I can watch this all day... not on this site apparently...

What the Mario gif?

I just realised, from next year I will be away from a computer screen and tv for many hours, so this thing will actually get a lot of play. Especially for killing time between meetings. There better be a decent battery life, on par with the U high capacity battery.

Nintendo talks about the Switch Dock

"The Nintendo Switch Dock has been created so that it is extremely easy to seamlessly switch from playing games on a TV to transition into a portable mode," a Nintendo representative told IGN.

Nintendo continued: "The dock is not the main console unit of Nintendo Switch. The main unit of Nintendo Switch is the unit that has the LCD screen, which the two Joy-Con controllers can be attached to and detached from. The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system."

According to Nintendo, the Joy-Con controllers — named Joy-Con L and Joy-Con R — will be included alongside the Nintendo Switch system.

So no secret sauce? They are pretty careful with the wording there, saying that it's not the "main" unit. Then they say the docks main function is tv output. But it could be doing something to make the tv output video signal a higher resolution.

New theory from gaf, customizable detachable joy cons. So for some games you attach a controller with different buttons and a look. You can get GameCube attachements. And so on.

I like the look of Switch which is still a dumb name but it's better than Wii.

It has a very nice style to it. Sleek just like the other consoles. This seems to me like an improved Wii U concept....Its a Gamepad with the actual console built into it with an Xbox style pad as well.

Should be interesting to see what they do with it.

I remember the customizable controller was a big rumor before the Wii was revealed.

Not at all. Dirt poor.

Meetings with hookers.

Yeah I thought so. Hopefully they do a cheap left hand side Joy-Con (is this really what they're calling them??) with an actual D-pad.

And a glossy black one to match the colour of the main unit would help.

GAF seem 75/25 split between love and hate. Pretty good considering Wii U reactions.

I've seen rumours that there will be a base Nintendo Switch package for $299 and a bundled package for $399.

Soooooo... New Nintendo console...

__________________________

Gimmick? Check!

Lots o' ports? Check!

Impossibly long list of developers that will probably move on to the more lucrative mainstream Xbox or Playstation consoles immediately after the Launch Window? Check!

Legions of Nintendo fans that forgot the last Nintendo console launch and all of it's many false promises? Checkity Check!

__________________________

Gonna keep my excitement in check for now.

I sure hope that the Virtual Console on the Wii U directly carries over to the Switch so that all the games one has purchased on there can be immediately playable on the new system.

I have no excitement for it, but I like the concept so far. I don't like how the controller is removable from the screen, though. That is gimmicky. I'll just use it as a portable system. Hopefully the dock is an optional purchase.

Unlikely as the dock will also recharge the battery.

Maybe the games will SWITCH over.  Or maybe Nintendo will pull the ol' bait and SWITCH.

I don't trust Nintendo at all with digital purchases.

I am the exact opposite. I have no use for it as a portable so if I get one it will sit in the dock for its entire existence.

Bundled with what?

The rumoured different-flavoured joy-condoms?

I'm thinking $299 for the tablet-only, $399 for the tablet + Dock. I hope those are not the acual prices, though.

My guess would be that a bundle would probably be with the Pro controller, car brace, and perhaps a game. Maybe a larger amount of storage available.
