They've said that they'll be giving a NES or SNES game with the sub but that you lose access to it at the end of the month, which is all kinds of bull****.

Ah here, that's some serious BS.

Oh Nintendo.......you can make chicken shìt out of chicken salad.
They are 20-30 year old games, give at least 2 a month & you wouldnt have to charge people for a stick to beat you with.

Yep but they've not said how much it'll cost. Mentioned a free period with paid subs to come later in the year.

I'm going to be very presumptuous and say they'll mimic a PS+/Games With Gold type of basis featuring classic/GC/N64 games.

Birra Goldeneye online would be mag-feckin-nificent.

Yes. But no details yet. Another point that irks me. Their online has been terrible and now they want to charge us for it. They won't even let us talk in-game in their titles.

There's a fierce bang of Sonic Adventure off that Mario trailer. And it's not out until Christmas

It's kinda weird that we still don't know any prices here yet. I suppose that price is there so they can drop it eventually.

It's speculated as a remake of Sun/Moon the only Nintendo title that is actually selling now so I expect you won't hear about it until the summer.

Yeah, read the speculation. I put off buying a 3ds xl for my son hoping that pokemon would be available on switch. Here's hoping.

32GB of storage... I'm gonna assume it's Micro SD compatible. If they make us have to take a screwdriver to get to the storage I'll freak.

Nope. Starting to think that Nintendo may be repeating past mistakes with the lack of titles.

Mario Kart for April.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: With Nintendo Switch, fans can enjoy the definitive version of Mario Kart 8 anywhere, anytime, even with up to eight friends in local wireless multiplayer. All your favorite tracks and characters return from the Wii U version, plus all DLC tracks and characters, and new characters join the roster, too: Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy from Splatoon, as well as King Boo, Dry Bones and Bowser Jr.! Plus, Battle mode has been revamped and includes Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast, with new courses such as Urchin Underpass and Battle Stadium, and returning ones like GCN Luigi’s Mansion and SNES Battle Course 1. Players can now carry two items at a time, including new items returning from previous Mario Kart games such as Boo (the item-stealing ghost) and the Feather, which gives players a high jump in Battle mode. Players can even choose to use a new Smart Steering feature, which makes driving and staying on the track easy for novice players and kids, even at 200cc. Play in TV mode in up to 1080p. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launches in April.

This will save a lot of tears and fights in my house!

No Metroid, no F-Zero, no, Animal Crossing, no Beyond Good and Evil 2 and no Smash Bros

32gb is too small alright, although micro sdhc cards are pretty cheap these days for pretty big storage.

The battery life is going to be sure in real usage.

Confirmed: It only has 32GB of onboard storage. That's more money to fork out.

The Switch, a memory card and a couple of games and you're looking at probably near €500. Though we probably won't need a memory card immediately.

Just woke up but my immediate feeling is that they've priced it too high. You're going to be looking at €400 with a game here, and €460 with the pro controller, which I'm guessing everyone will want.

A memory card, which again everyone will want, will bring that up to €500, which looks awful expensive when compared to the PS4 and Xbox One right now.

Mr.Saturn

Afterbirth+ is getting a boxed Switch release?!

Also, Disgaea 5 is a launch title.

The howls from left field continue.

The price is too high for the Switch. It's roughly €325 when converted from Sterling and you just know it'll be rounded up. €330 if we're lucky but more likely €350. It's not mass market friendly. And if the rumours are true it'll be another €50 for us to buy a decent memory card. And does it come with a game? Please don't say 1-2 Switch.

Missed the presentation myself, does that price include the dock and Zelda do we know? What were the launch games?

No Metroid either...

CiDeRmAn

The pricing is, on reflection, comparable to both the current PS and XB controller prices.
Plus, third parties will bring that price down.
I'd say a portable version with no dock is inevitable, drag that price down to 3DS:XL levels.
I'd be interested to see what else EA and Ubi are bringing.
No sign of Beyond Good and Evil 2 either, despite educated guesswork suggesting it would, given the news that the game would be getting a physical release exclusively for the Switch format, for a time anyway.

Mr E

Feck it, lads, I'm wide awake now.

Corholio

With the whole lack of info on specs, cart details, port details etc. With specs Nintendo have never given them so that was never going to happen. I think everything else will filter out in the next 24 hours.

Also, the boxes look like ever so slightly wider PSP boxes to me

I'm liking the red spine of the boxes too
