HEY SHACKNEWS!!!!!!! NEWS!!!!
-
No, this is a teaser for a teaser. The actual news hasn't happened yet.
-
Sorry, go back to watching the orangutan fling feces at the nice lady. That is news right?
-
It is. But it's not really note-worthy.

is it just going to be a trailer or a whole little press conference thing? If the latter I'm considering taking a half-day.

Nintendo also just tweeted it : https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/788900063833493504
-
Mario looks like he is excited!
-
-
Mario Universe - Online Co op Mario :)
-
YES! ^^^^^^ that would be perfect, but they need to make sure its optional coop and you can play in offline mode plus SP mode.
If they don't do what you just said they are crazy! Also what a prefect name Mario Universe you should run Nintendo :) I bet you would do an awesome job.
Super Mario Universe would cool too.-
I have been practicing my "Please Understand" and I run a company that is frustratingly slow at updating their technology... Hmm.

Excited like a creeper

Probably has a filthy Chattypics account.

Anyone think it's weird they aren't saying codename NX or something similar? Also going so far to use the hashtag #NX? I actually kinda like the name, and if they are getting away from the Wii branding (they totally should), then it seems like a pretty safe name to me.
Nintendo Experience?-

NEW Wii U 2
-
-
-
The name "Duo" was floated a few weeks ago. I actually like that name: it's immediately evocative of what the system is and can do.
-
-
Preview? That doesn't sound overly encouraging. That kinda sounds like they'll do a short 2-3min vid and that's it. No full press coverage with tons of details.
I'm really thinking Nintendo's seriously way behind schedule on this. I assume it's the games and not the hardware. They can't really wait much longer for the full announcement. I kinda suspect they have to do something in Oct or face the wrath of their investors. This is why we're getting a "preview" and not a full press conference.
FYI, their fiscal year ends in March. This is why the NX has to release in March, which means
1) the release date has to be in his fiscal year
2) could also mean that it'll have to release in early march to impact sales in the fiscal period
This is to say that the March date is probably set.
I can't see them pushing the full formal press event farther than mid Nov.-
Yeah, they have to do this because of their financial report next week.
They can dodge the press all they want but there is no dodging investors who want to know WTF Nintendo is doing for the next year. Saying "we're launching Pokemon Sun/Moon and Super Mario Run this quarter" isn't enough with the question of NX hanging over everyone's heads.

What makes you say its not a new platform?
-
-
Did they show any touch screen stuff? I don't think it's surprising the input methods are similar, and the same games is probably more down to them not being ready to show too much yet. We'll see.
-
-
-
it uses Cartridges from what I could tell so looks like a new platform to me

Well its pretty much as was predicted. Crazy looking thing tho! I'm intrigued.
-
-
In Japan, yes.
-
-
Holy fuck, I'm sold. GIVE IT TO ME NOW. It's perfect for the way my son and I play games.
-
Yep i'm in.
-
[deleted]
-
I skipped the WiiU so I'm HOPING this will be backward compatible with those games... In which case, holy fuck what a launch lineup!
-
It doesn't use any discs, it's not going to be fully BC. My money is on updates to their core MP games (SSB, Splat, MK8) and virtual console like re-releases for the more popular SP games. They've already been testing these waters with the Wii releases on the Wii U that work as their own app without having to take your system into Wii Mode.
-
That would work fine for me. I'm really only interested in a handful of Wii games so I would hope those few would be in the BC list.
-

-
What a strange looking thing.
-
-
Initial impressions are that this looks pretty rad and exactly what everyone predicted. Portable + home console, cartridges, love it. The fact that they are showing Splatoon/Mario Kart 8 has me hoping for either backwards compatibility or at least license upgrades. I don't want to have to keep my Wii U plugged in but I really like a bunch of my games for it so I'd like to continue to be able to play them without buying them again.
-
-
Yeah I imagine portable + dock + side controllers, then the pro controller is separate. Oh man so many questions argh.
-
[deleted]
-
-
Yeah it wouldn't be called the switch if the basic unit couldnt switch.

Skyrim came out in 2011.. I would have been more excited if they had shown fallout 4.
-
[deleted]
-
-
I'd guess it would be the remastered edition... would be odd for Bethesda to port the original XBox 360 or PS3 game.
-
Well the new hardware is Tegra based, i'm not really knowledgable, but a tegra device wouldn't be able to play ps4 / xbox level titles would it?
-
[deleted]
-
Huh, well if so that's exciting.

To me that's the biggest benefit for them. Being able to up their first party content.
-
-
Plus a complete unification of their studios onto one platform.

