Jimmy Fallon Debuts the Nintendo Switch

Quote: President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aimé guides Jimmy through Super Mario Run before debuting the Nintendo Switch game system by playing The Legend of Zelda in front of creator Shigeru Miyamoto.

The Nintendo Switch looks awesome can't wait!

ShadowKnight2733d ago (Edited 2733d ago )

Day one and already pre ordered! Mario run is not coming to Android phones🤔 Zelda ny most anticipated game looks amazing and can't wait to stream my walkthrough on my twitch and YouTube channel 🙌🙌🙌

I'm going to put in so many hours in this game

Fishy Fingers2733d ago

No I think Apple got exclusivity. I imagine that wasn't cheap either.

ShadowKnight2733d ago

@Fishy Fingers

That sucks for Android users. Can't even play it on my galaxy smh. I hope it's a timed exclusive.

sinjonezp2733d ago

I have to say, super Mario run looks really good. Is it free to download and micro transactions, or buy the game and unlock things by playing? And I'm the switch, I like the premise. It seems Nintendo developed the machine based on what Sony tried to do with the PlayStation and the vita with remote play but not having to have multiple systems. So that is "cool". For me it's wait and see on Jan 12th.

Clover9042733d ago

From a Forbes article...

“They’ll be doing it first on iOS,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook as he introduced Miyamoto at the event. “They’ll be doing it in a brand new game, Super Mario Run.”

Mario Run is a timed exclusive.

Curious how different the WiiU and Switch versions will be!

And a deal with Apple is brilliant for Nintendo going forward!

People can say what they will and be as skeptical as they like, but that level of reaction and excitement resonates with the general population in a big way. I found it to be a bit cringe myself and skipped through a lot of it. But again, that level of excitement just sales products.

XanderZane2732d ago

I want one, especially if it's cheap. Will probably have to wait until next year after Summer though. System looks cool though. Hope it does a lot better then the Wii U. My daughter doesn't even play it as much anymore. Gotta get a few more games for her.

TXIDarkAvenger2733d ago (Edited 2733d ago )

Damn, Breath Of The Wild looks amazing on the Switch.

Genuine-User2733d ago (Edited 2733d ago )

I'm fully on board with Switch.

Edit: confirmed to run at 30fps.

Judging by the disagrees, some people are not fans of Nintendo I assume?

yup if you follow every post about nintendo youll notice a trend in fanboys from PS4 and xbone being negative as hell on every post. They also downvote the living hell out of every nintendo post. I think its because N4G has a lot of PS4 fanboys(not normal fans) but the kind that love console war bs.

starchild2733d ago

Yeah, I'm a Sony fan in the sense that the only consoles I own are Playstations (PS4 and PS3) and I like Sony's approach and the games they put out, but the fanaticism of many Sony fanboys on this site is hard to stomach sometimes. Anything not Sony--whether Nintendo, PC or Xbox--is always downplayed if not outright bashed. I think the Nintendo Switch looks really interesting and quite promising. The idea of a hybrid console that can act as a normal home console when at home and as a handheld when away from the house is brilliant.

Dumpling2732d ago

yeah man im also a Sony fan. I got my PS4 and a bunch of awesome jrpgs but i also love nintendo and if there were games that interested me on Xbone i would also have one. Im not a fanboy of any company. If you got cool games for your console i sure as hell will buy it. I just want to play fun games :)

Can't stand Jimmy Fallon and his fake plastic appearance. Switch looks interesting though.

Lou Ferrigno2733d ago

yea i'm on the same boat.. he overreacted a bit much for my taste .. i have never seen anyone that excited about something they know nothing about lol.

PurpHerbison2733d ago

He does this with every single guest. I'm still curious who is responsible for Fallons ascension in the entertainment world. There is somebody behind the scenes green lighting every step he takes and I want to know who the hell it is.

InMyOpinion2733d ago

@PurpHerbison - He's channeling the ghost of Ted Bundy.

