@SLIGEACH_EIRE It works both ways. Hideo Kojima enjoying 1-2-Switch is also good advertising for the game and Nintendo.

Switch is Wii U and 3DS succesor. They have unified their development team and platform a while ago. No need for a separate device when whey can put all their resources into making games for one machine that can be both.

This got me intrigued. Could be interesting. Threes! and Ridiculous Fishing are some nice gems, so this guys have proved to have good taste on the titles they choose to publish.

@impurekind Meh, I don't know. They can't make everybody happy I suppose. I skipped Wii U by the way. And only have a wii for a couple of months to play Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Then I sold it and got a 3DS. I'm not rich and I don't buy everything Nintendo sells. So I don't know if I qualify to enter in what you call "people like you" Then again, the point I'm trying to make is: "You don't have to be a fanboy to disagree with what you are saying" There are more than just 2 kind of people and more than 2 opinions. My intention with this comments is not to make you change your mind, it is to let an opinion here to anybody else to see. Your is an usual complaint and a questionable one. People need to realize that if they are more interested in big AAA titles, maybe they are barking at the wrong tree. Maybe it would be a better idea to put their money and time elsewhere.

@impurekind You can choose to believe in your point and if you are basing your opinion only in your preference, then there's no way to prove you wrong. The thing is, for the rest of the world, your opinion don't apply in this case.

The Wii was a massive success, that's not an opinion, that is fact. It didn't need AAA western titles to do that. It got some, but few people cared about them.

I see someone mentioned before that: "A PC and a Nintendo console is the perfect combination for any gamer" And I find that brilliant. I don't understand why people complaint because they can't currently play Battlefield or The Witcher on a Nintendo console. If I wanted to play those games I'll buy a console that have them. I think people that constantly complaint about this issue should think a bit about their preference in games, maybe they are putting their time on a place and a company that is bringing them more wrongs than goods. That is not healthy.

@Octane Is that confirmed? I have not seen official information about it.

@impurekind Because I'm a fanboy? I actually don't know what you think I'll be disagreeing with. But if you mean about the fact that everybody that doesn't think Switch needs AAA western titles is a moron and a blind fanboy, then yes, I disagree.

@gatorboi352 I'm pretty sure that will be the case for every classic game you buy on Switch and going forward. Wii u VC probably no.

A successor to 3DS will be redundant. What's the point of unifying your development team and platform if you're going to make another different machine?

On the other hand, a portable-only Switch would be a good idea with a smaller screen and lower price.

@Anti-Matter They are on the list of developer currently working on Switch projects.

@impurekind Very mature comment: "Anyone who disagreed with me is a blind fanboy moron!!!!" Mm, ok buddy ok.

@gatorboi352 Nintendo fans doesn't whine and complain that 3rd parties don't bring their titles over to Nintendo consoles. There is a small group of people that does. I wouldn't call then Nintendo fans, in fact, I'm still trying to understand their logic, apart from the fact that they seems to enjoy complaining about things.

@HSuzumiyaVI I suppose that is a small and VERY vocal portion of Nintendo fans.

@banacheck You're right, but I was merely using the "third party" name as people normally use it on those shores: To represent games from big AAA western developers.

@Yorumi That's a valid fear. But I really don't see a way to compare Wii U with Switch. When the latter is on a different league before launch. In game lineup, people perception of the concept, development enviroment and general hype.

They will continue to support 3DS until Switch stablished itself. Then is goodbye.

@gatorboi352 I reckon your opinion doesn't represent the thinking of the "western audience" as a whole. Only represent your opinion. It has been well documented that people don't buy Nintendo consoles to play third party titles. So a steady launch of Nintendo games every month is a good idea. As Mitch already said it, complemented with some third party and eshop releases.

@aaronsullivan People like to dismiss things they don't like. I'm looking forward to play it on march.

@Jazzer94 You're comparing a list of 21 partners with a list of more than 100?

@XCWarrior I haven't been able to pre order a Switch. Could you point me in the direction of a store where it is still available?

"Will run beautifully on the powerful Switch" Still trying to figure out if that's suppose to be a joke.

How do they dare to release a console that won't be playable in 2025?

No sure if I get it on Switch, but I'll be enjoying the update on 3DS. The more I hear about it the more it sounds like a new game.

I only know Corrin because everybody talks about him/her online. But Tharja I don't mind.

This is looking more and more like a catch up phase. We'll probably get all the games that were on wii u, plus some of the little gems that skipped that console. Then when all is in the right place we will start getting the new games. That's fine by me since I didn't owned a wii u.

If they are choosing to ignore the touch screen on promotional material because they want to simplify the message I think it's smart. Too many features to throw them all at once. If something we can count on is the impossibility of regular audience to understand new concepts. Especially online.

I'm guessing they will focus on the touch screen at a later stage. Maybe when a touch based game is announced.

