Have you noticed?

No kids and families in the trailer.

That's kind of a switch, isn't it?

I think one of my favorite things is what this will mean for local multiplayer and co-op. No more split screen multiplayer. Mario Kart, Smash, Splatoon, etc will be great with this.

Also I hope Bethesda keeps their support with Elder Scrolls VI. I definitely can get into a portable vanilla Elder Scrolls to complement my PC version for mods.

But they showed split screen in the car!

Local multiplayer....what? Does a single console output to two displays like my PC? (are you referring to "2 consoles, 4 controllers local multiplayer" in the video? The PS2 could do that in a variety of games for examples armored core last raven and time splitters future perfect)

I sometimes hold lan parties at my house with psps, ps TVs/vitas, ps2s and ps3s, the most are the ps2, I have 4 of them (repaired by me) and a dedicated switch (ethernet switch) for gran turismo 4.

Of course if a friend brings its pc we also play Warcraft 3 and similar games.

What's new about this?

What about recent solutions like god eater 2 on ps vita or the latest monster hunter on 3DS?

Should it be a plus that a modern console has some games with lan support (offline)?

No it should be the norm by my standards, not everyone wants to play with lag too.

Third parties now mostly don't want to have a "lan mode" because they force you to buy the newer game when they decide is time to kill the server, they won't change their idea if they port a game to Switch, it will not be featured, nor splitscreen (even if it isn't ideal is useful sometimes).

Sorry I'm being rough, the device is sexy but those features you like are not new at all (I know you never said explicitly they are new, just saying) and more importantly won't be supported in multiplatform games.

Edit: if you find ethernet adapters you can play in lan with different gamecubes in mario kart double dash.

Super smash bros will be two duplicated screens (same image in both Switch consoles)



Persona 5 on PS3, I won't need next gen!

If the adoption rate of the Nintendo Next is as ubitiguous as the 3DS I see no point in using the split screen mode, unless your friend forgot their console. The controllers seem quite hampered, and not that fun to play with.  Just connect  the consoles through a local  area network . And sure the PS2, Gamecube, Original Xbox, etc could do it, but we aren't burdened with cables, peripherals, and a big console to lug this time around. It is there from the start, like with past handheld iterations. If you've ever played mario kart DS or Metroid Prime Hunters through download play with a group of people, you can understand how fun and relatively seamless the experience is versus a traditional lan party, and with the high quality support of Nintendo console games this will be quite nice. It integrates the handheld experiences of local multiplayer to home platforms.  

I never said this was new by the way. I was implying that the implementation makes it much more viable to have large groups play multiplayer games with great quality graphics.

I agree with you, you got a point, local multiplayer could be revamped and people who stopped using that feature long ago might reconsider its importance.

I hope developers reconsider too, when i heard NFS was full price and online only I was really disappointed (also they coincidentally removed NFS World from existance...XD)

But for me it is similar, I've never had problems with psps and ps vitas/tv in adhoc modes, but the ethernet cable is always the better choice for me and with multiple tvs I can build a more serious atmosphere and hope to get friends fired up more in the match, anayway it happens only once in two months, that is really bad :-S.

Thank you for your clarification and for being polite after reading my wall of text that might upset people.

So is this mobile-powered-tech console less powerful than a WiiU?
I've heard from a researcher at the university that Nvidia Tegra is in a SoC, so in the same place we have CPU, GPU and something else maybe, so this implies that NINTENDO SWITCH HAS ARM ARCHITECTURE CPU probably, just like the Nvidia Shield. Arm architecture also like the Playstation Vita/TV.
So we'll never see Fallout 4 on this console, if they could do that, they should have showed that, of course the pictures in the advert are emulated, the game mustn't be ready now, just to let people know they are working on it but Bethesda decided no, so they aren't working in porting their recent CURRENT GENERATION game, and what about future releases?
