Did you play much of the Galaxy games on Wii? I thought they were excellent personally, very innovative.

But this is done right. The PS vita thing is awful really - I've had one since release btw.
Plus you can't play Mario on it
Shame I can play Mario for hours, and hours. It just ooozes quality everytime. I don't need to wait on day one patches, or new DLC or whatever it work straight out the box just like everything Nintendo produces.
For me mario is boring. i get more enjoyment out on other games. Life is too short to just play one franchise. There is a whole leap of other franchises to discover and play.
Mario for me hasnt been relevant for the last 15 years.
Random thought. I hope the dock has an ethernet connection. I'm all for wifi but I do prefer hardwired networking when at home.
you're not the only one. If it wasn't for the fact I mainly play offline games on the Wii U, I did actually research some USB to ethernet adapters just in case!
I enjoy proper platformers. Not necessarily just Mario. But thats usually what Mario does well, hence the enjoyment.
A game I love on the Xbox One for example is Ori and the Blind Forest. Amazing.
But we had the original GTA round about the same time(Which was a beast of a game back then.) and it didn't stop me playing and massively enjoying Zelda:OOT.
I just prefer Nintendo trying something different rather than teraflop chasing like the others. If you want gorgeous looking games at high FPS PC is your only real option anyway... At least until the PS5/Xbone2 come along. I cant see the Scorpio or the 4.5 mastering 4k at high FPS anyway.
"Please look at the TV" - Almost every Wii U game I've played so far. Guess I better go back downstairs and see what it wants: "Press A to Continue"

You have little to no chance. It will be Wi-Fi with probable option of adaptor.
Yes it is still relevant I loved Witcher 3 my GOTY, Zelda will always be popular is different and has wider target audience.
This really does look good! I don't want Nintendo going up against Sony/Ms in the POWER race, I have a pc for high res high framerate games. I want Something different from Ninty, and this ticks all the boxes for me. I showed the reveal trailer to my daughter yesterday and the first things she said was wow and can we get one! Say what you want about Mario and Zelda games but they sell consoles. Mario 3d world was played for hours and hours in my house, we loved every minute of it. In my opinion there is more innovation and love put into Mario 3d world then the last 5 Call of duty or fifa games.
I'm not sure that's a good indicator of the price the Nintendo Switch will be.
The Nvidia Shield doesn't include any controller or dock. It's £49.99 (RRP) for a separate Nvidia Shield controller for example. Also the Shield K1 is a slight re-brand of older hardware where this is likely to be newer technology (more RAM and storage etc.).
I would guess this is going to be more expensive than the current price of the Nvidia Shield. Even Nintendo's older 3DS consoles still sell for £180.

Agreed, and i would be happy to pay that from what i've seen already.
£300 (16gb) / £340 (32gb) / £400 (64gb): Brexit Tax, weak £, logistics, localisation, Nintendo Tax.
