Still not convincing enough to merit a $15 price tag.

I like the premise but the art style seems like it could get annoying after a while.

Sweet potato would be good if it tastes like sweet potato casserole.

Expect even more scalpers to grab the first line this time.

There are plenty of scumbag companies in all industries that do this. The good news is that the more the public knows about it, the less likely the companies are to get away with it.

SEGA: "Time for another Sonic game! Let's throw 3 darts at the board to see what the enemies/setting/theme will be."
New intern: "Wait! The fans don't want that again!" throws 100 darts at once
SEGA: GASP

Whether this ends up being the Mario game we try not to remember or Mario's BOTW, it proves that Nintendo is more than willing to shake up its biggest franchises to win us back. I tip my hat, sirs.

ARMS DLC of Link using double clawshots confirmed 😉

"Blah blah they shouldn't make any more 3ds games because the Switch has been out 2 months and doesn't have a full library yet"

Somewhere at my dad's house I have an old binder with all the original basic packs that were made by Wizards of the Coast. I should probably find them...

They get props for not saying it's "good enough" so far.

Until the Switch is under $200 and fits in my pocket, it will NEVER be a replacement for my 3ds. That's just it.

McDonald's is a generous company. They offer a day-and-a-half worth of calories for under $7.

Nintendo certainly ramped up their marketing at the Target by my house. The decorative "balls" out front had Mario and Luigi covers on them and the buggies were decorated to look like mario-karts.

Anyone thrown one in a bog yet?

I live a couple hours south of Orange Park in Florida.

1. There is a giant inflatable gorilla in front of a tire store 3 minutes from my house.
2. Florida is the crazy state, seeing as it hosts most of the U.S.A.'s senior citizens and also plenty of rednecks in the northern part of the state, which is jokingly referred to as L.A. (lower Alabama).
3. Florida is a HUGE tourism state, so the upscale communities pretend they have giant homeowners associations to prevent anything considered "tacky" by residents.

Isn't that what the backers wanted? A nostalgic rehash? Other than the Wii U backers of course, who just want what they paid for at this point.

High speed meal + stasis+ + Urbosa's fury = come at me bro

But do the Switches include the Foam Square Update?

Played this morning and watched a moblin look for his weapon and then pick up and throw a bokoblin at me instead. When he landed he looked back and yelled like WTF MAN. Hilarious.

The squirtle thong is obviously the best one.

The open world was nice, but not essential for success. As long as they keep the physics, I'll be happy. I will NEVER go back to the old physics engines.

Am I to assume being struck by lightning cooks my apples as well?

Gamers won't typically care about the lack of streaming apps. The "casual" audience that Nintendo wants to pull back in from the Wii era, however, does care and always will.

Empty couch?

That's one for the resume. It shows dedication.

YES!!!!!! Just gotta sell my kids into slavery and that sucker is MINE.

The family scenario and the person-playing-alone-but-sometimes-in-public scenario are still the only realistic ones. They could show a children's birthday party, but I doubt Nintendo wants that image tied to the Switch.

@Gregory123 Of course.

It would make a less generic LOZ storyline though. Link and Zelda with an established romance and a child on the way? I like it.

It could just be what she's wearing, but... does Zelda possibly look pregnant?

Translation: There's still money to be made from the 3ds, so why change that now?

Drop the price enough and anything is possible...

**Sits next to random person playing NS on a bus and looks at them expectantly**
"So that comes with two controllers, right?"

If a country was going to ban such a thing for environmental hazards I would think Australia should be first.

I agree with the welcomed speed increase. Fragments of the Forgotten Past was excellent but between the poorly-planned menus and frustrating quest triggers, it was painfully slow.

$20 for a 5-10 hour game? Looks good but I'll wait for a price drop.

The games will sell the system. Portability alone will not.

Don't tell me what I have in my attic. Only I know what I have in my attic. It's disturbing.

Not even a Nigerian prince could get his hands on a Switch before next year.

This was just the result of our two-party system starting to crumble. The media painted him as some radical because he has no political experience. He's actually moderate and really only cares about the economy. Are there big changes coming? Probably not.

I remember reading articles that said the gamepad would have been better as just an add-on for the Wii. I thought that was a stupid idea at the time. In hindsight, it would have been so much more profitable.

@NewAdvent

Spot on. He's just covering. The Switch is another attempt to carve a new gaming niche just like the Wii. If it turns out like the Wii U, they'll have the 3ds to fall back on.

I used to be a manager at a call center (dead end job) and on Fridays we used to have a Wii and let the agents take turns playing in between calls. So on my last day I brought in my Wii U that I had just bought in March 2013. I set it up on this huge tv on the wall that normally scrolled company messages. The agents loved it and I realized Nintendoland was an awesome game when you could get a large group together. Funny thing, most of the agents were in their 20s and had no idea that the Wii U existed...

After the Wii U, they don't trust Nintendo to produce a console with more than one defining feature. They saw the video and categorized the Switch under "gaming tablet". I have to admit, I'm skeptical too, but I buy Nintendo systems for the games. Portability may diversify that experience, but for me personally it won't matter much. We just have to trust that by intending to "revolutionize gaming" Nintendo didn't just mean the ability to take their newest console to a park.

Wish we had Twilight Princess HD as an option 😭
