Watch Jimmy Fallon play Super Mario Run and the Nintendo Switch
It was a very Nintendo-flavored Tonight Show, as Reggie Fils-Aime treated Jimmy Fallon to some exclusives.
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon played host to a few gaming experiences this evening. Reggie Fils-Aime guided him through a play session of Super Mario Run on iOS, as game director Shigeru Miyamoto sat in the audience watching the display. Fils-Aime also announced during the session that a Super Mario Run demo will be available at Apple stores starting tomorrow (December 9).
But that wasn't all. The company also took the opportunity to show off the upcoming Nintendo Switch, with a brief demo of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As Fils-Aime noted, this was the first time the game running on Switch had been broadcast to TV, and the titular switch from console to handheld looked pretty seamless. Take a look.

wow zeldas framerate looked really good undocked ...fuk
I know it's cliche to say but this might be a game changer-
-
Definitely not 60fps. The video itself is displaying at 30fps. And Nintendo has never made a 3D console zelda that runs at 60.
-
-
Not sure what was going on with the Wii U footage. I'm hoping that was just early alpha bugginess and not indicative of the final frame rate.

Also, the gamepad Reggie was using seems fine: https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--34Sfr1wR--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/h2nep7v8huvyxon4qwya.png

It's not dumb, it's just wayyyy too small. That thing has "hand cramp" written all over. It's gonna be a problem for a lot of people.

Nintendo is one of the more brutally honest companies out there for better or worse.
They said what happened with the Wii was that most console cycles sell a ton over Christmas and then not so much the rest of the year. They use that rest of the year to stock up consoles for the next holiday season.
Wii was an anomaly because it never stopped selling. Between every bar and old folks home who wanted to have a Wii Bowling Night and every household who wanted to do the same the demand never waned, exasperated by the scarcity.
It's been a decade since the Wii launch so hopefully they've figured out a few tricks since then, like how to farm out more temporary manufacturing.

Ouch, although after the Wii U I kinda understand. Going to be preorder this one.

The Pro Controller has a d-pad: https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--34Sfr1wR--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/h2nep7v8huvyxon4qwya.png
ABXY on the left Joycon will function as a d-pad instead. They split it up into buttons so that it can be used for local two player when it slides off.-
-
-
-
Rumor has it that there will be a $249 and $299 sku but that the $299 sku includes more on device hard space and Splatoon.
-
-
For the Switch or the U? I agree with the former but not the latter.
In any event, I just realized I don't know what the standard "controller" is (or looks like) when the Switch is docked at home. I went back to the video and Reggie was holding - iirc - a Pro controller...which is a funny thing bcs it won't be included in the base system.-
The switch, of course. The U doesn't matter to them any more. The price of entry is key for any system, but especially Nintendo ones.
If you want to see what the standard controller looks like while docked, it's featured prominently in the video. It's sitting in front of the system on the little table there. I think it's not totally clear if they're going to the plastic holder/handles for the side pieces, but it would seem crazy not to.

Originally that was the claim, but there have been rumblings of a slight delay. No one knows for sure.

The grass looked way better in that video than in other Zelda videos. So it at least confirms all the other videos were using the WiiU version.

Everything seems to be in flux now. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Switch Pro in a few years that would let you play the games in 1080p in handheld mode and 4k on the TV. Or at least a version with a bigger battery.
If the switch is a hit and if the ARM x86 emulation works and Microsoft gets Win10 running on it I wouldn't be surprised to see an XboxOne handheld in a few years that will run Scorpio games.-
-
Yeah, at first I believed Nintendo would buck the new trend of half-step consoles. I thought about it and realized they more or less started that trend. What were the Game Boy Pocket, the GB Color, the GBA SP, the DS Lite, and the (New) 3DS XL if not revisions?
Where Nintendo should tread lightly is their (admittedly rare) habit of excluding users running old hardware. The N64 memory expansion, and 3DS software that requires New 3DS hardware to run, are two examples. They'll have to think carefully before asking consumers to upgrade Switch in, say, 3-4 years. It should be a slow transition, if it should happen at all.-
I'm betting that the next one allows pushing the image to a TV wirelessly, maybe with a dongle. Also possible it would allow for dual screen gaming from one device.

