So no 'scroll' shoulder buttons.  Detachable parts seem to have new kind of analogue stick?

Two people crowding around that small screen? I can see kids doing it, but adults?

Would be better if they showed it could be hooked up to a TV without the dock and two could play from any random TV they come across.

On the go?  Why not?  Looks ideal for on a plane.

Tiny is one thing, but I'm seriously worried about the snap on system just breaking.

EA's on there. Fuck everything.

Now lets see if Bethesda/Konami/EA/Capcom/Konami and Squaresoft actually put their big mature games on it and not spin off junk or late ports.

How many people make daily plane journeys?

You know what would work? I saw these plastic hooks on tv that have a tile sized piece of plastic on the back. It sticks to any smooth surface and can take like 5 kg of weight, peels off cleanly and is re-usable. Having something like that and sticking the Switch to the back of a chair on the train or something would be better than a kickstand.

I used to be on a plane all the time, this would have been the best thing ever.

Gaf is dead.

Can we talk about the best part, new Mario!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And what is going on with splatoon? New version?

I'm calling bullshit on all these theories about linking multiple tegra's together for improved power.  The dock is just a piece of plastic.  The whole thing is less feature rich than the WiiU, you can't use the Switch's screen as a second screen à la the Gamepad.  This doesn't bode well for Splatoon.

Over here Switch is some lame Apple reseller.  Blech.

They showed a peripheral to stick it to the back of a car seat for kids to play it on long journeys.  My son would love that.  So would I , but I'd be driving.  Sad

So, Wii U Zelda, MK8, Splatoon, Skyrim port, random 2K Basketball game and new Mario sort of shown.

Not great.

Glad that Splatoon got the respect it deserves, you guys need to get back into the multiplayer. Is this just a port though? So what, I have buy Splatoon twice just to be able to play it offscreen? I want a sequel, not a double charge. Fux sake.

Yeah, new Splatoon.  The little bits they showed were way ahead of WiiU splatoon graphically.  As for new mario, we saw like 5.2 seconds, what is there to discuss?

What they didn't show is using the screen as a tablet.  As far as we can tell from this trailer, it might not even be a touch screen.

NVIDIA provided the GPU for Switch

Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

Holy crap. Skyrim on a Nintendo system.  Never thought I'd see the day. I am not quite sold on those detachable controllers, but aside from that I am very impressed and very surprised. That was a lot more than I thought we would see in terms of both functionality and software. I was really expecting something like that one E3 where they just showed off the Wiimote, but nothing else.

What's there to talk about? Nothing was shown. Looks like any other Mario level.

I wouldn't bet on that. There could be a wireless HDMI dongle or something.

What the what? I saw nothing above regular splatoon visuals.

Yeah, same here.  A bit miffed that the functionality seems to be so mundane though.  Where are all the zany unique features?

That was TGS 2005 if I'm not mistaken.
