Page 2 of [VIDEO] Nintendo Switch announced

So yeah, not going to be a cutting edge powerful machine, but then this is Nintendo, when was that likely to happen?

Still not official though.
Pretty likely they'll ramp things back for battery life at the expense of performance..

On sale 3rd March priced at £279.99.

I wonder if that means Wii U's will be cheap soon? I'd have bought one a while ago if it upscaled Wii games, but they stupidly didn't do that did they. :/

First Nintendo console I haven't bought on or close to release day.  As they do, they've messed it up on so many levels it's not true.
Ridiculous price, awful launch line up (best game is available on my other console), overpriced accessories, terrible battery life and way under specced.  Yup, I'll still probably buy one at some point but maybe not..

Stats for 2016 look bad:

If they hadn't rescued things with the 3DS, this generation would have been awful for them I suspect.

A mate is a the launch event or something special for it, and so far his only post is "Mario kart is amazing"

So I'm guessing classic Nintendo, anything Mario or Zelda amazing, anything 3rd party, distinctly meh;)

Mario Kart is the Wii U game with a better Battle Mode.
But yeah, in fairness it is amazing.