After completing Planet Robobot I was looking to get Triple Deluxe, so glad I waited. Now give me A Link Between World and I'll have them all.

@KirbyTheVampire I'm happy someone finally said it

I think the Switch is what you want it to be. That's the good part of it. You have so many configurations to use it, you just have to choose the one that is right for you at the moment. I haven't owned a home console since the wii. Playing mostly on 3DS since then. But I'm quite excited to get back to home gaming especially with a console that I can also take with me on the go.

I can see Nintendo releasing a less expensive portable only version of Switch later on. I don't see the point on releasing a different portable device to replace 3DS unless Switch happens to undersell (Which I doubt). Then again, a portable virtual console machine similar to the NES Mini, will be smart.

Right now I'm actually looking on some nice 40" tv. It will be a crime to play Zelda on the little 19" screen I currently have.

Memory cards will have to wait

Looking forward to both Wonder Boy games. Super Bomberman, Street Fighter II, Sonic and Isaac. I am Setsuna looks interesting too.

@Rman12 I can respect that, its a personal decision. I hope you change your mind eventually. Maybe when the system is out. I personally don't see point of comparison between Wii U and Switch. For me it is a huge step forward. In graphics or performance? Maybe not, but almost in every other way: Portability, improved development enviroment, revamp online system (Hopefully), lot of way to play, unification of console and handheld divisions (And franchises), return and improvement of motion control, you name it. Huge step forward, especially if you compare it with 3DS. Nevertheless you have a valid point and is interesting to see that the new system is not for everyone.

@Rman12 With all due respect, if you buy a Nintendo console because of it power, you are monstrously missing the point.

Bummer. At least I plan to have my system lock at english. I would be the one crying if I had to hear Princess Zelda talking in spanish.

@KirbyTheVampire I find very hard to believe there is much people out there that want a Nintendo system and doesn't love or care enough about Nintendo titles. I would say Nintendo games are (much of the time) the first reason someone would want a Nintendo system.

It is always funny to find the typical comment: "Nintendo NEEDS third party support if they want the Switch to be a hit"

When in reality is the other way around. Switch needs to be a success in order to receive some third party support. As @Damo say, if the audience is there, developers will find a way to put their games on the system. The old "System is not powerful enough for AAA titles" is a misinformed argument. Studios will put their games on any system that sells and have a big enough audience. If they don't have the man power to do it themselves, they will hire someone else to do the job. It is more of an economic matters than a technical one. You want third party titles? Buy a Switch, enjoy the system. Then all the uninspired, lazy, poor executed but popular Sports and FPS games that people love so much will be there asap.

@bluedogrulez No yeah, I probably used the word "local" wrong. I mean to be able to compete with someone you know is always more fun. I know the multiplayer is asynchronous and online.

@bluedogrulez I'm still convincing my sister to get it also, if only for Toad Rally. It certantly sounds like fun on local multiplayer.

I want to play this, but right now I'm on saving mode for Switch. Nevertheless it looks like a good package with some nice extras. Didn't expected the animated shorts to be included in the game. That's a plus. Anyway, hope people enjoy this one. Here's hoping for some fun platformers like this on the new console.

I'm not a fire emblem fan. Didn't knew about the franchise until recently, but this could be a good way to start. It looks rather good. I trust Nintendo to use the micro transactions wisely.

So ready for it

Makes you wonder why they didn't use a similar approach on the presentation. Have some famous faces playing the Switch or some band doing the rounds.

I just wish we get the option to change the language.

@LegendOfPokemon I see one advantage, but this is merely an opinion based on my taste. Nintendo games worth more, period. Nor Microsoft nor Sony have the level of classic quality games that Nintendo have.
We can't expect Nintendo to just give away their decades old lineup of classic games just because. This are games that started entire genres and franchises, no any random game you can find around.

On the other hand we know how Nintendo have been doing things in the past. They sell their classic games again and again. It is not surprising that they pretend to charge for them once more. At least now we can try the games for a whole month before deciding to buying it. I have my 3DS full of classic games that I played and finished in less than a month and then never try them again. For me personally, having one classic game a month, means I can probably finish Super Mario World or Earthbound without buying it and then replace it with another game next month. That's brilliant. And well it is called Game Rental for a reason.

I think this smaller games should have a price similar to those on 3DS. I'll say $30 or $40. Let the $60 mark to big console titles like Zelda and Mario Kart

Lovely person. He looks like a big kid just like Miyamoto.

@LegendOfPokemon Why?

Can't say who was rambling more, Suda or the poor translator. Until now I blamed the translator but man, this dude lost his focus several times in just a minute.

It is unfortunate because the piece of information that was left out was actually quite important.

Looking forward to this one since it was announced. If it is coming to Switch, now there's where I'm going to get it.

@Spoony_Tech I don't think Reggie can take this type of decisions. He's not the president of Nintendo. No intention to defend him, but I think he has bosses.
