Are you exicted?
I'm interested in seeing what this NX is...but I'm also waiting to see what SJW Asshole Jim Sterling is going to say.

Why would you think Jim Sterling is an SJW? I've been watching him for a few months now and he doesn't seem like one to me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Be honest? I never liked the way he gives his thoughts on subjects. The way he does makes it look like he thinks he is better then everyone else. To me, if you are going to be a video game journalist like he "claims" to be, then you have to be professional in the job, and not making fun of every piece of gaming news out there.

Him in his Jimquisition videos is mainly an act. In his gameplay videos he's a pretty down to earth dude. He does make fun of a lot of stuff but he also makes a lot of very valid points. He's not just there to provide info like a journalist would (I'm pretty sure sure he doesn't think of himself as a journalist), he's also there to be funny.

That does not even answer why you'd think of him as a SJW. He is what he is, if you like him, cool, if not, oh well. But claiming he's one means that you probably watched a couple of his videos, got pissed, and now you call him something unrelatable to the public that he joked about once. Again, like him or not, but he shits on SJWs as much as on Konami. Saying he's one of them is just bold and idiotic.

His style is more of one where he's realised people like his style of giving reviews to games so that's the way he works rather than try to be too impersonal with the way he does things, games reviews are more of a personality driven thing these days. Which is more of a 'man this gaming industry is strange isn't it?' kind of way of doing things, which it is really.

How can you say that he is SJW when he is always criticizing SJW behavior? Like, for example, he did this one month ago in Oh Virginia! video. Also, he already did video with his thoughts about Nintendo Switch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXCHg6cnA30

You don't like him, fine. Though calling him an SJW is just a petty try to insult him on the base that you don't like him. Jim speaks his mind and is not afraid of the consequences in doing so and that why he has a quite big following

Jim Sterling is an awesome guy, I always laugh and have a good time watching his videos.

OK...so maybe he's NOT an SJW...I still don't consider him a good YouTuber. He just comes off, even though it's a character, as someone who thinks he's better then everyone.

Jim Sterling is lower than the shit on my shoe.
I wouldn't piss on him, if he was on fire.

HOLY-
When I saw the title, I thought it was a troll post. Clicked it... Saw the NoA twitter link and my heart immediately fluttered. Thank you for bestowing this excellent news upon me during a boring night of studying.

I saw the info in my YouTube feed and I had the same reaction.

It's about damn time. I don't know what they were waiting for. I mean the system is supposed to launch in March and you need time to build up a marketing campaign and interest in it. Anyway, we've had to endure months and months of rumors so now we will see how much of it was correct.

Right when I wake up! I might be late to work tomorrow...

Won't buy it, but I'm happy that there's still some diversity in the gaming industry so I'm wishing it well.
Comment has been collapsed.
I probably wouldn't buy it, but I hope Nintendo does well this time, seems they had interesting prototypes for the NX. Still I'm from the PCMR.

inb4 its nothing but a hype package for NX and they announce a date for a REAL NX announcement via DIRECT.

For what it's worth the last couple of Nintendo Directs (excluding E3 as it is a special case) for the North American and European regions have both been on Thursdays if that means anything...

Heres hoping they make a 2D mario game that rivals Super Mario world! Whos with me.. eh? eh?

Yeah the name is not confusing like the Wii U was :P

+1
I really don't give a shit if it's upscaled 1080p as long as it runs smoothly (preferably 60fps) and they keep releasing high quality exclusive games! And welll... PRICE of course, but if this is the next step of Wii U and 3DS then I am more than hyped.

It looks nice but with all that switching, I'd be worried about the durability of the pad contacts. Unless it's 100% wireless, even when connected to the small screen.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll only buy 50% of it. Then I'll buy the rest of the handheld in the future

