I don't think you can compare these too. To me the Nvidia Shield TV/Tablet was more of a product to promote the Nvidia chips, not the hardware itself. It's not supposed to make bank and it's not Nvidia's main product anyway. For Nintendo, Switch is their business. They want and need to make enough money with every unit sold.

It means (according to my French speaking wife) that basically you HAVE to bring someone if you are a minor, but you CAN bring someone if you are an adult. To do so, you have to provide their details/contact details using the form they provide, or else they won't be allowed in.

I feel like 299 will be a huge pill to swallow considering the price of the other consoles right now. Nintendo doesn't want to approach that price.
She has been retweeting literally every official tweet. Most likely the XCX port but I also wouldn't be surprised to see a tease of their next project. It's been 2 years since development finished on XCX.

Remain on the 3ds oppose to the switch? It's definitely interesting to think about. Thinking about third party games that are comfortable with two screens too, that don't need a lot of graphical oomph like yokai watch. Do they compromise for switch or continue on with 3ds and its userbase and make something else for switch? Hard to think how things will pan out.
I sort of agree and on the other hand... nintendo has being new first and foremost, and if it can really offer an experience simply not found anywhere else, something you could pull out and people are impressed by, it can easily be worth it. Value is always based on perception after all.
Hell people were crazy and paying hundreds for NES classic on ebay. all about perceived value.
My personal opinion though still is it will be 199.99 basic unit, and 249.990 Premium unit, only difference being more internal storage and possibly pro controller. I think Splatoon will be pack in game for both versions.

Oh I'm not saying that they're directly comparable in terms of relevance to their business. Just that if the Shield TV has similiar tech and still makes a profit at that price on hardware sales, Nintendo should be able to do the same with Switch around $249. I don't expect them to take a loss on hardware at all.

Alright !
My favourite version of this meme is this one, from right after the Zelda E3 2016 reveal :
Well we're already seeing some of the decisions on recent games like Pokemon and the lack of PSS in Sun and Moon. Everything was moved to the Festival Plaza, with the exception of O-Powers and Super Training.

I don't get why people are expecting this to be $200. The 3DS was $250 at launch. The base Wii U was $300. While the 3DS price was a mistake, the Switch offers so much more.
Did anybody stop to think maybe one reason Nintendo wants us to think of it as a home console first is so we expect a home console price?
Yup, as much as I like that game, no 2nd screen no buy

yep.
But the port supposedly won't be done by Monolith Soft.
She never retweeted any Xenoblade New 3ds Nintendo Direct, only XenobladeX related.
The only exception might be for Shulk in Smash Bros but I didn't check this one.
Considering how many retweet she did for this Switch Event, eithe se changed her way to tweet and just want to help the Switch hype or there's no doubt, "Xenoblade 3" is coming.

Mother, 4 screenshots
edit : ho sh*t my lame joke is on top of the page, sorry!
(mmmmh, let's say something relevant not to appear stupid)
Ho My, almost 7 days, I can't stand the hype!
Trying not to get hyped, but this isn't helping....
At your service !
Oh and she retweeted the trehouse.
...no...
Ok I don't believe this, but it's fun to imagine.
Oh I'd gladly die from this.If nothing happens...

Following PS4's success route
Yup
At least between all the ports we'll have a new 3d Zelda and Mario to play.
While we're at it we should probably disregard Pikmin 4 and the new IP from Nintendo.

I would not have a problem if they port every Wii U game. Tokyo Mirage would be my top candidate.
Pour une fois que j'ai de la chance sur ce genre de trucs.
Ah d'accord, je comprends mieux, merci. Je me suis inscrit, et effectivement, ça a l'air d'être bon pour mon pote.
Oh, I know, I'm French, sorry if I did not make that clear. But thank you anyway, and thank your wife. In the end, it was as she said: I was able to invite my friend along. Expect an impressions report from me some time during the weekend next week.
Pikmin 4 is the 3DS game and nothing more unfortunately. That's a certainty judging by the game director of Pikmin having worked on Super Mario Maker up to September 2015. I'm sure Nintendo will premiere other games, just not this circle jerk Pikmin 4 idea that's being extrapolated from a translated interview years ago.
Port-able.
Mine would be DeusEx
Wanna bet on it ?
Pretty much. The question is how many ports will there be in the launch lineup?
All those pent up games that devs wanted to release for the Wii U, but decided to hold off until their next system are going to finally be making the move to the NS. Just saw that Constructor is coming to the NS later this year, too.

14? nah ... not that much
But a new console with most ports in the launch window is nothing new, Nintendo will be not the first doing this. You know.
I wonder if Sniper 3 will jump to Switch too
We don't know when they'll be out though. Look how long Pikmin 3 took!
One million dollars. Give me one reason why you think it exists considering the game director has been working on other projects.
Easy : a game director can work on multiple projects, especially when he works on project he's not leading. He was likely just some assistance on Super Mario Maker.
Plus rumors specifically talked about Pikmin 4 for Switch. And Miyamoto's quote made sense in that aspect.
