  1. "Nintendo Literally Switched The Super Bowl" – Kotaku The theory goes that the Falcons had a 99% chance of winning the Super Bowl with a 28-12 lead before they ran the Nintendo Switch ad and everything…switched. Discuss.
  2. Nintendo is showing a new ad during this Sunday's Super Bowl LI. For those of you who don't watch football (like myself) here's the ad now: And here's the Extended Cut:
  3. If you pre order Breath of the Wild for Switch or Wii U at GameStop you'll receive this breathtaking poster... Link: http://www.gamestop.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-nintendo-switch/141904#bonusFeatures *in spoiler do to size* OMG! That shit needs to go on my wall! Though I can't help but feel it looks like an in-store promo poster for the game, with the Switch, ESRB rating, and "Also available on Wii U" being on there.
  4. Nintendo president Kimishima is expecting the Switch to sell as well as the Wii did. Link: http://gonintendo.com/stories/273166-nintendo-president-kimishima-expects-switch-sales-to-reach-wii-le Also, he's considering a true successor to the 3DS. He says he sees the need and a market for one. Link: http://gonintendo.com/stories/273175-kimishima-considering-a-3ds-successor I hate to say it, but I don't think the Switch will come close to Wii Numbers. Sure it will sell very well (way better than the Wii U), but not as well as the Wii. The Wii just came out at the right time and was a concept that everyone could easily pick-up on. Most of those "Wii gamers" have long since moved on to mobile. God bless the man for believing he can get the Switch to Wii numbers, but don't get your hopes up, Kimishima-san. As for a true 3DS successor, I think the Switch is the next evolution for Nintendo, especially after the Wii U and since there isn't much of a market for a dedicated gaming handheld anymore thanks to mobile. Once the Switch takes off, I think they should just let the 3DS slowly die in peace.
  5. That's a lot less than what you pay annually for PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live.
  6. TumbleSeed is an upcoming action game from developer Benedict Fritz, designer Greg Wohlwend, and publisher aeiowu. Players navigate a procedurally generated level filled with holes and hazards and must push the seed to the top of the mountain. The controls make this a little more complicated than it seems though, as you can only control the vine that the seed rests upon. Balance is key to navigating the game's obstacles and tumbling your way to victory. The game will soon make its way to the Switch and take advantage of the unique HD Rumble feature to give players a realistic sense of the seed's speed and movement. Publisher aeiowu writes: "The Nintendo Switch is the only game console available that can provide this experience and TumbleSeed aims to be the console's flagship title for HD Rumble." The game is currently slated for release in Q1 2017 and will also appear on PC, Mac, and PS4. Source **************************** I actually got to see a bit of TumbleSeed in person at last year's PAX West and the game is pretty neat. It has kind of an arcade vibe and the colorful look really belies how tricky it can be to move the seed effectively. Adding HD Rumble to the mix seems like a great idea; I hope it really makes the game come alive.
  7. For those who want a direct connection, the LAN adapter has gone up for preorder on Amazon for $30 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6S068R/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_pQ2JybBJVPVTH&pldnSite=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=nintendoeverything-20&linkId=4751f07dc7e123c8a1e7b2fc0538c37d
  8. I've seen mixed opinions on it. I personally think it's alright. It looks like it'll eventually be a pain if you have several games stored on it though, folders would be appreciated. I remember Nichalis sharing a version of the menu with a dark backdrop, so hopefully there can be an option to have themes.
  9. Rather than following up on X's cliffhanger ending, it appears that Monolith are going for an original story. While the presence of a planet-sized giant and a red sword with a glowing crystal in its hilt brings to mind the two titans and the Monado from the first game, the setting seems to be much more fantasy-based, with no sci-fi elements seen yet. More importantly, the character designs are being handled by Masatsugu Saito, a hentai artist who also did Celica's DLC artwork in Fire Emblem Awakening. Discuss.
  10. This comes from a recent Le Monde interview with Eiji Aonuma... That's kind of disappointing that there's no themed dungeons, but it's not really a deal-breaker. I guess with the open nature of the game and this new info, they really are going back to a more original style like the first game on NES, especially since it was Zelda's 30th in 2016.
