I thought I was the only one Will hold off any judgement until I've seen more of the game.

I get what you mean but it's Nintendo so "logically" is always dangerous :p Yeah, Nintendo's new console would only be something to buy if it had a great 1st party line-up from the start. As it is now it looks like a device I'll buy in 2 years. Exactly my thoughts when I saw that poster, too. It's great for Nintendo-only gamers but for others not so much. By the way: Joy-Con controller? Ah, Nintendo...you never fail to disappoint What I forgot to mention: Those Joy-Con controllers (....) look way too small...even with that weird attachment/link-thingy between them (when they're not connected to the screen). You know what would've gotten me excited? If the Switch was called NX and didn't have that second screen. Just the box and the standard looking controller.

Just talked about it with my best mate and we share the same views: good trailer interesting concept, but the portable device looks too big to be "really" portable (not sure how to explain this) assumption: lackluster 1st party launch line-up (Zelda, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon - all ports; and a new Mario) assumption: another Nintendo console with an additional controller (we both hate having more than a dedicated controller) worry: promises of huge 3rd party support; we both know how that went down with the Wii U worry: too much focus on the "switch" aspect which in turn could result in a neglected online infrastructure worry: battery...it needs at least 5 hours of handheld-play wish: great specs We came to the conclusion that this would only be a day-one purchase if we had a lot of money to spare (contrary to what I said in my last post in here). For now I'll wait and see what Nintendo will bring to the table in the coming months.

Good trailer, a little too much real life for my taste, though Nothing really new. The name is catchy, not in the Wii brand and suits the concept. Well done. It's a hybrid, who could've guessed Looks easy enough to use. Looks much more comfortable than the Gamepad, but I think that was to be expected. Not bad, not bad at all. Love the new controller. Looks really comfortable. Not sure about the size for the portable aspect. Looks too big to slide it into your pocket. Like the idea, though. If it comes with a case for the screen + attached controllers I'll be a happy man. NBA (2k, I guess?) and Skyrim. Hopefully an indication for better 3rd party support. New Mario, whose artstyle looks too close to Super Mario 3D World, in my opinion. Will refrain from judging until I've seen more. Great trailer for the first glimpse. Well done, Nintendo. Now the real work begins: We need specs, price point, plans for 1st party support, plans for 3rd party support, online structure and OS. I'm definitely intrigued and interested. If the price will be 299€ max and with a decent launch line-up I will get it day-one.

This cover of Hurt always gets me Haven't seen the latest X-Men and still have to watch the Wolverine movies. This doesn't look too bad.

It was my very first console game so it's probably the nostalgia speaking but Super Mario World is still (with Rayman Legends) my favourite game of all time. I complete it every year during the Christmas Days

Fuck, I missed this completely. Hope you had a great Birthday

I just want a new 2D Super Mario World with HD graphics but close to the old art style. That's all I've ever wanted...

Holy shit, the music is beautiful.

I guess you're right. I would absolutely hate a New Super Mario Bros. NX...

No way we'll see anything other than Zelda and Mario today. I do hope that after the full reveal we'll see at least two new Nintendo IPs that will be released shortly after the console release.

Same here. Would love to have something to look forward to until I get the device in one or two years (unless the NX seems to be amazing and the price will be incredibly low ).

In two hours we know more. Hopefully Can't say I'm excited, but I am interested. Not expecting much as it's only a teaser/trailer (unless I'm mistaken), though. Let's see what Nintendo can do in 3 minutes. Will they answer a lot of questions already, or wait for the full reveal (direct?), or even raise new questions? By the way, Mario sure is creepy...

Two teases, one full reveal. That's how you do it. *wink* Time to figure out when to play RDR again.

Same here. I like a really low TTK that's why I'm looking forward to the IW Hardcore Playlist : peace:

Does it say you get the special beastie? I've completed the demo but didn't get any info on that. Played the Vita version and if it's any indication of what the full game will be I'll most likely buy the PS4 version. There are some odd loading screens/times with the Vita demo.

Shut the fuck up. :p

I find it odd that the download speeds are so inconsistent. Just like H-o-T my speeds range from fast to snail-pace. Sometimes it's annoying when you buy a 2 GB game and it could be ready in 20 minutes but it takes 8 hours On my Vita, though, the download speeds are always the same. Quite fast.

We're not getting anywhere and I will continue to reduce my participation in this thread.

A portable that's more powerful than the Vita that can be plugged in to the TV with a steady first party software output.

Well, I never asked for certain members to be banned from posting in the thread you speak of. I just encouraged them not to visit it because they would most likely not enjoy what was posted there. Huge difference. (and as we all know even that didn't change anything). You know what? I refrain from ignoring members because I like to read and respond to what others have to say. This is a forum where people can discuss things after all. The "discussion" between Jamba and me was done. Ronnie entered with useful information but added bait (yes, I said it). I's not the first time and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Quite frankly, I don't give damn that I'm derailing this thread now. Ronnie's behaviour annoying and clearly something should've been done about it weeks ago. I think this place is better of if Ronnie is banned. And since he's still here I have a right to call him out on every provocation that has no reason to be in this thread. I've reported numerous posts but sometimes I want to post something "publicly" about this. And this is one of those times. Edit: And adding to the following: Why am I the only one being told to resist the urge? Why don't you tell Ronnie to resist the urge to post something completely irrelevant to what was being talked about?

Super Smash Bros. Melee - Absolutely no contest. So much of my teenage years have been spent with this game. My mates and I were addicted to it. Super Mario Kart - One of the first console games I've owned. Nostalgia makes this my most favourite Kart. Don't have a favourite Mario Party installment.

You know, the first sentence was more than enough. The rest is your usual, petty point-scoring. Can't believe you're still allowed to post in here.

Since I was part of the problem I can tell you: It was down for aprox 2 minutes, so nothing really
