Nintendo Switch (Nintendo's next console)

That_Guy

The more I see those coloured joycons, the more I kinda want them. They'd stick out a bit with my current console set up but I'm likely going to be using the pro controller anyway.

Thought they looked crap in pictures but seeing them in videos and people using them has changed my perception of them.

Can't really justify the price for buying them though.

===

As for meet ups, I'd be well up for that.

Dublin-centric I know but the Starbucks on Westmoreland St. allow people to book a few tables for board game nights. Could do the same with a Switch event.

Or ya know.... bail into a boozer for ales and games. :pac:

The press are receiving their switch units!

I was just thinking about that today. Pressunits arriving must have been around this weekend. Bring on the Zelda Reviews.
If say the Embargos is launch date. Thats 2 weeks with The new Zelda, which isn't long with such a lengthy beast...

UI looks good to me.

I hated the colors at first but after seeeing and playing the Red/blue Joycons in person. Id change my Grey Preorder to Neon in a heartbeat... They just pop.

Although im sure joycons will become the new Amibo and ill end up with dozens of them... Especially when cool collectable ones come out... The price if them thou...

Id love Nintendo to ship Nes/SNES/Gamecube versions of Joycons that come with ESHOP discounts or unlimited discounts for said platform...

You can never have too much Ryu.... ever.

Yeah Kev, I'm gonna ring GS tomorrow and ask if they can transfer my pre-order to the coloured joycon version. No biggy if they can't but I can't take my eyes off them.

I can do that. Like the beers bit as well.

That black background looks slick. Really nice layout. Big and clear sections without hogging too much of the screen.

Perfect.

That was awesome seeing menus finally nice and clean... wish my retailer sent it out 2 weeks early 😀



Gonintendo threw this up
Someone on NeoGAF claiming to just be "lucky", has received a Switch. We don't believe it's a press person, as the person posting doesn't have any games to try out. He also says he got it early from a retailer. Keep an eye on the madness here.

Don't suppose any mentions in if there is a HDMI or LAN cable in the box?

They come with Hdmi cables. LAN is separate I think

Burst out laughing at this from that Neogaf thread.

This is a product, not a narrative. Why should you care that a *menu* is being spoiled?

That setting menu plot twist though

Cool as that is, its not much good with no games or even being able to download the update. Might as well sell it for a thousand dollars and enjoy the sweet internet credit.

He's probably thinking the same thing. Cool vid to share all the same. Don't blame him for not connecting to the internet in case Ninty decide to brick his console. :pac:

25.9gb of free space on the console

MilesMorales1

Unfortunately pretty standard these days though OS is terrible for taking up space.

That's rough. I mean, I'm sorted because I've a micro SD ready to go for launch day but that is some paltry amount of space.

Great design overall. Delighted I changed to Neon.
Also delighted I have that sd card ready.

It'll probably be even less come launch day.

Would I be right in saying that, with all the games announced so far, there are still no first person shooters coming out on the Switch? That seems bizarre given how ubiquitous the genre has been for the last few decades! Not that I want one particularly, just interesting if its indeed true.

And Overwatch if we all just /believe/

Nice little touch this, the Switch logo moves left and right to 'become' the Joy-Cons on the device.

Oh and nice to see it makes that 'click' sound on startup.

Can someone please remind me that I don't need to get this day one.
