Didn't the Switch footage of BOTW have frame rate issues too?

Considering how long this game has been in development, there should be no excuse for its framerate issues. Wii U or not.

Are those framerate problems? Welp, time for another dela...dropkicked by Thomas

Is that Linkle? Female Link? Zelda?

I NEED ANSWERS

What if there was a roller coaster shooter like the one in Super Mario Sunshine? Yessss...

The market was cannibalized. Having Skylanders, Disney Infinity, amiibo, and Lego Demensions all selling at the same time would lead to oversaturation eventually.

Also, one mistake the Skylanders devs made was excluding a Wii iteration in this new entry. As much as people hate to admit it, a huge market still exists for the Wii system. And the fact that they ignored that install base this time around might have been a big catalyst to their financial devastation.

I fully expect Nintendo to have less than 10 Switches per store.

How many times must Nintendo shoot themselves in the foot?

When I first became a gamer, I came across a plethora of fan games and let's plays that influenced me to buy Nintendo products. I still remember Super Smash Flash eventually got me to play Super Smash Bros Brawl. Watching Blitzwinger playthroughs of Lego City Undercover convinced me that Wii U was a system that I wanted to get. Neither of the mediums are technically legal, but they do work in Nintendo's benefit. If Nintendo was to think likewise, they are incredibly close-minded.

As I said once before, being in the legal right doesn't necessarily permit that you to take legal action. Bad PR makes them lose money too.

Lego City Undercover and The Wonderful 101 should get ported to the Switch. Both didn't get the attention they deserved thanks to poor marketing and the Wii U.

That subtitle was too easy.

"We'll support the system as long as it sells well" -EA and every other third-party developer

@InfernapeKing97 To be fair, Masahiro Sakurai has retweeted one of his videos before (The Mewtwo reaction).

Nintendo definitely knows who he is.

MEWTWO?!

I don't know what's funnier. The fact that Nintendo is terrible at stocking in-demand items, or that people are going crazy over a system that plays decade-old games literally available anywhere.

@the-madprofessor Source for the 2018 date? I can't find it anywhere.

@SanderEvers I'm not referring to technicalities here. Yes, they did say they weren't ending Wii U production specifically that week, but that's not the impression they gave. A few months ago, we were told that Wii U support would last even after the Switch was announced. Based on our past 2 E3s, I didn't a believe a word of it. But I didn't want to be right, either.

Considering the position Nintendo is in now, they need to stop the corporate talk. It gets them nowhere. Whether it be the denial of a 3DS XL or Breath of the Wild's Wii U exclusivity, this is something that has to stop. As a consumer, I expect integrity from a company that I give plenty of money to each year. If they can't provide that? I could be looking at alternative console providers soon.

So Nintendo basically lied to us?

Rest in peace, $300 Smash Bros machine. :')

I think I may have overestimated the intelligence of the internet.

Fine by me. As long as the Switch sells, I don't think third-party support will mind this caveat.

I know this is only slightly related but...is that Mighty No 9 movie still happening? I feel like the franchise is dead in the water at this point.

Can't forget the trousers!

Are we looking at a Switch launch title hint?

@plug313 Well, it is the first hybrid console...by technicality. PlayStation has already done a similar concept with the PS TV. Granted, that's with two systems instead of one. But still. I'll be looking forward to seeing how the average consumer responds to the system...

@plug313 I guess that all depends on your perspective. We waited over a year for the reveal of a system we've seen thousands of rumors confirm that it's a hybrid console well beforehand. Looks like a fine system, but's it's nothing new.

So... the Switch is basically what everyone was expecting it to be. Ok.

For a Wii U port, Zelda NX actually looks pretty good.

IT'S ABOUT TIME

At this rate, I don't think Nintendo wants my money.

Localizing this thing is gonna be a challenge since we decided to set the series in the west.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hey! We Americans don't need the extra Us!

Hey, I remember Project Cars too!

@JubilifeRival But wasn't it valid? Nothing I said was incorrect.

@JubilifeRival Meh, I don't know. Just mass critical acclaim. Great nostalgia. Not a big deal.

@JubilifeRival It's a spiritual successor to one of gaming's most iconic entries: Banjo Kazooie.

It's hard to not to get excited about that.

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Nintendo: We can't reveal the NX until we protect our intellectual properties first! DMCA-ed

Ubisoft's marketing the NX more than Nintendo is.

Saw the announcement yesterday. Nintendo must be delusional if they think they can hide this from the internet.

I only want another Star Fox if it's not another remake/reimagining.

Must avoid a punny remark. Must avoid a punny remark.

Nintendo said they had no plans of going into the mobile industry.

Take this info with a grain of salt.

Still need to get my hands on Lego City Undercover.

I'm loving that Comic Sans.

@Grumblevolcano Shh! You're predicting the future! No one wants to hear that!

Hey, at least they're keeping the "New" series on smartphones as opposed to future consoles.

Well...there goes Triforce Johnson's chances of being the first NX owner.

@Utena-mobile @ricklongo That's a good argument. Though I find it odd that Nintendo would prevent other developers from making a proper Metroid experience, when it's really their job to do so.

@CharlieSmile What harm would a Samus costume do to the Metroid IP? I don't recall Mario costumes in Bayonetta ruining Mario's image.

I'm guessing fan games infringe more on Nintendo's rights than emulators do.
