I'm a PC gamer. I don't buy a console for graphics.. This is exactly what I want. A high end mobile device that also works as a console. And I also think your underestimating the graphics abilities. That is NOT the last gen Skyrim.
+Jake Leg. Yeah. I like the portable handheld idea of playing outside with other people that have it. It would be cool because it would feel like the old days on the N64 when people actually went to other peoples houses to play games with like 4 people. The difference is that you can do it both indoors and outdoors so there is some N64 nostalgia to it.
I mean kinda it has been done, but this allows a big range of cool ideas with the controller idea they got going. It honestly has me really hyped for what they will be doing with that. Its almost like the guitar hero accessories, bt with controllers and I really think that will improve gameplay significantly
Yeah, everyone's gonna want to develop games that run on ps4, and something about as powerful as the ps3, that's gonna work out well. This thing looks hideous, it won't even run 720p 40 fps, that's why the new zelda looks worse than shadow of the colossus, if this is anything near a ps3 the battery life will be garbage too.
This is exactly what I need. I have two kids and a wife who are very good at using the TV 24/7. To play the same games on the go as in couch potato mode ... that's a dream come true. What's not to like about the nintendo switch? Sure, the graphics might lag a generation behind but I grew up in the 8 bit era. I can live with HD graphics. They're more than good enough.
I actually expect graphics to be worse than the trailer but that's fine. The wii was already good enough for me. If the switch has x360 grahpics, I'll be a happy gamer and father.
Watched Red dead redemption 2 trailer, Nintendo Switch announced, Battlefield 1 released and half term hoildays for 1 week just started. One of the Best days!!!
Pretty sure the Tegra chip is a new Pascal based one, so comparing it to the old shield doesn't really work anymore since that was the Maxwell version.
Wolt here's the problem, NVIDIA never really said in their Switch press release what architecture it is getting, also, i don't think the teggra chipset is actually based on its GPU architecture.
Matt James It probably is since nvidia recently revealed a new soc with paschal so they could've put a custom version of that. But its kinda hard to tell now though so we'll just have to wait and see.
I thought they said it is a custom chip running their latest architecture so I'd say it's probably more in line with the tetra x2 chip not x1 which should put the system somewhere between the Wii U and PS4
TheBlueSensei Exactly, pascal is their latest architecture so it should be on the switch. And seeing how powerful pascal is I would say its either as powerful as a xb1 or between the Wii u and xb1 just like you said.
Sameer Khanna I'm totally aware of that ! :) But, it's illegal for a company to show off something and then it not actually happen. It's false advertisement, and what they said was "We have nothing to announce at this time", they're most likely waiting for Skyrim Remastered to be released on PS4 and XB1 first. But, both Nintendo and Bethesda would get in trouble for false advertisement, I have two examples of this. 1: No Man's Sky, it's under investigation and in huge trouble for all the false advertising they did. 2: Suicide Squad, they showed a lot of footage that wasn't in the final movie, so they got in some trouble for that, I believe it's still under investigation. It's weird how it works, but it's not legal fro them to show something and then it never happens
charlie freeman Yeah I know that, but what I meaning to get at was how it was showed being played on the console. Toning down the graphics is a different story, but showing off something is completely different
Agreed. It may not be as strong as the XBox One or PS4, unless the rumor about the dock giving it more power is true, but the fact that I can take Zelda and possibly Skyrim on the go, it's great to me.
Why do people hate on this thing. I mean it appeals to the mobile market and the home console market. If you want a standard home console experience, then just keep the device at home. Not to mention graphics aren't the most important aspect. Zelda looks great and that sky rim remaster looks great too. If you hate it because it's by Nintendo, then stop thinking poorly of them, when they make some of the best exclusive games and care about giving something new to their customers. There are so many options with this device that it appeals to all and even the power is at Xbox 1 level. If you really think this console will flop, try telling that to 400k people who liked the initial trailer on Nintendo's TH-cam trailer.
Skyrim, Witcher 3... If they can fit Witcher 3 onto the Nintendo Switch, then by all means, fit the damn thing. But for mobility's sake, I could play a good RPG on long commutes.
Actually Bethesda claimed to not have officially agreed to port Skyrim to the Switch as of yet. We can only hope Nintendo can secure the deal and give us our portable Dovakin. With mods??
you do realize that these hd remakes are still the same games just with higher res right? its still the same game engine. they just redo the art. it is a 2011 game
Hence me saying "your video contained incomplete or mis-information.", you fucking dumb fuck fuck. It's not like it's actually JUST a straight up 5 years old game, ass wipe.
I have a pc I just never upgraded to ps4/xbone1 but now with the switch being higher quality then most Nintendo stuff I'm most likely gonna buy it (huge Nintendo fan btw)
your estimate is what I am thinking as well. Nintendo consoles and handhelds are usually quite affordable especially compared to their competitors. If they want to sell units they can't sell them for more then the ps4 and xbone.
With $800 you get a beast gaming PC, so this console can't be even nearly as close for such a price. I think it's gonna go up to 300-350€/$ because of it's portability and games factors.
My outtake on this video is that the Switch is more like a portable console that can be projected to a TV rather than a TV console that can be mobile. So comparing it to the current consoles shouldn't be a thing; it should be compared more to the 3DS or even mobile gaming.
I think the switch will be in the Tablet market since that's essentially what it is but it will be a really good tablet because of its focus on gaming.
I've never been a portable gaming fan, but one thing that struck my mind while playing the Wii-U, is wishing I could take the gamepad with me to play on the train or elsewhere. I know there's the 3DS, but I've always wanted a proper console that I can play at home on a TV, or take with me. I think I'm gonna like the Switch a lot!
Gustavo Cardenas i need a new luigi's mansion. they can do SO MUCH with this like for instance have an option to split screen with mario and be ghostbusters on the go!!
Gustavo Cardenas I have been begging for a new Custom robo for forever!!!! An HD Custom Robo in the palm of my hands would have me almost as hype as if Retro announced a new Metroid.