XanderZane2732d ago

He seemed to know a lot about the Switch system. He was pretty knowledgeable.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

Take-Two CEO Doesn’t Think AI Will Reduce Employment or Dev Costs; “Stupidest Thing” He’s Heard

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.

lodossrage20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

They already have AI trained to do coding.......

How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.

CS718h ago

Company A has 300 employees and lays of 200 to replace them with AI to release the same quality game.

Company B has 300 employees and keeps all 300 but instead uses AI to release a game with dramatically larger scale, scope, complexity, short dev cycle etc.

Company B would release a dramatically better product by using humans + AI and consumers would buy the better game.

I actually agree with this concept.

Huey_My_D_Long18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

This is key facet. Its how the AI is used. It's actually is impressive as is and really would make an amazing addition to alot of people in their jobs, not just tech. It also has the potential for businesses to use to lay off large amounts of people, as much as they could to save money on labor. I hope too many companies don't go with the latter. But since usually companies are worried about bottom line over people...we will see some try and hopefully fail. But yeah, if its to help workers like in your company B scenario I'm totally down...Just scared Company A may be too enticing to some ceos and businesses.

Darkegg17h ago

Value of AI and value of humans will both be increased with human-AI complex. Each, by themselves, will not be independently better than the other. Whether AI will ever be independent from humans is the fear question of humans, ironically because of our doing. At this stage, most of the doing is because of humans, not because of AI. AI is doing exactly that by our design, until we have failed ourselves with an AI development that went awry. The biggest take is that humans have only ourselves to blame when things become wrong, and we have to decide what is the ultimate goal with AI we want to accomplish. It would take a person with high morals and high ethics to make right of AI. I would not want businessman to decide what AI should do or what capabilities it can have. AI should be in the hands of people with high moral fiber, or those operating on love, kindness, and compassion.

BlackOni17h ago

AI is SUPPOSED to be used as a tool, not a replacement. It's designed to do two important things artists can take advantage of immediately.

- Make the ideation/reference imaging process much quicker and easier (basically using it as a google search)
- Make mundane and time consuming tasks faster and easier so more time is spent on creation.

Unfortunately, what many have done is used it as a way to replace rather than supplement.

Einhander197214h ago(Edited 14h ago)

CS7

In the ideal world yes.

In the real world where companies have shown little desire to innovate and spent every effort to maximize profits the end result will be the same quality games (if were lucky) made by less people and more AI.

Company Real World: Fires 200 people and makes the same game cheaper using AI and the executives get record bonuses.

Edit:

Lets look at history, specifically auto manufacturing.

In the 70's and 80's the auto unions tried to oppose automation of jobs (robots) stating that they would take peoples jobs. And the people in charge who wanted to make more money said the exact same types of things that are being said about AI. But we can look at history and see that countless types of jobs were in fact replaced by automation, that was of course even compounded upon by computers.

The net effect was that the rich got richer less jobs were needed so wages were forced down by competition for the jobs that were left.

You can already make your own SFX with text prompts now as well, of course it will lower development cost and time

1Victor17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

WARNING WARNING ‼️ SARCASM AHEAD
Sure Strauss and robots didn’t take jobs from car factories.
Edit:Sad thing is he believes it and unfortunately he won’t be replaced for a long time by AI

senorfartcushion16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

He doesn't, he's just lying. These people lay people off so they can get bonuses. If AI takes jobs, their bonus goes bigger and the workforce goes smaller.

porkChop14h ago

Because he sees AI as a tool to aid development. He wants to use AI to help make bigger and better games in the same timeframe. Other CEOs want to replace devs with AI to cut costs and make lifeless games faster for a quick buck. Strauss has the right idea, this is how AI should be used. To extend and expand the capabilities of devs.

Zeref18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.

romulus2318h ago

As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.

RNTody18h ago

Hahaha yeah trust the CEO suit over the actual developers making the games. Good one.
