And yet still not as crazy as the 10 month wait last year for any sliver of NX news we could get...

Babe 2 (the one Miller actually directed) is a masterpiece (in France the movie was very highly praised crittically). Retro making quality games whatever the genre confirmed ;-)
Yep, people are seriously comparing the switch to a chromebook. That's how bad it is.

But From Software will develop the sequel as a Switch exclusive.

That's like saying a PS5 isn't going to cost more than a PS4
Glad to hear the sequel will be easier.
It needs to be 250, any higher it won't sell. I don't think it needs to be 200 at launch, it should sell well at launch with 250 if it has a good line up. If it starts to slow down after launch they can lower it to 200 just in time for holidays.
So doc Mario?

Haven't heard much about it, but isn't there going to be a live orchestra at the show? Cause that's hype.
Seems like Amazon and Nintendo are over it becaue you can buy 3DS on Amazon. Also I personally doubt Switch will be BC with 3DS. 100% sure it won't be physically BC and I'm 99% sure digital 3DS games won't be BC.
Physically no. But I still have hope that they announce digital BC.

The fact that Eurogamer has been right until now, and seeing this price scares me. You're all ok with it but I'm not.
Anyway, enough complaining from me.
1. Almost definitely no but if there is a chance we'll find out in 6 days and 13 hours.
2. Yeah I think so.
The problem is Nintendo didn't make the switch to just fuck with their home console fans. They don't have a choice, they have to innovate for their new console. They cannot do a PS4/One clone.
200$/€ is the best we can hope for minimal price if they want to be very aggressive, Kimishima said they will not sell at lost. The rumored prices 250/300$ for the 2 sku are fine for what we are getting imo
Which is of course nonsense.
The reason it will cost more than PS4 is because the PS4 is over 3 years old and is multiple iterations into it's life cycle.

Man... I'm not getting any invites like this. I honestly would have been tempted about a week or so ago, but I live too far away to make plans like that on such short notice. Can't wait to see all the juicy hands-on impressions that pop up.
Nothing can.

Yeah...this has me a little concerned honestly. Im still hyped for this, but not $600 hyped.
Such a terrible disservice to what is actually a really good game.
I just don't understand what happened at that meeting. Who thought this was a great idea?

In terms of the invites, how does MyNintendo know where you are? The only indication I have is my timezone... is that enough?
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for a Chicago invite...

Wasn't there a rumor that they were gonna end the conference with another first party game (I think donkey kong or Mario 3D world?) and they changed their mind last minute and had to end it with that?

Dang... when was this? I'm really surprised they took pre-orders for so long. I have no doubts about their pricing, but I imagine they'd have problems fulfilling release day orders at some point.

It only has one screen, and according to everything we know about the system, all games have to be fully playable in both handheld and docked mode.
So very, very unlikely.

$250/300 is pushing it a bit for me since I'm paying for the screen and portability that I will rarely use being one who only games on the big screen and occasionally iPhone.
That said, I get what they're doing and realize they have little choice as they had to unify platforms. I strongly doubt I'll buy at launch regardless of price as I just don't have time for it then with Horizon (2/28) and Mass Effect (3/21), which are my top two most anticipated games of the year, out around its launch. So I'll play the wait and see game and see how it's selling, take more time to see if I really need it given how busy I stay with games on PC and PS4 etc. I still have my Wii U to play Zelda if I don't make the Switch.
So we pretty much know this thing is launching the week of March 17th it seems. Will it release on a Sunday in the U.S. since both consoles and handhelds have historically released on a Sunday as far as I can remember. I know they usually do Friday game releases so wonder if they will release on a Friday (17th) or that Sunday (19th) in the U.S.
I posted it half an hour ago.
It's an ok package but even at the time I just couldn't understand that it was a simple retail disc and not a platform for downloadable content. Could've been a great side dish to the bigger games to have this expandable park with Nintendo franchise-themed small games.
Tegra X1 is also 2 years old tech at launch.

Same here. If a pro controller and a game were packed in for AU$450 I'd be fine, but costing around AU$600 (we're almost the same) is too much.
I don't know, but I was in the audience at that time and it was the most mind boggling thing to end on. My wife and I were looking at each other trying to figure out what they were trying to actually do. Ended up being nothing and we left. Probably one of the most disappointing conferences I've been to and I've been to a bunch. I guess the upside is that I can say I was there in person....
Yeah, 3DS is getting a little long in the tooth now and well the Wii U was pretty poor otherwise.
Switch will bring some excellent experiences to the table. Portable HD Monster Hunter with physical controls on the go? Sign me up.

Where in the city is that?
"So here you have The Switch, with no Zelda in EU, many Wiiu ports at the incredible price of 60 bucks but that 's not all
We have one last surprise for you...SRP 299$/!"
BOOM

I'm okay with the 3DS era ending after I treck my way through Dragon Quest VIII. In my heart, though, 3DS will never die.

I wonder if they will have Switch units to demo or on display.

I wonder how many JP-only games will be announced at the conference and how they'll handle that with people watching worldwide.
Will they avoid focusing on JP-only or JP-first releases, or will the initial need for software make it a non-issue and mean most of them get localised and surprisingly quickly?
