Well show's over. Nintendo are gonna win this. You can all go home now. Go on!

Not as surprised with this console's main gimmivk seeing as though it being a hybrid console was a very prevalent rumour.

What I am surprised, however, is how they're combining other technology in an attempt to innovate. Nintendo has always been the one to mix older technology in order to innovate. They've done so since the days of the NES.

Best timestamp

But yes, it is a surprise.

Some theorize that the main series Generation VIII Pokémon games would be on the Nintendo Switch. (That, despite the fact that Generation VII hasn't started yet, and will start next month.)

Of course all Nintendo need is a killer line-up of games and they're all set.

Currently, the following games are either announced or confirmed:

Announced:
Dragon Quest X
Dragon Quest XI
Just Dance 2017
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Project Sonic 2017
RISE: Race the Future
Riverside
Tank It

Confirmed:
Unknown Pokémon game
Unknown game by Image & Form

Other:
A new Super Mario Bros. game
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim — Special Edition
Mario Kart 8 (sequel or updated release or DLC; too little information available)
NBA 2K17
Splatoon (sequel or updated release or DLC; too little information available)

So, the Nintendo Switch is the first cartridge-based home console since the Nintendo 64.

And apparently acts as a "third pillar", not replacing the Wii U Wii U Wii U-- sorry. Not replacing the Wii U or the 3DS.

I'm a simple girl.
I see "Switch", I switch it with the "Tera Switchium Z".

Though I hear it DOES replace both the Wii U and the 3DS?

Gen 7 of Pokemon also got Yellow remakes with Leaf as an NPC, though.

This thread is being repurposed to discuss anything related to Nintendo that does not have its own thread or board.

Or stuff like Nintendo Directs. I hear those are directly a thing. :p
