Nintendo are the ones responsible that make other console makers better off because they basically invented everything interesting so far about controller input, and they work off that.

What is their last innovation that was actually widely adopted? the joystick?

I'm pretty behind on switch news and didn't see it in the OP, Whats the word on Wii U and Wii Backward compatibility? Obviously it doesn't use discs but will digital copies work? I skipped Wii U so this would be a big selling point for me.

Havent Zelda games had intentional combat pauses for impact since Ocarina of Time

as far as stuttering goes, the off-screen footage I've seen has been smooth as butter, but this is a series where one of its most beloved games (OOT) runs at like 12 fps on N64, so. it's certainly not going to be as bad as that. well, the Wii U version might be, lol

Ocarina was 20fps

otherwise yeah

The other big companies have both adopted touch screens and motions controls of some kind.

Nothing. If GC VC turns out to be a thing, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Wii VC as well since the Joy-Cons could easily emulate Wiimotes.

Actually, does the Switch support Wiimotes? I could have sworn I saw a promotional photo last night during the presentation with someone playing a one of the games with a Wiimote.

Motion-controls in the form of gyroscope (which was included in the wiimotion plus) is an industry standard now.

Playing Street Fighter on the Joycon d-pad seems like it would a horrible idea. I'm trying to imagine pulling off Zangief's spinning piledriver on that thing and :gonk:

Wait......that cross is an actual d-pad? I thought it was like a logo or something. How big is it?

From the looks of it, expect that best games to get definitive editions, like the Mario kart 8 coming out shortly.

That said. WiiU's might get cheap and are really great.

Any announcements on how virtual console titles will work? Today you get a significant discount if you have already purchased a NES/SNES game for the Wii and want to play it in the Wii U. Should we assume they might do the same Wii U -> Switch?

No, I meant the face buttons that are used as directional buttons when you've got the joycons hooked up to the dock thing. The tiny buttons on the joycons are the plus and minus buttons.
