I love it. Combines the codename of the Wii with Vita, and the Re part could also signify resurrection of Vita. Good stuff.
it's a similar form factor as the gba.
It also docks into something where it doesn't use any processing power or anything like the super gameboy.
It's a merging of the two.
I like Arriva over NS

What are the chances of Retro at least teasing something? Been 3 years since TF went gold.
Thanks.
Honestly I'm surprised I haven't seen more Vita fans hyped for Switch. Maybe that will change if we see some Vita software appear on Switch.
I fully expect a complete reveal.
There are chances, but I'm guessing it will be at E3.
Since it's Nintendo they still don't imagine it can get much on it.
I mostly spent these last years on Wii U and Vita and I'm quite hyped for the Switch.
Hope I'm not wishing for too much though.

Will this mean Nintendo is gonna stop doing strikes against Tumblr artists?
Only half joking.

I'm saying very high chance. They're one of Nintendos top developers. Their game needs to be revealed there.

2018 games for E3, 2017 games for Jan. 12th.
Why?

Nintendo doesn't do that.
The only games we get 6 months + out are zelda, smash brothers, or games that get delayed which is rarerer and rarer these days since they just don't commit to a date unless they are 90% sure
I do expect quite a few Vita developers to entirely ignore the platform but the reality of the Japanese console market means that it would make things difficult for them.
Of course Nintendo does that. The only time when they stated they will only show the games coming in the next 6 months was when they actually didn't have too much to show anyhow because they already decided to drop the Wii U and that was the perfect excuse.
Prior to that they always showed also games releasing at later times.
But the mantra of "6 months" stuck after only 1 use for whatever reason.
I assume the idea is to avoid negative news from American media when they have nothing new to show? Not that I necessarily agree with this.
They only showed Zelda at the last E3, if they're saving stuff for E3 2017, what did they save for Jan 12th?
Well we'll find out won't we?
I don't expect to see Retro's game or Pokemon Stars for example.
Would love to be wrong.

Screw E3. They have to deliver everything they have in store now.
Isn't the idea of "saving something for E3" strictly related with "not having enough games to show"? And Nintendo should have actually plenty of games in working to fill both this week event and E3?
Otherwise the past year and a half of Wii U was sacrificed for what?
Having 1 platform to develop for is supposed to mean a constant stream of Nintendo games. From March 2017 to June 2018 there should be around 12-15 1st party games (including launch), no? There should be plenty to show this week and still a lot left for E3. Especially since probably some games will get just teasers this week.

I would hope Mario isn't the only focus (if it releases after E3) considering we'd be in the midst of a new console and I would expect Nintendo to have many games to show off at E3.
NS isn't that bad,but we Dutchies like to bitch.

I mean, it's not a dock, but I have a device sitting under a TV that lets me put my Vita games in it and play them. Well, technically I gave it to my sister and she does, but still.
No. The idea is also to have something new to show to generate (new) buzz. Of course, see last E3, you can accomplish that even with teased games.
and still wouldn't be enough imho
they need to assure people that they can sustain the console with a solid stream of games for many many months

So is Zimbabwe Rail.
But they should have something new to show at E3 anyhow. Even if the event this week covers the full 2017 and teases a couple of 2018 games there should still be new games left to show at E3, like the ones coming in the first half of 2018 before the next E3.
But you need to by Vita + Vita TV to be able to do both and it's far from being as convenient as what we the Switch seems to do.
I just can't wait to extract the system out of the dock and go play somewhere else.
Or in the Netherlands, where everybody hates the NS (national railway).
It's gonna be just "Switch" for me, at least for a while
Hey, my dad works for the NS
I literally have an NS sweater I got from my dad and will wear it with pride!

wow, that's quite similar to how mine would look.
So if you agree with me, what are we arguing about? I think this is just a misunderstanding.

The reveal is in two days, of course we will. Plus remember nothing has been confirmed for launch so far.
Amazing!

Now that's a quality bingo card,I shall steal it
This console releases months before E3. So fuck that.
They need to sell people on this thing pronto.
Es muy bueno
This one made me want to do a bingo card myself - at the same time i think you said almost everything i wanna say

Why wouldn't we learn more before the release? Isn't that what this topic is about for a Switch Presentation in a day and a half...?
