That's great news.

I think the Switch is way more powerful than people that moan about it being underpowered think.

Some of the comments on that video are cringeworthy, 'Looks like a PS4 game'. By all means get hyped, but come on, let's not be silly.

That being said the game does look like good fun, it's one i'd be interested in. Anything wipeout'esque is worth a look from where i'm sitting.

I hadn't read the comments. But agree on the wipeout-esquenessess of it. It caught my eye when I first saw it I instantly thought "Wipeout!"

Fond memories of that game.
 
Tatsumi Kimishima told Japanese business paper Nikkei that the Switch's online services will be priced at ¥2,000-¥3,000 (£14-£21 at time of writing).

Kimishima also said Nintendo is "studying" adding virtual reality functionality to the new console. "If we are able to resolve the issues with playing [VR] comfortably for long hours, we will support it in one form or another," he said, without providing a time frame

wow - official poll by nintendo UK twitter on what games people are buying at launch:

05%1-2-Switch
85%Zelda: Breath of the Wild
07%Super Bomberman R
03%Snipperclips

More people would prefer to buy a rehashed 90's nostalgia game (Bomberman) than the technically unique selling point 1,2,Switch!
I swear that game is getting a price cut come summer!

In all fairness, Bomberman is one of the best local multiplayer games ever created and has lasted 30 years. There hasn't been a Bomberman release for a while too - to my knowledge anyways - and there's likely a bunch of people who have never played it. 1, 2 Switch, in comparison, looks a little poo!

Does anyone know if you can play Bomberman Switch with one of the detachable pads? So two players per machine.

I'm not, im kinda paying attention to the launch of the switch and I've never seen anything of it, only heard about it..

Still not cancelled my pre order, I'm going to Folkestone in march for a long weekend and might get it for that, see how it handles the journey of planes and trains.
 
Just managed to snag a pair of tickets for a hands on with the Switch event in London on 25th Feb!

Excitement levels just went up a few notches!

This will eventually happen if the Switch is a big success I think. But won't know until 2018/19. Nintendo are being clever on this occasion, makes no sense to put all eggs in one basket at the moment.

AKA Nintendo are not ahowing full confidence in the Switch. Which will honestly bite them in the back, as all the rest of the industry is waiting to see if it will be successful or not, before accepting it with open arms. If Nintendo themselves don't want a part of it, then it's dead in the water, worse than the WiiU ever was. Probably explains why shares have dropped. Folks caught onto Nintendo's lack of faith and don't want a part of it any more.

The Switch's strength is fast becoming a weakness. Hell forbid that we will still be stuck with the ancient (in terms of hardware, 2YO refresh made no difference) and overpriced 3DS line...

Absolutely this. Can't believe they openly said a 3ds successor isn't off the cards. What possible benefit is there from telling the public that?

Sheer stupidity.
