3DS XL is still £170, cant see this being anywhere near £200.
*** Nintendo Switch ***

- Start date
Breath of the Wild will be the first new Zelda game on the Wii U.
Salt may be needed for this, but one of the editors (Tom Phillips) from EuroGamer tweeted this:
Now what Nintendo class as the 'launch window' is up to 90 days after release. So we could have zelda within the first 3 months of release! Never played Pikmin on the wii u, but heard good things about it. These are only 1st/2nd party releases, will be more 3rd party games to come.

If that's accurate I'm 100% in.
3D Mario, Mario Kart 8.5, Splatoon, Zelda.... that's a done deal for me!
Rumoured but looking more likely it's true. Probably talking mid 2017 now.
Well, we more meant launch as in as soon as it was released. But as I said, within 90 days after its launched it technically their 'launch window' which would be around mid June. Which would be mid 2017 as Malachi said.

More salt needed here. But looks a decent first year.

I'm not surprised to see Xenoblade X added to the list of rumoured ports, would be criminal not to re-release that beast 
.
I wonder what style of game the rumoured Mario Rabbids RPG could be... perhaps 2D in vein of Child of Light... if not then I'd guess maybe a top down Pokemon style or strategy RPG.
These new rumours (leaks?) have been coming quite steady, but probably inevitable considering Nintendo's plan to announce things so close to release.

I wanna say I read it was like a Paper Mario - but I could be making that up and getting my wires crossed. Never played Xenoblade series but I've heard good things! Part of me would like to see a hyrule warriors port, never played it, but it looks fun. But I'll try to get a copy for the Wii u.
Yeah at this stage it must be pretty hard keeping anything a secret. Wonder if we'll get anything else. Would imagine all the big stuff has been mentioned, but I'd guess maybe a couple more 3rd party stuff will come out.
Correction: New Nintendo 3DS XL is that price.
And I will say that original models of the 3DS seem to have stopped being produced, they're out of stock everywhere and unlike last year, there are no black friday deals for 3DS hardware. Stocks of even the newer models of 3DS are not that great. Which is strange to say the least... (Nintendo trying to make a last squeeze of money from the 3DS?)
The only new bundles and such coming out are mostly 2DS, which are all usually well under £100. Even then, by now Nintendo would normally have released another iteration of the 3DS (like a new new 3DS) and knock the prices of the current model down a tad for it. But I guess they've done the Switch instead, which is a much better thing.
Think about it, right now you can get a basic WiiU for ~£200 and the premium one for a bit more. It makes sense if the basic model of the Switch is £200 and then the pro version with a game and possibly a pro controller is £50 more. Would also make sense considering the power of this thing, it's not that much faster than a WiiU.
Definitely salt needed. I'm personally a bit put off by the large proportion of ports/remasters/re-releases (it's far too reminiscent of the other consoles this gen, who haven't had as strong a line-up of games as previous gens). Though I don't think Mario Kart is Mario Kart 8, if only because of double items. It's either a new Mario Kart of a HD remake of Double Dash.
I know somewhere else (IMDB listings for Charles Martinet AKA Mario's voice actor) there's rumours that there will be a Mario Sunshine HD remake and Mario Galaxy 3. The latter may have been the Mario game shown in the reveal trailer.
It's still a good line-up if true though. I love XCX, so more folks playing that would be appreciated. I'm wondering how they'll do the bottom screen when playing on just the TV, even the gamepad-only mode required touch controls for the interchangeable bottom (gamepad) screen.
It'll be interesting to see what Nintendo does with the DS handheld line given its now effectively being superceded by the switch. I wondered if they'd keep it around, as a cheaper option for kids, or drop it in a hurry and focus purely on the switch. It's looking like the latter option by the lack of supply of DS's.
Not sure if accurate but Nintendo Life were posting that a new budget 3DS is coming out in the US, might be why stock is drying up if a new version is incoming, maybe they'll release here too.

Hmmm not that keen now really if those launch titles are to go by. Seems to be a lot of remakes/remasters/ports. Theres only one AAA title on launch which will be Mario. Shame Zelda and the new Mario Kart wont be launching day one.
Will probably still pick one up if the new Mario title shows promise.

Yea. Would have loved a new Mario Kart, not the same game with maybe a few editions. My guess is the dlc will come as standard and maybe a few more tracks or something. If graphics are improved or maybe it plays 1080p instead of 720p, that would be interesting. But really would much rather have something new.
I suppose it makes sense for them to get as many games on the system as possible at launch to give them time for new ones. But I hope we don't have to wait 3+ years for a new Mario Kart or other new games made directly for the Switch.
That Mario RPG sounds good, if done well I would certainly buy that.
I wonder if titles like Resident Evil will make it to the Switch, I remember when they were exclusives for the GameCube, the Resident Evil remake had excellent graphics for its time. Wish they made more games with pre-rendered backgrounds today, just imagine what would be possible with today's tech. Would love a new Resident Evil or Dino Crisis made with pre-rendered backgrounds.
Yeh I would have expected more completely brand new content for the system/exclusives, not one or two games, pretty poor to be honest just relying on rehashing old titles.
Having said that we don't know for definite what the launch titles are going to be yet so it could change and I will still probably buy it despite my bitching!
Yea, I am buying one on release regardless. New Mario will keep me busy until the new Zelda is out, so not a problem