I love Nintendo and their are the only consoles I buy. I think Switch is OK and I'll buy that most definitely.
What I don't get is the excitement over that Zelda game. I mean we did stuff like that 12 years ago in World of Warcraft. Is it the specific universe of Zelda that's getting people excited because they never had a Zelda game like that?
I admit I was never a huge console RPG fan because I prefer tor play those games on a computer.-
BotW, from what I've played, owes at least as much to Far Cry 2, Portal 2, Half Life 2, and Dark Souls as it does to MMOs or RPGs. Emergent gameplay from physics and environmental systems instead of canned animations when you solve puzzles is a big thing.
Its also worth noting that the Zelda landmass is supposed to be about seven Skyrims large, or almost the entire size of Tamriel if they ever made an Elder Scrolls game with the entire continent.

Jimmy either has a real bad case of the drunk shakes or he is legitimately excited for it which is neat.

At least when in the controller mount the JoyCons look sort of like a derpy dog?

The WiiU isn't exactly whimsical, and even if you got one with a design, the design is only on the game pad.

This source has come up with reliable stuff in the past: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1323139
Final dev kits started going out a few weeks ago. They are aiming for 3DS battery life of 5-8 hours on the release Switch hardware. If that's the case then it would indicate that shipping hardware is running on the more efficient Pascal rather than Maxwell that's in dev kits.
Please be true-
5-8 would be incredible if true. Even just 5 hours would be impressive and could handle every use case I can think of.
-
-
They're making a Box Boy Amibo.
-
-
-
-
-
I hope that guys is wrong about the final kits not being any different in hardware specs. As far as I know, the old dev kits have a Maxwell-based Tegra. If the new one isn't upgraded, that means it won't have Pascal.
-
I thought Nvidia already stated that it uses the latest tech.
-
The never explicitly stated Pascal, and it was confirmed that early dev kits were using Maxwell. So we'll see.
-
-
-
-
So what are the chances that Nintendo is really gonna fuck up on making the Switch have a web browser and other mobile apps for use in touchscreen tablet mode?
Pretty fucking high, considering it could be used for a lot more than gaming on the go, even with the weaker battery life.
I am still there day 1 (or whatever day based on when it ships to me based on stock) -

I'm pretty sure "what's inside" is exactly along the lines of what you described and Nintendo has no shame in admitting that. That's always been their thing.

I've got about 40 Wii U games, I think I will be fine.
-
-
I'm counting eShop, so it's probably about the same.
-
-
-
Rumor has it that Dark Souls 3 runs fine.
-
-
-
I think I remember hearing Nintendo state that the specs were "near" ps4/xbox and definitely not surpassing them.
-
No, they said industry leading. But, they never really qualified in what way or which industry. I could see how they make that claim about a tablet/mobile device rendering console quality on a tv would be industry leading. Yeah we've got the Android game box stuff, but the rendering quality is still firmly in mobile quality.
Basically it's all in the marketing, right?-
OK, well whatever it ends up being I don't really care! I have a PS4 and PC for everything else, I'm really just interested in the Switch for Nintendo games and whatever 3rd party games end up delivering something exciting specifically built for the platform. If they have to make a less powerful console to get the costs down then I'm all for it. I'm not interested in a $600 console right now.

How on Earth is current gen console performance with a handheld pathetic?
Its a portable that can play third party games that are on those systems. More importantly (because almost everyone else sucks anyway) it'll have every Nintendo game going forward since there are no more separate handheld/console development teams anymore. -
come on man there's a difference between powering via battery and a big fat juicy power plug
an iPad is like $600 and it doesn't touch the ps4
-

It's hard to say because it almost certainly is not running at full power when in tablet mode. I've read a lot of rumors, essentially it's the latest Tegra. On the high end it's near XB1 when docked. The low end is somewhere around what you said. The rumors / leaks all kind of say it's more powerful than you think, but who knows what that means.
Another potential indicator is that Bethesda apparently said they wouldn't lower their standards to support it unless it was at XB1 level and they're now obviously supporting it with their lead guy saying it was the best demo he's ever seen at E3. -
Most of the rumors state it is at least around as powerful as an xbone. Some saying it is closer to a PS4. Although it supposedly only has 4GB or RAM so that could be a bottleneck there compared to the 8GB of the other 2.

