@shadow-wolf finally someone who gets it. Its not meant for people who are trying to replace their current switch with a new one. Its for kids, families and low budget gamers.
I agree and i really don't get why some are against it. Like the 2DS not being for people who already own a 3DS Switch mini won't be for someone who owns a Switch unless they are getting it for their spouse or kid. Even if you can't put joycon on it it will likely still be compatible and even if there is no dock included there can still be some way to connect to the tv.
I really wonder why the very idea of a Switch mini seems to disturb you people so much. Its not hurting you. What products nintendo releasea are their business. Man some of you take this hobby way too seriously.
I definitely think there's too much smoke to think its not coming. Thinking otherwise is just being pedantic. Agree with it or not, a Switch Mini is coming.
Its nintendo new fiscal year financial briefing week. So we will know if they are right or wrong soon becasue if rhey are right it will be announced today, tomorrow or Friday. If not they are wrong. We will see
No 3DS mention so do not expect any 3DS coverage in the direct. The platform is done. Switch Mini probably will not be announced tomorrow but its coming.
Above but proper d pad. Also i think new 3ds layout for should buttons and clickable circle pads over analog sticks are likely. Also i think sharper but still rounded corners are likely to make it more comfortable.
@nhSnork I don’t have time for baby steps. Have to be honest I’ve been kinda regretting getting a switch. It’s library just isn’t that appealing to me besides first party.
It’s ridiculous that there’s no free or offline way to backup saves and the app is ridiculous and so are those who defend it. It really feels like they don’t care. And if they don’t care why should I?
Farewell Kimishima. It was short but you did well. You took charge at a difficult time and right the ship while setting up the long term future. Thank you.
Can't wait to not be able to find one. Also locking a previously unreleased star fox game behind an inevitably hard to find retro plug n play kind of sucks.
@darkgamer001 To be fair, Nintendo decided to show switch then vow to say nothing/much till jan 12th. They had to have known stuff like this was a strong possibility.

Re: A Nintendo Direct Mini Has Just Been Shadow-Dropped, Watch It Here
@mikegamer so im not jumping for joy over a tame direct. I understand things happened outside nintendos control but come they can do better.
I'm done getting excited for directs.
Re: A Nintendo Direct Mini Has Just Been Shadow-Dropped, Watch It Here
Aaamd it sucked. Nothing new. Just port after port.
Re: Round Up: Is Astral Chain A "Platinum-Plated Masterpiece" Or "Flavourless Disappointment"?
Sounds great. Honestly Nintendo should just put a ring on it and buy PG.
Re: Is This Our First Real Look At Nintendo Switch Mini? Update: Company Responds
@BornInNorway81 yes an educated guess

Re: Switch Mini Rumours Escalate As Spanish Arm Of GAME Lists Accessories
Switch Mini is happening, whether you agree with the idea or not.

Re: Is This Our First Real Look At Switch Mini?
@sanderev lol of you say so. People here sure love being pedantic.

I definitely think there's too much smoke to think its not coming. Thinking otherwise is just being pedantic. Agree with it or not, a Switch Mini is coming.
Re: Is This Our First Real Look At Switch Mini?
I definitely think the announcement is coming next month for a September release.
Re: Rumour: New Nvidia Shield TV Could Share The Same Chipset As The Upgraded Switch
I get the feeling we may not have to wait too much longer for the Mini to be announced. Reminder that the annual shareholder meeting is next thursday.
Re: It Seems You Can't Play Against Friends Online In Super Mario Maker 2
I never get why Nintendo is so consistently bad at online stuff. Its really not that difficult.
Re: Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers Officially Confirmed For Switch
Yeah seems Atlus wants to keep the main series exclusive to PS.
Kind of a jerk move from Atlus marketing though they knew swotch owners were expecting a port.

Its nintendo new fiscal year financial briefing week. So we will know if they are right or wrong soon becasue if rhey are right it will be announced today, tomorrow or Friday. If not they are wrong. We will see
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Direct Rumoured For This Week Could Be A Perfect Send-Off For Reggie
Even if its not this week I expect some form of a direct before E3.
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 13th February
No 3DS mention so do not expect any 3DS coverage in the direct. The platform is done. Switch Mini probably will not be announced tomorrow but its coming.
Re: Nintendo Confirms It Has Unannounced Titles Set To Launch This Year, Delays Not Anticipated
Cool. Lets see them.
Re: Nintendo President Says 20 Million Switch Target Failed Due To "Insufficient" Efforts To Convey Its Appeal
And Q1 2019 does not look much better if at all. Rest of the year better be amazing.
Re: Nintendo President Says 20 Million Switch Target Failed Due To "Insufficient" Efforts To Convey Its Appeal
I think expecting smash to near singlehandedly carry the entire fiscal year was incredibly arrogant. This is on them.
Re: Nintendo's Stance On Directs Hasn't Changed Despite Gap Between Presentations
Its time for a direct and I have a feeling when it comes it will be big one.

