[Brief Keef]

They're moving on from those platforms obviously...

[Brief Keef]

So Gamexplain actually got one of the dudes from the trailer for an interview.


He says the Switch pro controller it's one of the most comfortable controller's he's ever held and that there's more to the joy con controllers that hasn't been revealed yet.

@ the part where he said him and another dude were drawin dikks and t*ts on the chalkboard

Eurogamer contacted Nintendo regarding the trailer's production and asked how it was all put together.

"This video is all about explaining how the Nintendo Switch works," a UK spokesperson said. "We wanted to convey in a self-contained video how Nintendo Switch represents a new era for video game systems enjoyed in front of a TV, by letting gamers play anywhere, anytime, with anyone they choose. It adds the mobility of a portable system to the power of a home gaming system.

"At a later date, before the March launch, we'll be talking about things like exact launch date, and of course, the games. You shouldn't assume what you saw on the video represents actual game footage and further specifics on first-party games will be provided later."

Really hope this is untrue. As someone on gamefaqs said:

Yes, if Nintendo made a separate handheld to compete with it, it would fail. However, I highly doubt they're that stupid.

 

[Fatboi1]

the trailer was just to show how the NS would work in a nutshell. There is still another blowout with games, actual footage and launch stuff/pricing yet to come.

Really hope this is untrue. As someone on gamefaqs said:

No way it can fail. not everybody wants to carry a tablet around for mobile gaming plus handhelds are always cheaper

 

[Black Ball]

What them technical specs & battery life looking like though? What about the true performance of the wifi gaming?

You said this as people buy tablets strictly for gaming and not for other uses

[Kingshango]

That Gamexplain video went private. Nintendo might have murked the dude who talked.
