Any word on what free classic NES/SNES game will be available at launch?
No word
I predict: Urban Champion, Excite Bike, and original Mario Bros
Leaked UI screens but it's old so some things probably changed.
People are going to be very disappointed in Ultra Street Fighter II if they played any recent fighting game. It looks like a touched up version of SF2 Remix we played damn near 10 years ago and that game has not aged well AT ALL.
nope. read. Ultra Street Fighter 2 for Nintendo Switch Has Online and 1st Person Mode
they added a shyt load of features and if it sells well on switch they'll release it on other systems
We have Satori Iwata to thank for the Switch. RIP. What a legacy to leave behind. It took him having to die for Nintendo to get their collective mind right in every area of marketing and developing this console and ecosystem.
Also a neat tidbit on how the creator of Gameboy Gunpei Yokoi RIP philosophy is incorporated into the Switch.
10 Things Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto Told Us About Switch
I know you weren't as personally involved with Switch's development, but were there any tables flipped?
Nothing really in terms of 180 degrees, but myself, Mr. Takeda and Mr. Iwata were more providing feedback during development. So a lot of the younger staff would give us presentations, and we would give them feedback and make decisions if necessary. The feedback that we did provide I think was put to good use, and I don't think there were any times where we had major clashes of ideas. If anything, we had to think about how to make Switch unique, and there's a certain cost associated with that. So it was like, "Oh my God, it's going to be a lot more expensive. How are we going to deal with this?" We struggled with that together as a team.
Is there anything in particular about Switch that reflects Satoru Iwata's involvement? [Iwata was Nintendo's president from 2002 to 2015, and passed away in July 2015.]
I mentioned that Mr. Iwata, Mr. Takeda and myself provided feedback and made decisions, but ultimately Mr. Iwata was the head of development, so he put a lot of thought and time into Switch. I think that the idea of Nintendo Switch being a device you can take out and anywhere, and the idea of it being a system that really allows networking and communicating with people, I think that's something Mr. Iwata put a lot of emphasis on.
Because Mr. Iwata was tech-savvy, a lot of our discussion involved trying to figure out how to make the technical things like network capabilities or servers or whatever fun. For example, think about when we added the ability to use a browser on the DS [Nintendo's two-screen gaming handheld—the browser was added to North American systems in 2007]. As time goes on, all of these services become more and more advanced, and so we need to think about "How do we incorporate mobile devices or new browser features that come up?" That's something Mr. Iwata and I discussed a lot, really trying to decide what to do and what not to do in our hardware.

Smh at me buying a switch exclusively to play Street Fighter. But the novelty fir me is that i can do it lying in bed or taking a shiit (where i used to play SF Alpha during my younger portable days).
Feel like a fukkin kid again, lol.
Edit: just found out these japs wont be including Wifi capabilities during Switch Launch.
Thats some bullshiit. Now if i go travel (got a bachelor party in a remote resort im planning w friends).... Now i gotta bring my phone, Switch... AND a tablet for internet. Fukk is the point of calling this a mobile console without web browsing functionality? Sounds dated and any arguments are not welcome. No debating this horseshiit.
Nintendo will get major backlash for this shiit. Im holding out until wifi is packaged in it.
Think ima buy a car now with no power windows? What kind of backwards, antiquated mindset in development is that.
If i want to play SF while im taking a shiit... Then browsing Coli for breakfast --- on the same fukkn device with a portable screen, shiit should be a no brainer.

Really hope the eGPU rumor is true. Would be a cool feature -- like the N64 Expansion pak on steroids. You could potentially have Switch games looking as good as PS4 Pro games.
