thsts more then ps4 and xb1 

think id rather pick up a xb1 then for 199 with a game and play all the exclusives

[Human Snorenado]

I have every confidence that the Switch will retail for AT LEAST $300. For fucks sakes, they're still selling the Wii U for $300.

Care to make it interesting?

I'd bet something dumb like a tag that no launch SKU of the Wii U will be >$295.

Control of avatar and tag for a month. Nothing obscene. I'll take that bet.

This is supposed to be a 'learn from our mistakes' machine. Pricing it for more than what a PS4 standard model goes for would be suicide. Which means they might.

TBF, every Nintendo console since the Nintendo 64 has been sold as that.

GameCube was a great little machine. Fight me.

[pilonv1]

thsts more then ps4 and xb1 

Going to have the same issues Wii U had price wise sadly

[CatsCatsCats]

Gamecube was kinda rad in its way, but it did totally convince me I needed a 360 the next gen

[Trent Dole]

N64 era to me is when Nintendo went from 'the only console you need, maan' to 'cool secondary Machine for N stuff and the odd exclusive'. GC had the comfy as fuck controller so I went for some multi plat stuff on it. If it was your only machine that gen you may not have had a very good time.

I'm assuming that Tasty agrees to this bet.

Which is great because due to a typo, I've already won. Both skus of the Wii U were over $295 at launch.

[Tasty]

Lol I meant Switch, this won't hold up in court.

[Human Snorenado]

A deal is a deal, Windows using pussy lover.

[Tasty]

I mean I'll do it but I'm still confident the Switch will be less than 295. If you're too much of a pussy to actually take the bet just say so.

[Human Snorenado]

Oh no. That bet stands too.

[Madrun Badrun]

[Tasty]

Great!

[Himu]

Okay so I seriously need a Wii u if only for the Nintendo games. Need some of that platformer action. I tried shovel knight and wasn't impressed. Feels like a mediocre mega man/duck tales to me. I need that Nintendo quality. Really want Wooly World and Tropical Freeze. Who wants to sell a Wii U?

Fucking Nintendo announce Wii u games for Switch!

[Himu]

Fucking shit, Wii u's are 300 bucks on Amazon. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. This thing should not cost more than 150.

[Human Snorenado]

Fucking shit, Wii u's are 300 bucks on Amazon. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. This thing should not cost more than 150.

And you guys seriously think they're gonna launch Switch for less than $299.

[Tasty]

There's literally no incentive for them to cut the price. They've stopped production. Anybody buying a Wii U now is just extra gravy for them.

[Himu]

My hope is 250 and that they learned their lesson from 3ds launch and Wii u. So far it looks like they've learned their lesson and are on the offense. It makes sense Wii u is so expensive. They want a return on it. Switch looks cheaper than Wii u to me. 200-250 seems like a good bet.

[Himu]

Yes! Nintendo!

[seagrams hotsauce]

I wouldn't be shocked if the Wii U increases in price. Nintendo shit doesn't depreciate at nearly the rate other game stuff does. It wasn't nearly as ubiquitous as the Wii and I would be surprised if you can get access to U titles on anything but the console itself for a good while

[Himu]

How powerful does your computer need to be to run CEMU?

Because if it's low I'll just add that 200 to my new computer fund and emulate.

[Rufus]

I don't know, never tried it myself. The guy who makes those videos always lists his specs. A recent Intel CPU would probably be best.

If Nintendo is going to combine their two hardware businesses (home console and portable) I can see them charging more than $300. 

I can also see them charging $99 for an additional TV dock and $79 optional controllers.

Fair enough, but you can emulate plenty of SNES/N64/GC titles that still go for anywhere from 40 to 100$+ though

[seagrams hotsauce]

How does the tablet emulation work on cemu?

[Rufus]

Not at all, as far as I can tell. It emulates the chip inside the tablet, but you use a USB controller to play. Not sure how they handle games that require you to look back and forth. They probably just switch what's being displayed right in the emulator window. edit: Yup, apparently you switch using tab.

[Sugar Pie Honey Bunch]

So they've basically given up on making underpowered consoles from three years prior and have moved on to making underpowered Android tablets from three years prior.