This isn't 100% confirmed but it comes from a good source: Basic Pack: Nintendo Switch Pad Joy Con R and L Dock Station Joy Con Grip - $249.99 USD Ink Pack: All of the above + Professional Controller Splatoon: Ink Warfare - $299.99 USD
I haven't bought a Nintendo console since my Wii I've been Sony fanboying as I have psp, ps vita , ps2 PS3, and PS4. I really have been missing Nintendo "family oriented" games as I'm the only one in my family who plays video games. So I'm mostly playing online with friends but I miss co-op play with friends and family! I hope this goes good and wayyyy better than Wii U as this seems like innovation rather than gimmick so we'll see but definitely a must buy from me!!!!
How would backwards compatibility work though? The Wii U uses discs and not cards for games, I can't see it being able to play Wii U games unless maybe they have it set up for digital purchases to still work on the new console. Actually that would be a very nice idea for them to get people more interested in their digital marketplace. If gamers were assured that their purchases on a console would be usable on the next gen console by the same company, that would get people to purchase digital games on consoles more often.
The 3DS and the vita were mainly about bite sized gaming on the go. To be able to play full release titles (even if they are a little older) while on the go I think is a great selling point. This is the first time in a long time that I'm actually sort of excited for a Nintendo console again.
***** YEAH. Nintendo learned from the complaints about shitty controller. the pro controller looks heavy, fat, and has a matte finish, not shiny and gross looking controller. but the d-pad from the joycon is actually the same dpad from the n64 controller.
1:24 LOL. Obviously I'm going to assume you didn't intend it this way; but saying "or even PC" at the end of the sentence suggests that PC would be its closest contender, i.e. the weakest of the 3 mentioned. Gave me a good giggle lol!
The thing that sucks about spring loaded cartridges is that the mechanism inside the device that creates that resistance, where you push it in and it clicks into place, then push it again to have it pop back out, puts a lot of strain on the gold pins of the cartridge. I am a photographer, I use my SD cards 5 days a week, and after putting the same card in my camera, removing it, putting it in my computer, then putting it back in the camera again I only get about 600 actuations before they fail. This might seem like a lot, but for the potential collectors out there or using these games in 10 or 15 years this kind of thing could become an actual issue.
2 questions that need answering: 1. Will there be a launch day Smash Bros? 2. Will there be USB ports on the dock to let us hook up the wiiu gamecube controller hub for said Smash Bros?
My thoughts on the Nintendo Switch: 1) It sounds like a good upcoming system judging by what I heard 2) I wonder if this system will have an eShop with 3DS games for Virtual Console 3) Since it's being released the same month as PAX East, I wonder if it'll be out in time for that.
+MrYellow I agree nothing beats PC, will only buy portable/TV windows 10 device, why didn't Microsoft make portable console will be best system on the go.
you can just get in e-bay and buy pokemon xd gale of darkness and pokemon Colosseum.I never played colosseum but the xd is awesome.(these are gamecube games,if you own a wii or a wii u you can play them there)
Unlimited Action studios . Actually no. The creator of Castlevania is a mystery shrouded in darkness. I was trying to reference Koji IGA Igarashi the main man behind the series since symphony of the night and i think some involvement in rondo of blood. He left to form his own studio and kick started the game Bloodstained which is arguably castlevania now.
SHMIMME THE CAT 1331 That would be nuts. I'd want a Aria of sorrow/Dawn of sorrow dual pack remake on Nintendo Switch. With unlockables such as the first 4 castlevanias.
Gamexplain got one of the actors to interview and the actor confirmed that it felt really comfortable including the Pro Controller being the most comfortable of all time.
Smash in the trailer would've made people die from hype lol seeing the brand new mario game AND Smash for Switch which will probably have at least 2 new characters. Or they are probably waiting for Smash for Wii U and 3DS two year anniversary to reveal it
***** Zelda and Smash launch titles would get so many people to jump on board, but I think they're more likely to hold off on smash for a few months so that they have a steady flow of games after release.
+Ferrabi If it was as powerful as ps4 or xb1 you would probably be looking at 1-2 hours of gameplay on battery. Well optimised and scaled down to low res ( perfect for small screen ) it will run ok but don't expect current console graphic from a mobile device.
Ez3k1e7 I didn't say it was as powerful as a ps4 and xb1. That would be unrealistic. The switch is probably between the Wii u and xb1. Nvidia said the chip in the switch is using their latest architecture so it would mean it most likely is between the Wii u and xb1. However pascal is super power efficient and still packs in a lot of power. An example would be a gtx 1060 which is 4.4 tflops vs rx 480's 5.8 tflops but in almost every test the gtx 1060 wins and it has a much lower power consumption. I still dont expect it to be as powerful as the latest generation or have the best battery life in the world, but I thinks the switch us capable.
I'm pretty keen. I'm interested to see what the battery life would be like. Also I think I read an interview with Bethesda with them saying that they were supporting the switch and that they helped Nintendo with the video, however that doesn't mean that Skyrim was going to be available to play on the console. I found that interesting because for me, that news took a little wind out of my sails.
The only thing that I'm concerned on at the moment that could sway me away from every purchasing one is the battery life on the tablet. This seems like a really cool concept and I'm psyched that they finally have 3rd party developers. I'm only a little curious about the battery life as I'm pretty much just an introvert and will be staying near the dock a majority of time anyways, but it would be really cool to be able to bring this with me to work and play on down time, if it will survive for that length of time on it's own battery life. Otherwise, as you said, I hope they can make beautiful music with the 3rd party developers and they make sweet games. Don't care about graphics, I just want the games themselves to be worth buying and playing. Thanks for the info.
everyone wonts 4k with jaw dropping graphics. sony bring out the ps pro, xbox our bring out scorpio, pc is just a monster already and nintendo bring out a tablet??? when will they learn
yes youre right,it has the looks like a cheap console just like the OUYA,it will be a BIG flop just like the WiiU, Nintendo will be dead after this console,SWITCH yeah SWITCH to sony pc or microsoft 😂
Danny VD its just crazy, i actually feel sorry for them, they are so far behind these days its unbelievable. all the hype around the NX and this is what it was, a tablet with a less than mediocre gpu and a fancy micro usb>hdmi cable. this is definitely the last thing we will see from nintendo becaus they are finished
Danny DvD HA NOW YOU LOOK LIKE A DUMBASS YOU THINK NINTENDO WOULD DIE WITH THIS CONSOLE? you seriously look like a moron now, you people yhink its all about 4k gaming, and advanced graphics huh? Well, first of all its selling like crazy, selling out eveeywhere, 2nd of all, at least ninte do has the guts to tey something new, and 3rd, this console proves how graphics arent everything.
