"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".

Gladly look forward to having to tell you the same thing over and over. Just stop quoting me and live on in your blissful bubble and watch the end of Nintendo in the console scenario.

There's zero anger either. Get over yourself if you think this even raises anything other than a shrug in my life.

Anything seen as negative is automatically trolling or Nintendo hate. Pathetic

Not so much being negative, a few things rightfully so to be negative about and unanswered questions etc, the whole 'idiot etc' thing is another thing though. Doesn't add anything to the points you're making or even make them stronger. You know very well it's not the whole 'negative is seen as trolling etc etc', it's when you're calling people idiots for disagreeing with you. There's just no need for it in all honesty.

I hope I've time for the Switch at launch.

I'm in a new role in work, and I'll be on duty on the 3rd of March.

Good thing it's portable so!

I'll get some gaming in, whatever updates are needed after picking it up at midnight, and then bring it to work and try to find some time in between duties there.

Hope my nurses like the sound of the Zelda theme!!

Till you have to download the day one update and zelda patch...

As you said, you've posted here for a while, this particular angry Nintendo fan stuff is a more recent development.

Still have my pre-order and Amazon will be hopefully shipping to me in time for the 3rd now but I just find myself resenting so much of what Nintendo are doing with this launch.

It's not the Switch - I think it's the exact product they need to make and if it gets the support of every internal Nintendo studio - it should be huge. It's more the lack of information (still) and the accessory pricing. Three weeks out and there's still nothing from them about their online services and their virtual console.

I've spent hundreds of euro on virtual console games across the Wii and New 3DS and Nintendo are just flat out ignoring everything they're asked about whether or not these purchases will transfer over or there'll at least be a discount for rebuying. I suspect the reason is because they want you to again buy the games they've already sold to you and in a world where Microsoft are doing things like backward compatibility, that's not good enough.

Things like not including a rechargable joycon grip and then selling it for a price that's seems just too high and then the pricing of the controller pro - which will be essential because of the lack of a d-pad on the joy-cons - again leave a sour taste in the mouth.

I shouldn't feel so sketchy about a new Nintendo launch but there's just a few too many niggles about how Nintendo are going about things. I'm alright with with the launch line-up really. Things like Arms and 1-2 Switch don't interest me in the slightest but there's Zelda and I'll pick up I Am Setsuna, assuming they actually have an online store at launch.

There's no joke in my posts. Jesus, someone with a critical view of the Switch is now a troll and a moderator says it's fair game to call him a troll.

When did I get personal with you? Anyone who thinks the world would be just GTA cod and Fifa without Nintendo is an idiot, that's just a fact.

A joke is a joke but you've been on here for the last week or so deliberately stirring it up and being contrary.
Seriously.
And you don't get to call foul seeing as you've engaged plenty of people here in a personal fashion, including me.

I need to cancel my online pre order for 1-2 switch and an extra set of joy cons in GameStop tomorrow.

Will I need to bring print outs of the order to cancel? Or maybe some ID?

Anyway, moving on from the trolls who contribute nothing to the discussion. Direct should be any day now.

I'll be quite happy with the Switch in the first year anyway. Zelda, Arms, Disagea, Binding of Isaac, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, Rime, Sonic Mania, Yooka-Laylee, Ultra Street Fighter, FIFA (if it's a decent enough version) maybe also Xenoblade although I don't think it'll make this year, possibly some unannounced as yet titles and a few I'll naturally discover as well. Not to mention importing any games that may be released in Japan first/only.

You're comparing the PS4 and Switch over and over, a simply ridiculous comparison which you're gonna lose on every time.

Your current comparison only makes sense if the Wii U was an equal in success to the PS3. It was nowhere near that. Hence why Nintendo are playing catchup massively and needed a big first year.

They seemed to have missed that point completely, and some of their hardcore fans seem completely oblivious to it too!

You raised the notion of the Switch being rushed and home to rehashes.

Good for you that you didn't jump for a PS4 at launch.
And no one buys a console at launch and gets to play loads of games, that's why you wait 18 months and get it then.

Not sure why u keep referencing other completely different consoles. The thing is, that's why I didn't pounce on a PS4 either.

I remember a time when people bought consoles to access loads of games. Now people seem happy with the console and not much else.

Zero choice, the ultimate consumer hell.

Aside from Bloodborne, Sony leaned heavily on remasters of The Last of Us and Uncharted to fill the gaps until they announced sequels, we got the latter but we are still awaiting the former.
MS were the same, with Halo MCC biding the time until Halo 5 arrived, and that remaster contained remasters that were released on the 360!

So, no, Nintendo are hardly rushing it, but Rayman Legends isn't really worthy of a marketing push at all, which is a different thing altogether.

Loved the Metro remaster too, that was like a whole new game, from the incredible visuals to the improved gameplay options.
