"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".

Nintendo's advertising might be a bit off with 1-2 Switch but anyone that has played Johann Sebastian Joust with move controllers which this is obviously aping will tell you how much of a blast this type of game is for parties and multiplayer.

Also developers are saying this 'next gen' rumble really is as good as Nintendo are saying and you are able to do some really crazy things with it.

Do they refund deposits? I'm the same. Hope to get my fiver back for 1-2 switch :P

In my experience, they refund it as cash or credit card, however it was paid, up until the release of the item. After that they say they ordered it in for you, so no refund but you can use the credit on another pre order if you prefer, or as general credit if theyre not bring particularly grouchy.

More cringe from this memetastic game.

They're generally easy going when you cancel in store. They usually give me cash in the past, although they refund onto your card if thats how you paid which is a bit of a pain.

It was a paypal transaction, so I hope they can refund them in the store

It's referref to as a "reservation" amount in the email I got from them, not actually a deposit. It's a subtle difference that should help us get the money back

Has anyone any experience in cancelling a pre-oreder made online from GS?
I emailed their helpdesk and was told I had to go to the store to cancel
Seems like a lot of hassle for 5 bucks, but I don't want someone to miss out, thinking they are alocating a console to me neither

Personally, I reckon that Nintendo are anxious to starve the notion that the Switch has anything in common with the Wii/WiiU lineup, aside from updates to existing WiiU titles popping up during the early months of the new console. If they published material and photos showing the Switch working with WiiU Pro controllers it'd be the only things the haters would post, in an effort to stymie the system before it's launched. At the very least, it would tie the Switch to the unsuccessful WiiU system and damage the new brand.

Seeing them demo motion controls would argue that they still don't want to distance themselves away from it. Was certainly the most confusing part as the world has moved on.
I definitely view the Switch as what the WiiU should have been. A hybrid console that works outside of the room the console is in.

They specifically had ports for the GameCube controller on the Wii iirc and it didn't damage the Wii brand, I thought one of the big pluses of Nintendo was the backwards compatibility of their systems.

The WiiMote was the focus of all the advertising though, and they were such a huge whoop-dee-doo that there was no real reason to worry about diluting the message. Also, the Wii was not coming off the back of a console that got bogged down in the public's inability to distinguish it from it's predecessor. So patching the WiiMote / Pro Controller (please please PLEASE patch in GamePad support so you can have 2 player couch co-op with asynch screens!) later makes good sense until the Switch beds in as a distinct entity.

(There is a danger that it won't - it's just similar enough in looks to the Wii U that proles and pluggers may still look at it and wonder when Nintendo's next proper console is coming. I still haven't seen an ad on regular telly, which is still a thing for mums and dads you millennial boxsetting stream-monkeys, and they still control many purse strings. I've loved the ads so far, and my kids are looking forward to Switchmas, and I'm sure the Superbowl gave them amazing market penetration in the US but this is europe... WAIT! THAT'S IT!

Fade in :
Tight focus - David Cameron's eyes, narrowed and focused.
Cut to - Boris Johnson looking jubilant and bouncing around.
Cameron stands up, disgusted. "Hollyhocks, Boris! This is an outrage" to which Boris retorts with some incomprehensible toff gurgles. But it's not Brexit. They're playing Bomberman! The camera pans around to show the TV where Boris's yellow BM is dancing for joy. Then a bomb slides up to him from out of nowhere, killing him. Michael Gove's voice is heard over some ridiculous phone-based chat app shouting "Eat ****, you shaven honey monster!". Jeremy Corbin leans in to shot, gives a double thumbs up and delivers the killer line :
"Now this is a Switch we can all get behind!"
before May walks in, pulls it out of the dock and says gives them a stern "Back to work" stare. When they're out of the room she slides on the Joycons and starts dropping bombs all over the map. We see the glow of a thousand explosions reflected in her steely hair as a raucous chorus of Ave Satani swells and the screen burns out to leave 03 03 seared on our eyeballs....

And yes, in the cold light of day, I see the need to play down any potential points of vulnerability to bolster developer confidence, and how that affects browser availability in the short term. But it doesn't change the underlying disagreement - gaming purity vs some things to all men.

As for the outpouring of backhanded love on the previous page... aw, you guys! And for the record, this *is* my blog

Not sure I agree with that sentiment - yes it makes sense not to mention anything about the Wii-U in any Switch marketing material - but providing backwards compatibility with previous controllers could only be seen as a good thing and a goodwill gesture to the millions of Wii-U owners. Don't think it would cause confusion.

I mentioned it ages back but I could have sworn it was mentioned the Wii-U Pro controller was going to be compatible with the then NX. Turns out I didn't read it, I was just psychic, maybe. :P

This genuinely is a great little community we have here, and I've loved being part of it. The best thing about it is how we can disagree on various things, and still remain civil. It's a very rare occasion (or the occasional troll post) that things do get dragged down a bit, but these are seldom, thankfully!

See, I don't play online much. But I know others do and thats perfectly ok, its a reasonable thing to want given other platforms in the competitive market have it so I don't take the piss out of them when the uncertainty around the online features causes them anxiety...

Okay, I'm putting the browser thing to bed, climbing in beside it and gently spooning till the morning.

PS, I quoted your post for convenience, not to target you for a relatively benign comment. When the Browsites triumph and the others go to The Camps I will keep you as a pet or custodial staffer.
