Oh Yeah! Nintendo Switch looks awesome. I will positively consider this. Plus, Skyrim is on it. It's a hybrid. Guys, I am so happy right now.

It's here:

Nintendo Switch

Did I just see Skyrim on a Nintendo console!?!?
Also Splatoon and a new Mario on the NX Switch confirmed...

But it seems Eurogamer was right all along...

I liked the eporst incentive with the Splatoon arena trailer, maybe they will try to recognize competitive scenes now ?
So maybe that's a chance do Smash to grow.
No Smash related images, but we got a probably new Mario and the Wii U games as Splatoon and MK8 working on the system. Nice, now I feel that the Wii U is even more wasted, because someone who doesn't had a Wii U will play all the games into a better console.

Waiting for more info, I'm positive for Nintendo as a company, but I disliked because I'm not into portable gaming.
The name is OK. That's really important in the industry, to have a good name. And Switch sounds fine and maybe means something that they are in need.

So it's a portable console with the ability to play consoles games (including multiplayer) on the go.

This is a niche that could work.

I hope it has enough power. Holy **** though the real surprise is Skyrim.

Holy ****, it's got third party support and Bethsheeds is not one to fiddle around with subpar systems.

Nintendo should make cool sounding names.

not impressed at all by the home version of the games. It looks like Wii U. I guess maybe slightly better cos frames or something but meh.

Won't be surprised if it flops too....but better than Wii U would still be fine.

Bethesda does really surprise me.

I think I'm being harsh on it right now.

I just assumed that to be Splatoon Wii U and Mario Kart WII U ported over.

But that's right King Boo wasn't in Mario Kart Wii U.

The new 3D Mario looks amazing. Hybrid of 3D World/Mario 64. Also a fiesta level that actually looks populated, so we're getting more original worlds with possibly more characters? Hope it has multiple playable characters.

Also Mario Kart 8 HD ReMIX.

Still gonna need to see more games but it's got potential.

So games that were confirmed from the trailer...

BoTW (Obviously knew this well in advance)
The game the guy was playing on the plane. Looked sorta like Elder Scrolls or something
Mario Kart 8 Port with additional content?
Some NBA shiz
New 3D Mario that thankfully isn't another Galaxy game
Splatoon Port or Splatoon 2

So the NX is actually Nintendo Switch? Pleasantly surprised it wasn't named Wii 3 or something. Hopefully it will not confuse the general population like Wii U did.

I am definitely getting it for sure.

I guess the toaster rumors were true after all.
SEE I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU ALL


Was totally blown away. Expected no more than BoTW

GOt awesome looks at the gimmick, extra controllers, SKYRIM, 3D mario, and 3rd party support.

Plus Ports or whatever the hell those 2 were.

400/10 would get hyped again

also this

I am blown away. Like, completely blown away. This is the most innovative thing I've seen in a while.

Wow. 3D Mario, Splatoon, NBA, Zelda, Skyrim (?), MK8. Damn, that's a great lineup too.

The Switch really just is a regular console that you can play on a tablet.

That alone is better than the Wii U which was just a console DS.

I'm excited.

Also here's a list of developers working on NX titles right now.

I definitely liked what I saw. It's a great concept that can hopefully go a long way.

The've got Bethesda on board, so hopefully 3rd party support will be solid. 1st party games should be strong as always.

... But man I hope the battery life doesn't suck.

Smash Switch.

Please don't call it that.

Just a thought.
Super Smash Bros for Nintendo Switch.

Granted if it is a port which I almost think it will definitely be with that Splatoon game shown off.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

in my opinion this console's gimmick is leaps and bounds ahead of Wii U

now I can literally game anywhere

thank you mr. miyamoto

also Mario Kart 8.5 looks pretty dope, that's a day 1 purchase (especially if we get another crossover)

Seeing Bethesda supporting it with Skyrim got me hyped. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come regarding third party support.

I would've went with a different name, but at least it avoids the Wii branding issue.

As for the console itself, it's definitely an interesting idea and I think it has a lot of potential, but I still want to see more of it. The game lineup looks good as we have a new 3D Mario, a new (port?) Mario Kart, Skyrim, Zelda, and Splatoon, and we can expect even more that's likely to join that with the great line-up of developers behind it. It's going to be a great way to push the console and I'm already excited to see all of these games in action. Skyrim and the new Mario Kart in particular makes me happy since Bethesda tends to be pretty cautious when it comes to Nintendo and I never got a chance to play Skyrim, and the latter because King Boo implies a different roster for the game regardless of it being a port or not. Additionally, the line-up of developers they have for the console is very promising,

All in all, I'm pleasantly happy with the news, I want to hear more to get a better feel of the console, but it's left a great impression on me nonetheless, I look forward to hearing more about it in the future.

Nintendo Switch, eh? That seems interesting.

The third-party companies on board is really something.

Okay, but if it's a Mario Kart 8.5? Will Link, Villager, and Isabelle be back? Will they be joined by more characters from outside of the Mario franchise?

I need more information now. About everything.

I'm starting to get more excited though.

Bloodborne is coming to the Switch, boys.

No, but I'm interested in the Switch. I wonder how long the battery life is going to be because I don't see myself playing the home console that often, though.
