Nintendo Switch: Reveal Trailer and All the New Details

This could be very smart of Nintendo - time will tell !!

cool concept, but it is seeming less appealing as more details emerge.

This console will stay 'switched off' in households after a few months of usage.

Nintendo fan boys will go crazy over whatever Nintendo puts out, be-it trash or not. Wii was great but Wii U was a complete failure. Get lost you fan-boys - your illogical response concerning the Nintendo consoles is disgusting and an insult to the gaming industry. Nintendo's 'new' consoles are not only horrendously under-powered but have very little support from third party developers (as always). Nintendo can absolutely do wrong just like any one of us. They have certainly done it before (wii U)!

Whatever happened to Nintendo just making a regular videogame console without gimmicks? Why would I share one part of the controller with a friend? What game would this idea work for? Stupid.

You can have a Tablet for 99 even cheaper than that, eventually it will not match PS4 or Xbox one in graphics capabilities, it's just the Wii U in a Tablet .

Doesn't even look like a Nintendo product...looks like a cheap tablet i broke a year ago. Didn't know you where gonna stop making consoles and start making tablets.

I had to chime in here. First off the 3 hour battery life is depressing. Next this thing is not kid friendly. You have a market dominating handheld...and you make it look like a 100 dallar tablet. Too many peaces...watch a kid under 10 lose a box of crayons. Too small watch a kid eat the joy cons...and watch them get lost under the fridge or in your couch. Then this cheap tablet is gonna get stepped on or drowned in sippy cup juice. Just gave up your main audience...i cant buy this for my daughter shes gonna lose or break it.

Smh all you had to do is take your market dominating handheld give it some controller ports and an hd cable...maybe not skimp the battery life like you did on the switch.

Bottom line for switch

It MUST realoy compete with one and ps4 in terms of games. It shouod have the same titles. Otherwise, only to play mario and zelda it does not compensate to have 2 consoles

great idea, love it

Skyrim mobile?

That was 2013 .

I have bought ever console/handheld since 1978, so I'll buy this as well

Meh, who cares handhelds. Only if you care 4.that it would be considered a better option then console. And still it has to compete with mobile

Tegra Processor.

I get it. It needs to be a mobile and stationary device. But it simply will NOT compete with the current console sets that are already overshadowing it in terms of raw power.

That being said, with both teams that were previously involved in both the mobile and the console space behind this, there is a chance Nintendo could pull off a miracle.

That being said, Nintendo leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to publisher adoption, future VR advancement, and game selection.

I really hope I'm wrong. I've always loved Nintendo, but this trailer does not inspire confidence that they can right the ship.

Looks cool, but nowdays we cannot have 2 game consoles, doesnt make any sense.

All other nintendos were 2nd options - to play fifa, pes, call of duty, gta among others we will need always a strong console like one or ps4

Switch will be a blast if it intends to be your 1st option, otherwise, will keep this ok way

Very impressed. But the games will be the deciding factor on whether to buy it or not for me. I've already played the crap out of Skyrim on PS3 and PC and I'm not a Mario or Zelda fan.

Lame

So if my parents tell me to turn off the Switch then I tell them which one?

Honestly, watching that trailer makes me think this is *more* gimmicky than either the Wii or the Wii U!! All those different controller options? How easy will it be to lose one component, and then you'll have to buy a full on replacement? Using those tiny little sub-controllers? That's going to be a development nightmare! So you have one controller with n buttons. Now, when you piece part it out, you've got n/2 buttons. How do you make a game that uses all of them...and then 1/2 of them in some cases?!

Seriously more gimmicky than the Wii/Wii U.

Sure...there will be the die-hard Nintendo fans that will go and buy it day/week/month one. But, I'm guessing there won't be a tremendous amount of 3rd party support for it. It'll be an "exclusives" machine...and that's about it.

They'll price this at a $300-$350 price point for the "stay at home" bundle...and then it'll be $100 to $150 for all the components to go "portable". And that's going to kill their up-take on it (of course, their base price will hinder that to begin with).

This will be another "fail" for Nintendo.

To many consoles released in small amount of time to get me interested.

Gonna have the ps4 pro and this sexy beast, really interested to see the specs considering its basically a tablet, looks like Nintendo are going in a really good direction.

I never have to stop playing video games ever again

I buy every Nintendo system, so I will buy this too.

Iwata's swan song.

i need to get a lot more details on this before i even start to think about purchasing one.

can i lay the docking station on its side (and leave the tablet thing in it without having to remove it to insert games or anything, treating it purely as a console) & put it in the cupboard that holds all my horizontally laying consoles? (No room for it if it can only be left standing up as in the video).

price of games & consoles.

how does it store data & how much of an issue is storage space going to be if its reliant on some sort of sd cards for downloaded content?

i'd like to know battery life but to be honest i don't like handhelds so i'll be buying this only as a home console that will sit in my tv unit cupboard (providing it can be laid horizontally, no room for it if not).