Above but proper d pad. Also i think new 3ds layout for should buttons and clickable circle pads over analog sticks are likely. Also i think sharper but still rounded corners are likely to make it more comfortable.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Scrapped, Will Be Restarted Alongside Retro Studios
Well it sucks but its for the best. Takes balls to be open about a project not going well.
Re: Nintendo Hosting New Indie Highlights Video Presentation Tomorrow
@sanderev I am sure there will ne one next week if not week after.
Re: Nintendo Hosting New Indie Highlights Video Presentation Tomorrow
Nice. Indie stuff is always cool to see. I know everyone wants first party updates but there is more to switch than just Nintendo games.
Re: Soapbox: Let's Give Nintendo Switch Online A Chance Before We Throw It To The Wolves
@nhSnork I don’t have time for baby steps. Have to be honest I’ve been kinda regretting getting a switch. It’s library just isn’t that appealing to me besides first party.
Re: Soapbox: Let's Give Nintendo Switch Online A Chance Before We Throw It To The Wolves
That too MrMac. This is what they needed a 1 year delay for?
Re: Soapbox: Let's Give Nintendo Switch Online A Chance Before We Throw It To The Wolves
It’s ridiculous that there’s no free or offline way to backup saves and the app is ridiculous and so are those who defend it. It really feels like they don’t care. And if they don’t care why should I?
Re: I Grew Up With Nintendo And Will Respect Its Traditions, Says New President Shuntaro Furukawa
Farewell Kimishima. It was short but you did well. You took charge at a difficult time and right the ship while setting up the long term future. Thank you.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Considers "Nintendo Switch Pro" With NVIDIA Tegra 2 Processor
I definitely expect a a New Switch for second half 2019.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo, Somehow, Has Gone Backwards With Voice Chat on the Switch
They had to mess up something regarding the switch somehow. It may as well be the online. It's pretty clear Nintendo hates the very concept of online.
Re: Guide: How To Invite Friends And Use Voice Chat On The Nintendo Switch Online App
Sounds stupid. Love it when a company purposefully gimps something because they feel the need to be everyone's parent.
Re: Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition
Can't wait to not be able to find one. Also locking a previously unreleased star fox game behind an inevitably hard to find retro plug n play kind of sucks.
Re: Nintendo Veteran Genyo Takeda Is Retiring As A Company Director
@MarcelRguez Doubtful. He is pretty old. He should enjoy retirement.
Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
voted for Smash, Bayo, and DK. I felt that they have the most realistic chances of happening.

@darkgamer001 To be fair, Nintendo decided to show switch then vow to say nothing/much till jan 12th. They had to have known stuff like this was a strong possibility.
Re: Budget New Nintendo 3DS Models Announced for North America
Screw it i want the black one. FFS Nintendo please stock enough to at least last the launch weekend.
Re: Poll: Six Months On - How Do You Feel About My Nintendo?
yeah its pretty clear that MyNintendo was released before being ready.
Re: Rumour: NX Entering Trial Production At Foxconn, Annual Output Pegged At 10 Million
Well if true reveal must be happening soon if Nintendo doesn't want further weeks. Foxconn employees don't give a crap.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the 3DS Nintendo Direct - 1st September
i too think therell be a new first party 3ds game that gets revealed.
Re: Nintendo of America Expands Nintendo Selects Range and Unveils Small New 3DS Bundle
Cool might pick the 3ds up. Don't know why NoA can't just sell it regularly. This is the third bundle so there's clearly demand
Re: Sonic Mania Announced for Spring 2017, But No Nintendo Platforms Are Included
They devs working on it probably don't have nx devkits yet.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms March 2017 NX Launch And Quality Of Life Concept Development
@Yorumi same here sometimes. Tired of being told that I won't be told lol.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms March 2017 NX Launch And Quality Of Life Concept Development
@Hordak if nx is coming out in March manufacturing must begin before this year is over.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms March 2017 NX Launch And Quality Of Life Concept Development
Yep 3rd time March has been mentioned. Unless something disastrous happens it's coming out that month.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Provides Assurances on Pikmin 4 Development
@rjejr it's obviously going to be a launch title. Come on dude.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Provides Assurances on Pikmin 4 Development
Probably a summer 2017 nx game. Launching next to BotW would bury it.
Re: Patent Reinforces the Prospect of Nintendo NX Having a Portable Handset
Well I mean if we want to play certain wii u games in. Addition to D's or maybe even 3ds games on nx there has to be some kind of second touchscreen.
Re: New Sonic the Hedgehog Game is Coming in 2017
@SanderEvers I'm expecting it to be an nx launch title, not exclusive though.
