"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".

Anyone any word of midnight launch from Gamestop yet?

was chatting to the boss of one in cork, he said the stores all want to do them and the ones in standalone buildings have been given initial go ahead but any inside in shopping centers will really have to convince HQ cause they will have to pay the shopping center to open, pay the staff extra for working at that time and also pay for security to keep people within the location of gamestop and not wandering around the center

Is that such a big deal? It's not like anything but the graphics change, and we know Switch will be running lower settings than XONE or PS4

Or are the PS3/360 versions feature cut?

they dont have some of the features alright litterally copy past update squads, so like better ball control and such is left out. they did say it would be a custom version so it could be built based on the early ps4/xb1 versions which was the previous engine but pushed to its limits

Got that delivery boost from Amazon myself there, nice little bonus.

Took the decision to cancel my Breath of the Wild - Special Edition order with them though. At £89.99 it was just too expensive for what they were offering, that sword statue and CD isn't worth the extra £41 over the standard edition.

It's a big shame we're not getting the same collector's edition as they are in the US - the Zelda carry case was the one thing I really would want.

What is Nintendo's quality control like when it comes to LCD ? Is it common to get DS's with stuck or dead pixels or backlight bleeding for example. That would be a disaster on the Switch. And being the first batch who knows what gremlins they will have. Plus no idea how I'd return it to Amazon having had it shipped via Parcel Motel. I'm in a mood as back decided to fall off my Samsung TV other day. Now everything is suspect.

My gamepad screen bled shortly after launch. They fixed it free though.

Rumour has it that FIFA for Switch might be based on the PS3 and 360 versions and not the PS4 and Xbox One versions. Or it could be its own version.

I got this one from Amazon for my Nexus 6P and used AddressPal to get it delivered. Works well so far and it's a decent size.

any idea how much longer on the move gaming that could provide

I got a DS Lite with a couple of dead pixels. All the various Gameboys and 2 Wii U's were fine though.

[saracasm]I'm buying the Switch on launch day. I'll cancel my preorder though if they don't have a browser, Netflix or Plex on it on day one!
I want to be able to have movies, tv and a Youtube video open on ALL of my consoles at once in my living room. What's this about the Switch playing games though? I think this an unlikely developement for what is ultimately a multimedia device.... will it have a killer app at launch, like Adobe Acrobat???[/sarcasm]

To be fair not having a browser and Netflix from day one is bull****. People ****ing love the **** out of Netflix. I don't know why as there's **** all on it but people love that ****.

Give them Netflix and a browser on what had tablet like capabilities could have been a strong selling point.

And why not be able to play YouTube, tv etc on it. That's what I use my iPad for 9 times out of 10. The switch tablet looks perfectly capable of doing so, so why not market that for the casual gamer that the sorely need for this console to be a success.

There's only so many of us who'll buy it no matter what.

I don't know, so far it has a **** launch line up, sensible stuff like the above not in place and I'm really struggling to see how they'll get this in the hands of consumers, other than you and me.

I was looking at it again today with what I'd buy to make it a family device I'd want 4 joy cons, so I'd have to buy 2 separately and a charger yolk along with one game and the switch itself was coming out at about €450 or so.

I just don't see people spending money on this. I really don't. I know I know it's early doors but with such HUGE competition in the market at the moment PS4, Xbox1, not to mention Nintendos own 3DS which I think parents will cling to for the kids, smaller, cheaper, etc..

Ugh, Nintendo I love you but it's like you want to fail.

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!

This thread is full of disagreements, and is far from an echo chamber, which is wonderful, as it's exactly what keeps it vibrant and fresh. Yet we still all get along, with a little gentle ribbing from time to time, and well thought out arguments at others. And bad jokes all over the place.

I wouldn't switch you guys for any other forum... :pac:

I know I'm hours behind but I was stuck in work playing let Lego all day (it's not as fun as it sounds) but

Got paid. Paid off my Switch pre-order. Have BOTW and a pro-controller ordered online and a case from Gamestop.

Just need to figure out a decent sized SD card and a battery pack to charge it on the go.

Would anybody have any recommendations on the latter? I don't actually own any devices that use USB-C connections and don't want to end up buying the wrong thing.

Good to know. Thanks

I've never seen any QC issues with Nintendo stuff.
Older devices used older tech, so the screen on the original GBA:SP and DS look terrible compared to the GBMicro and DS Lite. But after that it's all good.

Digital Solitude

Never had any problems with the DS Lite, DSi or 3DS I've owned.

DS Lite is 10 years old and survived a car crash with no bother.

Screens have all been top notch

Seeing that picture of the top view of the red joy-con for some reason reminded me of theVirtual Boy. Maybe it's the red and black

Ol' Donie

Not buying 1-2 Switch.

A) Literally 100% of my gaming is 1 player

It looks rubbish

C) Party games are silly. Parties are for beer and tunes, or, (hold on to your hats) actual good games.

It is possible I'm still bitter after being destroyed at Wii Sports bowling by my then 10 year old niece. It was a family gathing at Christmas. I was showing off my new launch day pride and joy. They all laughed at me.

All of them.

Never again.
