Last week Nintendo finally lifted the lid on the Nintendo Switch its next generation video game platform which is due out in March. In the trailer used to show off the system we saw a number of titles being played including Skyrim, Splatoon, Mario Kart and more. However, Nintendo has told Eurogamer that the video was simply a proof of concept video and that “You shouldn’t assume what you saw on the video represents actual game footage.” That’s certainly interesting. Nintendo has said that it will reveal more about the Switch sometime next year.

This video is all about explaining how the Nintendo Switch works. We wanted to convey in a self-contained video how Nintendo Switch represents a new era for video game systems enjoyed in front of a TV, by letting gamers play anywhere, anytime, with anyone they choose. It adds the mobility of a portable system to the power of a home gaming system.

At a later date, before the March launch, we’ll be talking about things like exact launch date, and of course, the games. You shouldn’t assume what you saw on the video represents actual game footage and further specifics on first-party games will be provided later.

Odd thing to say... Why shouldn't we assume that it is switch gameplay within a switch trailer?

Only Zelda BOTW seem to be a definite game coming to it.

I have no idea what they are trying to say here. Is this because some people complained about the framerate of the footage, or because the concept doesn't work exactly as they showed it on the trailer?

"game footage not final; graphics and features subject to change"

maybe because breath of the wild was running at 12 fps, but was a simulated screen not the device itself.

Kart and Sploon were most likely just mock-ups, Skyrim too. That should be obvious.

Why would they simulate a screen of a game running in 12fps?

Yes, for sure, but there is a huge difference between "game footage not final" and "you shouldn't assume this is game footage".

Makes you wonder if the transition to TV and back to tablet will be as smooth and quick as shown on the video.

If Nintendo fail to live up to the trailer, they will have buried the console before it even stood a chance through stupidity and fear. The press will never live it down.

Maybe they are making the same mistakes as the Wii U...
