"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 cancelled my 1-2 switch pre order after watching that video.

Looks awful haha

I don't suppose GameStop would give me my e5 deposit back :O

I think they allow you to move the 5 euro to a different pre order

Mr E

Didn't even know there was browser on the Wii U.

All I'll say is that from you, I can understand this reaction, as you're the only person I know that uses the browser on the Wii U. I think that you're very much in the minority on that though, most people would just use the browser on their phone/tablet/laptop over any browser built into a console.

Mr E

That game is a tech demo and should have been a pack in with the console. I won't be getting it at launch either.

On the plus side, it'll be €20 (or less) by June.

It's alright though, she's going to dose everyone with super-strength Prozac.

This article about bomberman is all kinds of cringe too

Jesus they are fairly gimmicky. It reinforces my thought that it should should be bundled with the switch.

ehhhhhhh strange alright

Seriously, WTF are some of these? "Baby"? Awful. That's not fun. And the acting. I hate those people.

I made it about half way through that video. Christ almighty, that's a mortifying video and who the fook would play that baby game.

Late in the sense it's the first video from Nintendo I can recall showing clearly what the Switch hardware is all about. As I said, it's a good video.

It would be nice for them to go and make the same kind of video about their online service, VC and this mobile app - clear details from the horse's mouth.

Re: the touchscreen, I just figured it would be mentioned at some point as that might attract more folks to it.

emmmm the presentation was a video which clearly showed it. as was the original video.

i fully expect a direct which will detail online and vc and such in the next month or so.

as for the touch screen i think they are not focusing on it as its something that can only be used in handheld mode so not a major feature perhaps

cancelling my preorder. I can't live without a web browser.

I have 3 web browsers (on my Wii/PS3/Xbox 360) I'm not using if you want to borrow one. Like new, barely used

You were never getting this at launch.

Bull$h1t! You can't say that. I've had it pre ordered with Gamestop since before the presentation. Everything in that and since has put me right off it. It's not what I wanted or was expecting. I'll get it eventually but it could be in a year now.

Don't particularly care if they never implement a browser. As long as eshop and VC are set up correctly.
Browsing on consoles and tvs is usually annoying as hell anyway.
I want a games machine not a media box

Mr E

I have many devices to browse the internet on. I don't want to do that on the Switch.

is it really late? i mean anyone who was gonna buy it day one watched the presentation and such and it was clear enough in that. this will help casuals and parents who may buy it when its back in stock in the months that follow

Good video, confirms that a battery pack can charge it that was a little unclear from the earlier presentations.

Hardly late, the main audience for that video is the people who'll pick one up post-day-one launch.

Nintendo mentioned in the Switch's reveal presentation in January that video capture was coming in a later software update.

There was no mention of touch screen as Nintendo see it as a secondary control. The menu will be accessed by analogue stick and or touch screen (I assume) but it's not too important. I see it being used more in games like it was on the 3DS.

Good video that, nice and clear. Seems a bit late to be releasing it a few weeks before the launch but better late than never I guess.

Wonder will that share button be able to record video down the line and not just take screenshots.

Also, no mention of the touchscreen - afraid they'll confuse the audience or the audience will start comparing it to a tablet?

I have a Grey Switch paid off in GameStop...
I'm toying with the idea of switching it (no pun intended) to a Neon Red/Blue....
Which colour are people getting??

Have a Neon Blue/Red ordered in Smyths as it seems to be the more rare SKU.
And have a set of the opposite Red/BLue joy cons ordered too so can go all blue or all red.

The Blue/Red consoles are sold out online on Gamestop and Amazon, only the grey SKU can now be pre ordered.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the Neon... I wonder will GameStop let me change or will that throw me to the back of the line... thereby not being guaranteed one at launch...

Guess it depends on stock available. The fact it's already paid off might help though

Neon all the way. I don't know what it is about it exactly, more nintendo like and playful I guess.
I do have a second set of grey joycon ordered though, so I get both looks
