The presentation opens. A hunched figure in a concealing black robe lurches to the podium. There's a brief pause, then the lights go out and the dark figure begins to cackle. A suseruss of anxious murmurs spreads through the crowd.

"Oh god," a man cries. "It's not Nintendo Switch, it's Nintendo's witch!"

A blaze of fire lights the auditorium in which throws back her Hood. She points at the man in the crowd and he is instantly turned into a Toad. The doors to the room lock as the Nintendo Witches broom appears in front of her. She grabs on and takes flight. Green smoke and orange fire pop and flare. Outside of the room it's hard to hear the screams, but YouTube captures all of this pretty well. 3.5/5

preorder 10 of them.

It would be really cool if Iwata recorded a message to be played at this presentation since I'm sure he had a hand in the creation of the Switch :unsmith:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry but there is no new console. Can't you see, the Switch was inside all of you all along. Ha ha, no, I'm sorry, the Nintendo Switch is very real. It is also inside of you. Please remove Link's Master scalpel and the Dr. Mario surgical gloves from your press kits. There should be a bulge on the right side of your abdomen. Start the incision there."

Games "journalist": "Excuse me, the bulge is on the left side of my abdomen."

Iwata: "Ooh, I think I know who got the lucky Zelda Gold switch."

GJ: "Wait, I thought this was a pre-recorded video?"

Iwata: *maniacal laughter*

The ravening crowd descends upon Game Journalist and begins slicing him open, chanting "Switch Switch Switch"

Posting my dream to quote when it comes true:

Zelda at launch.
3d Mario at launch, multi-player including Toad and Peach again.
Monster Hunter XX port by summer.
Mario Kart Switched by summer.
Splatoon: Fresh Edition.
Metroid in development.
Hyrule Warriors Hero of Legends edition.
Donkey Kong Country: Switch Swap.
Animal Crossing: Citizen Switch in 2017.
Pokémon Stars in fall.

That's all, should be easy, make it happen Nintendo.

This is pretty much my "mash pre-order button" list, too. If I had to focus it down a little more, it would be Zelda at launch, Monster Hunter XX HD sometime, and Splatoon at launch (to get my girlfriend on board). I'd appreciate some kind of decent racing game at launch, but I'd prefer it not be a port of Mario Kart 8, because I have played enough of that on Wii U.

Thats an issue with reusing the same big name characters so much. When you make your ghostbusting game about luigi it definitely makes sales go up but also causes backlash from people who think they are missing out on "proper" sequels. Star fox adventures and MPFF are other examples.

But of course luigi was perfect for that game as a character so gently caress haters

That confirms L and R buttons for the Joy-Cons, I guess. Looks like either the stick or the face buttons will be awkward to reach, though

What the gently caress? Who thought it would be a good idea to put the face buttons in the middle like that? Who designed either of these things?

well why not

i'm probably gonna be visiting home in Australia from the UK in early march so the sooner the better. Anxious to see what region locking happens (hopefully zero).

I wonder if they'll be including any new built-in games. It'd be cool if there was a title that every switch user had preloaded out of the box.

Dying to play splatoon, zelda and bayonetta. tonight can't come soon enough.
