How about we just wait until people actually have the Switch in hand, play it, and THEN we can decide if it's going to be successful? This generation of jumping the gun (positively/negatively) on everything is frightening to me. Yikes.

Has anyone found a carrying case that will fit the entire system, a game card case or some kind, joy-cons, AND a Pro Controller? Doesn't seem like any on Amazon mention anything about fitting the Pro Controller.

Gray Switch Set
Zelda: BotW (Master Edition)
Bomberman R
Pro Controller
Messenger Bag or Backpack (still can't decide)

I'll be waiting for extra joy-cons until they come in more appealing colors.

Will the physical Japan release have an English language option?

@Shiryu I feel the same way, but it just dawned on me that I will finally be able to import games for a Nintendo console and not have to buy a different region system just to play it. The question is, will there be an English translation on the physical, Japanese release? If not, I probably won't import it.

@Shiryu I like the way you think haha

@Shiryu I agree. I want physical copies because I am a collector. This looks like yet another great game that I'm afraid I probably won't end up getting.

I don't play either of these, but put Pokémon and Monster Hunter games on the Switch and it will sell through the roof.

@Rman12 "The Switch to me looks like a slightly improved Wii u in terms of graphics and power. I by no means am a graphics junky but from what I've seen so far when they show MK8 comparisons and Splatoon comparisons are so minimal to me."

The reason for this is because the Wii U was way better than the general population want to give it credit for. Most people who complained seemed to not own the system. In addition, Mario Kart 8 looks and plays better than 99% of the games I have played on XB1 and PS4, in my opinion.

For me, the issue isn't how good the game looks, or how many frames per second it's claimed to run at, or whether it's 720p, 900p, 1080p, or 4K. The issue is, we now live in a day and age where the kneejerk reaction to something that gets an initial positive impression (Switch) is to bash it and tell the world how it sucks, it's stupid, it's going to fail, etc. look no further than "anonymous" message board posts, twitter, Facebook, etc. to prove my point.

Have a favorite athlete/musician/band/political figure/ religion? Post something positive on a message board and watch the hate roll in. Guaranteed. Every. Time.
It's sad that we live in a world and in a time when we have access to so many incredible goods and opportunities and to all of the knowledge of mankind, yet we choose to use it carelessly and angrily. I, for one, am looking forward to playing games at home and on the go with Nintendo Switch regardless of how much some people simple don't want me to.

Here is the interesting thing. I'm a high school teacher. When I take my PS4 to school for a fun class with the students (if they have earned a break), few play and most don't seem interested. When I take the Wii U, the "hardcore gamers" who complain about it being a kiddie console eventually end up participating and having a blast with the entire class. They are usually laughing and enjoying themselves as opposed to getting angry with the PS4 experience. Nintendo knows what they are doing, it just seems people are afraid to have FUN in these dark, angry, social media days. This is my personal experience on the subject.

I have a feeling that when I take the Switch and have my students try out 1-2 Switch or Snipper Clips, it will prove to be the same outcome.

Just out of curiosity, why does the U.K. generally seem to dislike Nintendo (or rather, why does Nintendo not perform well there)?

Reggie is a snake oil salesman. In my opinion, he needs to be replaced by someone who at least appears to care what his customers want.

Good riddance to both Miiverse and Streetpass. I hope they took Miis and flushed them down a toilet as well.

Any chance Konami filed the trademark so they can sue that idiot Kanye West if he uses the name without their approval? It's been put out there that he is going to name his next album "Turbo Grafx 16"

I think he underestimates how many people think "Nintendo sux" for no legitimate reason whatsoever. These people will refuse to give Switch a chance because it doesn't have as many teraflops or some ignorant reasoning similar to that.

I, for one, hope Switch takes off big time so I can go back to being a one console house.

Daaang, I want that white XL in the US. It would be even better if it had the colored ABXY buttons like the little one.

@Shiryu might I ask how you got started with chiptune music? I have been wanting to give it a go for many years but never found the right place to start. I'm mostly interested in NES and Genesis era sounds.

I literally just sold my White one for $230 on eBay yesterday 😂😂😂

@ottospooky I will crush any of the rebels who stand (in line) in the way of the Evil Horde!

I just set back $500 for this. Whatever it costs, I'm looking to be first in line!

I, for one, am happy to wait a few more months for the reveal of NX. Could you imagine how devastating it would be to Nintendo if they released the concept now only to have Sony or Microsoft "copy" the idea and beat them to market or at least create product mock-ups featuring similar or better features? It wouldn't be good for business to reveal it too soon.

@Hey-Cha-La ...and the IGN review is way off base. It seems like they are criticizing it for trying to be exactly what it says it's trying to be.

