be for the NES/SNES/N64/GCN/Wii/WiiU?

(I prefer to think of it as a franchise started during their respective gens, but some folks said like Metroid Prime, which I guess counts)

Damn.. This is going to be really tough but I'll try it out:

NES - Excitebike
SNES - Super Metroid (I just want a 2D Metroid goddamnit)
N64 - Hey You! Pikachu! (Let me shout at a Pokemon goddamnit)
GCN - Mario Sunshine (Gets a ton of hate but I still love it)
Wii - Kirby's Epic Yarn (We need more games like this. No way to die but still offers challenges for experienced gamers)
Wii-U - Mario 3D World (Basically, don't let that series die. I'd love to have multiple styles of 3D Mario games that they cycle between)

 

[BDGAME]

What was in that last dose?

Last night, about the BG&E 2.

Am I addicted?

(we don't know yet but judging by the Wii U and 3DS probably)

 

[Busaiku]

Is there an up to date compiled list of likely rumors/leaks from Ms. Dale and the like?

 

[Okami Haundo]

So... I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate something. Switch is set to be a hybrid console that has:

- USB C charging
- Micro SD card support
- Bluetooth headphone/chat support

Holy shit, what universe am I living in? Are we really getting a console/handheld that uses standardized tech where it really counts?


Also: So much for the people thinking we would get a BoTW GI cover story -

Right????

Im super pumped. Now we just need OS feature confirmations. Clearly they are doing Sharing/Streaming

Im hoping Party Chat is built in

 

[BY2K]

So Zelda isn't this month's cover for Game Informer but they do seem to have a preview for it.

Yeah, I'm so glad Nintendo didn't go their old proprietary route for this. I'd hope this is a sign of younger people having more power over decisions.

I'm sure the Switch will feel great in one's hands.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

why would Nintendo stop providing this feature now?

 

[DrROBschiz]

I would love to hold one but im not about to drive out to Chicago and freeze my ass off in a long line to do it

lol

 

[LordKano]

You'll get updates on Mass Effect Andromeda, Death Stranding, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Last of Us Part II, and more.

Mmmh...

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ugh that cover is so retro... those faces tho

 

[Morfeo]

So Zelda isn't this month's cover for Game Informer but they do seem to have a preview for it.

Where did you get this? How they can have a piece on Zelda and not put it on the cover is beyond me.

 

[casey_contra]

I would love to hold one but im not about to drive out to Chicago and freeze my ass off in a long line to do it

lol

I was a frequent lurker and I'm a relatively new user - is there any way to organize meetups or anything? A SwitchGAF Chicago meetup would be cool. If this topic isn't allowed let me know and I'll edit!

If we're gonna freeze why not freeze together

 

[oti]

I'm sure there will be more opportunities to try Switch before it comes out.

It's GI.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I imagine Nintendo didn't pay for it.

 

[PadWarrior]

So no zelda from GI tomorrow?

 

[Morfeo]

Yeah, I'm so glad Nintendo didn't go their old proprietary route for this. I'd hope this is a sign of younger people having more power over decisions.

I'm sure the Switch will feel great in one's hands.

To be fair, havent Nintendo been kinda decent with this stuff for a while? SD Cards, non-proprietary harddiscs, usb-rechargable controllers and so on.

 

[LordKano]

GI has a Zelda preview, it should be new impressions, but don't expect too much from it.

 

[Morfeo]

It's GI.

I imagine Nintendo didn't pay for it.

Yeah, this is probably it.

 

[AdanVC]

Zelda winning most anticipated game from GAF and from the Game Awards... damn. Things are shaping up great for Nintendo lately.

 

[PadWarrior]

I have digital but it hasn't updated yet what time will it?

 

[web_slinger_62]

Dear My Nintendo member,
To thank you for being a loyal fan, we'd like to offer you a chance to try the Nintendo Switch system before it's released.

Look for an email from Eventbrite for the full details and be sure to register right away to save your spot (tickets are very limited and available on a first come, first served basis).

Thanks again—and have fun!

YES!

Toronto btw

 

[Akhe]

If we don't get this exact photo but with Reggie, I'm not buying a Switch.

It's just a tease.

 

[EloquentM]

I thought it was the cover story though nate

 

[oti]

To be fair, havent Nintendo been kinda decent with this stuff for a while? SD Cards, non-proprietary harddiscs, usb-rechargable controllers and so on.

Yeah, but all of that was overshadowed by the power adapter. For me at least.

 

[PadWarrior]

What time will digital GI update?

 

[Angry Chair]

It's just a tease.

The timeless art of seduction.

 

[web_slinger_62]

Using USB Mini instead of Micro pissed me off with the Pro Controllers

 

[Possumowner]

It's just a tease.

Buy 2 Switch consoles to see his final form

 

[Dark Cloud]

I thought it was the cover story though nate

Drake continuing his lies to us. 😕

 

[oti]

Yeah, this is probably it.

Why "" ?

It already had a cover, maybe it'll get another for launch.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Goddamnit Nate! Why must you lie to us!

Spoiler

I'm kidding of course. You merely said we would get Zelda info in the new GI and we did.

 

[Quintin DM]

For those who live in Canada check your inboxes, just got an email from Nintendo about the Nintendo Switch public demo event.

 

[Herb Alpert]

It's just a tease.

I can see a body that is ready

 

[Kintaco]

Goddamnit Nate! Why must you lie to us!

Spoiler

I'm kidding of course. You merely said we would get Zelda info in the new GI and we did.

Is it out already?

 

[Okami Haundo]

Is it out already?

The cover was revealed and the article mentions that there's Zelda news. I don't think the magazine itself is live for digital subscribers but it should be at some point today.

 

[Lutherian]

Leaked list of games that are going to be shown:

Switchi Robot
Advance Switch
Elite Switch Agents
Switch & Punishment 3
Kid Icarus Upswitching 2
(Don't) Kill Switch
Switch of Rage 4

I fixed some of your list ^^.

 

[FloweryMarston]

Considering the games they are mentioning (all from the PS experience), i bet it's probably a roundup of info from the game awards show and PS experience. It's not the cover story because it's most likely nothing new

 

[Nanashrew]

I'm sure Breath of the Wild will get another cover for its release month.

 

[BY2K]

I'm sure Breath of the Wild will get another cover for its release month.

I'm thinking the Switch itself will get a cover.

 

[Nanashrew]

I'm thinking the Switch itself will get a cover.

Oh yeah, that too.

 

[oti]

I'm sure Breath of the Wild will get another cover for its release month.

I guess so too but at the moment barring any delays we have Mass Effect, Horizon and Switch + Zelda in March. All of them great covers stories.

 

[keakster]

YES!

Toronto btw

For those who live in Canada check your inboxes, just got an email from Nintendo about the Nintendo Switch public demo event.

Just got mine as well ... basically a "watch your inbox obsessively" until Eventbrite sends you the actual invite.

Toronto dates were Jan. 27, 28 & 29 right?
