Nintendo [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 14

Those might not be ports in all honesty. There was some new stuff in that Splatoon preview, so it could be a sequel.

 

My girlfriend texted me saying we will need to buy two LOL

 

I didn't recognize the Mario platformer footage? Didn't look like 3D World to me

 

Yeah that's definitely a new Mario as well.

 

Yeah. Definitely getting this.

 

the hype is so real. i'm happy

 

also, the MK8 had king boo racing so, an updated mario kart

 

I don't know why my mind went right to Mortal Kombat.

 

Because you're a normal person. My mind did the same.

 

Omg I need this.

 

Yeah the more I see that footage the more I want this.

 

i think it's an unspoken rule that you have to type out the whole title, MORTAL KOMBAT, so your brain knows to do the scream when it reads it

 

cue the house music

 

I don't think it does; they show someone popping in a 3DS-esque cartridge

 

From their press release:


In an introductory video released today (http://www.nintendo.com/switch), Nintendo provided the first glimpse of its new home gaming system and revealed that it is called Nintendo Switch. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.

At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch Dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock, the system will instantly transition to portable mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on an airplane, in a car, or to a friend’s apartment.

Gaming springs into action by removing detachable Joy-Con controllers from either side of Nintendo Switch. One player can use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each take one; or multiple Joy-Con can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options. They can easily click back into place or be slipped into a Joy-Con Grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, if preferred, the gamer can select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to use instead of the Joy-Con controllers. Furthermore, it is possible for numerous people to bring their Nintendo Switch systems together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.

“Nintendo Switch allows gamers the freedom to play however they like,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO, Nintendo of America. “It gives game developers new abilities to bring their creative visions to life by opening up the concept of gaming without boundaries.”

Has there been any mention of a price point yet? It seems like it's a little early but my girlfriend also was immediately like we need two haha

 

I've been reading comments and a lot of them seem to be mentioning somewhere around 300USD.

Not sure where they got that from though, so grain of salt!

 

Pretty smart business model that an hour after announcement they have people like us signing up to buy two consoles

 

holy shit this looks so sick. i definitely am more excited than i thought i'd be.

 

Looks amazing. And that new clicking sound is brilliant marketing.

 

i was thinking the same thing as i was watching that.

 

I'd easily drop $300 on that. I'm guessing around $350-400

 

This is gonna sell so well.
