Nintendo announces their new console, the Nintendo Switch

Yesterday, Nintendo posted creepy Mario:



Blizzard responded with this:



Could be just a joke but HS for the Switch would be yuge...

Also approximate power level of the Switch:

PC = Beerus
Scorpio = SSJ God Goku
PS Pro = SSJ God Vegeta
PS4 = SSJ3 Goku
XBONE = SSJ2 Gohan
Switch = SSJ Goku
Wii U = Krillin

Hmm, reminds me of a rumour about overwatch on the nx (well, now Switch), that too would be killer for normies.

3rd party support could be much better than in the past. Since the Switch is using Nvidia hardware, I'm assuming Nvidia will also be responsible for the documentation. No more waiting around for Nintendo to send their engineers over.

The Switch also has active cooling, so it's possible that clock speeds will increase while the Switch is in docked mode.

The appeal is the first party library of Nintendo. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, Fire Emblem...

Well, nothing interesting for me so that might explain my indifference. :)

Huh... that's...

Huh.

I love my wii U, I use it almost daily since Netflix allowed the video to be shown on large screen and the handheld simultaneously, meaning I get some video with my sound from the other room now. I rarely ever play games on it though, but some of the games are really well done. if only PoE wasn't a thing...

Bump because the Switch presentation is in an hour.

I'm so hyped I will 100% be disappointed lol. I also miss Iwata ;_;

I quit playing Nintendo games the moment I hit puberty. I don't really see what the appeal is for anyone much past age 10. Healthy, developing cis gender males usually start to prefer more violent games around age 8-10. Speaking for myself, yeah, but that seemed to be how the rest of the "cool kids" were growing up.

I assume this is bait but if you're really interested in what makes Ninty games so special, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u6HTG8LuXQ
