Nintendo Switch

Nintendo have announced a new console coming out March 2017 called the Nintendo 'Switch' which will basically be a home console you can detach from a docking unit and use as a portable console. A new 3D Mario will be released along with it.

Shit name potentially interesting concept.

That sounds quality, any ideas on price?

That looks really cool.

I'm a or was a huge Nintendo gamer and still have all my originals. However the past 5 years I haven't really enjoyed their new stuff. This though, I think I might make a purchase on!
Thanks for sharing!

That looks pretty good. I like what they're doing with the portable console concept. I might be tempted to buy one, assuming it's not too expensive.

Depending on price I will probably get one, being able to use it separately away from the TV will be great for single television households.

Looks like I'll be getting a Nintendo 'home' console for the first time in a while.

I've got to be honest, it will depend on price and reviews and the game catalogue for me, but the trailer makes it look very impressive.

White Denim, nice.

Rumours on FB that t will be $299 (in the states i guess) but due to the exchange rate fluctuations recently, who knows what it will this country as the £ could be anything by the predicted Spring launch

That does look pretty good, I like the concept.

I love White Denim too...

 

[brakespear]

Lovely

I bet the battery life will be poor which will make a portable consel pretty much useless with the battery life it will need to make
Top quality games.

I do find it a very interesting concept though. Back to cartridges for games and using the ability to create 2 mini controllers on the go.

MORE people walking around looking at little screens. Great.

What's this retro Nintendo going to be like? Released on 11th November

looks like a thick 7" tablet with very oversized docking station/charger. cant quite decide if this means it will be a underpowered console or shows how much power you can get in tablet form.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Most of the size is bound to be battery and I'd rather it work for a while than fit in my pocket but die

 

[Pantani]

Not sure about this one. It will rely on the games and it's quality when at home, I just do not see it's mobility being that useful, how long can the battery possibly last at the implied level of quality on the advert?

I can't imagine it'll cause more people to be looking at screens, just a lot of the same people looking at different screens instead...

I guess it could have the ability to scale-down the quality whilst being away from the dock, but I'd be surprised if that capability was compatible without having to relaunch the games. The video looks like you can just unplug it and keep playing, same quality and speed.

You can get some pretty impressive games on tablets now, but I'm very dubious about this. I hope I'm wrong but I expect it to be far behind the PS and XBOX in terms of capability. Graphics etc aren't everything, and lots of Nintendo classics get by fine with less power, so fingers crossed!

Slightly off topic (not worthy of its own thread), has anyone seen the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer?