  11. So as I mentioned in the MK8 thread, I was thinking of selling MK8 for WiiU since I'll probably get the DX version on Switch. I checked the going rates on eBay and kijiji, and since my fiancee is out shopping with her sister today I got her to check in the trade-in value on the game at EB Games (along with a few others I never play). Anyways, it seems that from now until February 26th, any trade-in that's put towards a Switch preorder gives you DOUBLE the trade-in value. So where my Mario Kart 8 has a value of $25, either for store credit or towards Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (which is what I WAS going to do), if I put the trade-in towards my Switch preorder, it'll put $50 towards the system. Food for thought for those that put the minimum down on their preorders and have games they're looking to sell/trade. *Still check with your local retailer (especially if you're in the states and it's a Gamestop) beforehand.
  12. Once again coming Aonuma-san himself... Man, this is disappointing. I feel like they should have done something to take advantage of the Switch's features to really make people want to get the Switch version over the Wii U version besides, running/looking better and being portable. This is almost like putting Twilight Princess on the Wii at launch and not including motion controls. Now that I think of it nether the Wii U or Switch version will have anything that really uses the system's features, since they took out the gamepad's touchscreen controls for the Wii U version. Oh well...
  13. This was actually announced a while ago but now we know what games will be available to demo. Plus you can demo the Switch in a fake airplane so that's...something. Anyone here going to PAX South this year?
  14. Nintendo Poland apparently posted all of this. Shine Thief (?), Coin Runners, Balloon Battle, Bob-omb Blast, and something involving Piranha Plants Inkling Girl and Isabelle are entirely new, that might be it. Presumably you can use all other amiibo that were originally compatible with the original Mario Kart 8 as well. Oh and yes Miis are still in the game in case there's anyone who doesn't know.
  15. This would make since with the open nature of the game and how you can do things in any order. I'm curious as to how far they will go with this.
  16. So I was thinking about this the other night on everything that comes with the Switch when you buy it. This is comparing the US prices of everything. That includes: The Switch Console The Dock AC Adapter HDMI Cable 2 Joy-Cons w/ Straps Joy-Con Grip All for $299.99. Now there were people speculating on a possibility of a "Portable Release" version of the Switch which wouldn't include the Dock. So I did some math with the retail prices of all the accessories. Now I know they won't mash-up because of a few differences and needing something extra for that type of release to make sense. So bare with me. We take the $299.99 price Take away the Dock, Adapter and HDMI Cable ($89.99) Take off the Joy-Con Grip ($29.99, or either lower that to $19 or $9 because of the pack-in Grip being different) And just for fun, take the Joy-Cons out ($79.99) Using the highest prices listed, the Switch by itself would be around $100.02, $110.02 (minus $19 grip price) or 120.02 ($9.99 grip price). Adding the Joy-Cons back would put it back to $180.01, $190.01 or $200.01 The only thing left would be a USB C charging cable. Maybe one with a wall charge but can also plug into a regular USB port. The lowest price I found for just a wall charger was $24.99. So I'll use that price. The three prices I came to are as follows: $205 (Rounded up to $209.99) $215 (Rounded up to $219.99) $225 (Rounded up to $229.99) So from all of this the conclusion I have come to is that I know how to do basic math. But seriously, I do know that the prices for the accessories themselves are rounded up to make a profit. This is using those prices to find an assumed price for the Switch and combining what it needs for that type of "Portable Bundle" to come to a price point. Other than the lowest one I came up with there ($209.99), I could see the lowest they could sell it would be $199.99. That bundle coming with: The Switch Console 2 Joy-Cons w/ Straps USB-C Wall/USB Charger So from all of this if you were interested in a "Portable Only Bundle" of the Switch, would you be fine with one of those prices? What price do you think Nintendo would go with out of the four? Discuss? P.S. My next Shantae video will be up within the next 30 minutes.
  17. Best News! http://enthusiast.gg/8947/switch-virtual-console-games-tied-to-account-not-system
  18. Nicalis appears to have accidentally leaked 1001 Spikes and Cave Story for Nintendo Switch. The game that is only half shown is called Hydra Castle Labyrinth.
  19. Just announced on Nintendo Treehouse.
  20. So they announced that Fire Emblem Warriors is not only coming out on Nintendo Switch, but will also release for New Nintendo 3DS systems at the same time this fall. Is anyone who was already looking forward to playing Fire Emblem Warriors on Nintendo Switch making any reconsiderations to play it on New Nintendo 3DS instead? Or both? How do you feel about the game also being developed for New Nintendo 3DS?
