As long as they don't touch my Nintendo, I really don't give a toss.

Lol, this is brilliant. They seem like they would make excellent bedfellows.

I'm interested.

@Razer The survey stated that there was more interest in Switch development (36%) vs Xbox (28%).......

That said, console wars are silly. Nothing is a joke, nothing is a fail...... I've started to block specific sites for the same toxic mentality as this.

All this goes to show is that Switch is interesting to developers, almost as interesting as PS4 which is brilliant. They are two totally different systems, and that's a damn good thing.

Switch will have more Monster Hunter, because Capcom like and need money.

Arrived for the comments, leaving satisfied.

@Franklin That would imply that they are being dishonest about what you are actually getting.

Which is utter swallocks.

Some people have no soul.

It's amazing that, given the wording of the announcement, people have to go through a process of elimination regarding their own personal desires for Switch.

I'll be back later to bask in the glorious flames of disappointment.

@CrazyMetroid LOL, sycophants.

@CrazyMetroid How mature.

Ummmm..... Nostalgia isn't really an excuse for posting this.

Sorry.

If it’s anything, I’d put money on it being an HD version of Samus Returns for Switch. They could put the work in and still have it out relatively quickly, compared to developing a title from the ground up.

Games, games, and more games please.

Bloodborne alone is one of my favourite games of all time. The mere fact that DS is it’s granddaddy should speak volumes.

Day one, as I am prepared to die (again).

The way I read it, Switch will be getting more of a straight port while the other versions will be based on improvements from Dark Souls 3.

We shall see, but I would not relish playing the original version in handheld mode at all.

They are doing nothing sans setting the expectations for this Direct waaaaaaay to high.

We all know how that goes.

It’s. Not. Happening.

It's not happening tomorrow. It's..... Just not.

Still no word. Can we all stop listening to ‘insiders’ now please?

A new 1080? Yes please, especially if it’s a racer with procedurally generated weather, hazards and obstacles. And lots of customisation.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I love Tingle, primarily because he’s often such a polarising character for all the wrong reasons. I’d gladly pay for Switch remastered versions of his DS outings.

@DM666 Me too, one of my most played games on that system. Oddly enough, next to Nightbreed, which was almost universally reviled.

@StupidName64 Yes. While I’d love to see them pull a ‘Majora’s Mask’ with the BotW engine, that will be a ways off yet. A Four Swords type game that makes clever use of local (and perhaps, dare I say, online) multiplayer would be most welcome in the interim.

Now with added loot crate fun!!!

I jest..... Or do I?

Don’t do it, EA.

@Oubie That’s one of my favourite racing titles of all time. The soundtrack, controls, pacing.... It was all spot-on.

@Shiryu In a heartbeat. Loved that series then, love it now, it rescued me from 3rd party purgatory on GCN and wiped the mat clean with those terrible Wrestlemania titles they released.

Remember that satisfying bell sound upon landing a low blow on the N64 titles? It sounded like a flipping bicycle bell on the early GCN games lol.....

This is sure to put a smile on peoples faces. Many thanks to the anon reader, and have a wonderful Yule!

@DairyOverdrive It's simply being funded by Nintendo, Sega retain the rights.

@CircuitWrangler3 I guess we will see.

Sony aren't going to copy Nintendo at all, there's really little point in that kind of self-sabotage when PS4 is big in the west as well as Japan. I feel that this comment was more side-eyed compliment than anything else, and they will probably just continue to push remote play as a means of 'countering' any Nintendo success.

Besides, they now have mainline Monster Hunter all to themselves in Japan. In fact, they have a massive bulk of all the third party games to themselves in Japan.

They don't have anything to worry about.

Still too big a download alongside the physical version IMO, so it's a no from me.

Entered.

I believe Nintendo will make use of their supplementary computing device before the release a Switch 2, which would essentially boost it to the hallowed 'Tegra X2' levels of performance (that seem to be so important that they almost buried the Switch on reveal when it turned out to be based on the X1).

A 'New' Nintendo Switch will most likely be in the works, but you can bet your left buttock that it won't see the light of day until both Nintendo and Nvidia figure out a way to prevent it from pulling a Galaxy Note and burning your house down.

Switch is fine as it is right now, and when the time is right, they will likely slap a revised chip set in there.

@JamesR

Teh 4 KAYZZZZZZ!!1!!

Doomed.

Oh, and that's pretty much in line for something BIG releasing next year.

Like Pokemon.

'Virtual Console' is dead, it's now the Nintendo online service where you will be able to download select titles every month.

Arcade Archives is a fresher approach if you ask me, and I'll gladly keep an eye on what Hmster are doing in the future.

I'm hoping for Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder.

I haven't gotten my hands in a copy of this yet..... might just have to change that.

@Agramonte The only ball that was dropped was in the capacity vs price. I have a feeling that they will be sorting that sooner rather than later.

I'm not buying their title based on this, and I'm going to bloody well let them know as much.

@BanjoPickles They were rumoured to have a build of DSIII - that they were happy with - running on Switch. Perhaps that rumour had an ounce of truth to it after all.

I don't care.

This game has had more 10s thrown at it than your average employee at Spearmint Rhino.

Looking good, and boding well for AC Switch. That game is gonna be huuuuuuge (as in scope).

@liveswired Why thank you. I do have a great routine.

@shaneoh Sometimes, they stink so bad that you don't have to

@shaneoh Opinions are like bumholes; everyone has got one, but that doesn't mean yours stinks any less than another's.

Anyhoo...... I'm hopeful that this means a Smash Ultimate is on the way, with both the Wii U and 3DS versions amalgamated into one glorious HD package.

Watching this trailer back gave me the same feels as it did a year ago. I'll be the first to put my hands up and say that I initially doubted the whole hybrid thing, but as soon as I saw it it all made sense. Yeah, a bit of extra grunt wouldn't have gone amiss, but at what cost would that have come? I can imagine it would have nerfed the portability as well as the price point.

Who could have imagined that it would have turned out the way it did? Doom, Wolfenstein, LA Noire..... What's next??

I'm getting the Hori Splatoon headset.

Sorry not sorry.