Another gimmicky underpowered console that won't have any new AAA 3rd party games.
Comment has been collapsed.
We already know that there will be a lot of third party support.
Comment has been collapsed.
That only means it will have some games from third parties, doesn't mean those games will be AAA, the platform can't run current big games. Your first clue should be RDR 2 not being announced for it, or any other big game for that matter.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am thinking the same, but I expect it to have some new AAA games with subpar graphics that I would rather play on PC anyway. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You play on PC for the best 3rd party experience. You buy a console for their exclusives, and Nintendo has the most solid portfolio of exclusives across a lot of different genres, wish them the best with this innovative gamble they are taking, sure seems quite better than just the Wii U gamepad :]
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not remotely innovative, tablets with attachable controllers have been done before, this was just has a dock too, probably just wireless mirroring or a glorified holster with a HDMI connection. And their portfolio is tiny, same Zelda and Mario games again and again, plus the usual Mario Kart and Smash Bros and Mario insert random thing here, their lineup isn't enough anymore, if it was the Wii U wouldn't have been such a massive failure.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but I bought a 3DS just to play Pokemon and Smash, those 2 titles alone would made me buy a Switch most likely since I spend hundred of hours with single player and Smash is the best multiplayer experience when I meet with friends.
And Wikipedia strongly disagrees with your "tiny" argument... and that's Wii U alone, the 3DS has even more. I haven't played Mario since the SNES but if I got my hands on a new Mario I would be psyched! I would love a new Metroid, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Star Fox, Zelda... even if the changes are small the franchises never feel old since they aren't COD with yearly releases.
Moving on, I suspect the dock has a beefier GPU and some memory expansion too, it will need to have PS4 (GTX 760) level of performance at least! And a price point between $300 and $400 if they want to succeed, if this truly is a fusion of a next gen Wii U+3DS then it's going to have a shit ton of exclusives to cater to all kind of gamers.

Stuff like Star Fox or Kirby don't have mass appeal, you can count their big money makers on 1 hand. If their stuff was enough the Wii U would have done a lot better, but it's not. This will definitely sell more because the gimmicks are more clearly explained this time and people are excited about the portability but sooner or later it's gonna run into the same problem: no AAA support from 3rd parties.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was citing my own taste in games actually, I don't know how much revenue they get from those franchises tbh but they keep going so they should do alright at least. And the Wii U sales are pretty good, 3 million above Xbox One, and the 3DS sales are huge which makes this "fusion" console the more interesting.
However you are right that this time the communication is far better, they have dozens of 3rd party support confirmed but if they don't get a hardware on par with PS4 and Xbone it will happen what you stated... but Sony and MS will continue support for both consoles since their newest will be current gen upgrades, so that's the key for Nintendo to keep the 3rd party support.

You know what ?
I'm going to treat this like a handheld/portable system first, console second.
For a big-screen system it looks to be gimmicky and underpowered again.

Battery life will probably be a problem, also I cant wait when somebody will lose half of the controller.

I think the console will be great. But I expected a bit more from the trailer/Switch. It is to soon to really tell. They will show more trailers later for sure.
I expected a bit more, i expected more creativity from Nintendo.
-in the beginning I expected a real dog playing with a Nintendo dog. More to be funny.
-When people drove those carts, I expected a special Mario Kart AR mode. Create your own tracks in real life. Showing records from others etc.
-I expected the Switch showed a map with all available challenges for certain games, like that Kart building.
-When the girl was playing Mario, I expected that the Switch showed a sort of notification that her friends where calling for her. But it seems that she is Psychic mind reader.
-Or mario jumping on the couch, another AR-mode
-I saw amibos at 2:25. The Switch doesn’t even show if it can do something with them, maybe another trailer later
-When people came together with 4 screens, I also expected Nintendo showed that those 4 screens became 1 more powerfull “Nintendo Switch”
-At the end they could have showed all the partners in one screen, just like their website https://www.nintendo.com/switch

it's just a reveal trailer, personally I loved it! Being so close to release I would assume everything they showed are real features and not just concepts (like MS did with Kinect for over hyping the damn thing), which to me it was pretty awsm!
Thanks for the website though, I didn't see it on the trailer and they should have pointed that out IMHO.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thats true.
Here is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ihmjYmDlw more of a Trailer Analysis
We wil just have to wait for Nintendo and other companies to show something.
Only the name Switch doesnt feel epic. They should have named it differently I think, something with the words (omni, epic, one, on the go, connecting, together, hybrid, fusion etc)

max. disappointed - but probably exactly what the current and upcoming generations will want ...

i don't like playing on handheld devices had the psvita/n3dsll ... barely ever played those (collecting a few games)
the entire concept shown, is focused on ditching desktop consoles and pleasing the "i play on my phone"-gen
Comment has been collapsed.
You can play it like a traditional console. Just put the tablet in the dock, take off the controllers, or maybe grab the traditional controller, and play games like a normal console.