BIG PC haha, you look like a complete moron now, 6 months after release, just cuz it isnt that powerful shouldnt mean SHIT, and its selling like hot cakes!! and at least nintendo has the guts to try something new, have some respect for them, you fucking moron
When people think Nintendo try to beat actual consoles. Quite funny. A: They give us good games, we don't get shit like NMS or the COD series, obviously depending on what COD game it is though. B: Nintendo has always went for kids and teens alike, the generation of kids we have are ignorant and just stupid as fuck, hate to be in the same line as them, but you know, can't stop pregnancies or else people get mad. (Satire used in a poor way, but yes that will stay there.) C It's what they want to do, and at least we continue to get good games, with the usual poor ones as well.
Definitely took some ideas from the neo geo gx that had a handheld and a docking station as well as game cartridges. I really like this system and hope for some sort of 3ds compatibility.
Harry Joker Really? I need a Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team Emulator, a Spider-Man 3 Emulator and a Marvel Ultimate Alliance Emulator, where can I find those?
Whoa whoa whoa I OBJECT to: "the analog sticks are just placed in a more correct place this time" maybe in your opinion sir! Personally I think that symmetrical top side analog sticks suite modern video games slightly better as most games I play focus heavily on usage of movement and camera control together while utilizing the shoulder buttons primarily. For examples, Skyrim, any Shooter, and Dark Souls.
I have a feeling that when the chip goes into the port the chip is going to be overclocked in a scene. With the availability to power from a outlet it's horsepower could easily take a step up. They said it was a modified chip so it's possible.
One thing I hope, is that it can be played with a charger as a handhelp, and not just recharged in the dock, because batteries run out, and eventually die. I keep my things for a long time, so if I buy it, I will probably have it for longer than the lifespan of the battery.
Had to add...I agree that other than hdmi ports, power (charge), and built in WiFi or ethernet (makes little sense not to have it for System Updates alone), the 'dock' does not add anything else to the unit. I still think that the 'pooled or shared' resources between 'online' units or even server farms will 'boost' the system dramatically while docked. Nintendo already OWNS the handheld market. Why create another 'gimmicky' console? (although I still love my wii). I am sooooo buying this.
My problem with the Wii U was on the software front. I'd never grab a Nintendo system for its graphics or power, it's the game content that is what drives their sales. I bought a Wii U, but ended up giving it to a friend's kids after I noticed that even when jacking the games to their highest difficulty, I was still not challenged by them, and ultimately uninterested (and I am by NO means a pro-grade gamer). If, (big if) I get one, it will depend on the game offerings themselves, I'm not going to buy into another system without knowing that there will be VOLUMES of interesting content that I can't get elsewhere.
I'm so excited. A portable and couch potato! Yes please now gotta just figure out how I'm going to carry it with my 3DS on trips. Probably would buy it late after more games come out on it, and I love the idea of using two sticks, having a sibling that isn't too into gaming but wants to sometimes have fun on car rides and etc is perfect with this (just hope there are a lot of split screen games for it though.)
I strongly agree with you, the graphics are less than PS4 & XBOX1 but Its focused in gaming and how we play them, I think they know that no one console can be graphically better than PC so they look for better ways to play and nothing is more fun that play with friend in the same room.
From what I gather, it's a proper console, but also portable. The console and handheld merged into one. Honestly, that's got my attention. I just might buy a console for the first time since the Wii.
2:21 There is no such thing as "analog sticks in the correct place" It depends on what game you are playing. Wii U: FPS and other shooters, that uses both sticks at the same time. Xbox: 3D platform and adventure games. Where you are using face buttons more than the right stick. PS: Side scroller games, arcade, fighter etc. Where D pad and face buttons are used the most. But regardless, it all depends or your own preference. That is why modular Joy Cons are awesome. Like make your own controller.
I'm really excited about this. I buy every system, but I've always had love for Nintendo. And thank you, Gameranx for not expressing the usual trendy and typical hate towards the Big N. It's appreciated by someone like me who likes all gaming systems.
Some friend told me that this Skyrim shown in this trailer is actually the HD version coming out soon. However I guess he's speculating wildly since he didn't throw sources at me. I think it's worth checking out when we actually get more specifics on this machine.
My thoughts are that consoles always follow the games. I'm mostly a PC player because of a love of strategy and open world games and I have a 3DS for some Pokémon and Monster Hunter. While this seems a flexible system for introducing players into the console market, I'm already invested and content where I'm at.
honestly with skyrim being played with great looking output; I don't think graphical capability will be much to worry about. it's probably going to be around the power of the PS4 but not over or completely under
The dock should have power supply and It should also charge the battery at the same time. Being part portable console I assume that the battery life will be pretty damn long
I'm a PC gamer. I don't buy a console for graphics.. This is exactly what I want. A high end mobile device that also works as a console. And I also think your underestimating the graphics abilities. That is NOT the last gen Skyrim.
true, plus, the game isn't even confirmed for NS yet. so it could look better at release than shown. I'm hoping thts the case.
Couldn't agree with you more
Pc games rarely have local multiplayer. This would be perfect for that.
+Jake Leg. Yeah. I like the portable handheld idea of playing outside with other people that have it.
It would be cool because it would feel like the old days on the N64 when people actually went to other peoples houses to play games with like 4 people.
