So, why didn't Nintendo reveal the Switch at E3?

I dunno what Chinese dudes, if I remembered I would have said their name rather than just `Chinese dudes` There was a thread on here about them awhile back though.

TBH my criticism on the innovation thing was much more aimed at games and how people regularly complain about games lacking innovation. I`d much rather they take an old concept and improve on it than use some crappy new idea just so people can say `wow, so innovative!` Plus how some people say older games were the best because of their innovations, but really if newer games have taken those innovations and built upon them then they should be considered better by default.

The makers of the Morphus X300, Aikun, which was revealed last year. It essencially an Android tablet with wireless controllers.

As for the orginal topic. From what I can tell they didn't release it because they didn't have any software ready to be revealed and it seems they are still working on the software, which may be good or bad depending on how many make the showing in Jan.

I hope you don't seriously believe Nintendo only came up with the Switch last year. R & D would have likely begun before the Wii U already released. I'm pretty sure some Nintendo patents were already leaked a year or two ago that indicated Nintendo's direction. The Chinese thing looks like something that was quickly thrown together, maybe they did copy Nintendo based on their patents.
