The revelation for December: the Xmas shopping month, what could it be?
Initially I thought it could be BotW2, now I am thinking it's a game yet to be revealed: Pikmin.
Nintendo added the Piranha Plant to Smash Bros and Mario Tennis a few months ago. People were scratching their heads, wondering why that character (and not Waluigi)? Nintendo don't do things randomly, it's all planned. Either there's going to be a Piranha Plant game or it will be a Pikmin game with that plant in it.
@graysoncharles I know, I am talking about battery life. It's been stated so many times, why are they repeating it? It's like they got nothing new to report so they said the same thing over and over to lengthen the video.
This is the best game of the showcase. Shinen is the real master of Nintendo hardware, even today Fast RMX remains the most technically superior game on Switch.
LOL of course not. Nintendo didn't even mentioned the Lite or this upgraded Switch at E3, they don't want you to wait for the better hardware. Why would they exchange old units now? They are happy you are unwittingly clearing up the old inventory for them.
This is one of the things I hate about Nintendo. Unlike other tech companies, they will never tell you when they put out new hardware. They don't want people to stop buying and wait for the new ones.

No Nintendog? This was the game that sold millions of DS and showed the world the power of touchscreen. (This was before iPhone era) Before Nintendog, DS was PSP's ugly silver Frankenstein monster rival.
These should be included as well:
Space Invaders Extreme
Kirby Mass Attack!
Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Art Academy
Feel the Magic XY/XX
Super Scribblenauts (This game was so revolutionary back then, now it's just another 'has been')
I wouldn't count Rocket League as an impossible port, it looks terrible compared to PS4.
I think Fast RMX is still today the most visually impressive game on Switch, it's actually a port of a Wii U game. Beautiful visuals with buttery smooth frame rate. There's many games running at 60 fps on Switch but none felt like Fast RMX: it's like games from NES/SNES era, unwavering solid frame rate that never falters.
The new 14nm process enabled the new Tegra chip to run cooler. That's why battery last longer. Nintendo can easily increased the clock speed to make it run faster but will reduced battery life to that of the original Switch. Naturally they won't do that, in order to match the current standard speed for parity.
Homebrewers will have a lot of fun with this new revision.
Unlike Apple, Nintendo refuses to support BT headphones and wants us to use wired headsets. You will still see that headphone jack on Nintendo consoles in 2050.
T'is true, no one will own anything in the future. Now there's audio and video streaming, no one buys the music or movies anymore. Soon the same will happened to games. You are only renting.
Housing will become more expensive as population increases, and no one can afford to buy houses anymore. Everything will be rented to you and when you died there will be nothing to pass to your children.
You entered this world naked and you will leave this world empty handed as well. That's the nature of life.
This is actually old news, it's last week's news. You forgot to mention it's Nvidia Shield's Android. It can run Shield's game: that means Nintendo's games that are only released in China.
Of course profit is half of what it used to be: now there's only 1 console, there used to be a home console and a portable. Making a 2-in-1 console like Switch will inevitably killed the 3DS despite Nintendo wanting it to survive.
The Joy-con problem could dampened the sales. None of any Nintendo consoles had controller problem like that. The Nintendo Seal of Quality had drifted.

Re: Hold Me, There's A New Firmware Update For Nintendo 3DS
The 3DS has worked hard for the last 9 years, set it free from the stable Nintendo. Let it run wild into the homebrew forest.
Re: An Overwatch Switch Carry Case Exists, No Prizes For Guessing What Comes Next
It's going to be a turn based Overwatch game, made for the RPG loving Nintendo community.
Re: Ni no Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch File Size Revealed
Why can't they make Grave of the Fireflies into a video game?
Re: Nintendo's North American Website Now Only Advertises The 2DS Line
Maybe Nintendo is planning to sell 3DS games on Switch. Yes you can play games in 3D using LABO VR.
Re: The Persona Series Has Now Sold More Than 10 Million Copies Worldwide
@AnnoyingFrenzy Nintendogs is way more niche than Persona. It's not even a real game, for something so niche to sell over 20 million is a phenomena.
Just look at the recent DS vote here at NL, no one even remember Nintendogs (which was the DS killer app back then).
Re: The Persona Series Has Now Sold More Than 10 Million Copies Worldwide
@Ralizah GTA V is multi platform, Nintendogs was on a portable and a new franchise, and it's not even a real game.
Re: The Persona Series Has Now Sold More Than 10 Million Copies Worldwide
Why is that a milestone?
Nintendogs has sold 23.96 million copies on DS, it's only a single game.

Re: Review: ONINAKI - A Decent Daemon Distraction
@erv The review can easily just asked if you like Diablo? If you do, then this is the game for you.

Re: Review: ONINAKI - A Decent Daemon Distraction
Reincarnation is the mechanics of the universe.
It's cool that someone uses that mechanic in a game, but then again didn't all game characters respawned when they died? Especially Deadcells.
Anyway 7/10 is low for Switch. There's just too many games, anything below 8 is not worth playing anymore.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Takes A Detailed Look At The Updated Switch SKU
Yeah we knew it's got better battery, it's been confirm a hundred times already.
Re: Review: Superhot - Super Fun, Sort Of Brief
This game is so hot right now.

Re: The Witcher 3 Switch Port Started Development Just 12 Months Ago
Give them another 12 months, it will be even better. Just wait for the patch a year from now and compare with the release version.
Look at Doom, the patch that came a year later improved a lot.
Re: Microsoft Has "No Plans" To Bring More First-Party Exclusives To Other Consoles
It would be funny if their games sold more copies on Switch than Xbox.
Re: Authentic Racer GRID Autosport Speeds Onto The Switch Next Month
I just want a Burnout 3 Remaster. Since Criterion sold out to EA, there is zero chance.
Re: The Witcher 3 Switch eShop File Size Revealed
It's still a lot smaller than PS4 version. This will be the first game in the West with a 32 GB cart.

@brendon987 Wow that was so long ago. I only play in portable mode, the game runs fine.

Re: Xbox Title Ori And The Blind Forest Is Making The Leap To Switch Next Month
I got a pirated PC version, played only for an hour. Thank god for that, now I can continue playing handheld.
Microsoft is gifting Nintendo with Cupheads and Ori, what did Nintendo gave them in return? I wonder about the deals they do under the table.
Re: Eastward Is Bringing A Lovely-Looking Apocalypse To Switch Next Year
Besides Tourist, this is the most interesting game.
Re: The Touryst Will Bring Blocky Adventure To The Switch Soon
This is the best game of the showcase. Shinen is the real master of Nintendo hardware, even today Fast RMX remains the most technically superior game on Switch.
Re: Rumour: The Time-Bending FPS Superhot Might Be Getting A Switch eShop Release
I think they will add LABO VR support for this one, it will make you puke in slow motion.
Re: If You Recently Bought A Switch, Nintendo Will Replace It With A Revised Model
LOL of course not. Nintendo didn't even mentioned the Lite or this upgraded Switch at E3, they don't want you to wait for the better hardware. Why would they exchange old units now? They are happy you are unwittingly clearing up the old inventory for them.

Re: Review: Friday the 13th: The Game - Ultimate Slasher Edition - An Asymmetric Multiplayer Gem Worth Hunting Down
Why is NL using the drifty Joy Con? What happened to good old Pro Controller?
Anyway, this game is just a glorified hide and seek game.
Re: Looks Like We're Getting A New Cooking Mama Game On Switch
I wish there is a Cooking Papa game with Gordon Ramsey. It would be rated MA+ for extreme coarse language.

200,000 units? That's more than all the Xbox sold last quarter.
