Here's some topic's I'd like to talk about.

-The Switch and Red Dead Redemption 2 were announced on the same day. Could this be a coincidence? It could be. Rockstar Games is actually a property of Take-Two Interactive, who is in support of the Switch.

-The Switch looks like it will either be backwards compatible or just have new games entirely. From the looks of it looking at the footage of Mario Kart and Splatoon (which were assumed to be sequels to MK8 and Splatoon), they just look like ports. But what really has my attention is The Elder Scrolls and the new 3D Mario game that was shown, which seem to be brand new. It looks like we're going to be getting a new and totally different Elder Scrolls game that is not Skyrim on the NX, as confirmed as I type this(lol). As for the new 3D Mario game, it looks totally new. It doesn't look like a Super Mario 3D World port. The question is: What is it? Is it Super Mario Galaxy 3? I don't think so, but some others may think so.

-The controller itself looks like it'll be a handheld-console hybrid, as many publications suggested. Apparently, you can pull the "tablet" from the console and detach the two sides of the master controller onto the tablet. I noticed there is what looks like a disc slot in the tablet. So does this mean it will run on discs? However, I may be wrong because it is seen in the trailer that a cartridge is being inserted into the tablet. Speaking of detaching the sides, going back to the topic of Mario Galaxy 3, you could say that the new 3D Mario game COULD IN FACT BE Mario Galaxy 3. If you remember on the Wii, the Wii used the Wiimote's motion controls for the spin attack that Mario uses. Those detachable sides of the master controller greatly resemble the Wiimote

-It looks like the 3rd party companies weren't kidding when they lend their support to the system. It looks like NBA 2K17 will be heading to the Switch, a sports game. We haven't seen that in a while on a Nintendo console due to 3rd party support dropping massively with the Wii U. Other projects coming to the system include Sonic 2017, the untitled Elder Scrolls game, Just Dance 2017, and Dragon Quest X and XI.

-The trailer itself doesn't feel as family-friendly as most of Nintendo's marketing commercials/trailers in the past. As a matter of fact, this feels like it's targeting more older audiences in the signature casual way for Nintendo. This is a good thing. This signs that Nintendo is taking a turn for the older audiences.

So, what do you guys think? Do you think this could be Nintendo's big step back into the market? Or will this just be another flop? Let's discuss!

Just a random reaction video I did on the Nintendo Switch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9ftFX73a9Y

Made a mistake.

The supposed "disc drive" are just the insertable slots for the Switch.

You do have a good point.

Rockstar hasn't really made their games for Nintendo. So I guess that debunks everything about RDR 2 being on the Nintendo Switch.

Its going to be Mario Kart 8, but for the Switch. It has a brand new system, the two item slots may indicate a double dash mode. Or...

... since you can SWITCH in-between items... jokes

Splatoon 2 looks nice. I highly doubt its a port since there's new hair styles, weapon designs, and overall graphics. That test map tho... surprising how much the Splatoon team did in 4 months.. or maybe the team started work early? I also noticed the pants, you can customize how long you want them to be. I also saw one Inkling wearing gloves.

Now for the Mario Game, I got really excited and thought it was Super Mario Galaxy 3, but we can't say for sure. Mario only double jumped in the trailer, which he can do in SMG and SM3W. He didn't spin jump which could have indicated that.

I can't wait for the Nintendo Switch, but lets see how reasonable the price is going to be... 300$ at launch?

As I was saying, Nintendo Switches 3rd-party support looks pretty good.

I can't wait to rebuy games I had on the Wii U with some new content. >.>

ALl of that aside, cool reveal. I thought they sold it really well, I think the name while I don't love it, sells the console. I really liked the trailer. My problem is it should have been announced earlier. It was exactly like what the leaks said it was, and since they held out so long, it didn't have a huge impact.

"Rockstar hasn't really made their games for Nintendo. So I guess that debunks everything about RDR 2 being on the Nintendo Switch." What about GTA on the DS?

@Zyp

It was on the DS? Wow. Did not know that.

But still, that's one game. Rockstar has been shallow with their support on Nintendo's systems.

@Decompromiser

You just explained why it was shallow. GTA: Chinatown Wars is one of the best games on the 3DS (I think it has the highest Metacritic score for any DS game) that was literally a full GTA game, but on a handheld. It was top down though, however it was so expansive.

No one bought it though. It sold awfully. That's why Rockstar doesn't put their games on Nintendo systems.

They had Bully on Wii too by the way..

at that time the DS was revolutionary in terms of sales and 2D gta was still popular making it an easy decision

@live

Give it time the console was just announced. Plus, it's set to release in March. That is EARLY.

Games don't start coming out until Fall because of sales. Plus, there's still a large amount of 3rd party support for the system. Usually when there's more 3rd party games, there are less 1st party games. People usually buy a system for the 3rd party titles. However, this is Nintendo we're talking about. They'll make 1st party titles no matter how much 3rd party support there is. Also, Splatoon 2, the mysterious Mario Kart game(which I think is just a re-release of MK8), and a brand new 3D Mario were already shown for the Switch. As well as Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That's 4 Nintendo games for the Nintendo Switch. You can expect there will be more.

I hope they have a new Pokemon game on the switch that ISN'T Sun or Moon. I've been anticipating a Pokemon game with a campaign for so long to come to a console. I honestly just want to use the Mii's as the main character.

i doubt that mii's are coming to the nintendo switch, that was more of the wii console thing, and nintendo's already said they didn't want to make another successor to the wii.

if there were mii's, though, they would have definitely shown them in the reveal trailer.