Do gamers at large really care about mobile gaming like that? It seems to me that this is good for little kids. They are on their tablets all of the time.
But aside from kids it's seems like the only games adults play while on the go are simple games from the App Store. We are too busy to engage in a full-on gaming experience while on the go. I would bet people are much more content to play any game that requires even a moderate time investment at home/on a couch.
The scenarios in the video just aren't going to happen with adults (Which is fine), but we are a bit part of their audience. You can exclusively use it at home of that suits you, but it seems like a misfire and waste of tech. And because the hardware is housed in a small tablet, it's going to be severely underpowered (as usual).
I hate consoles because I think in many ways they retard gaming tech progression, but Nintendo is the one console I'd consider, if they made something worth a damn. We'll see I guess, maybe this will be the best thing since sliced bread. I doubt it though. -
So is the screen required to be docked to play it on the TV, or is that just when it's charging? Because if it has to be docked, I guess we can say goodbye to the asymmetrical aspects of the Wii U :(
-
Did that ever prove to be that important? It had great potential but nothing much came of it if I recall.
-
Dude, for Mario Maker it's critical.
-
I didn't realise people played Mario Maker in groups in front of the tv.. I assumed people just uploaded to the internet to share their levels.
-
My friends and I play a game where we pick a stock level and then take turns trying to run through it. First person through it gets to add 5 "blocks" of items, then hands off the controller. Next person to complete the level (now with added blocks) gets to add 5 more. Repeat until someone has finished the level 5 times. It's a blast, and people get diabolical with their item choices.
-
That sounds cool, almost a bit like Ultimate Chicken Horse. Lets wait and see I guess.
-
Yep, that was the inspiration. We were at Magfest and wishing we had Ultimate Chicken Horse (wasn't out yet) when we came up with it. Actually prefer it to the real game now.
-
-
-
-
-
It was definitely severely under utilized, but some of my favorite Wii U games made use of it. Think of Mario Maker, do you now have to un-dock the system to design a level, then put it back to play it on the TV? Kind of shitty, and people can no longer easily design levels as a group. My friends and I actually made an Ultimate Chicken Horse style game out of that.
But yeah Nintendoland, Mario Maker, Rayman Legends, Affordable Space Adventures, Stealth Inc. 2, and Splatoon all made great use of the gamepad. Plus games like Zelda were improved by it with regards to inventory management.

Looks like it maybe SD based cartridges.
-
Yeah unless there is storage in both units, a larger backup drive in the dock and smaller flash storage on the portable. It could potentially shuffle titles back on forth between the device depending on what you've been recently playing.
Not quite sure if I trust nintendo to figure something like that out though.-
-
Yeah you're probably right. How big are sd cards these days?
-
-
-
-
-
The console also appears to be pretty large when portable, which is a "big" change (heheh) from previous portables. Can't fit in the pocket. I wonder if they gave up on that market since phones are kind of eating their lunch.

Wow that looks awful. Looks like another low powered, unsupported console by third parties just like the WiiU. Not falling for these gimmicks again.
-
-Its a mobile system.
-"unsupported" https://twitter.com/i/web/status/789105984966754304
also nintendo's first party lineup alone is usually worth the entry if you already own a pc.-
I mean the hand held games will be huge I'm just not understanding why they can't make a powerful console for once.
-
-
Understood but the WiiU was a sales failure. I thought they would learn their lesson making an under performing console. They may be okay because their integrating the handheld market into this console. Time will tell though.
-
Performance is not an automatic indicator of success. The PS2, Wii, and DS were the slowest consoles of their hardware generations and they are the three highest selling of all time.
The Wii U had many problems. The messaging was obtuse and confusing (is the gamepad an accessory for Wii?), very few devs put the gamepad to good use (Super Mario Maker, Nintendo Land, Rayman Legends, and Splatoon), and most important of all, the library took 18 months to come into its own.
The Switch will sink or swim based on how many games they make for the release window. Zelda is on it for sure, so that's a great start.

Yes. But, they should also consider going the Sega route and just get out of the hardware race. Although, this does put them in a very different category from gaming on a phone or tablet. Those controls will likely end up being a bigger difference maker than we're giving them credit for.
-
-
-
Among other things, Nintendo is responsible for:
Shoulder Buttons
Rumbling Controllers
4-player multiplayer
Motion Control
Wireless Controllers (Wavebird as way ahead of its times)
Thumbsticks on controllers (Sony added their analog sticks after the N64 came out)
Portable gaming (all the way back to Game & Watch)
Nintendo has absolutely shaped the video game industry and its technology as it stands today.
-
-
Sega went out of the hardware race because they were broke, nintendo makes a profit with every console sold. They have a reserve of 12 billion bucks thanks to the wii and the ds, every game they release sells in the millions.
They could bleed money for a century and wouldn’t need to go the sega route.
-

rumor is the tablet is only 720p.. likely run at 1080p when it's docked??

It will be exactly what it sets out to be. I don't need another contender with PS4 and Xbone and PC. I need first party Nintendo games delivered to my face with a low barrier to entry. The thought of taking said games on the go sounds like a blast too.
-
-
Interesting to note there are no kids in the video.
-
[deleted]
-
-
-
Well there's a large age gap of "kids". My son will be 6 when this comes out. He doesn't know it yet, but this thing is going to blow his fucking mind. He's in school right now and has no idea what a press release is or how things like this are announced. But sometime in the middle of March we will be in Target and this will be on display and he will be fawning all over it. Now a 12 year old is still a kid and yes, he's probably watching this video on his iPhone in the school's restroom for the 15th time right now.
-
-
That was my point, its been a long time since nintendo were that aware of which demographics they were reaching.
-
-
Kids would leak the info

Bloodborne is a Sony property so it won't happen. I'm sure there will be a Dark Souls "special edition" or something along those lines, though.

I'm guessing this will be on par with Xbox One? But then Scorpio and PSNeo or whatever will come out, and third party will suffer again? Not to sound negative but I feel like that's pretty obvious as that always happens with Nintendo.
So at best, this will play already released, older games - the newer stuff won't work unless downscaled (which no third party will do)?
I really don't care too much, I just want to play their first party games and have a PC and Xbox anyway.-

Devs have to design their games to work on the original Xbones and PS4s as well, so there won't be any problem if the Switch is as powerful as those consoles.
-

-
The controls in tablet mode seem uncomfortable
-
I think it looks great. I'm going to preorder one.
-
Nice design. Not holding out hope it will have much too offer outside some rehashed exclusives and ancient games however.
