Have to say I'm really disappointed with this. I'd never use the portable function so all I would have is a console which so far is just playing ports of WiiU games. Also the moment companies like EA and Activision realise they will have to put time and money into downgrading their ports it will become another Nintendo machine where only Nintendo makes games for it.

NX (Nintendo's New Console)

This is true. The switch does nothing to break from the Wii generation of "but we are different and special" market.

We'll all have our Mario's and Zeldas and its well and good to play those because its usually worth the cost of the system, but I cant see the Switch beating out the PS4 and XBone for at home time. So whats left is a mobile system kids and un-embarrassed man children will play in public.

Even though I will get a Switch and probably like it alot, I really wonder when i'll actually use it. On vacations is most likely, but then im on vacation and trying to do human being shit like socialize and take pictures.

I've had that with my 3DS. I had tons of games for my regular DS and played it non stop but I only have about 5 games for the 3DS. The thing was the DS was out when I was younger, so I'd play it while I was in the car or on holiday with my family. Now I'm older I'm the one driving when I'm out or with my friends.

When you used to go out to shops you'd see kids sat on one of those benches in clothes shops playing a DS but now they're playing on their parents iPhone. Back in the day you had to buy the Game Boy or DS to keep your kids occupied but now you already have a device to do that. It's a big ask to expect people to not only buy but also carry around an extra device.

I also just don't see many adults doing what they're doing in the teaser video. Most people play games together online these days and this just seems like Nintendo still being stubborn and sticking to that comment from 10 years ago that no one wants to play games online.

That was pretty damn cool.

They should have showed the detachable controllers for maximum impact though

I may get the Switch as it looks like it has a half-decent controller compared to the previous consoles. All I want to do is play Nintendo Games. I want to play Star Fox, Zelda and especially Mario Kart but was never willing to fork out on an entire console with poor controls just to play them. Well. I did half consider getting a Wii U very recently after being bored to death with my PS4 but rumoured started circulating that production on the console was coming to an end.

I am still on the fence with the Switch. Compared to the Wii and Wii U, the control scheme looks less gimmicky but I am worried about the lack of power. A recent trailer for the Zelda game showed poor framerate and graphics from the PS2 era.

He'd buzz his tits off over a broken match dipped in cat shit if you gave it him.

I don't know how anyone can look at Jimmy Fallon's response to the switch and think it's genuine. I guarantee he doesn't give two shits. Real people don't freak out like that, it's a show.

Jimmy Fallon may come across as fake, but I think he's just awkward and can't keep a straight face. He seems genuine when it comes to anything video game related. The guy was on what he thought was a pitch for a movie with Nicole Kidman and put on a video game.