Coming in 2019:



it'll be in color

[Himu]

looks like someone's going to have an animal crossing avatar or something

http://www.nikkei.com/article/DGKKZO11376390W7A100C1ENK000/

[Raist]

The only thing I undertand on that page is 25,000 so I assume that's the rumoured price.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

In dollars. Quantum computing confirmed

[close]

[Himu]

Basically, Nikkei (who has been very on the mark with Nintendo leaks) says it will retail at 250 dollars.

[archnemesis]

That's a fair price, if they include an AC adapter and a game.

[Raist]

$99.99 or bust.

[Tasty]

$99.99 or bust.

You want Amazon Fire-tier hardware?

[chronovore]

$99.99 or bust.

You misspelled "OUYA."

[Tasty]

When was the big Direct showing for this again?

Thursday at 11pm EST, according to this:

[benjipwns]

Emily Rogers
‏@ArcadeGirl64
@ArcadeGirl64 Update: My Mario Kart report remains unchanged. It's a port with a ton of new tracks + new characters + New battle mode.

[D3RANG3D]

Dissapointment-ton incoming!

[benjipwns]

Should have posted in here...

My final predictions in no particular order:

1: Splatoon 2 is called Splatoon 2. Its a sequel to what should be the surprise of noone since why would Nintendo only port a online game? Come on now.

2: Splatoon 2 is bundled with NS...for $249.99 US DOLLARS. Thats right I'm being risky on this one.

3: Girl "Link' is confirmed. I predict tho it may not be revealed in the conference, that it has a fully customizable character creator including skin tones however thats because in the beginning your Zelda describing to Impa/Hyrulian Guards which random villager has the potential to be a hero and infuses them with hero power since the real Link is dead. The fusing takes 100 years to complete. I would love a real girl Link but this way girl Link would be canon since whoever you personally choose would be canon without affecting the timeline. To the rage of many (including me lol) they would go back to regular Link for most future titles with no custom unless they can fit it into the story again. Its a launch title worldwide.

4: Mario Rabbids Kingdom is a launch title.

5: 3D Mario is Holiday.

6: Retro's game is Kid Icarus.

7: New 2D Metroid game.

8: New Yarn game by Good Feel.

9: No Pikmin. Pikmin 3DS is Pikmin 4 to the meltdowns of many.

10: Persona 5 at Switch launch in Japan/April 4th in the west.

11: Monster Hunter XX announced for launch in Japan and Summer in the west.

12: Mario Musou announced for Summer.

13: Smash "Port" is called Smash 5. Same engine but showed as sequel with over a dozen mew characters. Atleast one shown off.

14: Mario Kart 9 announced. 16 New Tracks, 8 Retro Tracks from MK8, 8 Retro Tracks not in Mario Kart 8. Inkliing Playable.

15: New Pushmo announced because they're everywhere.

16: Game Cube VC rumors true. LM, MS, and SSBM at launch. $15 each,

17: If you have WiiU/3DS VC version you get discount here. Drip lineup again.

18: Joycon to buy with real D-Pad.

19: New IP starring Paper Clips. Big online game.

20: Zelda 2D Maker announced for 2017. NES, ALTTP, GBC, MC, and ALBW styles. Can create around 8 full rooms of a dunegon per a level.

21: Dark Souls 3 Complete Edition announced for release sometime after DLC is done.

22: Tekken 7 announced.

23: DanganRonpa V3 announced.

24: Tales of Berseria announced.

25: In addition to already known SE games, FFXIV announced. Nintendo allows cross play.

26: Rocket League announced.

27: Yooka-Laylee "officially" announced.

28: Xenoblade X port announced for 2017.

29: New Monolith game announced.

30: Something Shin Megami Tensei announced.

31: No ports from 3DS games like Mario Sports game.

32: Mother 3 announced. Lucina amiibo limited edition announced. Physical version has trilogy, is rom dump. $50. Mother 4 fan game is made canon and also included.

Nothing really outlandish imo. We shall see what happens and await to be wowed.