The difference is that you can do it both indoors and outdoors so there is some N64 nostalgia to it.
Good point!
My friends and I still love to sit on the couch and play mario kart. Good times.
I'm so freaking hyped for this. Nobody has done something like that.
There was a similar tablet 2-3 years ago.
Tom k yeh, the Nvidia Shield tablet. I bought one not long ago. Its not that great unless you have a good connection for streaming
Tom k But you couldn't take it ANYWHERE
Tooze Reviews yes you could. It was a tablet
I mean kinda it has been done, but this allows a big range of cool ideas with the controller idea they got going. It honestly has me really hyped for what they will be doing with that. Its almost like the guitar hero accessories, bt with controllers and I really think that will improve gameplay significantly
As long as it has STRONG third party support, I'm buying.
Wingworn / Game Learner The new sonic project 2017 game was confirmed to be on the NX a while ago
Yeah but they could go away if they can't make a lot of money off it. So hopefully it can sell otherwise we won't see big AAA games on it
Sam Van Den Berg wii u said the same thing. it could be jus them planning to port their old games
from software has me the most hyped. Like who doesn't wanna see me rage on the bus
Yeah, everyone's gonna want to develop games that run on ps4, and something about as powerful as the ps3, that's gonna work out well. This thing looks hideous, it won't even run 720p 40 fps, that's why the new zelda looks worse than shadow of the colossus, if this is anything near a ps3 the battery life will be garbage too.
This is exactly what I need.
I have two kids and a wife who are very good at using the TV 24/7. To play the same games on the go as in couch potato mode ... that's a dream come true.
What's not to like about the nintendo switch? Sure, the graphics might lag a generation behind but I grew up in the 8 bit era. I can live with HD graphics. They're more than good enough.
The nintendo switch looks so good anyway. HD graphics are fine. It's like the xbone.
it's trailer in trailers everything doesn't need to be good and by the time they are going to release it they are going to make it 1000 better
I actually expect graphics to be worse than the trailer but that's fine. The wii was already good enough for me. If the switch has x360 grahpics, I'll be a happy gamer and father.
It will probably be around X360 to XONE or PS3 to PS4. Something inbetween.
I'm usually a die-hard PC player, but I'm going to be buying this solely for portable skyrim
btw its probably only vanilla skyrim
Or wait for the Smach Z.
We are of same thoughts right now. NS is beautiful for mobility of PC games
IKR! I am a die hard pc gamer, but hey, if u can play skyrim in the car or on a plane, I am in!
Skyrim remastered on the fly, baby!
If they put Monster Hunter on it I will throw money at it.
This.
Wingworn / Game Learner capcom
Capcom
Capcom
Capcom. And they already have 2 MH games on 3DS (plus 1 JP-only MH game as well).
Watched Red dead redemption 2 trailer, Nintendo Switch announced, Battlefield 1 released and half term hoildays for 1 week just started. One of the Best days!!!
And PSN down. Fuck.
PSN SUCKS! LONG LIVE FREE NINTENDO NETWORK WITHOUT PAID BULLSHIT!!
Skaname hell yeah
Skaname we don't know how the switches online works yet so I would recommend shutting up
and hit and mirai trunks was announced for xenoverse 2 and its coming out in 5 days lol best fall ever
Pretty sure the Tegra chip is a new Pascal based one, so comparing it to the old shield doesn't really work anymore since that was the Maxwell version.

Nintendo better come up with a Find My Nintendo Switch app cus they're probably going to get stolen and shit
How the fuck would you loose something the size of a tablet? I have a Find My iPhone app, but its never been used.
░KenLinx░ Just saying because IPads do get stolen all the time.
Big D If the 3ds has a gps tracking system, then likely will the Switch, though I doubt that they do.
░KenLinx░ Well we'll see
so true bro so true
Did that guy not realize that it was Skyrim Remastered being played? That would make it on par with at least the Xbox One! :)
Skyrim hasn't been confirmed for the Switch. Bethesda has said that it was just a colab for the Switch trailer.
Sameer Khanna I'm totally aware of that ! :) But, it's illegal for a company to show off something and then it not actually happen. It's false advertisement, and what they said was "We have nothing to announce at this time", they're most likely waiting for Skyrim Remastered to be released on PS4 and XB1 first.

It's weird how it works, but it's not legal fro them to show something and then it never happens
Not necessarilly, Watchdogs was released on the Wii U and it was a toned down version, the same might be true here.
charlie freeman Yeah I know that, but what I meaning to get at was how it was showed being played on the console. Toning down the graphics is a different story, but showing off something is completely different
It was obviously the remastered one on the advert.
So we calling it the NS now?
Nintendo Shit
It was called the ns but they have renamed it the "switch"
NatureHacker Im not the biggest fan of nintendo and even tho im not buying it im super hyped for it
+suicidal kitten NX*
nope, its still called the NX
I really hope this ends up being good.
You better not break your promise..
ThinkingOfYou75 I promise you, it won't
ThinkingOfYou75 it's gonna be awesome
me to
I'll be back in April 2017 to tell you how it failed and how you broke your promise.
I can play proper console games on a portable device? People don't realize how great that is yet, do they?
Nikolaos Giannoulatos I know, Nintendo Just came out with the best Console offer in Years and People Just Ignore It like the Fanboys they Are.
***** I was thinking the same thing, I can play it while I lay down in bed.
Agreed. It may not be as strong as the XBox One or PS4, unless the rumor about the dock giving it more power is true, but the fact that I can take Zelda and possibly Skyrim on the go, it's great to me.
Nikolaos Giannoulatos I want a portable console because then I can play on it at school which would be so good
Nikolaos Giannoulatos dark souls on this would vê amazing
Why do people hate on this thing. I mean it appeals to the mobile market and the home console market. If you want a standard home console experience, then just keep the device at home. Not to mention graphics aren't the most important aspect. Zelda looks great and that sky rim remaster looks great too. If you hate it because it's by Nintendo, then stop thinking poorly of them, when they make some of the best exclusive games and care about giving something new to their customers. There are so many options with this device that it appeals to all and even the power is at Xbox 1 level. If you really think this console will flop, try telling that to 400k people who liked the initial trailer on Nintendo's TH-cam trailer.
