It obviously for Pokken.

Pokken will come to switch by the holidays most likely in my opinion
Pikalucha hype

Record button 😎 Good to see it confirmed from those pics


MGS V complete experience port would be pretty cool actually , I'd pay $60 for it
Hear that Konami , you got a $60 investment so far

 

[xochipiltontli]

That's not how it works. Clones being removed won't make room or space for more characters. It'll just mean there are less characters to play as

So Pichu being taken out when Brawl came around led to there being less characters to play as?

 

[Serenitynow]

Not sure if this was mentioned but the Reddit mod team verified that Best Buy $249.99 SKU from this morning:

Take with whatever size grain of salt you prefer.

 

[7roject28]

But what exactly is this thing for?

It's so you can play while on a stand since you can't do it while it's docked in the dock. But the console already has a kick stand. Adjustable stand?

 

[Dark Cloud]

So about the Share button. Would that be for recording and sharing videos online or other social media?

And do you think Nintendo could make money from people using it to post videos online?

So Nintendo is charging a $50 Nintendo tax.

I would think it comes down to how much time a clone takes up compared to a new character. Maybe it is something like "we can develop three new clones or one new character."

What does this even mean

So Soon!

What?

There is certainly no evidence to suggest it led to more playable characters.

Besides, Pichu was never taken out, he evolved, lol.

huh?

 

[valkillmore]

$50 R & D recoup at launch is reasonable, don't you think? I swear some people think the ideas for these devices come to engineers in their sleep, feature complete. What a world you guys must live in!

wut?

Looks more like a $250 Nintendo tax! #amirite #highfive

Everyone gets a custom switch!

Decalgirl is gonna have a fun time.

 

[ThanksVision]

the n3DS xl is selling v well right now and it's at $200... you'd be insane to think their new flagship console would come at the same price

なに?!

 

[Glass Rebel]

Laura leaked that since months. It seems to be completely confirmed at this point. Laura said it will allow for screenshots and video recording.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

the n3DS xl is selling v well right now and it's at $200... you'd be insane to think their new flagship console would come at the same price

why can't they drop the price of the n3ds

it's normal to milk a platform on its last legs at whatever price point you can. Just like how the wii u hasn't really dropped much. No point.

Not saying it'll be 199, Nintendo just won't do that, but stiill. Pricing of other hardware doesn't matter. The iphone 6S was priced the same up until the iphone 7 came out.

 

[purseowner]

I think this will be the first share button I actually use.

 

[xochipiltontli]

Why not bring it back then? Hopefully Lucina can evolve too lol.

 

[valkillmore]

You don't use the PS4 share button? And, uh, what other consoles have a 'share button.?'

Well it sounds like the 3DS is going to be supported throughout the year at least. If they are still selling I wouldn't drop the price.

 

[purseowner]

I thought Xbox had a similar feature.

For some reason, I've never felt the urge to interrupt my game to share stuff.

 

[oti]

Every console but the Wii U has sharing functionality and the PS4 is by far the best when it comes to this.

 

[Scrawnton]

wut?

He's calling it overpriced and Nintendo cheap and greedy.

 

[forknknife]

Was watching some Zelda videos and it's really cool all the stuff you can do with the physics of the world. It made me think that it'd be a really huge shame if Nintendo does not implement achievements in their system.

 

[RootCause]

I need a varia suit themed switch. 😊

Ps4 and Xbone are 249 in europe not sure about the us so i can see their concerns. They have to get it to 199,99 before holidays before sony or microsoft do that because if that happens then it's time for some doom.

It better packs in a game at that price.

$250 is not a doomed price for this product. I'm not sure why you're being so negative about it.

at this point it will suck if the price is any higher without a good SKU bundle

Eh, you can have it. Trophies/achievements never really meant much to me.

We all know Nintendo wants money, while Microsoft and Sony are running a charity.

But why 50 】$ tax? Why that number?

 

[Astral Dog]

FUCK YOU NINTENDO DAMN YOU TO HELL

 

[13ruce]

Well i kinda don't want to see a repeat of the Wii U situation.

 

[Aldric]

Yes, adjustable stand and it also mentions you can charge the battery while playing.

 

[valkillmore]

He said share 'button.' Xbox One doesn't have one. Yeah the Wii U has sharing functionality but no button on the controller. PS4 brought console game media sharing to the forefront.

 

[Scrawnton]

He thinks it should be $199.99

Good, good. Now breathe. In and out. In and out.

How did that make you feel?

 

[Busaiku]

So Soon!

2 days too long.

 

[JustenP88]

I think because one of the Nvidia Shield doo-hickies is $199.99 and people like to pretend that this is nothing more than a "Shield tablet with Nintendo branding."

There will not be a Switch price drop before the holidays. $250 and they will not be able to keep the thing in stock.

 

[Oersted]

Well i kinda don't want to see a repeat of the Wii U situation.

Cheaper, all first parties on board, clearer messaging...

Yeah, no. Not a repeat.

 

[xochipiltontli]

$249.99 is a great price for it, but I don't think people should be expecting anything more than 32 GB. I can't think of a piece of tech outside of certain Chinese smartphones that have 64 GB of flash storage in that price range.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I need it.

 

[oti]

He said share 'button.' Xbox One doesn't have one. Yeah the Wii U has sharing functionality but no button on the controller. PS4 brought console game media sharing to the forefront.

That's not the same. Sure, the Xbox doesn't have a dedicated button but just like the PS4 you can share anything. On Wii U you can't.

 

[KojiKnight]

*sigh* Of COURSE I work that night... Oh well... guess I'll get to ruin the presentation by randomly checking GAF on my phone.

 

[MoonFrog]

Cheaper, all first parties on board, clearer messaging...

Yeah, no. Not a repeat.

Also a full blown hybrid versus off-TV play with limited range.

 

[lordfroakie]

If I may ask, why Diamond/Pearl & not Stars?

Just a hunch
