"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".

Too late now, we're on the hype train!

Mr E

Nailing a switch to Reggie's head is going a little bit too far.

It won't be as powerful as Xbox One and PS4, I think anyone expecting that is naive and the source of their own disappointment as well. I think the point is will be reasonably powerful, competitive and interesting enough for third parties to develop for. Xbox One is fast losing exclusive support and with the Scalebound debacle I can see a few others not quick to jump into big projects with Microsoft, from early signs Ninento are offering something different to that and hopefully it can fulfill the potential I think is there with the Switch.

Metroid has been tentatively rumoured for a few months now and let's be honest, saying there is a Metroid game in development but won't be shown anytime soon is hardly much of a risk anyway, especially with a new console. The chances is there has been at the very least some exploration of a Metroid game.

Nearly there...

It's possible mind, there is a Metroid game in development, I don't know obviously. I'm pretty sure that guys 'sources' are bullcrap mind. It's easy to say 'Metroid is in development' either he's right and gets credit online, or he's wrong and says 'oh they cancelled it/its really slow development'

That's not the point, devs won't want to work on a system that causes headache. The PS4 being built on what's basically PC hardware was the greatest thing Sony ever done, porting games is a piece of piss compared to PS3 and devs love it.

Make your system weak and hard to develop for and you don't get games. I'm not buying a Nintendo machine because they don't release games fast enough. Don't cite the Wii U as something of a successful endeavour either... it was a massive failure for the reasons above.

You beat me anyway. I got 7 seconds. Once I saw the hat and he screeched and said "I'm gonna get in troooooubbbblllee" I was quite done.

I don't expect it on Friday. I just expect it to be announced with gameplay shown.

Nope. But metroid.

That OBE1 guy has leaked that Metroid is in development, but don't expect it on Friday. Not sure I believe it myself, but there it is

10 things the Nintendo Switch has to deliver

Agree with all of this.

How can it be as powerful as the competition and come in at £200 with a built in portable console, I just don't see it happening. I think the rumours are true and it will fall just below the Xbox one, but I'm OK with that because it should be powerful enough to run mist games the the competition can, and better still, I can bring it to work in my Taxi and play almost Xbox one quality games on the go(car charger is something it most have available at launch)!

Got a preorder from Smyths. Realised I'm flying out on a lads weekend for a match that day. Then realised I can bring it with me. I potentially could have the first lost Switch.

Strongly disagree with that for numerous reasons. Nintendo now in a lot of consumers minds are seen as releasing weak hardware. They'll take a look and see a console coming out that's weaker than 2 year old competition and move on. I don't like the casual consumer that buys just FIFA and COD. But they're a massive part of the market.

I hope somehow Nintendo have gone with the Pascal X2 Nvidia chip. But I don't think they have. They might have the money but I think if this is weak it'll die in a couple of years and that could be it for them releasing hardware. They're losing for lack of a better word, respectability. I'm out watching the football so it's not the best time to post about this.

Well now, boys and girls
Everyone know that Switchmas is a time, in March, when only the good children and adults who preorder will have Father Switchmas, Shigsy to you and me, bring beautiful Switch consoles to our local games retailer, or delivered to our door, if you ordered online.
Bad children and adults, who didn't bother to preorder, will be set against each other, for the remaining Switch consoles, and some may even miss out...

Threw a 5er on a pre-order at GS, sure can always cancel for whatever reason!

Worst part was having to register for a GS account :mad:
:pac:

Cool, that sounds like the best option. I'll see what the price and stuff is at the conference on Friday morning and pre order then.

Thanks. Do you pay the rest in store on collection or is it taken from your credit card?
