Oh man I wonder if you can buy cheapy cartridges that you can then download a bunch of games onto :allears:

They call those things micro SD cards. They are already supported on Nintendo's last handheld system the 3DS. :eng101:

Have you heard of this new technology called "SD cards"?

Even with a digital option, some people aren't happy unless they have a plastic box on the shelf that contains a proprietary memory card.

Any news on friend codes?

Lol if you think that Nintendo isn't going to support Wiimotes and Wii U Pro controllers on this thing.

Seriously.


Plus, isn't that a bottom-of-wiimote/ NES MINI port on the back of the thing?

How about user replaceable batteries for the main screen and each of the two little controllers? HA HA HA probably not, have fun when leaving it plugged into your TV most of the time means you get 50% run time off the battery inside six months.
weirdly enough even cell phones have been going back to user replaceable batteries now, at least if you're not stuck in Genius land

I guess people finally bitched enough

I'm just going to wait until Game Explain does a 2 hour analysis of the video and tells me what I just saw. Like was that new Mario Kart footage, or just something from MK8?

I am buying this poo poo on day 1 because I love Nintendo games, but I feel like it was a mistake to make a console with another screen to up the cost. Even if it replaces the handheld line.

If I ever buy this, I will probably never use the portability function because I am not confident in its battery life and I rarely go out on my own time anyway. Of course, the latter is expected, given I'm posting here.

i honestly cant believe they're going back to the Mario 64/Galaxy style Mario games, i thought they'd stick with 3D Mario World since their whole push was to keep making Mario more and more accessible to all gamers
