Nintendo Switch (Nintendo's next console)

Well, I knew this day was coming.... the day when a new Ninty console would launch but I am no longer the sole user of said console so I have to vote on it with the adorable plebs. I'd hoped to get a few more years though
I only hope I've done enough that the girls have no idea what an XBox is when the time comes.... Maybe I'll get them to have another "I'm Daisy, you're Peach!" "No! I'm Peach, you're baby Rosalina!" punch up at the weekend, make sure they're fully in the fold.

I hope they don't go with Red. If I add a few Red game boxes to the Wii and WiiU stuff under the telly my front room will start o look like a very tempting ISIS target.

Nintendo (of America) anyway seem to have moved towards a branding colour of red, similar to the NES days. I wonder if the NX branding will be similar, or at least the game boxes etc. Neogaf have already been on the case:



Damn it's exciting to be speculating about stuff like this again on a new Nintendo console.

I was thinking yesterday for the actual game cases, since Ninty are all about using less plastic an stuff, if they would use the same size cases as xbone and ps3/4 game boxes. Think they should.

And maybe go with a dark colour for the boxes. It's a silly thing but I think the light blue boxes are kinda off putting for the WiiU, donno why, just a mental block, see it as a very, 'Tomy 4+' colour or something. What I do like about the WiiU game boxes is that they kinda harken back to the gamecube logo, just different colour.

I don't mind what case colour they are, just keep them all the same. It upsets me an inordinate amount seeing the yellow Mario Maker box amongst all the other blue ones. I suppose the select boxes will be red so that'll increase the torment!

Yes, I have little to worry about I know.

Lol, yes that yellow SMM box drives me crazy too. Glad I don't have the green(?) Luigi box.

I wonder, if anyone has made an alternate blue SMM cover yet. If someone as, I may just print one out and swap out the boxes. Store the yellow one away.

These are big things to be worrying about, EH.

Edit: but in fairness, I'm very picky about cases and box art. At the moment I'm swapping out all my DS cases to the American, slimmer boxes. They just seem more neat to me, and the artwork fits just the same. Touch of OCD I think.

Reminds me of this photo, especially since he main character has OCD

I'm actually annoyed Mario Bros select has the red case tomorrow, ****s up my blue Wii U cases it does.

What about the yellow Mario Maker case, hate how it stands out from the rest of the games.

I finally figured out why they're releasing the NX so close to the Wii U. It's nothing to do with competing. It's because they said they would only release one New Super Mario game a platform and they didn't want to wait any longer.

Yeah, I expect a holodeck type thing at least.

though I do remember when I was a kid, seeing or playing on an arcade table that used holograms

and that's why Nintendo have secretly been behind all these "leaks".

How are those Depends working out for you Cidey?

I genuinely hope that nothing true leaks before Nintendo decide to do their official unveiling, whether that's at E3 or before it, for the same reason that ShadowHearth mentioned. That excitement is great!

Of course, we'll all continue to leap on rumours and speculate like crazy in the meantime!

Well the fake controller leaks could help in the long run because everyone will be even more skeptical with any rumours.

If I remember correctly, wasn't the Wii U controller leaked close to the reveal?

I can see a possible console reveal before E3 and the detail and line up at E3.
I'm trying to remember how the PS4 and XBox One were done. Didn't Sony and MS do their reveals at standalone events before E3?

They did. Sony announced in February, MS in May.

Would anyone consider selling their PS4/XBox if the NX is a conventional more powerful console? I think I would be tempted.

Not a hope. I always sort myself with all possible consoles for generation. Got pc, ps4, xbox one, 3ds, ps vita right now. And even if most of them collecting dust for months I will never sell them, because when some specific platform game comes out I just go and buy and don't worry, that I don't have that platform to play it on. For example now everything is collecting dust apart from 3ds. Few months before everything was collecting dust, but ps4 was played all the time. Who knows what I will be playing next month.
The only reason to sell my PS4 or xbox one will be if newer versions comes out, like rumored ps4k or xbox one 1.02.
This year is just weird, so much stuff and hardware rumored for this year, but nothing solid confirmed.
If it all comes out, I will get Nintendo nx as Xmas present and over time get ps4 and xbox one updated. If no nx out, then most likely ps4k.
