Very cool!

I like the look. But I don't trust the plastic to stay so clear. Many transparent plastics tend to become yellowish over time. Especially when exposed to higher temperatures.
Maybe a coloured transparent shell would be a better fit. Like the pro controller.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE the Switch is more like a modified tablet, than a modified WiiU. What do you think 'modified' means?

I would like to see it on the Switch. It doesn't look very demanding graphically, but maybe it's the scope of the gameworld that's the problem. They might have to add some load screens or cut some areas. But pricing will be tricky.

@GoldenGamer88 I'm sorry you feel that way, I personally am happy that they haven't given multiple comfortable options for fully powering off. It works just fine for my phone, laptop, iPad and Switch, and I like my UI as uncluttered as possible. Furthermore it would encourage people to use it in a way that's less accessible, it might skew the public perception.

@GoldenGamer88 you can turn it on remotely when in sleep mode. Every device you can turn on remotely is in some kind of sleep or standby mode. They want us to use it like you would a phone. I don't really see a good reason to power it off all the time.

I've got mine already! Gotta love small town toy shops where the employees don't understand launch dates. Joy!

I was hoping for this announcement. Seems like something me and the mrs could enjoy together. Affordable Space Adventures didn't hit the spot, I'm hoping this will.

Zelda and Snipperclips for me initially. I really feel 1-2 Switch should have been a pack-in title. Maybe they'll include a demo. Just so I can easily show off the Switch's functions.

So dry. I love it.

Is it confirmed then that Switch supports UHS SDXC?

I found something cool! Pikmin World!!!
Also Ass Creed Egypt and Rabbids Invasion!

@Dev You're right. But for me the ending kinda left a sour taste because of the Octarian opression, so resolving that feels like the right thing to do. Maybe with a few extra levels in singleplayer.

I'm kinda bummed there's no family sharing. Would've bought it if it had.
By the way, I know iPhone has a stigma for being expensive, but all that talk about being well off for having one seems somewhat hypocritical. Most Android users I know have high end phones that are only slightly less expensive if at all. To each his own.

@Kimite Thanks, that's very helpful

Let me correct that for you: 04:00 CET. No good reasons to enforce US standards I'd think. Next we'll be converting foot to meter... This is a British site, isn't it?

@jimi I hear a lot of name calling. And presumptions. And prejudice. Why so negative? There's no need to lash out.

I just assumed it was so short because of Wiimote compatibility, not technical limitations. Interesting theory...

I don't see why it being made in Unity would logically point to console-ports. They're planning on releasing it on Android too. Maybe that's an easy way to accommodate for that? It's built for phones, not home consoles.

@TheNerdyJ I agree, I think they'll want to distance Switch and Mobile to entice people to switch to console-gaming. Otherwise it may be confusing for some.

They'll support it for at least another year. And beyond that, I guess we'll have to wait and see how well the Swith will sell...
