Mother 2 was great, though

Mother 3 was a'ight

What would you like Nintendo to do, Droford?

Go under

I'd like Nintendo to only develop software.

Ask again in 15 years. Nintendo have already said that they make more money on Wii U games and hardware than they would if they were a best seller on PS4. Consoles are on the downswing in terms of sales, that's why mobile is the only one worth them dipping their toe into.

Even with mobile, based on analyst predictions, Super Mario Run made $30 million on iPhone in 2 and a half weeks. Apple will take their cut on top of that. Mario Maker 3DS brought in that much revenue in Japan alone only not counting those that bought on the eShop.

Nintendo is a failure. Shut up.

I'm not saying they are a failure I just rather not pay for a Nintendo console and another system on top of that.

It's nice to want things.

Just let me answer Kalyx's question in peace :(

For those in Europe, pre-orders for the system are now available while according to a leak from Gamestop, North American pre-orders will go live on January 14th.

Games for other systems. Stop making stupid consoles.

Eh, we've been able to pre order at placeholder prices for months now.

I'm pretty sure Droford doesn't care if Nintendo leaves money on the table.

So the Zelda release thing is weird.

It might be delayed in Europe to translate it, but still hit launch in US and Japan.

It's because you guys have weird slang like 'Bloody hell', 'avada kedavra' and 'expelliarmus'

I'm sure that They can make lots of money selling 30+ year old consoles and stupid "collectible" figurines

They can call the figures for the switch switcheroos

They're already called Amiibos

You know they'll sell new ones

Yes, new series in a line of toys called Amiibos.

Swithermiibos

Do you want them to make games for consoles you own? Are you consistent about exclusive first party games or you just really want Zelda on a PS4/Xbox?

I want SFV on Xbox but it is what it is.

Accessory maker Hyperkin revealed several Switch accessories during CES 2017 with one being a USB-C charging cable for the system.

The developer of Mother 3 was announced to be appearing at next week's Switch event according to reports.

According to rumors going around the net, Nintendo and other studios are currently in the process of determine the actual launch lineup for the console. Development on almost all the major Switch games are practically done by now.

Those treehouse things stress me out because they always seem like something I'm being left out of, like everyone's invited to play in the tree house but I don't get to go in, probably because they happen when people are normally at work.

Suda 51 recently teased he wants to make a "No More Heroes"-like defining game for the Switch.

Some Hori official accessories got leaked, including a USB Ethernet adaptor and a pro controller that looks like it has a PS4 like share button on it and this bad boy

If that's coming out, I'm thinking Tekken 7 or MvC Infinite gets confirmed for the Switch on Friday. I can't see it being for Smash.

Super Mario Frost Land sounds like the logical sequel to Super Mario Sunshine

Injustice 2 might get confirmed for switch as well if not already.

I could get behind an ice themed Mario game. Ice always ups the platforming difficulty and leads to excellent aha moments in Mario games. Plus they could put an emphasis on the classic fire flower power up. I'm down.

Oh good call, I forgot about that game entirely.

Shovel Knight was announced to be getting ported to the Switch along with a few other platforms.

Super Mario Frozen

MAMMA MIA let it go.

Time for a nap and then to watch the stream!

What time does it start?

An hour and 15 minutes from this post.

www.twitch.tv/easyallies are live for reactions and shit.

Ono is at the event. There's a weird rumor flying around that Ultra Street Fighter 2 is a thing. I don't buy it.

Nintendo has gone bananas. There's a DJ, a laser and light show going off right now and a giant stage. I've not seen Nintendo do an event like this in goddamn years.

Already better than the last time they got a DJ for an event:

https://i.makeagif.com/media/12-30-2014/nZujU8.gif

this better be good

Countdown!

I think this has the potential to be the best console reveal ever with this setup, or the biggest disappointment. There's not going to be an inbetween.

Launching worldwide March 3rd!

300 USD

Doesn't look like there's going to be 2 SKUs

march 3rd baby

"Online services"

Oh shit, paid service from fall 2017 like PS+ and XBL... Ouch.

paid online service..

NO REGION LOCK!

no region locking nice

That swagger with the click

Think this will announce the share button with the controller talk.

"We put a handle on the Gamecube...."

$300 is pretty good for a price.

Not surprised they finally joined Sony and Microsoft in putting online services behind a paywall. Ever since Microsoft revealed they make over $1 billion just from Xbox Live alone each year, was a matter of time before the others joined.

Bit dry, but I'm glad they're getting this out of the way now. Finish with games.

That Mario Kart had a real battle mode!!

Touchscreen confirmed.

8 console local multiplayer is pretty good.

I dig the tabletop mode...

8 Switch LAN? sweet

Did he also briefly mention touchscreen?

I=m going to need that Pro controller. That holder is tiny

Looks a lot smaller than I thought from the vid

Ja

yay amiibo support, my hundreds of dollars are not obsolete

Amiibo!

Capture button!

JOYCON JOYCON JOYCON

sharing the joy lol

Sharing the joy

lmao

Oh my, things are heating up

Can't stop noticing how tiny the d-pad is.

they are so pretty

BLUE! I NEEDS IT

Oh damn, this is pretty cool. IR Camera stuff

This is getting me hyped. God dammit I wasn't going to buy one day 1...

Dude. HD Rumble. Get 5!

"These guys are sharing the Joy right now"

Oh, this is the Wii Sports controller demo game basically

I hope there's a WarioWare game at launch, those games are perfect to show off cool stuff like this while being super fun...

For real. Wii U was missing it badly and Game & Wario was just OK.

Literally thought that was going to be what they were showing off for the party game before the different name.

Parties AND after-parties

But don't you dare bring it to a pre-party

1-2 Switch not packed in the box? Seems like a mistake.

This boxing game looks like the stuff from Super Monkey Ball's boxing mini-game with the extending gloves.

Arms looks fucking sweet

Yeah that 1-2 Switch thing seems like it's perfectly suited to be packaged with the console

Arms looks cool

Makes me really think they need Rocket League to come out for this console as well

Think the worries about the power were unfounded. Running at 60fps, Arms looks great graphically.

Okay let's see some like, Skyrim now...

I'll settle for Splatoon :love:

Sequel rather than port. Fuck yes.

Shit yeah, a sequel even!

Pro ctonroller, fuck yes. No gyro for this guy.

Oh good, the nonchalant mention of the Pro Controller haha

lmao holy shit this presenter

OPEN WORLD MARIO ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GUYS

Mario being set in a real life type setting feels weird.

GUYS THIS THING

HATS

THEY ALL HAVE HATS

Hats are exclusive to Nintendo Switch.
