"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".

What ports of games are people hoping will come to the Switch in the first year? Sure they will not run like they do on PS4P or Xbone like now, but they will be on a handheld also, which is the amazing thing to me for any console game.

For me, I'd love FFXV and 7remake too, The two Tomb Raider games on one cart, RE7 (I bet it will come if the switch sells extremely well), Fallout4 with all DLC, Doom, to think of a few. I have these for ps4, but I would trade them in and get them for the Switch.

Also, I'm totally sure the switch handheld part will be upgraded every two years to keep up with 3rd party games. Kind of a no brainer.

The Switch should be looking for new games, preferably exclusives. Not old, overpriced, weaker ports. I've posted here before of how FF XV and RE 7 aren't happening. There'd probably be too much cutting and sacrifice to make them fit on the Switch. Think Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. *shudders*

By the looks of the graphics and straight number crunching the Switch as close to the Xbox as the Xbox is to the PS4, at 720p there won't be a huge gap, most PS4 and XBOX games run at 900p anyways.

I'd love Dark Souls, Rocket League, Darkest Dungeon, FTL, Civ, XCOM, Terraria, Sunless Sea or Dragons Dogma. Realistically I'd play nothing but these games if I had them on the go.

And I'd forgo all of them for XCOM.

What I wouldn't give for a portable XCOM.

I think it's interesting to see Nintendo use all these 'new', well new publically, faces in the media and interviewing for Switch. People like Koizumi and Takahashi especially. Koizumi's CV is incredible reading to be honest. He was an illustrator on Mario Kart for the SNES, assistant director on Mario 64, he did character and game design for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask and amongst many others was director of both Mario Galaxy and Mario Sunshine. Takahashi as well will almost certainly be a future CEO of Nintendo.

We can thank Iwata for that and putting a human face on these people. Takahashi in particular is a legend and probably more important to videogames and Nintendo than miyamoto. He has been heavily involved in some of the greatest games of all time. His cv is insane.

Absolutley agree this video is worth a watch, he made Z targetting in ocarina of time, which is now commonplace in 3d games now, but hes the father of it and the story of majoras mask.

Nintendo Switch interview: Nintendo on the price, games and hopes for its new console

Just a snippet from the interview.

Will the smartphone to be integral to the service beyond the voice chat?

Koizumi Yes, we like to think as Switch as working very well together with smartphones so we’re basing quite a few plans surrounding that.

They'll definitely use the camera function on smart phones.

The company's name is Waterfield Designs and yes, they're definitely not cheap. Expect to pay around €100. They're an American company and it's highly unlikely it'll be available here.

Though they have a 3DS XL Cityslicker case for $59.

That is very similar to my dream case, I want something I can open whilst its in my bag. Not something with zips that opens out like a book.

Ol' Donie

Oh, jesus, how I'd love to have time to worry about playing ALL the best games on ALL the best consoles.

Dig this, I love Nintendo's best games.

I also love many PS and Xbox games. Loads of them.

But I have f*ck all time these days, so a new Nintendo console is the only thing I'm unashamedly willing to commit time & cash to.

So bring it on. If you dig other stuff better, brilliant, enjoy it.

Me, my cold beer, and Hyrule are ready for midnight, March 3rd. And, baby, we're gonna enjoy it.

I have the 3DS one. They're very nice alright, well put together, nice materials etc, but this time around I prefer the look of the Ninty one.

The tables should turn in 3 weeks.

This is a Nintendo forum and a Switch thread which would have a trend towards positive vibes for the new console.
But there are those who take an alternative view, and air it on this thread.
But let them.
If their points of view held any sway we'd see more agreement, and I don't think any preorders have been cancelled due to those negative points.
Not only that but I don't think any have brought anything particularly new to the debate either.
So, let them vent.
I'm ultimately happy to spend my money on a new Nintendo console.
I'm not too happy to have others describe that as foolish.
Let them spend their few bob whatever way they like, buy a Switch now, in a year or even never, what difference does it make to the rest of us anyway.
Constructive discussion is always welcome, discussion only seeming to insult, not so much, and I think the moderators have said as much.
Plus, those who seem to enjoy churning things up for the sake of it are hardly regulars. Once they've had their fun they'll be on their way.

Last I checked this was the Switch discussion thread. I wasn't aware it was only meant to be a positive discussion.

By all means create a "I'm getting a Switch day one and am so excited!" Thread though!

wandatowell

I'm disgusted I had to cancel my pre-order. I just feeling that in 12 months till I get one there will be more on offer for a filthy casual like myself.

Also, my car was way down on power yesterday and I've been told that the turbo has to be replaced so no switch either way.

What did I miss here over the past couple of days? There's pages and pages of comments but as far as I can see there's been little news.

Everyone has agreed that there is absolutely no reason to buy a Switch in year one if you have a Wii U

By the way Miles, you were asking about cases and accessories the other day.
Guy on reddit dug up pics of the inside of the official carry case.
