This will always be my favorite Nintendo console:
the best!
Ocarina of Time is still my favorite game of all time.
the way you could get lost in the world on that horse was so innovative and fun!
Agreed

Super interesting to see it's both a home and handheld console. But it's not the . Nintendo has some of the best IP's. I'm probably in the minority but I'd love to see a Super Mario RPG sequel.
I was just listening to the Super Mario RPG soundtrack the other day! I'd love to see a sequel, too.
That's still in my top 10 games of all time. But I've already given up hope in a sequel :(
really looking forward to that Classic Mini 😬
I think the real play is here is "make gaming social again." If you most of the examples are people playing the Switch together, in real meat-space.
If you're a fan of SMRPG, I highly recommend this mod for it -- one of the coolest things I've ever played (FF characters & Pokemon in a SMRPG game!?)
Very cool how you can change from portable gaming to regular gaming console so easily 👌
: yeah, i actually wasn't buying into the modularity of it with the disconnecting controls and what not....until I saw the scene on the plane when he disconnects them and uses them more like wii U controllers, separate from the unit altogether. that was really clever. though i wonder if developers will have a hard time creating a smooth gaming experience in all modes...hopefully that's not too much of a barrier that it ends up turning developers away...
That looks like a killer feature. I love Nintendo. Will never forget the sweet sound of Tetris. ^^
This looks amazing, but that battery life better be equally amazing.
Biggest takeaway from this is that Nintendo has figured out that playing together with friends on a couch is what makes gaming great. I love xbox live, but almost nothing compares to having super smash bros tournaments with 12 people in the same room as each other fighting over who got the purple controller and actually spending time together.
When people say that we don't need a handled console because we already have smartphones. I'm sorry, but I prefer this
Apple really needs to ramp up their partnerships in regards to the AppleTV. If I look at the image quality of the games in the video, this is something which could easily be done I think on the AppleTV. They even got a proper gaming controller for the AppleTV and the standard remote is like the Nintendo WII remote, why aren't there just more game developers who already develop for IOS porting their games to TVOS? Game developers, time to up your game and release more for the AppleTV!
WANT WANT WANT. A few interesting things here: 1) This isn't the first console that is both a "home" console and "portable" console, that really goes to the NVidia Shield. However, one thing that caught my eye here is that you actually insert the Switch into a machine to get it hooked up to your TV, not with say just a cable. That sort of makes me wonder if by plugging in the Shield into that box if it receives GPU boosts (ala the Surface Book) to allow for higher quality experiences. 2) With this being solidly both a home console and portable console, I wonder if this mean we will see the end of the DS line of handhelds. That would be sad, because the experiences on DS have been amazing.
Though it wasn't seamless, the Sega Nomad was essentially Sega Genesis on the go. You could even attach a full-sized controller to the device for two-player mode.
No, the docking station is just for the connectivity to the TV and for recharging. This is "not" a solid home console. It is a tablet that streams its media to the TV via a hardware connection instead of like other tablets wirelessly.
Ok Nintendo, Ok! You're making someone who gave up gaming a long time ago to seriously consider this.