Define "Mobile" market if you mean Handheld, then yes, it does, if you mean phones and tablets, then no, it doesn't.
Wait... so I can play Skyrim on this?? I'll buy it just for that.
Skyrim is an RPG for Call of Duty kids. Witcher 3 is a man's RPG.
Intellektual BlackMan A lot of people can defy your argument
Mirko Žaja
They can. Just not successfully.
Skyrim, Witcher 3... If they can fit Witcher 3 onto the Nintendo Switch, then by all means, fit the damn thing. But for mobility's sake, I could play a good RPG on long commutes.
So you're saying A WOMAN CAN'T PLAY WITCHER 3?? I'M TRI--
Just kidding that meme died out months ago.
So will there be a gaming news show today
Yes.
gameranx skyrim coming to nitendo
My dreams have come true
The biggest Question for me is . Are there some games u only play on the go and some games u only allowed too play on the TV
Actually Bethesda claimed to not have officially agreed to port Skyrim to the Switch as of yet. We can only hope Nintendo can secure the deal and give us our portable Dovakin. With mods??
I hope it's the HD remastered version that has just come to other consoles.
It's not the 2011 Skyrim version though, so your video contained incomplete or mis-information.
its still a 5-6 year old game
you do realize that these hd remakes are still the same games just with higher res right? its still the same game engine. they just redo the art. it is a 2011 game
It could be the remaster coming.
Hence me saying "your video contained incomplete or mis-information.", you fucking dumb fuck fuck. It's not like it's actually JUST a straight up 5 years old game, ass wipe.
And, this version will probably work with Mods, possibly.
thank god i havent bought a next gen console yet because I need this
iron zwy or buy a PC...
I have a pc I just never upgraded to ps4/xbone1 but now with the switch being higher quality then most Nintendo stuff I'm most likely gonna buy it (huge Nintendo fan btw)
+terry ganes don't do it!! PS4 and XBONE are just PCs with pre-installed hardware.
Hey terry, What's your Rig?
terry, you are a very smart person.
Glad to see Nintendo's 2017 console match the power of the Xbox 360 from 2005...
Jarl Ballin' it's closer to Xbox 1 actually
Jarl Ballin' slightly below Xbox 1
TonyDaExpert lol so much BS
Jarl Ballin' switch can run unreal engine 4, boom
they compared the pascal tegra chip to the maxwell tegra chip from the last generation consoles... the people who mdae this video are idiots.
I can already imagine how easy that kickstand will snap on the back lol
"Or even PC." PC is the most powerful platform out there?????
Schmidteren You Realise he Said It's NOT going to Compete With Ps4, Xbox or PC. Or are you hearing Impaired ??
depends.
MrDjBigZ it depends on what hardware the user is getting.
PC is the most powerful platform .. just compare a Titan X to a PS4 .. GG ..
+red terminator Captain obvious is here!
But can it run Crisis?
probably not its definetly not as powerful as the ps3 or xbox360
John Green no
John Green You never know, I think it's gonna be as powerful if not more as the PS4
didn't they already confirm that the NX isn't gonna be as powerful as the PS4?
Yeah they did
in not a Nintendo fan but really want it. Can't wait to find out it's $800
Awais Khan Its supposed to be $299 - $399....its better be really for those prices...
your estimate is what I am thinking as well. Nintendo consoles and handhelds are usually quite affordable especially compared to their competitors. If they want to sell units they can't sell them for more then the ps4 and xbone.
They are willing to sell them at a loss, but they will sure charge an arm and a leg for the games. Like printers and ink.
With $800 you get a beast gaming PC, so this console can't be even nearly as close for such a price. I think it's gonna go up to 300-350€/$ because of it's portability and games factors.
-Edge- [X] beast??
Please please please please please PLEASE be as cool as you look, Switch!
dominik rezvani Lets Hope so!!
I'm ready for some gameplay on that puppy
oh yeah that puppy meme thing
I'm early let me think of a joke...
4K Video in chrome...
James Carlyle I LOVE XBOX
fuking subscribe to me
James Carlyle RIP RAM
they fixed it. (last update of chrome if I'm right
My outtake on this video is that the Switch is more like a portable console that can be projected to a TV rather than a TV console that can be mobile. So comparing it to the current consoles shouldn't be a thing; it should be compared more to the 3DS or even mobile gaming.
I think that's the most accurate way to see things. It is great for mobile gaming, we just need to see how good it is for home gaming.
Maybe, but I think the 3DS will retain it's own market and support as the Switch isn't pocketable, it's more of something you throw in your backpack.
I think the switch will be in the Tablet market since that's essentially what it is but it will be a really good tablet because of its focus on gaming.
spikeshroom =HYBRID CONSOLE
The most accurate view is it's simply both.
Do you think Nintendo is gonna make a bigger version in the future like a Nintendo Switch XL?
Vortexzz1 probably they always do with the Ds portable sistems
Vortexzz1 no it's an actual console, not a portable.
ItsCBearhere well is both portable and console
It's a home console first then the handheld is more like the "gimmick" of the console
nostalgicgamer100 let's just say they are both XD 😂👌
I've never been a portable gaming fan, but one thing that struck my mind while playing the Wii-U, is wishing I could take the gamepad with me to play on the train or elsewhere. I know there's the 3DS, but I've always wanted a proper console that I can play at home on a TV, or take with me. I think I'm gonna like the Switch a lot!
dude. skyrim on the go? im sold. 100%
I saw gameplay of Skyrim!!! Instantly buying this!
Bethesda hasn't confirmed to make a skyrim version for the switch. Just keep that in mind!
Yeah, I know nothing is confirmed yet, but if Bethesda is making a version for the Switch, I'm probably going to buy it for that purpose.
