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.

PunisherRevenge2728d ago

The Nintendo Switch looks awesome can't wait!

ShadowKnight2728d ago (Edited 2728d 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 Fingers2728d ago

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

ShadowKnight2728d ago

@Fishy Fingers

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

sinjonezp2728d 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.

Clover9042728d 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.

XanderZane2727d 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.

TXIDarkAvenger2728d ago (Edited 2728d ago )

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

Genuine-User2728d ago (Edited 2728d 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.

starchild2728d 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.

2728d ago
Dumpling2727d 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 Ferrigno2728d 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.

PurpHerbison2728d 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.

2728d ago
InMyOpinion2728d ago

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

XanderZane2727d ago

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

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B12h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

Kaii11h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

helicoptergirl11h ago

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

[Exclusive] Xbox Reaches Agreement With Batman: Arkham Trilogy Creators For A New AAA Game

Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.

Lightning7710h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan9h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer19929h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning778h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink6h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

Dirty_Lemons2h ago

I loved the old Punisher game back in the day. Those executions never got old.

porkChop1h ago

I don't think it needs to be Marvel. It needs to be a totally new IP. That's what Rocksteady should have done after Arkham City. They've pigeonholed themselves as DC devs.

MIDGETonSTILTS179h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv729h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot8h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink6h ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning775h ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

Profchaos5h ago

The more the news evolves the more I'm inclined to believe we will see MS embrace full third party status but not call it third party in their word soup ways.

It will be Xbox everywhere plays best on a Xbox.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be a reference design similar to the 3d0 where any company can make and sell it.

If you're offloading hardware costs to a third party yet still profiting from the games then you've cut out losses on the hardware you still have a store front that users can use and still make a 30 percent cut on that.

Your games sell for a profit on PS and Nintendo platforms and on Xbox reference hardware along with PC

You lose .kney on DLC and games sold on a competitor storefront they are seemingly already comfortable with this.

The ms bean counters are coming for the ROI that was promised they don't care if they kill the brand as it stands Xbox was never a profitable business it was always just done for reputation

PhillyDonJawn5h ago

@Lightning the would end the console then. No one would buy Xbox over PS at that point cause now you get both with just a PS. If GP flop for them, Logically, rolling back on GP would be the smarter than to do. No more day 1 title. Less quality titles. They'd lose subs but people would go back to buying the games.

Lightning773h ago

@Philly They could scale back gamepass put Indies only, AAA 1st party games coming 4 to 6 months from release. The thing is MS will have to tell their fans to buy their games again and that's gonna take years and years to condition them to buy games again. MS will lose money from that also. They'll lose out on gamepass revenue, lose out on games sales because their fans don't buy as many games anymore.

I can't see them scaling back or axing gamepass it does make them allot of money, they just want more money from it. They're not gonna condition their fans to start buying games either.

As I said they'll go full 3rd party and yes you ate right, if they do that then there would be no reason to buy the next Xbox. I know j won't be, you better hope the next 6 months they advertise the games and GP there little hearts out because this could be it.

Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?

rlow17h ago

Gears is another big game one.

purple1017h ago

Yeh big game, do you know the name of the lead character. Or team of lead characters. I don’t

rlow16h ago

Marcus, Dom, Cole Train. And I can’t remember the fourth.

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Also the chick from gears 5 seems to pop up on all their modern advertising I can't remember her name either.

Cars also feature heavily in a Xbox ad it's always master chief front and centre with cars and maybe a gears character hanging around

Boosteroid Plans On Adding More AAAA Titles Exclusively To The Service

The VP of Marketing at Boosteroid revealed that the company is in talks with major publishers to secure exclusive games on the service.

Relientk771d 17h ago

So they're adding Skull and Bones to their service? That doesn't seem exciting at all lol.
