Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Only slight worry is that mario had a sunshine vibe to it!! Edited October 20, 2016 by dazzybee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 Wait a mo' do we know if the 'tablet' has a touch screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 Cartridges!? Portable device. A portable device with optical media is just liable to break on the first speedbump you go over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 They didn't show any touchscreen elements but there probably is. Yeah @dazzybee, that was my worry about Mario too. Sure I can see a tightrope in the town. Joy-Con is stupid. Why is it called that and not just the Switch controller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 it looks like it's fully portable rather than you can only play parts of games on the go, so that's a big bonus straight away. The different control methods all seem really good. Hoping now we'll see a flood of game reveals from the 3rd party publishers. At the moment I'm all over it until I see EA reveal Fifa 17 "LEGACY" Edition There was no mention of android compatibility? But at this point it looks like a monster. Interested to find out what Nvidia chips are being used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 List of third party developers that are on board Konami? Well, considering they've just got one game in development right now, it seems Metal Gear Survive is confirmed. And Starbreeze... make's me hope they'll bring out Payday 2... or maybe even PD3! Seriously though, I'm surprised there's no date for the full annoucement. This is just a teaser.

Posted October 20, 2016 Mario didn't wow me. No motion controls? What about Splatoon? And when you are holding a single Joy-Con controller on it's side... Shoulder button? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 Fan-f-ing-tastic. I'm also relieved the online reaction seems to be extremely positive. Phew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 If Nintendo did indeed hold back the reveal because there were issues with Mario should we thus expect more details quite soon because unless the issues with Mario were that they hadn't made the game there wasn't really much in that trailer that would suggest they need to hold back!

Posted October 20, 2016 ...why?! They could be motion controlled and put to use independantly too. I guess the could throw in a "bridge" to join them together or something too... roll on September. I thought as much we were right, dazzy. Wiimote + nunchuk style play. Hook them on to a bridge for conventional control pad style play. And also hook them back onto the screen for conventional control pad style play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Joy-Con is stupid. Why is it called that and not just the Switch controller? Because Japan. Take English words, shorten them, hey-presto, maybe say them twice, you have a trademark. If Nintendo did indeed hold back the reveal because there were issues with Mario should we thus expect more details quite soon because unless the issues with Mario were that they hadn't made the game there wasn't really much in that trailer that would suggest they need to hold back! I dunno that first area looked barren af :p I imagine they just about squeezed that footage out. Edited October 20, 2016 by Shorty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 I like that all of the parts of it are matte. It'll be interesting to see the breakdown of the processor - Nvidia mentions it's a custom Tegra processor so hopefully it's the more powerful variation that DF theorised when the Eurogamer leak happened.

Posted October 20, 2016 Oh, and that Mario game looks brilliant! No gimmicks, no top-down camera that makes the game feel like Sonic 3D Blast... Just a normal 3D Mario game. FINALLY, only took them 20 years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 On Splatoon, the map shown is a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 I think this will go gangbusters in Japan. Am I right in saying no kids were in that trailer. Quite the shift for Nintendo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 Already said it but it looks amazing. Basically a home console but can be taken on the move. Do people think that this will be the end of "handheld type" games? I'm thinking of games like Link Between Worlds etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking of games like Link Between Worlds etc etc. I think as long as Nintendo see that games like that still work on the big screen for indies then we should hopefully still get them. I wouldn't want to lose them in this transition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2016 just watched it again. It seems like you can't use the screen without the controllers, so there is a question mark over touch screen capabilities. Do the controllers have motion capabilities? Couldn't really tell from the video. When out and about do they Bluetooth to each other or is it all done via wifi?

Posted October 20, 2016 237,000 tweets about the Nintendo Switch. Doing a great job of marketing already, hope they can keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 That looks amazing, fecking amazing. Design wise its the best looking piece of tech Nintendo have produced. When the controllers are used seperatly does it work like a Wii? Any sensor on the tablet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
