"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".

Fair play to them with this treehouse stream after the ropey start with lag. Nearly going 5 hours at this stage.

I'd love to have seen the Mario game as a launch title!

Confirmed it will be more like 64 and Sunshine rather than the recent Mario games.

Nintendo don't or any other company for that matter want you to game share... a digital purchase is a licence for you not a license to give to your mates.

Well when your in a house with two consoles it makes sense, plus digtal sales are soaring because of it which stops companies like gamestop selling 2nd hand games and taking from the industry, so I would think games company like game sharing off the record hence why its possible in the first place.

Nintendo always get **** whenever they announce anything from the 3DS to the Wii U. The Wii U actually got a lot of praise at the time.

Nintendo portables tend to do very well. I expect this hybrid to do the same.

Sorry can we just roll back a bit... the price is 330 euro, its €30 more expensive than a PS4 or Xbox One

Why in the Christmas do some consider this too expensive? A pipe dream that it would be 250, I bought a *new* 3DS XL last Christmas for that price, get a grip on yourselves. A Wii U costs 299 for god sake :rolleyes:

No games with it for €330, Smyths said Zelda is €65 so €395 with one game throw another €65 for the pro controller and that's €460. That is a lot of dough in the first week of March. I preordered mine at 12pm Today.

The console was only properly introduced today, the presentation said there are 80 games on the way for the switch, i would imagine now that nintendo has opened the gates, that more games companies will be able to announce thre upcoming games in the 7 week run up to the consoles launch. Be patient and its a good opportunity to those that haven't been in the wiiu generation and will now have the pleasure of playing some of the best wiiu games rejigged for the switch. A zelda launch in march, mario kart deluxe a month later and splatoon 2 in May/june. Im really looking forward to them and that intresting looking mario game in time for Christmas

The point is the had the attention of the world, everyone was curious, they should of pulled out all the stops to deliver a glimpse of every single game they could, and give all the answers everyone wanted and blow everyone's mind.
But instead they have chased off a lot of potential customers they haven't touched a Nintendo console since the Wii.

I can safely say it wont cost that for too long.

I couldn't care less about the launch titles, it's the price point and the lack of storage along with the gimmick of playing games on the go adding zero value to me as to why I'll be giving this a miss.

I personally think if this fails like the Wii-U then they will bow out of the console market. Even this decision below has me questioning what are they thinking since they are offering a service to rival PS or Xbox

Monthly free classic game on Switch is indeed only available for that month

But I'll wait to they announce the cost as anything over €20 is too much.

Playing on the go isn't just a gimmick in fairness, its a dream come true for me I must say. A lot of Wii u owners always loved the off screen play but the drawback was you couldn't bring it to the jax or to bed or too work! With this you can. Personally I drive a taxi and I was very close at one stage buying a second Wii U to install in the car. Now this solves those problems!

Mr.Saturn

The reveal trailer for Ultra Street Fighter II shows it's a spruced up HD remix (you can toggle back to the old graphics, and, I assume, like HDR, the original Super Turbo balance) with a couple extra modes. There seems to be a co-op mutliplayer, similar to the 'Dramatic Battle' stuff from the Alpha series. Say what you please about it being the 7th iteration (or 8th, depending on your definitions) of Street Fighter 2, but the prospect of unhooking the joycons and going head-to-head with a mate is pretty attractive.

It looks like a great little puzzle game. Seems much better than Arms or 1-2-Switch. I wonder will it be a full €60

The Joy-Con grip that comes with it doesn't charge the Joy-Cons it seems, its just a grip. You can buy a different grip that has a USB-C port. This seems an odd choice, even if you can probably just charge the Joy-Cons by docking them with the screen.

It's a pass for me in buying at launch. With Zelda available on Wii U it just seems pointless. I don't really want to play home console style games on the go. I used my D's/3ds for Layton/Phoenix wright/smaller experience type games. Big explore type games probably won't work for me on a smaller screen.

Personally, not having a huge library doesn't put me off. I'm not a constant gamer. 4 good games a year would do me.

Objectively though I don't think it'll be successful. They're still chasing that Wii gold and IMO that was a one off

.

Why would they. They sold over 60 million 3DS and a paulty 13 million WiiUs but by merging both their audiences into The Switch and the Dev teams they can still continue to make huge amounts of money if it takes off.

Heck look at the Japan Charts last week. 14 of 20 top sellers are from Nintendo. Hardly disaster time. if they get half the 3DS folks to purchase the Switch will be a success and big profit.

Also remember Nintendo are making money on 2 fronts as the hardware manufacturer but also as developers too. They making way more from their software along even on a small install base than some big studios like Platiumn or Capcom but Nintendo dont get half credit they deserve. Even Wii U they made load of money but people only see the failure due to number of consoles sold.

They keep having these needless up hill battles trying to gain a foothold in the console market. There is Sony with 60 million PS4 customers ready to go. License the games to Sony. Over night Nintendo would finally be an incredible success with very little effort.

I actually don't think it's what they should do but I'm giving you the tanks because it's what I'd love them to do being primarily a playstation user.

Mario and Pokémon on the playstation would be amazing. For me anyway.
