I think they will eventually pass out the 3DS, and then decide wether to make a more powerful home console or not.
Goooood morning everyone!
So, some Nintendo press, apologies if any of it is a repost.
Platinum Games would bring Nier-Automata to the Switch if Square Enix paid them
Yooka Laylee goes gold - Switch date not confirmed yet but they HAVE confirmed it's coming to the Switch.
New Nintendo Switch survey in Japan shows 10% plan to buy the console
Switch Pre Orders are good so far and will increase production
Nintendo financial results for 9 months ending Dec 31st 2016
11 close up images of the Switch

The switch looks like it will be another knife edge console for Nintendo. I expect I will buy it but rather than be a day one buy, I think I will wait a little and catch up later... I still have twilight princess HD to play through on Wii U so my Zelda requirements can be fulfilled as time allows
Not too difficult to see where they got their inspiration from is it?
Haha yeah, even down to the music. It just looked like a direct copy. But I loved WW so I'm excited for this! Great to hear Warbie! Although I've got a feeling nintendo won't have the same pricing

Haha. No it most certainly won't be. £59.99! That's right, you heard it here first folks!
You'll have to buy them first
Oceanhorn Amibos - only £10 each. We took content out the game especially so you can buy these to put it back!

Yeah I do dislike Amibos. I've got the Twilight Princess one, so I think that gives me fish? but that's it, no more. Nintendo are already getting too much of my money this year.
I'm warming to the idea of the Switch now, especially as Amazon have reduced the price of Zelda to £48 or whatever it is, and I get £2 off that as a Prime member.
Still not sure whether to keep the pre-order on or not, but I have the time to change my mind.
In terms of peripherals, what are people looking at? I'm thinking long term I'm better off paying for a pair of joy cons and the charging grip. That gives 4 controllers for stuff like Mario Kart, or two decent ones (though lacking a D-Pad, for what it's worth).

I'm in two minds between a pro pad (which acctually looks quite nice) or a set of joy cons. Bloody expensive mind.
£75! I never thought that expensive. Wow. Then you have to get a grip seperate if you want to use it as one full pad. That is insane. £100+ for one pad. Nope. I'll buy a pro pad.

Will be very interesting to see the Switch OceanHorn pricing. Under £12 for the other consoles, £5ish on the tablets...
Surely they can't go more than £20?
It's a game I've been meaning to play as it looks great.

I've made my mind up.
I'll buy a Switch after Mario Odyssey is released.
Its going to be everyone's 2nd games console of choice in 2018, much like how that helped the Wii, just without that instant universal appeal of using a simple Wiimote.
I can actually see it being a hit in the office lunchtimes - no one has really mentioned this, but i know many who would love a 30 minute de-stress smash bros match after lunch.
If I was still in highschool this would be an absolute must have break time item!
Thats why this will sell way more than most 'experts' people think. #notafanboy
