"As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business", Iwata adds, "let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand new concept under the development codename 'NX'."

And...that's it. Iwata says Nintendo will share more information about the new hardware "next year".

Why is this not up on Amazon for pre-order already???? Goddamn it's been over 30 minutes since the reveal

The guys on amazon.com are on the ball.

(No pre-order link yet though)

Do we think the handheld does the processing or its streamed over like the Vita cross play.

And does this spell the end of the DS line?

MODS, Any chance we can split the thread between speculation and reveal? It would be nice to have all the details on the first page or maybe wait until we have the full list of specs?

It's not going to be a powerhouse, size-wise we should be able to determine that already, but if we get a seamless experience of moving from console to handheld and it plays games, I'm happy!

New Trauma Centre game?

I would take a EU port of Trauma Team, I still get pissed we never got it as people hail it as one of the high points of the series :mad:

There's a chance for Nintendo here. Plenty have held off on PS4/XB1 so far and wouldn't mind holding off again if it's powerful enough and has the support from developers.

It's like a fan made concept video from 2005.

Looks great. I want one.

Yeah was kinda shocked to see From Software and EA there, can only hope seeing them and Activision will mean the Switch gets the comparable games that PS4 and Xbone do.

And what will Atlus bring to the table?
-#FE port, or the rumoured sequel?
-The next mainline SMT game (SMT5), as there might not be another Ninty Portable after this so its the natural progression point.
-Persona 5?

These launch lists of developers can end up being quite misleading so won't take too much notice of that as of yet. But hey Skyrim is a pretty good surprise and start.

Who saw Skyrim in a Nintendo console launch video coming? :pac:

Take-Two are in the list of developers...nice.

I'm a bit worried about the controller not having enough buttons for games being developed for the PS4 or Xbox One as well. It looks like there are two shoulder buttons when the two controllers are docked but it seems to have only one on each when they are both detached and used separately.

One of the things that seemed to be a problem in the last couple of generations for Nintendo was third party developers trying to get a consistent control method no matter which physical controller was used on the Wii or Wii U and then mapping the controls with less buttons than Sony and Microsoft's consoles.

Still though....this looks great.

Wondering if that Wii U pro controller pro I picked up on lightening deals a while ago will work with it

Think it was confirmed a while ago it would be compatibile with WiiU Pros, looking at it there is not much physical change between the WiiU and Switch Pros in terms of button placement, layout.

Early impressions is that it's a different and really nice looking piece of hardware, I think that was important after the confusion with the Wii U.

Yeah that's what first caught my eye - it looks like a nice piece of tech, for grown ups too! So hopefully is has the internals to back it up. I've been mostly disappointed with Nintendo showings of late (excluding Breath of the Wild) but Switch has me genuinely excited - swore I wouldn't buy another console at launch after the Wii, but this might tempt me to go back on that - I do love nice tech.

After watching that, I've gotta get that day 1 pre-order in to ensure I get one!

Pros
New Mario
Old WiiU favourites return for on the go
Zelda
Pro Controller
Detachable Controllers split thats cool
Graphics great for mobile
March 2017
Fun and keeps Tendo multiplayer magic
Carts are back
Name is ok and understandable worldwide

Cons
Detachable faceplate part looks horrid
Pro looks like Accessory only.
joycon name sucks
Take 2 = Red dead 2?

Questions
Dock seems to update as mention portable mode enables
Triggers Analogue?

Great that 2 devices could provide some fun 2v2 games on the go. I like the idea of it, so I'm interested to see more.

Was that Mario Kart 8? Or another one? I noticed you could have 2 powerups, a bit like Double Dash...

Looks like a mix of Double Dash & 8. The 2 powerups & King Boo are from Double Dash but there's only 1 driver in each car like 8.

Custom Nvidia Tegra processor confirmed as well

Goodbye boring bus commute

And car journeys for the kids in the back on long journeys for me, really sociable looking thing, and if it gets people on board, local multiplayer might get the kickstart i'd personally love to see. I miss the days of decent local multiplayer.

Looks great! Definite day 1 purchase (although that was always going to be the case!)

Noticeable that Rockstar aren't on the list of developers. I wonder will they be added after their reveal at 4 today?

Take 2 are Rockstars Parent company

No Mans Sky part 2

I think I will wait to actually see reviews of the console and analysis of actual gameplay footage running on the device before I get excited and commit to a purchase.

However I do like what I see so far.
