"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".

Right now I am a firm no on launch. This is after getting more sleep and reading over everything.

There is nothing appealing to me except Zelda which I can play perfectly well on Wii U.

I'm sorry but I cannot understand how anyone can be positive about that launch lineup. It's chronic. I mean if Zelda wasn't there, what is of any interest?

I really want more details on the free monthly games. In this day and age, taking games back off people again, most of which we have all paid fill retail for and have probably paid for in virtual form again, is downright insulting.

Has anything been shown about the actual medium the games come on?

It's supposed to be cartridges, right?

Yes, there's a photo somewhere...

Did anyone else get worried at the start of the conference when they said it would launch March 3rd in select European markets?

I was sure they would leave us out :P

You forget, perhaps, the PS2 and PS3, and PS4 launch line ups which were awful.

Treehouse starts in a few hours, maybe half 3?

I don't get the negativity people are feeling. I loved it. Zelda looks fantastic. Mini game compilation looks fun, mario looks incredible, splatoon is splatoon, they muffed up the communication but the games are on point, and there's obviously more than what was shown.

I actually loved how awkward and Japanese all the presentation was.

Really disappointed in the event and really disappointed in people avocating the price and launch games by preordering. Miserable start to its life tbh. Paying for online services is another tipper for me too.

Not keen on another monthly subscription myself they are getting out of hand these days.
But the price of the console isn't so bad. Sure everyone would like it to be cheaper but how cheap can you go without the quality suffering. You can't have it all.

I think there are more surprises to come in the next 6 weeks.

What's this Amazon discount some people are referring to?

Still can't believe that their answer to Games with Gold and PlayStation Plus is to basically lend you a NES or SNES rom for a month before taking it back. That's a whole new level of Nintendo arrogance.

Especially considering they just sold a NES emulation machine 2 months ago.

Yeah some clarification on the Virtual Console is needed.

It could make a whole world of difference having all the VC games from the Wii u at launch and having the GameCube games ready to go as well.

Any word on the release date for Ultra Street Fighter 2?

Also when is this treehouse thing people have been talking about?

Mr E

Another look at the UI. Looks nice and clean.

I thought Zelda looked beautiful (I did not buy a Wii-U), I liked Mario and Mario Kart and Xenoblade. I think the launch lineup is pretty good. Could do with some more 3rd party support if only to allay fears about 3rd party support but overall I thought it was a decent lineup. Certainly far superior to Wii-U

I guess it depends on whether or not you have a WiiU. I have a Wii U so could pick up Zelda on that and save €330. Also I already own Mario Kart 8 and the addition of a few characters and a battle mode isn't that big a deal.

For me the more I think about it, it is the worse launch line up I can remember.

MilesMorales1

It's a fine launch line up, better than 3DS, but I'm baffled why Skyrim and other stuff is either summer or later in the year. Skyrim is nearly 6 years and is available cheaper and better on other platforms, its such a dumb decision.

Yeah. It's one of the better line ups I've seen in a long time.

PS4 had Knack and a Killzone sequel no one wanted.

What is it about the launch line up that you find pretty good? Granted, Zelda looks pretty good but in saying that it is also available on the Wii U. Bomberman games are generally good but unless it's priced at €10 or less then it is overpriced.

Oh Rayman legends is launch as well, just not confirmed yet.

Absolutely this! A really robust virtual console lineup at launch would make a world of difference.

There's no reason why they shouldn't dump everything currently available on te Wii U virtual console out there for day one.

Add some key Gamecube titles and that'll do as a start.

On a separate note, I see Sega are doing a Puyo Puyo Tetris game for Switch. This is exactly the type of thing I wanted for the portable side.

Presume people are only buying this because they want to own the last home console Nintendo will ever make.

This has catastrophe written all over it.

I think the pricing is a mistake:

I think the launch lineup is actually pretty good.
I think the hardware is pretty good - The hybrid idea.
Need clarification of the chat functionality.

But that price is just too damn high (Insert that meme here)

I went from dampening my interest of it a few weeks ago to hyped like a 9 year old, and all it took for me were a Mario that looks like 64 and a Zelda that looks like Ocarina...

I didn't have a Wii U, haven't had a Nintendo machine since the Wii, I'm well on board...

My only half worry is what will I do between Zelda and Mario release, I hope there will be enough to tide me over....