I want a new Custom Robo game for the Nintendo Switch (If you guys even know what that game is)
Gustavo Cardenas i need a new luigi's mansion. they can do SO MUCH with this like for instance have an option to split screen with mario and be ghostbusters on the go!!
Gustavo Cardenas yes pls
OMG Someone knows what Custom Robo is other than me? *GASP*
If it comes out on the NS I'd literally sh*t money at Nintendo.
Gustavo Cardenas I have been begging for a new Custom robo for forever!!!! An HD Custom Robo in the palm of my hands would have me almost as hype as if Retro announced a new Metroid.
would be sick!!!
If it's not too expensive I will probably get it, seems cool
smh. i hope nintendo does it right this time
This isn't 100% confirmed but it comes from a good source:
Basic Pack:
Nintendo Switch Pad
Joy Con R and L
Dock Station
Joy Con Grip
- $249.99 USD
Ink Pack:
All of the above +
Professional Controller
Splatoon: Ink Warfare
- $299.99 USD
I haven't bought a Nintendo console since my Wii I've been Sony fanboying as I have psp, ps vita , ps2 PS3, and PS4. I really have been missing Nintendo "family oriented" games as I'm the only one in my family who plays video games. So I'm mostly playing online with friends but I miss co-op play with friends and family! I hope this goes good and wayyyy better than Wii U as this seems like innovation rather than gimmick so we'll see but definitely a must buy from me!!!!
What's a headphone jack?
TheN0odles it's a myth spread by apple
Penngrove Cartwright it's a myth spread by google android
Cari Walker you're dumb if you don't get it
The thing Apple told you you didn't want.
Wait, so will this be compatible at all with the Wii U? Or are they not including Wii U backwards compatibility for the game cards?
they will probibly port it into cards or if you have the digital version you can just download it
I dont see why it would be.
We dont know yet
tbh that sucks since the digital versions are way overpriced compared to the Disc version...
How would backwards compatibility work though? The Wii U uses discs and not cards for games, I can't see it being able to play Wii U games unless maybe they have it set up for digital purchases to still work on the new console. Actually that would be a very nice idea for them to get people more interested in their digital marketplace. If gamers were assured that their purchases on a console would be usable on the next gen console by the same company, that would get people to purchase digital games on consoles more often.
Finally a handheld Nintendo device were I can't see the pixels on the screen.
I'm sad. I just got the wii u last christmas. I was late :(
Me too but i think maybe sell the wii u and buy the switch
Thomas Kuaka wait you had the choice between the wii u Xbox one and ps4 and you chose the wii u?
Radittsu There are still some Nintendo fans out there
Radittsu don't judge others.
Black Rose Gallade I wasn't judging him I was judging his decisions
This is the first console I've been excited for in a long time. It's probably the only console i'll be buying for a long time
The 3DS and the vita were mainly about bite sized gaming on the go. To be able to play full release titles (even if they are a little older) while on the go I think is a great selling point. This is the first time in a long time that I'm actually sort of excited for a Nintendo console again.
it looks bizarre as hell, but for some reason i wanted so bad, btw is that little cross its d-pad?
Sasque Uchija No it's the plus button. Similar to the start or pause button while in game.
i thought it was a small d-pad. lol
the four buttons on the left are the dpad
Tilla Kanesis well that new, it might be a bad thing for people who like fighting and retro games, but good thing there is a regular controller
***** YEAH. Nintendo learned from the complaints about shitty controller. the pro controller looks heavy, fat, and has a matte finish, not shiny and gross looking controller. but the d-pad from the joycon is actually the same dpad from the n64 controller.
Bethesda?
I could play Fallout 4 portable? What a good time to be alive..
1:24
LOL. Obviously I'm going to assume you didn't intend it this way; but saying "or even PC" at the end of the sentence suggests that PC would be its closest contender, i.e. the weakest of the 3 mentioned. Gave me a good giggle lol!
Qwert I think it was more like an after thought like why even compare them
Sam Miskiv
That's what I figured. But gave me a laugh anyway.
Qwert nice bait
The thing that sucks about spring loaded cartridges is that the mechanism inside the device that creates that resistance, where you push it in and it clicks into place, then push it again to have it pop back out, puts a lot of strain on the gold pins of the cartridge.
I am a photographer, I use my SD cards 5 days a week, and after putting the same card in my camera, removing it, putting it in my computer, then putting it back in the camera again I only get about 600 actuations before they fail. This might seem like a lot, but for the potential collectors out there or using these games in 10 or 15 years this kind of thing could become an actual issue.
2 questions that need answering:
1. Will there be a launch day Smash Bros?
2. Will there be USB ports on the dock to let us hook up the wiiu gamecube controller hub for said Smash Bros?
l love how he puts ps4 and xbox over pc like they are so much better. 1:25

"the pokemon company"
You do know that that's their actual name right?

lol i tho it was gamefreak
GMlit Official hi gen
INJUSTICE how'd you find me
it is gamefreak but sins they only make pokemon games so there call themselves the pokemon company so the kids khow who they are
My thoughts on the Nintendo Switch:
1) It sounds like a good upcoming system judging by what I heard
2) I wonder if this system will have an eShop with 3DS games for Virtual Console
3) Since it's being released the same month as PAX East, I wonder if it'll be out in time for that.
The headphone jack Apple call out was perfect 👌🏼😂😂
I want it I'm super excited about the Nintendo switch!
Honestly, this looks like what the Wii U should have been.
Playstation = better hardware
Nintendo = better games
Playstation = better games
Nintendo = still good games
PC = better hardware. If you're in it for hardware, don't use a console.
+Theredstoners Theredstoners Playstation has only PC games xD.What is so good about that?
pc= better hardware pc=better games
+MrYellow I agree nothing beats PC, will only buy portable/TV windows 10 device, why didn't Microsoft make portable console will be best system on the go.
It's surprise to see gameranx making an Nintendo related video
Given the wording on nVidia's site, the Switch will have a Pascal based SoC, so very much a derivative of Tegra X2, which should get close to XB1.
