True, but I also think people say Ethernet is a bigger deal than it is.
I straight up don't know where the wall ethernet jacks are in my house. I don't even know if they are connected, and God knows if I have one where I have my TV hooked up.
That's not saying Wi-Fi is better, but it's infinitely more convenient

It depends on how you define convenience. I can think of maybe 3 devices I have that actually take advantage of the extra performance of wired. My NAS, PC and Steam Link. The other stuff I have like printers, consoles and media streaming boxes would be fine on WiFi. Even if I was hammering Netflix over WiFi my internet connection would struggle before my WiFi would. So if I didn't have Ethernet cables through the walls then for most things it wouldn't really matter and WiFi would be easier.
But I do have Ethernet through the walls. Because of that it's easier to just plug in a cable than it is to input a WiFi password with a TV remote. Especially when WPS isn't an option. So basically everything I have that can use Ethernet does. It's easier to setup and it just happens to be technically better. And it is most definitely technically better than WiFi.
Yep, this was that January event Harada was referring to. Not that it wasn't hilariously obvious to begin with. Looking like it's a launch title too, sweet. Wonder if that's the same reason Mania's date (or status as a Switch title) still hasn't been confirmed yet.
I'm not much of a Zelda fan but DANG those skins are freaking beautiful. I'm waiting on some Kirby or cuter third party accessories to pop up but that case is tempting.

Less than two days people. Seems like yesterday we were sick of speculating about NX and rumours and fighting. Then we found out and got told wait for the 13th.
And here I am, on my 21st playing Pikmin 3 and Splatoon watching the clock tick down slowly, unwrapping Metroid Prime Federation Force and Sonic Boom Fire & Ice, and the internet slowly tearing itself apart with power debates and this and that and even more fighting and bashing of sides.
And yet here I am. 21 years young. Excited about a console properly for the first time since Wii U because its different. Its a new way to consume games in a new form factor and while the world pulls itself apart I prepare for my hands on Saturday morning, coffee for Friday morning and I think one simple thing.
Even through all the fighting and hate that will undoubtedly arise, its a damn good time to be a Nintendo fan.

I was going to pre-order the Switch today at Gameseeker, using their £198 offer, in case it turned out to be a great deal in 48 hours time. Cancel it if not. Turns out they've closed the offer. Too bad. Probably means 2017 won't be a Switch year for me (though we'll see, obvs), and I'm going to make it a backlog year instead. Spent too much on games and hardware in the past 2 years - need to regain some discipline.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
Can't wait to see all the hype and dissapointment!
Oh gosh, get out of here with that garbage. You really make yourself sound pretty terrible typing stuff like that. It's an exciting event for fans and gamers - get over it. New hardware and games are always cool to see.
I'm done with people who just want to see others get upset. Something wrong with that.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Not surprising especially with the new content still coming. The big question is whether Wii U will get the remaining content, talking especially about the King Knight campaign.
So this is pretty much going to be a weekend of Switch excitement. Watch the main presentation, and aside from checking in on forums, I'll not be looking out for news until I get my hands on the thing on Saturday morning at that UK event. I want it to be as fresh as possible when I experience what I do.
As for the presentation itself, I'm just looking forward to seeing more on the console and what it can do. And it might be a weird thing to request, but I hope they include the play time tracker on the console. I love seeing what games I'd been playing in the past. I just hope it's the more functional 3DS version rather than the downgraded thing we got on Wii U.
Can't have a presentation without games, so Zelda, GCN VC with Colosseum/Gale of Darkness coming down the line, Mario Kart subtitled Switch Dash, an Advance Wars game, the new Mario, and plenty more surprises that include a new F-Zero.
They're also increasing the price of the full game with all the DLC and offering each DLC pack separate. I really hope that the Switch has some kind of cross-buy offer going on. I've already got this game digitally on the Wii U and 3DS.......

@Shinion I know I'm late to the party but regarding the discussion about Mario/Zelda not being enough, maybe (in the latter's case) it's because we've been waiting so long the excitement has faded? I mentioned in the BotW thread that we've been seeing the same gameplay since 2014. Sure, I want the game but the wait is getting a bit boring now, especially with (still) no release date.
And yes Zelda is a Wii U game as well and there's been rumours that the Mario game was at one stage too but that's beside the point.
Actually it could be quite relevant. If all we're getting is a bunch of Wii U ports (including BotW) then the "what else will there be?" could also mean "what have Nintendo being doing for the last few years?" A lot of people feel they were burned with the Wii U and its lack of support so ports aren't likely to restore consumer confidence.
What would be more exciting from Nintendo for you than these 2?
Honestly, I think anything new would be more exciting. We're getting BotW (a game we saw years ago) and a 3D Mario (which we know nothing about): information overload on one and nothing to be hyped about for the obligatory other. It's quite easy to see why folk would be wondering if there is anything else up Nintendo's sleeve. Hopefully the presentation will change quite a few minds though.