[Positive Touch]

benji why

[benjipwns]

NOTHING REALLY OUTLANDISH IMO

[Cerveza mas fina]

Final predictions

-launch with loads of ports
-many launch window games will get delayed to pad out a barren lineup with no 3rd party support
-still no unified account system
-some kind of pay monthly service like xbl and psn
-too high price

[tiesto]

Predictions:

-Mario, Zelda, Spla2n, and Pokeymans will be shown
-Smash is just WiiU Smash with all DLC included, maybe a few new stages and one or two new characters (Splatoon squids?)
-Some stupid Animal Crossing or Mii rubbish that will take up a large portion of the preview while I groan
-One big surprise western AAA that you wouldn't expect on a Nintendo console will show up
-New Monster Hunter, FF7, KH3, RE7 announced for it
-Another surprise Japanese game that hasn't been announced yet will be revealed, and will probably steal the show for me
-One old Nintendo franchise brought back from the dead (StarTropics by Retro PLEEEEEASE)
-Mother 3 on Virtual Console
-$249 pricetag, comes with dock, handheld, joycon. $299 pricetag comes with more internal memory, Spla2n, and a classic controller.
-No Metroid

[Joe Molotov]

Predicitions:

-There will be one or two really good exclusive games for it, so I'll have to buy this stupid thing.

[archnemesis]

Predictions:
- there is an account system, although purchases are still tied to the physical console
- launch titles are Switch Mini Game Collection (similar to Nintendo Land), enhanced Splatoon port, enhanced Mario Kart port,
- in Europe the system will launch three months late together with Zelda
- enhanced ports of Pokémon Sun/Moon and Super Smash Bros are scheduled for summer
- a new Animal Crossing be released in Q2
- a new 2D Donkey Kong  will be released in Q3
- a new 3D Mario game be released in Q4

[archie4208]

Predictions:
I will forget about the press conference because who the fuck has one at 11 PM? 

[bork]

-Zelda will be a launch title for Switch, but will release later on for the Wii U as a last 'fuck you' from Nintendo.
-Tekken 7 will be announced as a launch title.
-Hyrule Warriors XL will be announced, combining the Wii U version's graphics with all the extras in the 3DS version, plus more content.
-Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Smash ports will be announced.
-Some Ubisoft crap will be announced like Ass Crud.
-Bayonetta 2 (with Bayonetta 1!!!) will be announced so I can ditch my Wii U.  NINTENDO PLS
-Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash will be announced (apparently the Senran producer will be at the event), perhaps not shown on the stream for obvious reasons. 
-We'll all laugh at the lack of an account system or an entirely too-basic, fucked-up account system missing obvious features.
-Virtual Console will be barebones and fanboys will rage that they can't transfer shit over, but buy everything again for the third time anyway.
-The Switch will be too hard to find for months after launch.
-The Switch price will be $299. 
-This will be too high and sales will suck.
-Nintendo will slash the price by $50-$70.
-It will be too late and the system will be another flop.
-It will, however, end up doing well in Japan, where it will eventually replace the 3DS and Vita.
-What else is new?

[I'm a Puppy!]

My predictions:
- $299 price point
- Crappy virtual console
- Super Mario remaster (some modern Mario game in HD)
- Mario Kart HD
- Some "Meh" 3rd party
- New Pikmin
- New Nintendogs

My Hopes:
- Mario Galaxy 3
- Bayonetta 3
- Super Mario Bros 3 (or World) HD
- $249 price point
- New Metroid

[Take My Breh Away]

