Nintendo Switch: March 3rd 2017

cloudeagle

Video capture "in the future."

OneAngryPossum

Notional control in each Joycon too.

Edit: Also motion!

KiTA

Built in screenshot / share / stream button.

You know, in case you were feeling generous and wanted to let Nintendo monetize your videos against your will.

Shadowfire

They're both Wiimotes. Fuck yeah.

SniperGuy

Joycon has motion controls in 'em so expect Wii backwards compatability I bet.

KoopahTroopah

Those look so god damn small lol.

reVerse

Nintendo copied Sony.

SniperGuy

"We call this, sharing the joy"

groan

Wraith260

sharing the joy sounds a bit euphemistic.

OneAngryPossum

Multiplayer with the Joycons is "Sharing the Joy."

I'm a fan.

Polaritie

Every control scheme Nintendo has ever done in one system. Sure why not.

300 is probably too much money. 250 was the cap where i thought it could be sucessful.

Dammit. I knew tonight was gonna disappoint. Discussing this thing is gonna be the Wii U all over again.

Well, at least I know better now than to hope for the best and argue for that interpretation. I can instead just check out.

Jragghen

This entire presentation feels.....stiff.

Grove

Damn, I don't know, this looks pretty terrible to me.

SniperGuy

COLORS

cloudeagle

DAMMIT IWATA WOULD HAVE MANDATED LIKE THREE GOOFY THINGS BY NOW

Polaritie

Nintendo, if you make a white Switch...

Shadowfire

Wrist straps!
Where are my goddamn Joycon condoms?

Kelor

All good folks, safety straps!

Molybdenum

Ok, this video demo is more like it.

DanHibiki

well it's standard USB so getting a battery pack is easy.

SniperGuy

Ooh, I like that strap. It has bonus larger buttons and isn't just so you don't throw it into the TV.

KiTA

They need to introduce American-sized versions of the Joycons. I can already tell that's going to be an issue.

Shadowfire

Alright, the camera thing sounds pretty silly.

I trust the commander-in-chief of OZ for my Nintendo purchases, so put me down for that too.

Zek

Hmm, the right joycon has an IR sensor, so Wii BC really is a possibility.

Kelor

Wiimote/Nunchuck being back is the best thing about this so far.

OneAngryPossum

Are they pushing for VR support with these controllers? Lot more tech than anticipated. Depth sensing, more refined haptics.

Khavall

OH SHIT BOYS WE CAN PLAY ROCK PAPER SCISSORS.

GAME.

CHANGER.

SniperGuy

Oooh this IR camera thing looks neat. Think that'd work like a Wii pointer too?

...yes, it has rumble. Ice cubes in a glass? What?

SaraLuna

lmao - "it fits perfectly in your hand"
*image of comically small controller dwarfed in hands*

wunderbar

what even is happening? Ice Cubes?

Houn

This modular controller is going to end up costing $70 after the grip and the shoulder button thing. And then pieces will get lost because they're so small.

cloudeagle

Three ice cubes in a cup okay I take that back this is Nintendo goofy

You'll be able to spank your Senran Kagura Waifus.


Haptic Feedback is pretty nice.

Shadowfire

Wait, how in depth is the force feedback in this controller? This could be interesting.

BronzeKoopa

HD rumble what the hell?

The little strap thing adding to the size is a nice move for those of us with big hands.

Polaritie

Okay, they totally just let everyone submit ideas for controls and just did all of them.

The joycon seems rather... overkill almost?

Wraith260

new games! Wild Gunman?
