Has to be stronger, the Switch is weaker than a Trapper Keeper.

I think it will for sure have at least english translators. The presentation was presented by all nintendo branches, from japan to america. Reggie also made note of the event on fallon.
That's true.

It's going to be in English as well. Come on.
That being said, most of the relevant info for NA and EU will happen the next day.
The last day at each city is open to the public but you're going to have to get there early

It doesn't matter how overpriced the Switch is, it will outsell the entire Shield lineup, past, present, and future, easily.
Of course, I still don't want them to overprice it!
How much is the Nintendo tax these days? $50? $100?
If the Switch is based on Shield tech (Tegra), people are gonna see it as a threshold for the Switch's price.

A very small subset of forum dwellers, yes.
I'm not saying Switch should be $300 (I've been team $199 for months!), but in reality, Shield's price will have little to no effect on the perceived value of the console.
Should note that there's no new Tegra in that Shield...
I played it. It was fun but the controls were a bit hit and miss. Playing with the Wii Fit Board was overly difficult though.
It's still available, go try it.

yea, it doesn't have a new tegra, but apparently, someone said in the nVidia thread Pascal is used. So, no new Tegra but it uses Pascal GPU. Perhaps, NateDrake was right about Switch using Pascal considering the Shield TV situation.
On price, Switch has a touch screen, the circuitry for the controllers, and a few other things Shield TV doesn't have to worry about.
Well that sucks. I'm not fighting crowds just for a chance to see a Switch lol.
Ya it seems they can't/didn't do anything with the X1 other than shift the GPU, the spec sheet makes this seem like a repackaged Shield but now with a Pascal GPU. Though I am a little unsure if the Pascal part is even legit.
Curiously, this lines up with some of Eurogamer's notes on potential Pascal features in the Switch's GPU, and I wonder if it isn't the exact same thing.

Seems like a poor showing to release this before Switch at that price, but whatever.
Don't think any consumer would go "hmm...The NVIDIA Shielf TV is $50 cheaper than the Switch so it's a better value", tho. Lol

Newsflash, the Switch is going to be more expensive to make than the Shield
You act like anyone will care.

Im so sad. I realized just now I got an Invite to the Switch event...and its all sold out.

There was no mention. If there were a new Tegra, nVidia would be touting it's the greatest thing ever and it powers the new Shield TV.
I'm starting to think the upcoming presentation on jan 12th it's going to be just a boring Japanese press conference like presentation. Very monotone almost like those earning briefing Nintendo has every 3 or 4 months. They will end the presentation with: "Look forward for the Nintendo Direct sometime in february showing the launch lineup for the console, among game trailers and more juicy info. With the subsequent GAF meltdown and tons of "Nintendo is doomed for real this time" threads.
No mention on reveal, and, actually, it seems to not even/may not even have been upgraded in any way aside from changes in connectivity protocols. I think its potentially entirely repackaged old Shield being re-released to coincide with the Spy.
True. What a time to be alive.
Wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
Ah, you mean Xavier ?
Because the Pascal based Tegra was already presented twice last year.
That was easy

You were hyped about the presentation. Que paso?
You took a look at that Switch presentation thread, didn't you? Naw. I'm sure Nintendo will show some great things worth talking about.
The shield doesn't have a touch screen, nfc, or any of the things the switch will have. This would be a worry if both of them were stationary boxes.

Why are people assuming this? They already said that we will look at the price, launch lineup, release date. They promoted the event on every single branch and again, reggie promoted the event on fallon. I really think it will be a fun presentation, it's not because it's in japan that it has to be serious.
Same with me man. I finally win something and I still end up not being able to go lol.

Well, so far, it's only mentioned as part of Drive PX. However, Shield TV was not announced to have a new Tegra.
Nintendo wouldn't be renting out the one of the largest conference spaces in Japan if that was the case.
Software is playable for three days following the presentation to media and the public. Not showing the launch lineup at the presentation would make no sense.

Why?
Well I 100% expect this. No really other way around it
Japanese press events are even worse than ours and we'll see supposedly inexperienced people on stage (Kimishima probably). Doing that is probably a mistake but Iwata is not here anymore.
Maybe they just don't care because of the hour this will air in other parts of the world.
