"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".

People have been saying Nintendo are doomed since the 80s. It's never been true.

I've paid €20, so they want me to come in and pay the balance...

I don't really get why they want another €30...I mean, it can't make that much of a difference really. Unless they want to really hook the people who're desperate for the console at launch, have limited consoles and want to exploit the impatience of certain consumers for more money. Though given how little they make off of console sales, that seems unlikely.

Exactly what I was thinking, I have an Amazon pre order anyway...

Would Zelda keep me going until Mario I wonder?

That could be 7 - 8 months.

Do you have a Wii U?

The reason is there must be a real shortage being allocated. So €50 dropped on it means you won't just ignore it. I wonder if you ordered online like I did will they cancel your order??

Classic Gamestop! The higher ups in that company are just the worst.

One thing the conference and the treehouse has done, it's made me excited to play my Wii U this weekend

Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D world, Splatoon and my VC games like Street fighter 2!!

3DS had a worse start and that console is fabulous. So I'll be happy with Zelda for launch.

super_furry

Really, really disappointing line-up. Nintendo are repeating all their mistakes of the past.

nairy hipples

This time yesterday I was so excited at what was to come.
Now I'm just deflated by what has transpired.

I was excited about getting a new console and had pegged on Switch. Now that Switch has disappointed I still want a new console... I might look at PS4/XB1, something I'd never considered before.

holy sh!!!!t that's a god awful lineup.

It's fairly disappointing, I was expecting a lot more than that, I might hold off until Mario comes out...

super_furry

Christ. So it could be almost two months after launch until there's another decent game released, in Mario Kart?

Today has been such a downer for Switch news.

MilesMorales1

I really hope that's not all we get this year. Pokemon stars would be nice.

The 3DS didn't sell 60 million units (as of Dec 2015) by having a bad games library.

Seriously? The 3DS is well supported, and is home to some of the best games I've played.

The 3DS had a handful of good titles, but they diminished in quality, only really spiking for Pokemon. Fire Emblem Awakening was fantastic, but then they muddied the series by making Fates a two-game release. Bravely Default? Great, but Bravely Second was poorly received and from what I understand, didn't sell well. But honestly, the library of games they released wasn't good for a console that struggled from the get-go. But in terms of long-term support, the console hasn't really received that much attention (the New 3DS is to blame for that, with games like Xenoblade Chronicles being an exclusive to that console and Hyrule Warriors being a total mess on the older version of the 3DS). The Zelda remakes sold well, but they Ocarina of time didn't sell the console initially. It's not the worst offending Nintendo console, but it really wasn't all that well supported when you consider the DS had a huge library and was consistently supported.

€160 for a switch with GameStop if you trade a 500GB PS4 Slim or Xbox One S

Bomberman looks pretty rough. An angled camera that doesn't show the whole map all at once is not what Bomberman needs.

thats for the single/co-op mode. multiplayer is top down

super_furry

Hahaha. Looks like Bomberman might have pay to play micro-transactions.

We're getting a new Tales Of game from Namco Bandai. No other details yet.

Joy-cons are synced simply by sliding them onto the screen.

31 UK for 128GB, that's will do...

That's the minimum you'd need. I've used 120GB on my 500GB Wii U hard drive and I don't buy retail games digitally. 256GB Micro SD cards take a big jump in price.