I'll get this just for legend of Zelda and Mario. That's it lol
Pokemon sun and moon boy, also smash
face punch you're right i forgot about those
I better be able to play Pokemon on my TV by 2018 I'll be 19 by then but fuck it
Who cares how old you are, PLAY WHATEVER YOU WANT!
Ibn Adams and he came a little bit more powerful
Ibn Adams damn straight
you can just get in e-bay and buy pokemon xd gale of darkness and pokemon Colosseum.I never played colosseum but the xd is awesome.(these are gamecube games,if you own a wii or a wii u you can play them there)
I don't know about the colloseum but the final tournament in xd gale of darkness is legendary hard.
Konami? Well you killed Castlevania so what now
let's not forget yugioh,they ruined this card game too.
Unlimited Action studios don't forget Hideo Kojima and the creator of Castlevania.
They fired the creator of Castelvania?
Unlimited Action studios . Actually no. The creator of Castlevania is a mystery shrouded in darkness. I was trying to reference Koji IGA Igarashi the main man behind the series since symphony of the night and i think some involvement in rondo of blood. He left to form his own studio and kick started the game Bloodstained which is arguably castlevania now.
SHMIMME THE CAT 1331 That would be nuts. I'd want a Aria of sorrow/Dawn of sorrow dual pack remake on Nintendo Switch. With unlockables such as the first 4 castlevanias.
going to wait for the 'before you buy' before getting this
Gamexplain got one of the actors to interview and the actor confirmed that it felt really comfortable including the Pro Controller being the most comfortable of all time.
i'm kind of dissapointed of splatoon being in the trailer rather than smash, since smash is a more popular esports than splatoon
still hyped for the new splatoon though
Smash in the trailer would've made people die from hype lol seeing the brand new mario game AND Smash for Switch which will probably have at least 2 new characters. Or they are probably waiting for Smash for Wii U and 3DS two year anniversary to reveal it
Just wait for the games reveal next year. I bet smash will be there.
I think it has to do with the fact that the splatoon dev team wants splatoon to be an esport while the smash team doesn't want smash to be an esport
*****
Zelda and Smash launch titles would get so many people to jump on board, but I think they're more likely to hold off on smash for a few months so that they have a steady flow of games after release.
Nintendo Switch = tablet to play Last Gen games and Nintendo Exclusives
i dont see the problem
N7 Wolf How could I have been so blind? This coment has opened my eyes.
Daniel sherlock how would you know? The Skyrim they showed footage of was actually the remastered edition which is on ps4 and xb1
+Ferrabi If it was as powerful as ps4 or xb1 you would probably be looking at 1-2 hours of gameplay on battery. Well optimised and scaled down to low res ( perfect for small screen ) it will run ok but don't expect current console graphic from a mobile device.
Ez3k1e7 I didn't say it was as powerful as a ps4 and xb1. That would be unrealistic. The switch is probably between the Wii u and xb1. Nvidia said the chip in the switch is using their latest architecture so it would mean it most likely is between the Wii u and xb1. However pascal is super power efficient and still packs in a lot of power. An example would be a gtx 1060 which is 4.4 tflops vs rx 480's 5.8 tflops but in almost every test the gtx 1060 wins and it has a much lower power consumption. I still dont expect it to be as powerful as the latest generation or have the best battery life in the world, but I thinks the switch us capable.
Now I can play skyrim on the toilet YES
If it can run Skyrim, will it be able to run Dishonored 2? Cuz that would have been cool af..
I'm pretty keen. I'm interested to see what the battery life would be like. Also I think I read an interview with Bethesda with them saying that they were supporting the switch and that they helped Nintendo with the video, however that doesn't mean that Skyrim was going to be available to play on the console. I found that interesting because for me, that news took a little wind out of my sails.
I really hope it's affordable
Dang it
Isaac Silva around 300 dollars I bet
Well it isn't VR!
Ba-dum TISSsss
The future is here boiz
I didn't know your dad was Michael Jordan!
The only thing that I'm concerned on at the moment that could sway me away from every purchasing one is the battery life on the tablet. This seems like a really cool concept and I'm psyched that they finally have 3rd party developers. I'm only a little curious about the battery life as I'm pretty much just an introvert and will be staying near the dock a majority of time anyways, but it would be really cool to be able to bring this with me to work and play on down time, if it will survive for that length of time on it's own battery life. Otherwise, as you said, I hope they can make beautiful music with the 3rd party developers and they make sweet games. Don't care about graphics, I just want the games themselves to be worth buying and playing. Thanks for the info.
According to Gamestop, preorders for the Switch open in Jan.
everyone wonts 4k with jaw dropping graphics. sony bring out the ps pro, xbox our bring out scorpio, pc is just a monster already and nintendo bring out a tablet??? when will they learn
yes youre right,it has the looks like a cheap console just like the OUYA,it will be a BIG flop just like the WiiU, Nintendo will be dead after this console,SWITCH yeah SWITCH to sony pc or microsoft 😂
Danny VD its just crazy, i actually feel sorry for them, they are so far behind these days its unbelievable. all the hype around the NX and this is what it was, a tablet with a less than mediocre gpu and a fancy micro usb>hdmi cable. this is definitely the last thing we will see from nintendo becaus they are finished
Danny DvD HA NOW YOU LOOK LIKE A DUMBASS YOU THINK NINTENDO WOULD DIE WITH THIS CONSOLE? you seriously look like a moron now, you people yhink its all about 4k gaming, and advanced graphics huh? Well, first of all its selling like crazy, selling out eveeywhere, 2nd of all, at least ninte do has the guts to tey something new, and 3rd, this console proves how graphics arent everything.
BIG PC haha, you look like a complete moron now, 6 months after release, just cuz it isnt that powerful shouldnt mean SHIT, and its selling like hot cakes!! and at least nintendo has the guts to try something new, have some respect for them, you fucking moron
It's skyrim remastered.
When people think Nintendo try to beat actual consoles. Quite funny.
A: They give us good games, we don't get shit like NMS or the COD series, obviously depending on what COD game it is though.
