FUCK OFF. NO WAY. FUCKING SKYRIM?!

Nintendo Switch is an odd name

From the trailer, a new Mario platformer, possible new Splatoon and Mario Kart, Skyrim(I think?) and the Zelda we already knew about. 

No waggly bullshit, just great games at home and portable. Controller flexibility looks brilliantly conceived and exactly what I hoped it would be.

I found it on Twitter right after my last comment. Pretty cool concept.

Looks good.

Love my Wii U, if it's a new Splatoon on launch I'm sold.

Yeah, that was skyrim alright. I did NOT expect bethesda to be jumping in with both feet like this. Possibly paving the way for Fallout 4 on Switch. 
I have never seen a more desireable console at launch than this, congratulations nintendo. I bet basically everyone is a bit shaken now!

Yeah I want one. Would have been nice to see the game cards/cartridges though.

That looks super cool.

there's a VERY brief shot of one being slotted in. Seem very similar in size to the DS cartridges.

I've heard rumours devs have found it *extremely* easy to develop for, so that should help (and probably why Bethesda are happy). Maybe @FX_Munkee can confirm now it's in the open?

Cartridges look like DS / SD card size or so, which is great. With RAM so cheap that's better than having everything digital and stored on the unit.

Can't wait to hear more about the new Mario. 

And now I go into MEGAGEEK mode and note that the clip of Mario Kart is Yoshi Circuit from the GCN version, but more importantly, on the split screen bit at 1:42 they're carrying 2 items each, meaning we're going back to Double Dash tactics of holding items and being a dick to everyone, which is AWESOME news.

I frickin' love wikipedia. There's already a page for Switch games...

I really don't like technology adverts / promos where they point out that it would be really really great if they took over your life. Poor dog.
