Both, but going to have to wait for both too, as I'm on Android!

I'm 99% Android, but I have an ipad. Easiest tenner I'll ever spend.

Same here. Have they even mentioned an Android release or date?

Fair play to Nintendo for showing off the Switch, that'll keep the hype machine going. But is Zelda really going to miss the console's launch after showing it like that? That'll annoy a lot of folks. The screen itself looks a little dull from the angle the camera was looking at it, hopefully just a bad angle.

Well played Nintendo.

Well, guess I know what I'll be watching this evening.
I know Reggie has been on there at least once a year showing off things like Mario Kart, but it's clear from the fact Miyamoto is there and he seems to be in the States frequently these days that they're getting more serious about the West

Fallon you lucky swine...

Maybe it's just cos I've been in a good mood the last few days, but that Fallon bit was amazing! It really made me confident that Nintendo are thinking of new interesting ways to market this thing. I know that Fallon was playing up for the cameras, but his excitement was still infectious, as was the audience reaction. Good job Reggie!

The creativity from that man makes me nauseous.

That tiny little stand that supports the handheld version is just begging to be broken. A 10 year would have it broken off in less than 30 seconds of being handed the device.

Depends what its made from, I'd say they're expecting it to get flattened the wrong way, sure look at the DS, those lads are pretty hardy but don't look it

Andrew76 · 08-12-2016 03:44PM

It looks like a premium piece of kit to me, probably with a price to match. Anyone handing it to a 10 year old can't complain about bits getting broken off tbh. Give them a controller instead.

Some little rumours about the battery life on the Switch being better than first thought, 'up to' 7 or 8 hours is one piece of speculation.

The USB-C connector seems to have been all but confirmed as well, a listing on EB Games Australia for a USB-C lead for the Switch was up for a short time before being taken down.

They said it's coming later because android is hard since its 2000 different device configurations instead of 2.

That means absolutely nothing, they don't know the price, so they put anything in to the system so they can take preordered. When it was still the NX it was on the system at a price of around €260 if I remember correctly. The PS4 VR was up there at €999 for a while too. Gamestop deserve a lot of criticism for their pricing, but it should be fair criticism at least!

GAME have the Switch listed for pre order at £999.99. In fairness, it's just a placeholder as they state.

http://www.game.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-1712269#preorder

Gameseek have it available to pre order for £198.50 with a "Pre-Order Price Guarantee". The thing is though, they take your money straight away and don't tell you what you'll get. It could be the most basic SKU with no game, limited memory, no additional accessories, etc.

At least the Switch should be an energy efficient home console.

7 to 8 hours in that form factor? Unless they're using supercapacitors and they're not cheap or even at a mass production level.

Would be delighted to be proved wrong though.

My gf has this phone. 24 hours of nonstop Facebook games and phone.

Nintendo can do it in that form factor, even half that would have no problem powering a tegra for 7 hours.
