MARIO SANDBOX!

Nintendo finally following Valve's lead

Dammit, where's the launch shizz

MONOLITH

XENOBLADE

Think the worry about ports is unfounded. They've got sequels rather than Wii U games.

Koei Tecmo, time for some Dynasty

3 bangers in a row keep it coming

Fire Emblem Muso. Ahahaha, fuck yes.

c'mon 3rd party yissssssss

Dragon Quest X, XI and Heroes 1&2. Now Atlus remake in Unreal Engine 4

Old school Square RPG

Octopath Traveller... Weird

weird Square game but I'm excited for it

Is the Shin Megami series the one that is usually on Nintendo handhelds for Atlus stuff?

YAKUZA?!?!

yea

Aw, it's nothing.

Todd Howard with Skyrim

Skyrim really is coming to the Switch after all.

SKYRIM SWITCH!

SUDA LETS FUCKING GO

:D Suda. Really hope its a new No More Heroes game or something similar.

:lol: at the start of his speech.

NO MORE HEROES 3 AIJFHAJKEFHJKADFHJKAFHJKEAFJK

this translator holy shit

Pro Wrestling No More Heroes

"I gave my first born the middle name Luigi, because he is weak and scared"

FIFA, no duhs

lol didn't the Luigi VA just die like yesterday too RIP

As long as FIFA isn't one of those Legacy type things, already a huge improvement over what the Wii U got for EA sports support.

EA suxx and all but this bodes well for Nintendo long-term if they are getting back in the conversation on these franchises that haven't been around for a while on their consoles

Dude has been talking for 45 minutes "Time to end my portion..."

Epic sax

Ultra Street Fighter 2 was real?! AND JUST IN A MONTAGE??!

Was that F-Zero or Fast Racing League shown very quickly?

BRO HE WAS KILLIN' IT

Fast Racing League.

Also, a Bomberman was shown in there.

I like Mario

Going with just one model is a really good idea after how badly they got burned with the Wii U.

There's two colour options though. I'm going neon.

I love Miyamoto

Yeah just for colors similar to the Gamecube for its launch but not the Standard/Deluxe route went with the Wii U.

NAKED BATHING ZELDA

Now that's ending on a goddamn crunch. Good fucking god that trailer.

well I am sufficiently hyped

can't wait to go to the event in Toronto Jan 28th and get my hands on one of these bad boys

Launch title for Zelda means money. Finally Nintendo learned.

That zelda trailer

Amazon UK pre-orders going live in 2 hours. Not sleeping yet then

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe got announced VIA PRESS RELEASE

Turns out the racing game wasn't F-Zero nor Fast Racing but a new game called Redout by Nicalis studio.

Bomberman R is also real

Whoa damn that Zelda trailer looked "stunning" visual wise.......

Nintendos online service will have a free NES or SNES game with online play added every month

@Hasney anywhere I can find preorder info for Canada? Not sure where to look

English Zelda Trailer

I'm just refreshing UK sites manually. Gamestop in the US say pre-orders open tomorrow.

ahh yep just checked EBGames.ca, 9am here. Perfect, just in time to settle in at the office and get ready for it

Walmart pre-orders are up in the US

The exclusive deals part sounds interesting since it might mean Nintendo is going to hold a lot more sales and/or do something similar with Microsoft's Deals With Gold.

The Wii U was already a huge improvement compared to the Wii for digital sales but now they could have a Sony-like PS+ jump in sales and discounts with the Switch.

Pretty pricey overall for extra controllers.

Ordered a neon one now. UI looks nice.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/hardware/.../img/img07.jpg

Where did you pre-order from and how much were you charged?

I've got an order with amazon.co.uk and game.co.uk to play it safe. £279.99

Although not charged yet. Will be charged when it ships.

Amazon don't seem to have any games to pre-order, do they?

Mario and Zelda look great obviously, but maaaaaaan is that launch lineup disappointing. I mean I like a handful of games on the launch list, but they are games that already have iterations elsewhere. Puyo Puyo Tetris is fucking great, and I think that is a great choice for a portable game, but I already imported it for Vita long ago. Zelda will straight make up for everything though when it comes to sales. I am just super disappointed they didn't get more first party games ready for launch.

I will try and reserve my judgment on the Joy-Con controllers for now, but I'm just not sold on them currently based on the demos they showed. Arms looks like a game most people will just flail in, and 1, 2 Switch looks like a complete novelty game that will last for one party session. I didn't expect HD Rumble to be the thing they spent so much time on.

1-2-Switch stole the show :roll:

Personally getting at launch:

Zelda
Bomberman
Puyo Puyo Tetris

Then it's only a month to wait for Mario Kart and other smaller games, Splatoon and E3 for the rest of the holiday line up... And Mario. Even without another console, that would be fine.

Nah, Europe is yet to confirm the exact line up for us

www.twitch.tv/nintendo showing off some games.

Shame the hotter Treehouse girl got fired.

Game montage with no sound. Smooth move Nintendo. Arms time.

Oh the grey haired bird is pretty nice.

ARMS looks fucking sweet. It's not just motion, has controller support too.

It looks cool and I would buy if it didn't have such an awful name :roll:

:wtf:

Wii?

Switch Destor Switch.

So Console and Breath of the Wild looks like for me. Then Skyrim which I hope gets mod support on the Switch.

"ARMS"

I gotcha. Thats also silly but I understand what you mean now.

Bomberman on the stream now. Fuck yeah.

"Big Vic" AKA "Savio" chiming in on names here.

Bomberman looks like the standard fun, but man, Konami really shat this one out.

Thank you, #BROKEN Hasney.

Obviously I was trolling though.

The dock costs $100 if you wanted to be able to hook it up to multiple tvs.

I know, I wasn't being serious either brah

So the resellers snap up all the presales and drive the price up and none of the launch games besides Zelda sell well

Gonna be a massive pile of failure

I promise the price doesnt move.


Only zelda will sell well though, yes.

Gonna get my zelda on Wii U :cool:

Droford the negative nancy. "Shocking".

Preordered my console and Zelda today. Didn't get the Master Edition though :( But oh well.

I had a WiiU Zelda preordered already that I ended up cancelling. If I'm going to get the Switch, the only thing worth playing early on will be Zelda so no point in not getting it/getting it for WiiU.

RIP WiiU you were greatly misunderstood

Feel like there's a lot of bad news out there, but nothing that's a dealbreaker.

Weirdly, the joycon grip doesn't charge controllers. You need a separate charging one to do that ($30), so the joycons only charge attached to the tablet in the dock. 20 hour battery life though anyway.

Pro controller is $70. Why the fuck they would put NFC in it for Amiibos and increase the price is beyond me

Street Fighter 2 is $40

FIFA is a port of the 360 version

The "one free NES or SNES game a month" with the paid online is a rental. You lose access after the month is up.

Snipperclips is $20 and really fun looking though.

http://gifyu.com/images/lol482c5.gif

Isn't the grip just a shell for the joy-cons?

Controller prices would feel a lot more comfortable if they were about $20 cheaper.

:lol: EA. Knew there had to be a catch with the FIFA announcement considering the low key vibe the presenter was giving for it.