The only predictions I would probably put down

Games

- Splatoon 2, New Mario and Zelda BOTW at launch. Want it to be a hot item over the year
- Metroid happens, but it's a dev no one wants like Ninja Theory or MercurySteam assisting the main Nintendo team
- Smash 4 and Mario Kart 8 ports through the year with added content and a new Games as a Service model on both (Sakurai will probably step away from Smash though). Digital buyers on Wii U get a special "Upgrade" price but it wont be much.
- VC includes Wii and GC. F-Zero GX, Luigi's Mansion and a surprise of Rogue Squadron 2 on launch day. Mother 3 also arrives. Way more robust but you will still have to pay to upgrade.
- Rabbids RPG and Beyond Good and Evil 2. Ubi commits hard by saying an original Assassin's Creed separate from the next gen versions will appear on it.
- Minecraft Switch announced with Legend Of Zelda Mash-Up pack. Deal struck with Microsoft to finally get Rare games on VC with MS Studios publishing.
- 2K NBA and WWE announced. 2K iffy on other support
- EA pledges an exclusive, original Star Wars aimed at a younger audience along with FIFA/Madden/NHL. None of their other games will make it though cause lol
- WB has more Lego and possibly Injustice 2
- Bethesda will probably also bring a Fallout 4 GOTY edition port along with Skyrim SE
- Capcom will have Monster Hunter 5 and MvC Infinite. Maybe Resident Evil 7?
- Sega brings Sonic. Cause duh. Also Phantasy Star Online 2 port (Japan only) cause fuck you rest of the world
- Big Japan support from NISA, Spike, Atlus. DanganRonpa V3 arrives on launch day in Japan. A Persona 5 port with an expansion like FES/Golden also announced. SMT 5 is Switch Exclusive
- Big surprise: Blizzard has Overwatch for Switch with local 12 player LAN play and exclusive Nintendo cosmetics to be earned (Specifically aimed at Japan).
- Activision announces Crash N-Sane Trilogy for Switch as well. No COD or Destiny tho'
- Big announcement of ports of Undertale and Rocket League with new content at launch
- Some original indie titles making their debut at launch (One from Frozenbyte may have leaked)
- Indie support stays the same though they will announce console debuts of the sequels of some games that did well on Wii U e-shop like Steamworld Heist 2, Freedom Planet 2 and Runner 3 
- Squeenix announces Rise Of The Tomb Raider Anniversary edition port (More as a tech demo), Dragon Quest X and XI and teases a new RPG
- Bamco is working on smash, but will be doing Quick and dirty Tekken 7 and Tales Of Besaria ports along with anime
- Koei Tecmo will do another "Nintendo IP" Warriors game, pledge the other Musou games and port DOA 5 over because it still brings in the filthy otaku money.

Other shit

- Online will still be Butthole
- lol if you think it has achivements. Or Party chat.
- Seriously don't expect a modern online system. Archiac at best
- NNID account will bring purchases made on Wii U over but some will cost money to "Upgrade" (lol)
- OK you might get the typical apps after launch
- Some sort of easy Android APK porting system announced for a small, highly curated App system
- At least it only costs $249 for base SKU. $300 "special editions" will get you either Splatoon 2 or BOTW and extra memory. 

[Tasty]

The only predictions I would probably put down

<huge list of predictions>

Oh, is that it?

Gonna be similar to Wii and Wii U.

- $249
- March... *throws a dart* 26th release date
- Zelda cross-port at launch, last-gen version launches a month later
- Bunch of third-party PS4/Xbone ports
- Bunch of first-party Wii U up-ports
- Smash 4 and MK8 GOTY editions
- Mario de Amigo, which is Galaxy in a Dia de los Muertos-like setting, November 2017

spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Mother 3

[close]

I don't think they'd announce Pokemon Stars this early since the 3DS versions just came out, but who knows.

[Tasty]

-New Monster Hunter, FF7, KH3, RE7 announced for it

0% chance of MH since this doesn't seem to be Japanese-focused.

0-2% chance of FF7, feels like Sony's bankrolling that.

0-5% chance of KH3.

Pretty decent chance of RE7 but who gives a shit without VR support.

-Mother 3 on Virtual Console

Damn I thought I was being clever until I read your post. Here's hoping.

EMILY RODGERS OWES US!!!

[Tasty]

Wasn't Zelda confirmed not to be at launch not too long ago?

Really?

I also heard that the Switch will be severely limited at launch. Which makes me think it'll take a while before I both muster up the disposable money for it and find it.

Let's be honest, this is the case for all systems.

Not officially, IIRC, and all of the 'trusted' leakers are now saying it is a launch title.

No, he means Nintendo limited, which means insanely hard to find.  Like the NES Classic Mini.

[Himu]

- $250
- New Mario
- day one
- wii u ports

[Tasty]

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-11-15-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-will-miss-nintendo-switch-launch

I just heard it a while ago. Don't really expect it not to be but I wouldn't be surprised considering Nintendo is very much prone to strange moves.

Interesting. EG is pretty reliable.

If the timeframe is 4-6 months after December, then I'd bet they delay the Switch than Zelda and both end up releasing in April (right before Nintendo's FY ends?)

[bork]

Senran Kagura dev/producer Takaki is saying that he's wondering how Nintendo is going to introduce an interesting feature and how people will react to it.   Hmm...
