Last week when the video came out I excitedly texted my girlfriend "The Nintendo Switch!". She didn't realize I was talking about a console, and thought I was referring to some kind of ruse, ie "they pulled the ol' Nintendo Switch!"

If I recall correctly, Nintendo itself recognized that terrible title droughts after release were a huge problem for the Wii U and the 3DS. I'd bet that they want to reassure people that the title drought won't happen by having a launch lineup and some post release games absolutely nailed down.

Wouldn't be surprised if that presentation has titles with (for the most part) rock solid release dates leading all the way up to August or something, with E3 revealing the rest of the Year 1 Lineup.

I've never even seen a Wii U in person and the only games for it I can name are Splatoon, Smash Bros., and Mario Maker, so I'm completely okay with the Switch's entire library being Wii U ports/remasters.

those are all good and also maybe you might like

$300 for a system at the end of it's life and with a catalog of games I have limited interest in may be easy, I guess.

Easier still to just wait and hope for remasters of the best of that system's games on a platform I'm intrigued enough by to want to purchase.

Wonderful 101 wont ever get a remaster. Wonderful 101 is worth 300 dollars.

I dunno, I feel it'll be a Bayo 2 scenario and they'll pack in a The Wonderful 101 port with The Wonderful 102.

This is part of why I've held off on the Wii U since the NX was first rumored. Playing all of the titles I've missed out on over the last 3-4 years is pretty exciting. Given the U's sales, I imagine there are plenty of folks like me.

Please be excited.



When the messaging and name of the console is quite clearly "can be both handheld and home console", releasing a handheld only edition at launch would be super duper dumb.

A Switch you can't switch.

Especially when you are desperately trying to reclaim a market that is flooded with phones and tablets. Nintendo needs to 100% market the switch as a console and leave no way for people to confuse this as another tablet accessory for the Wii or WiiU.

Umm... my sources say Retro is indeed working on a video game... it's a new video game and not a old video game...

No, it's NOT diddy kong racing 2 like you all believed... it's entirely new video game!

So the Tegra X1 development board supports:

  • 802.11ac Wifi
  • USB 3.0 Type A
  • M.2 Key E
  • PCI-E x4
  • Gigabit Ethernet

This isn't the Switch development board obviously but I can't imagine it would be all that different

I'm hoping Nintendo at least keeps the AC wifi but who knows