It's a truly fantastic game that I will definitely be purchasing for the Wii U. The PS4/Vita version is wonderful, but it feels like its real home should be on a Nintendo console...just like Shovel Knight.

The characters look like Lego men or something. I just don't see the classic Metroid style in it.

Why was it taken down? I'm glad I got the first 20 issues before it was removed, but I wanted a lot more of them.

Maybe not the right place to ask this, but is there some sort of supply issue with the NN3DS XL in the US? I have been trying to get one for over a week in Kansas and can't find one anywhere. A lot of places like Best Buy and Walmart have been showing super low stock or none at all with August 3rd as the date available.

No offense, but the games in the video above look horribly dated and lifeless. Those look like a huge step down from Wii U to me.

@WebHead Doesn't the Chinese New Year fall around March? That usually causes massive manufacturing issues for some parts of the toy industry. It could cause supply issues for the NX as well.

Can anyone tell me why all of the pokemon in the area are now three footsteps away no matter what? I've been everywhere in my city and Kansas City as well and for the last two days or so, nothing ever shows up as two or one footsteps in the tracker.

I'm guessing it is people who need the exercise the most who come up with these methods. Just imagine, if they spent as much time actually exercising as it does to come up with stuff like this, obesity and heart disease might be less of an issue. Oh well! I'll just stick to the 17 miles of walking/running I put in yesterday.

Please tell me that it will be significantly enhanced for the NX in terms of visuals. It looks fine here, but it definitely looks like it's running on an underpowered system.

I suppose choices are always good if it doesn't affect the overall product or development, but this is something I simple don't care about. Could you imagine if they gave us a male version of Samus? Certain groups in North America would lose their minds and cry foul. It is what it is. All I want are great games.

How about this: Miitomo simply isn't fun. I've tried it. I don't get it.

How about a Captain N movie that incorporates multiple franchises into a single film or series of films?

Good or bad, my biggest fear is that Nintendo will give NX a different name that will be stupid.

I don't really care about E3 anymore. 95% of the announcements have never really resulted in me being through the roof excited for more than a mere few days after the announcement. Seriously, To get that hyped up over something, then to have to wait MONTH or even YEARS to fulfill the excitement has never been my thing. I'm kind of glad Nintendo is giving a giant middle finger to the current generation of "me, first; I want it now" social media people. Announce it when you're ready, Nintendo. I'll still buy it. E3 never has and never will change that.

I'm very happy with my Analogue NT. It hurt to pay that much, but my gosh, it is wonderful!

My biggest problem with Miitomo is that it's a harsh reminder that I have no friends. None. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

I don't even care about this game anymore.

Konami needs to let Yacht Club make a new Castlevania game.

Sounds great! I'd give it a spin for sure!

(Total sarcasm here):

What about an obese, male Samus?
Give me Father Brain, not Mother Brain!
What about a thin, orangutan Donkey King?
Why does Pit have to be a "kid" Icarus?
Eggplant Wizard...how about Pumpkin Witch?
When will Kirby get to be a blue square?
I don't want a Gameboy, I want a Gamegirl!
Nintendo Wii was fine, but we need Nintendo Vii.
Little Mac should be Big Mac...oh wait... :/

@Dr_Lugae Finally, some logic.

I have lost all hope that it will have a decent name. Nintendo NX would be fine. Nintendo Revolution would be fine. Super Nintendo was fine. Ultra Nintendo would be fine. They absolutely MUST drop the Wii name though. It's been a massive joke for almost a decade now. Yeah, the Wii sold a lot but let's be honest. It was a flash in the pan gimmick. Just don't call it something like the Joy Box or Dream Machine.

I just received my regular Gold NT a few days ago and it looks better than this. It also cost me $4400 less.

The two weeks of SNES games on 3DS spoiled me. Now we are back to the eShop doldrums again.

@Vincent294 I can't disagree with anything you said

@msvt I hate to admit it, but you're right. It wouldn't be unexpected for Nintendo to just do something that nobody wants.

While the Wii was fun for a time, I gravitated to the PS3 and really didn't look back. I really like the Wii U, a lot. But I feel so much more immersed with my PS4 that I kind of feel like a traitor. I really, truly want to love the NX as much as I loved the NES and SNES. I'll hold out hope as long as I can.

These SNES games on NN3DS Virtual Console have me positively giddy!!!

If this is the actual controller/NX, then I'm glad I got my PlaystationVR preordered yesterday. If the controller/NX ends up more appealing to me than this, I'm glad I can still cancel my PlaystationVR order if so desired. Please, Nintendo, don't break my heart by eliminating real buttons.

I can't help but look at the artwork for Metroid Prime Federation Force and immediately associate it with Lego games. It just doesn't look right to me.