  21. So for the next mainline entry on Nintendo Switch, what would you like to see them do with the game?
  22. Looks like the Nintendo Switch will be lacking multimedia features at launch.... Link: http://gonintendo.com/stories/272120-switch-won-t-include-multimedia-features-at-launch Yeah, I know I could just use my Wii U for all this and if I wanted something more portable, I could just use my Nexus 7 tablet, since it's about the same size as a Switch. I feel like in this day and age, any internet connected device that connects to your TV should include this. Just give me my YouTubes, Netfix, and Crunchyrolls, ans we'er good....Oh, and don't for get the web browser, so I do't have to use the shit YT app. I assume these will all come at some point, but if they won't be ready for launch, just do what they did with the Wii U at launch. They had the icons on the main menu, but when clicked on them it said coming at a later date.
  23. TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo announced today that the new Nintendo Switch system will launch worldwide on March 3, 2017 at a suggested retail price of $299.99 in the United States. Nintendo announced today that the new Nintendo Switch system will launch worldwide on March 3, 2017 at a suggested retail price of $299.99 in the United States. (Photo: Business Wire) The system will include the main console, Joy-Con (L) and Joy-Con (R) controllers, a Joy-Con grip (to which two Joy-Con are attached and used as one controller), a set of Joy-Con wrist straps, a Nintendo Switch dock (which holds the main console and connects it to a TV), an HDMI cable and an AC adapter. Two stylish versions of the system will be released: a version with a set of gray Joy-Con, and a version with one neon blue and one neon red Joy-Con. Both versions will be the same price. “Nintendo Switch is a brand-new kind of home gaming system that offers a wide variety of play modes,” said Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima. “We will introduce the world to new experiences made possible by the unique characteristics of the Nintendo Switch hardware and the Joy-Con.” Nintendo Switch is a breakthrough home video game system. It not only connects to a TV at home, but it also instantly transforms into an on-the-go handheld using its 6.2-inch screen. For the first time, players can enjoy a full home-console experience anytime, anywhere. The screen includes capacitive multi-touch capabilities for compatible games. Battery life can last for more than six hours, but will vary depending on the software and usage conditions. For example, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be played for roughly three hours on a single charge. While away from home, Nintendo Switch can be charged by plugging the AC adapter into the console’s USB Type-C connector. The versatile Joy-Con offer multiple surprising new ways for players to have fun. Two Joy-Con can be used independently in each hand, or together as one game controller when attached to the Joy-Con grip. They can also attach to the main console for use in handheld mode, or be shared with friends to enjoy two-player action in supported games. Each Joy-Con has a full set of buttons and can act as a standalone controller, and each includes an accelerometer and gyro-sensor, making independent left and right motion control possible. Nintendo Switch also contains a number of built-in features that make it more interactive. The left Joy-Con has a Capture Button that players can press to take instant screenshots of gameplay to share with friends on social media. The right Joy-Con includes an NFC touchpoint for interaction with amiibo figures, as well as an IR Motion Camera that can detect the distance, shape and motion of nearby objects in specially designed games. For example, it can tell how far away a player’s hand is, and even if the hand is forming a rock, paper or scissors shape. Both Joy-Con include advanced HD Rumble, which can provide compatible games with subtle vibrations that are much more realistic than before. The effect is so detailed that a player could, for example, feel the sensation of individual ice cubes colliding inside a glass when shaking a Joy-Con. With HD Rumble players can experience a level of realism not possible through sights and sounds alone. Nintendo Switch makes it easy for players to stay connected. Up to eight systems can be connected for local wireless play. The player can place the system upright anywhere by using the built-in stand, then easily share Joy-Con for multiplayer fun away from the TV. The system will support online Wi-Fi multiplayer gaming. Nintendo also unveiled a new online subscription service that will begin with a free trial at launch. The service includes a smart-device application available in Summer 2017 that will let users invite friends to play online, set play appointments and chat with one another as they play compatible games. The fully featured paid service will be available in the fall. Nintendo Switch will be supported by world-class third-party publishers including Activision Publishing Inc., Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and major Japanese publishers. Some publishers, such as Bethesda Softworks, are joining Nintendo for the first time. Players can look forward to major franchises on Nintendo Switch such as EA SPORTS FIFA, The Elder Scrolls, NBA 2K, Minecraft and more. Nintendo Switch software will not be region locked. The unique capabilities of the console and Joy-Con have combined with innovations from past systems to create Nintendo’s most flexible, feature-packed video game system ever. This is demonstrated by the wide variety of unique games that were announced for launch day, this summer and into the 2017 holiday season, from both Nintendo and its third-party partners. From the engrossing open-air experience of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to the party fun of 1-2-Switch, Nintendo Switch offers something for everyone.

ARMS: Featuring a unique multiplayer fighting sport that lets players trade blows using extendable arms, this game includes elements of both boxing and shooting games, plus a new cast of characters.
