I doubt it would ever happen but a Pokemon MMO would be insane. Look how insanely popular Pokemon Go is/was.

I just wish it was more powerful. The fact that wiiu was designed to compete with ps3 and 360 is what killed it. It needed to be closer to ps4 and one. And now this is going to get smashed by pro and scorpio. I fear another cycle of minimal 3rd party support.

demand will only go up from here though with the rise of HDR and 4K.
|
I would be hyped for the Switch if it was 4k, even if it was only upscaling to 4k and not native.

I dunno, 4k is awfully pretty. Consoles that can take advantage of it are cheaper than PCs. Hot Shiny Newness is a big drawing factor to idiots in the market, myself included.
|
4k will move some units, I'm just not convinced it will move enough numbers that it will limit not 4k anytime in the next 5-7 years.
|
I mean, people bought the Wii in droves and it didn't even support HD.
4k and HDR don't seem to be big deals yet, its not going to hurt the launch. There were rumours that 4k will be supported for Netflix and shit too, so 4k output is possible. I mean, I'm getting a PS4 Pro, but I'm not getting a 4k TV in the next 5 years. Power up my VR. |
Unlike the Wii U, Nintendo won't be selling the Switch at a loss although at the moment haven't committed to a final price for the console according to a Wall Street Journal source with direct ties to the company.

Seems overkill to have the chipset for a pixel c thatdoes 2560x1800 when it only does 720p in portable mode.

The stuff about the screen makes sense considering Nintendo did tease at the idea of making digital 3DS and Wii U compatible for the Switch at some point. Some of those games made use of touch controls so it would make sense the Switch screen had some form of it.
|
Yeah, and a Mario Maker port has been rumoured since the start alongside MK, Splaoon and Smash.
Other report today says it uses a USB Type-C port to charge, which would be fantastic. Current prototype charge from the bottom though, so can't be used at the same time as the kickstand. Hopefully they sort that out. |
The video had splatoon being played on the competitive controller. I could see them removing the spawn screen touch thing. Khuntry's gamepad broke and it rendered Maker and Splatoon dead. They need to offer more ways to make these games work.
|
Totally. Like, you should be able to make Mario Maker levels on Pro pad. Sure, that would be the worst way to do it, but the lack of options on the Wii U sometimes was infuriating, especially if something broke.
|
Nintendo not ruling out VR support for the Switch according to president Tatsumi Kimishima although wouldn't happen any time soon since they feel VR tech at the moment doesn't fit with the type of games they like or would make.

Being speculated/rumored Nintendo gave Nvidia a lot of control over the development of the Switch in regards to manufacturing and designs unlike how past consoles were handled.
Nvidia themselves revealed they have been working on the Switch for around two years and teased at having similar roles for future Nintendo consoles at least for the next two decades. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1312746 |

That would be an awesome price point. |
So we're all getting one.
|
Fuck it at that price I'll buy two
|
Nintendo is pricing this in such a way that it'll get in as many homes as possible.
Ironbite-awesome. |
Price-wise, would be about the same to the Wii U's launch in the US based on those estimates but the big advantage of extra controllers being a lot cheaper to buy. Same for Switch games being cheaper by around $10 if those game price estimates stay the same here.
|
A rare case of a console reveal where everything so far sounds great.
|
Well if it's that price range I might get one after all.
In response to whoever said the charge plug is blocked when the kickstand is in use I have an idea for that. They should split it into 2 kickstands spaced further out to the sides. Removes charge port obstruction and adds stability at same time. |

They probably mean FIFA or Madden.

Hell, I could go for some portable Ultimate Team.

So from what the new things people are saying, everything is still sounding good so hope these new ones are true too:
Splatoon packed in in deluxe model at launch 3D Mario Switch at launch Skyrim at launch MK8 within 3 months of launch and will feature tons of exclusive content including brand new tracks, new playable characters, and a new-and-improved battle mode. That’s right, Nintendo listened to everyone’s criticisms about Mario Kart 8’s battle mode. Zelda several months after launch Smash 4 at some point not at launch |

As long as it's worth the wait
|
Hot damn at an updated MK8 and Smash can't even get any better so I wanna see that.
I'm also gonna assume Splatoon will drop the gamepad bullshit. I really need that to go. |
