There's nothing in the trailer backing up the idea that this thing will have a touch screen. Literally no one touched the screen except in passing to grab that drat thing.

If I was that woman playing Mario and my friends waved at me and were like come hang out I would close the blinds and play more Mario on my own.

Loved how there were no kids in the advert! Nintendo is for grown ups only now, as it should be.

I know it was dumb to hear them talk about cartridges and expect old-school styled stuff, but the Switch games look more like SD cards/DS games than true cartridges. It doesn't really matter, just a bit disappointing :sigh:

That's a pretty big oversight on Nintendo's part, IMO, for forgetting to showcase such an important part of the system like the touchscreen.

Real talk nintendo polishes the poo poo out of their games no matter what engine they're using. Thats one of the main reasons Wii Games published by nintendo looked great but everyone else's looks like horseshit.

I was going to say it looked very similar to Super Mario 3D World, but you're right. The shader work here bears a much bigger resemblance to Mario Kart 8.

It the cartridge isn't bigger than the console's controller, it's not a True Cartridge obviously.

My concern is that if this replaces Nintendo's portable niche as well (which is a big if), the graphical requirements and thus development costs (and likely prices) are going to balloon. It makes the market less friendly to smaller developers. Right now the 3DS gets a lot of support partially because they don't have to spend nearly as much on high quality, high resolution assets.

They do, but even other first party nintendo games on WiiU can't hold a candle to Mario Kart 8. Its kinda sad they did so great on that one and then couldn't keep up the same graphical standard on other WiiU games. But they did look polished at least.

The real time lighting in MK8 is just unreal.

New Super Mario 3D World has multi and it looks like pretty much the same game so I don't know why it wouldn't.

Its basically NSM3DW2

I have my doubts

-Camera is much lower and following Mario like in 64/Sunshine
-Has the triple jump from both of those games
-Has a HP Refresh icon like those games

I just hope it has multiple characters at the very least. I wanna play as my man Toad

theres a pastebin of specs going around that claims to be from nintendo's dev portal that proves what we already know which is that the Switch is underpowered

but it apparently supports 4k??? so there's that. i seriously doubt that Nintendo gives a gently caress about 4K though

I'd guess the successor to the 3DS was going to be 720p anyway.

Isn't MK8 locked at 720p at 30fps?