Developers have talked about how easy it is to port PS4 games to the Switch and have it run on a surprisingly comparable level. Dark Souls 3 is running well on it. Nvidia has talked about how Vulkan and other such technologies that allow for optimization and performance are part of the deal.

For some reason dates are all screwed up when using non-deterministic future tense. See biannual/semiannual and biweekly/semiweekly.
-
yeah my wife always argues with me over this. me, on Thursday: "Lets go to dinner next Wednesday." her: "so in two weeks?" me: "no... in 6 days... the next upcoming Wednesday"
I usually say "Wednesday after next" if I meant the one after. I usually switch to "This Wednesday" when its the week of (like the Monday before).
I argue the same points about "take the next left". When she's driving though and I say turn left at the next light, sometimes she will go "so... the light after this one?" I don't get it.

I know what you mean. If I wasn't unemployed, I would have grabbed one of the PS4 bundles on Black Friday from Target when they did that crazy 15% off stunt.
But for a system launching in March of 2017, you'd probably have to wait until holiday 2018 for a bundle like that. Unless it's just not selling, then you won't want it regardless.
I may just be feeling nostalgic lately (more than usual I mean), but I'm kinda excited about a new Nintendo system. I wasn't excited at all for the Wii U, but for some reason the Switch is really getting me interested again.-
I feel the same way you do. I don't like the Vita or the 3DS because the screens were too small for portable play. So this has a bigger screen that I think will mostly solve that problem, especially since it has a kickstand and I can set it up on a table. Plus consolidating all the Nintendo titles onto one platform. That alone gets me excited.
The tiny little controllers on the side look awkward to use but the pro controller solves that issue nicely. And for simpler games, I'm sure the Switch controllers will work just fine.
Nvidia and Nintendo are both making very smart choices teaming up like this.
-
-
Reports indicated that Nintendo pushed back launch of the Switch in part to make sure they have a large selection of titles available right at launch. I'm hoping that's the case.
-
-
Oh, yeah, I was right about Mario Run. Looks like it plays exactly like the Rayman games. That's not a bad thing. I had a lot of fun with them, but I don't think I had $10 worth of fun.
One thing I found was key with Rayman was quick load times. I wanted to be able to see that I'm stuck in like at the grocery store, pull out my phone and get into a level in under 60 sec. Load times, I feel, are kinda the bane of all mobile games. If they aren't going to be full games, and more towards just time wasters, they better load pretty quick for the short spurts I have to wait for something. -

It could easily be = to a PS4 and it really should be. The reality is most likely it will not be :( I get that and know that.
Just voicing what I want from the Switch and expect from Nintendo at this point in 2017(well in a few weeks) the hard part is to accept that reality does not work like that or care what you personally want.
I am still hopeful, regardless of the most likely outcome. I loved the Wii U's software so if its at least double its hardware I will be happy, that is probably what it will be in the end.
Is it Jan 13 2017 yet :(-
-
I am not talking the portable mode's power I am talking about the Switches dock mode's power.
They could easily have the Dock mode at full power = to a PS4, I don't care about he mobile mode obviously that would scale down and be like the whole PS4 -> PS4 Pro or Xbox One to Scorpio setup.
Its not a crazy thing to ask for/expect from the Tegra X2 it can easily have two modes like this with different power consumption and performance profiles that is what it is designed for and why I am sure they picked it.
We will see hey, fingers crossed, it really would own if they pull it off.-
-
Word from people who have had their hands on the dock is that its a simple breakout box with a USB C connector that connects to the Switch and HDMI and USB outputs. It was designed to be simple and inexpensive. You'll eventually be able to buy multiple docks for the different TVs in your house if that's what you'd want.
The dock boosts power to the console unit but there is no processing that takes place in it itself.
-

-
Considering that Nintendo has specialized in getting good performance out of low grade hardware I'm going to say that it will be fine.
-
That's kinda my thought, especially if they want emerging markets like India. But, they hadn't said like it would work with an iPhone 4 or something.
I'm sure Android will have some issues going back very far. Maybe they can work to get support for 4.x, which seems to be the norm for most games.-
That's what I'm guessing, maybe as far back as 4.1 and iPhone 5s.