B: Nintendo has always went for kids and teens alike, the generation of kids we have are ignorant and just stupid as fuck, hate to be in the same line as them, but you know, can't stop pregnancies or else people get mad. (Satire used in a poor way, but yes that will stay there.)
C It's what they want to do, and at least we continue to get good games, with the usual poor ones as well.
Someone with common fucking sense?! On the internet no less!
This is part where someone pinches me and ruins everything.
"My moms still embarrassed"
"My dads disappointed"
*i know how you feel*
Definitely took some ideas from the neo geo gx that had a handheld and a docking station as well as game cartridges. I really like this system and hope for some sort of 3ds compatibility.
this looks so fragile,if you accidentally drop it you're fucked
you never know they could use some kind of a strong screen, I doubt it's gonna be like an iPad and break super easily
Linktriforce99 knowing nintendo i doubt that but one could hope
When was the last time you broke a Nintendo console? Their systems are really sturdy.
I'm sure they'll have protective cases and screen covers and such.
Afifan909 I broke a 3ds but thats just because my son (I dont know how to say this) folded it a bit to much and the hinges broke.
I didn't know your dad was a colored man
purpa turta same...
are you assuming his dad's race?
JDM M4ST3R avs tru
I'm pissed that I still have a Vita, fucking waste of money.
Even with it's shortage of must play games, it's still a great device for emulation...if you're into that sort of thing.
Harry Joker
Really? I need a Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team Emulator, a Spider-Man 3 Emulator and a Marvel Ultimate Alliance Emulator, where can I find those?
Whoa whoa whoa I OBJECT to: "the analog sticks are just placed in a more correct place this time" maybe in your opinion sir! Personally I think that symmetrical top side analog sticks suite modern video games slightly better as most games I play focus heavily on usage of movement and camera control together while utilizing the shoulder buttons primarily. For examples, Skyrim, any Shooter, and Dark Souls.
I have a feeling that when the chip goes into the port the chip is going to be overclocked in a scene. With the availability to power from a outlet it's horsepower could easily take a step up. They said it was a modified chip so it's possible.
One thing I hope, is that it can be played with a charger as a handhelp, and not just recharged in the dock, because batteries run out, and eventually die. I keep my things for a long time, so if I buy it, I will probably have it for longer than the lifespan of the battery.
I hope the dock boosts the graphical power.
Had to add...I agree that other than hdmi ports, power (charge), and built in WiFi or ethernet (makes little sense not to have it for System Updates alone), the 'dock' does not add anything else to the unit. I still think that the 'pooled or shared' resources between 'online' units or even server farms will 'boost' the system dramatically while docked. Nintendo already OWNS the handheld market. Why create another 'gimmicky' console? (although I still love my wii). I am sooooo buying this.
This is bringing back that era of when people played with each other IRL.
For the first time on over 7 years, I legitimately want a Nintendo system.
My problem with the Wii U was on the software front. I'd never grab a Nintendo system for its graphics or power, it's the game content that is what drives their sales. I bought a Wii U, but ended up giving it to a friend's kids after I noticed that even when jacking the games to their highest difficulty, I was still not challenged by them, and ultimately uninterested (and I am by NO means a pro-grade gamer). If, (big if) I get one, it will depend on the game offerings themselves, I'm not going to buy into another system without knowing that there will be VOLUMES of interesting content that I can't get elsewhere.
I'm so excited.
A portable and couch potato! Yes please now gotta just figure out how I'm going to carry it with my 3DS on trips. Probably would buy it late after more games come out on it, and I love the idea of using two sticks, having a sibling that isn't too into gaming but wants to sometimes have fun on car rides and etc is perfect with this (just hope there are a lot of split screen games for it though.)
I strongly agree with you, the graphics are less than PS4 & XBOX1 but Its focused in gaming and how we play them, I think they know that no one console can be graphically better than PC so they look for better ways to play and nothing is more fun that play with friend in the same room.
From what I gather, it's a proper console, but also portable. The console and handheld merged into one. Honestly, that's got my attention. I just might buy a console for the first time since the Wii.
2:21 There is no such thing as "analog sticks in the correct place"
It depends on what game you are playing.
Wii U: FPS and other shooters, that uses both sticks at the same time.
Xbox: 3D platform and adventure games. Where you are using face buttons more than the right stick.
PS: Side scroller games, arcade, fighter etc. Where D pad and face buttons are used the most.
But regardless, it all depends or your own preference.
That is why modular Joy Cons are awesome. Like make your own controller.
I'm really excited about this. I buy every system, but I've always had love for Nintendo. And thank you, Gameranx for not expressing the usual trendy and typical hate towards the Big N. It's appreciated by someone like me who likes all gaming systems.
Some friend told me that this Skyrim shown in this trailer is actually the HD version coming out soon. However I guess he's speculating wildly since he didn't throw sources at me. I think it's worth checking out when we actually get more specifics on this machine.
My thoughts are that consoles always follow the games. I'm mostly a PC player because of a love of strategy and open world games and I have a 3DS for some Pokémon and Monster Hunter. While this seems a flexible system for introducing players into the console market, I'm already invested and content where I'm at.
let's see if this counsel will be a shipwreck like the wii u or actually be its comeback for Nintendo
Honestly I haven't played Nintendo ever since I was 8 but I might think about picking this up
honestly with skyrim being played with great looking output; I don't think graphical capability will be much to worry about. it's probably going to be around the power of the PS4 but not over or completely under
I'm always on the fence with Nintendo, I guess I'll wait 3-6 months and see what game selection I've got to choose from.
If the portable LCD screen is the console... what's about the life time battery in this ! Can it be replace or something ?
The dock should have power supply and It should also charge the battery at the same time. Being part portable console I assume that the battery life will be pretty damn long
If the price is right I'm buying it!....and this is the first time in a long time I'm interested in a Nintendo product.
The chip will use a custom chip based off of the Pascal 10xx line. It will not be the X1 chip, it was just a place holder.
