@RainbowGazelle Since when could I take my Wii on the go? Also, most househoulds have one Wii console, while there could be more Switches per households. Totally different than the Wii.
Nice summary! Although I think it is nothing for me, it is a genius idea from Nintendo to attract young people. This formula will be a hit! The Switch target audience will be bigger with this.
We got Tv mode, tabletop mode, handheld mode and this will be another mode to play? How Nintendo? I assume no new games to announce, no OS updates or VC.
I think they will launch the Online Service at the same time with Virtual Console. The reason that the service is free now is to create a acceptable userbase for their online supported games (Splatoon 2, Mario Kart, Arms, Fifa, etc.). Once the userbase is big enough (which I think it is now with the current Switch sales), they will roll it out.
I hope that MyNintendo points could be used for something like 'a month free Nintendo Online' or something. Otherwise I wouldn't know why we still don't have any Switch rewards yet!
Going on a worldtrip next month so for me Youtube and Netflix is a welcome because the screen is bigger than my phone. An achievement app or something like that is nice to replay games which I have already completed (Zelda, SMO, Mario Kart). With achievements I think I will pick up these games again and put many hours in it to fulfill the achievements.
I don't need a webbroweser or social media apps on it.
@ThanosReXXX Why did they create this hype with the Chibi-Robo tweet instead of just post a tweet about 'a mini direct is coming tomorrow' or something. This big hype has led to many many many disappointments. Why creating a hype for something mini? Nintendo did know that the Chibi-Robo tweet would create a hype, a hype for almost nothing. Or do they have some plans for a full direct very soon?
And the hype around the tweet is still going on. Developers Zoink and Quantic dream posted also a fire based post on Nintendo's tweet an hour ago. I fear that our expectations were too high for this direct and that we will be disappointed after the direct.
Something is happening, we can't ignore that. Nintendo is trolling us with teaser tweets and now Doom, Sonic, MegaMan and Assassin's Creed are giving more hype to it.
An open world with the Zelda items which are obtained during quests. This way you can enter several places with you could not enter before when you didn't had that item. More world will be unlocked. And the most important thing imo: bigger/more real dungeons instead of many many shrines!
@1UP_MARIO No, I want to spend my points on something like a month online subscription for example or something for VC (if this will be launched soon).
It has to be possible to spend points earned with Switch games on Switch rewards. The Switch nearly has his first anniversary which means that these point will expire. That is ridiculous!! Come on Nintendo!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE That is very weird because when the official numbers came out last Monday, the Switch already sold 1.95 million units in Japan till October.
I am curious about the next two months. Loads of games (even if they are ports) on the Switch and the holiday period!
Edit: Thank you for the charts, really like to see those every time.
The Fifa 18 sales are not that bad for the Switch. I am picking up a copy myself today. I am really curious about the Switch sales after the release of Mario Odyssey. Hopefully Nintendo has enough consoles in stock by the 27th because I believe the sales will be huge!

@617Sqn You mean that logo of the JoyCon on the carton boxes? No, that is just the 'plus' at the top of the JoyCon.
Re: Nintendo Is Announcing "A New Way To Play" Later Today
@duartesales But what about the 'new interactive experience'?
Re: Nintendo Is Announcing "A New Way To Play" Later Today
@CorvoRevo Nintendo Holland translated this to: 'for young and old'. So either the translation is wrong or their focus isn't just for kids.

Re: GameStop Tweets About Nintendo Direct, Then Quickly Deletes The Tweet
Maybe this IS the actual direct? A new way to announce games? I like this style of Nintendo. The marketing team gets my credits!
