Support NeoGAF

[Ricker]

''Every kid,every Human,every person will be playing this...''

I love the genuine enthusiasm of Fallon,that was also a great spot for Nintendo...and that Myamoto thumbs up/down turn gif,lol seen it about 20 times already this morning for headlines about the Switch.

 

[Coreda]

Sooo like your average gaf member then?

On fucking point.

 

[PrimeBeef]

Worked for Wii U.

If the WiiU wasn't named similar to the Wii, it may have been a different story.

 

[VistraNorrez]

Having non-gamers cheer for franchises and Nintendo, especially considering how many years it has been since Mario and Zelda first launched, has to feel great to Miyamoto. I think all artists want is to know their art has lasted and continues to affect people. I'm happy for him.

 

[moggio]

I thought to myself, 'not even people in NeoGAF could trash this cool presentation'. I was wrong, of course.

Well, I mean, it wasn't really a cool presentation.

It's got Jimmy Fallon in it for a start and we didn't really see anything new (gameplay wise).

It wasn't really for us though, it was for the sort of plebs who watch The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and don't necessarily follow gaming news.

Do the JoyCons have analogue triggers ?

 

[kmag]

Hmm, the screen didn't look too hot. Even considering it's off-screen footage, the backlight looks quite cheap, as in "chinese tablet" cheap. Hope it's just a prototype screen.

But who am I kidding, I will buy it regardless.

While the screen probably isn't going to be top notch, it's hard to make determination about it being viewed under television studio lights.

 

[Diprosalic]

Wasn't there a rumor/thread about 10M+ Units being made by launch?

It was first year.

 

[Scrawnton]

Do the JoyCons have analogue triggers ?

Yes they do.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

So where is the Mario demo? Still not available for me.

 

[OryoN]

Now I need to get myself into situations where I can use this.

The framerate is fucking gross, by the way.

Lol, seriously? Seems like you're rather seeking an opportunity for someone to use it (the gif) on you instead.

 

[LelouchZero]

Oh man this console is amazing!

 

[Baleoce]

I like that better than 90% of the jaded cynical a-holes on neogaf. Excitement is positive and healthy.

Yeah I agree with that last sentiment. It's good to get excited about these things. I'm really glad it was given that kind of platform to show it off as well. Fallon was a good choice.

 

[MrCunningham]

I am late to the GIF party.

 

[BBboy20]

And it's so good! Must be so cool to jam with Miyamoto.

Legendary musicians secretly freaking out that a legendary developer is playing with them.

Wait what EZA episode was this lol?

Makes me excited for the Switch.

What is this from?

It's only playable in Apple stores

 

[RootCause]

Looked pretty good on the big screen. Viewing angles need some improvement. Jan 13 should be a fun day.

That Samurai Mario shirt... @_@

For the record, it's not his excitement that bothers me. It's the fact that it's fake as hell and way overplayed.

You mean to tell me he had no clue they had brought the Switch? Or that Miyamofo was sitting in his audience? Of course he knew. Which made his forced "OOOOOOOOOOOOH GODDDDDD THE FEELS!" just dumb. Play the fucking game. Say it's fantastic or whatever. But quit acting like they'd promised you free handjobs for life.

 

[The Elite]

I am hungry for this thing.

 

[DoubleYou]

Doesn't look like anything to me.

[Servbot24]

I guess you'd be ecstatic too if you had the chance to meet your childhood heroes and be one of the first gamers to put your hands on the "next big thing", and getting paid a shit-ton while at that.

He does this for every guest. It's his "thing".

 

[SomTervo]

That'll do, DoubleYou.

Yeah, I liked how excited he was about Trump too.

 

[rdytoroll]

This thing will sell like crazy. Good thing they're heavily advertising already

 

[colinp]

I mentioned earlier but the thread is moving too fast, it's a play on words with the title Super Mario Run...
The kanji is 'ran', which happens to be the title (and same kanji) of a classic samurai epic by Akira Kurosawa (based on King Lear).

"Ran" (&#20081 means rebellion, revolt or war. In Japanese, the English word Run would be pronounced the same as the kanji/movie Ran...

So Mario is wearing a samurai outfit as a subtle and funny nod to a Kurosawa classic which kinda sorta shares the same name.

His overacting detracted from the demo - any other person would have wanted to show off the main gimmick of the console, instead he wasted time shield-surfing.

 

[Council Pop]

oh god, i just checked and there's no major Mario game at the Switch's launch.. that can't be good. Zelda is a great series and all but i don't think it has the same mainstream appeal as Mario.

I'm not sure what you "checked", because all sources are pointing towards a big Mario game at launch, with Splatoon, a Mario Rabbids RPG, Skyrim, and some other Wii U ports at the very least.

Also Zelda is unlikely to launch until the summer. So unless you have a source more reliable than Eurogamer/Laura Kate Dale/Emily Rodgers, you're wrong.

Ahhh, wonderful. Thank you... =)

 

[Lutherian]

Framerate of what?

His brain. Barely 10 FPS.

Nah, I've always found his positivity with video games endearing. I remember when he got to play Goldeneye 64 against Pierce Brosnan a few months back. He was loving it xD

 

[colinp]

You're welcome.

 

[Caelus]

Wow, that transition from docked to portable was pretty quick and easy. Sick. The device itself is so sleek! I can definitely imagine playing this on a commute.

 

[PrimeBeef]

Tbh I think it's probably a quick port to the Switch with a locked 30 FPS rather than substantial graphical improvements, but whatever, I'm fine with that and it was to be expected.

Thought I read BotW wild being developed with both systems in mind not necessarily a port.

 

[Interfectum]

Switch is going to be huge. Nintendo is firing on all cylinders right now between marketing and the system itself. If they don't botch the January reveal this thing is going to be sold out everywhere.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Totally unexpected, i'm wondering if it's running at 1080p on the big screen.

Nintendo console selling out doesn't mean anything.

If they could reach 40m lifetime I think that'd be pretty great

 

[wild wild rice]

That thing is the sexiest looking Nintendo console of all time.

Oh my god, I NEED this shirt.

 

[HubbaBubba]

I was fine with fallon's performance. It was like most youtubers but less annoying.

 

[marc^o^]

By DS/3DS standards, that would be bad.

Knowing their studios will focus on this single machine, they probably have bigger ambitions.

 

[MADGAME]

Ah, so THAT'S what the 2 holes on the back are for!

 

[Ultra Numb]

Launch this system at $250 Nintendo. Do it.

It has the potential to be fucking huge.

 

[patientx]

720p, 60 fps capture of the part.

https://mega.nz/#!Fc0hAKaC!aX8XR98HuFaRfSO2hLsUeTLP6Q1Ly2FfO-nIlBqFwjM

Edit : Emphasis on the "capture" part. Meaning this video is 60fps. Don't know the games actual fps.

 

[phanphare]

performance looked good when it was in portable mode

man, that system is sexy

 

[MysteryQuesadilla]

This might be the best PR a company could hope for. I was sort of on the fence about Mario Run but man, Jimmy Fallon's goofy enthusiasm has me sold.

Thanks for proving my point.

 

[ThanksVision]

BETS this will be nintendo's second highest selling home console.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

It's only playable in Apple stores

Cheers, for a moment I thought Apple stores is equal to AppStore.
