​

The Nintendo Direct wasn’t all that Nintendo had to show this week, as a surprise trailer has gone up on their channel, showing off something unexpected. A belt-like object is featured in the video, being used in a variety of ways, such as a bow, a steering wheel, and on one’s leg as a fitness tracker. The product seems to have a focus on multiplayer gatherings and parties, with players needing one of the belt-like devices and a Joy-Con strapped in to make use of it. More information and details are scheduled to be revealed on September 12th.

Look at all these actors from all over the world pretending to enjoy a fitness game, ooooooo.
Zero gameplay.... who... who would want this from that alone?
It's just plastic with handles and you do weird things with it... oooo kay.
Sad it's just a piece of plastic though bow shooting rail gun games would be admitingly fun with it.
Still it just comes off as really goofy.
Kinda makes me wish they'd bring back Wii Sports as Switch Sports that really wasn't bad.
Not exactly the next Wii board here.
Least its not "Labo Carsboard Fitness" or something.

My favorite is the dude who aggressively jerks the thing with a frustrated face

Lost pretty much 99% of my interest for Nintendo with the Switch with what they release anymore (apart from the very few things worth and exclusive), this is like the nail in the coffin. Instead of screwing around with crap like this, they should really, really, just focus on releasing more 1st party exclusives, rather than rehash the WiiU library. Nothing wrong with it on it's own, but COME ON.

I'm not sure I want to know?

Wonder if they didn't actually tell the actors what it actually is or how it's used and all that is just them improvising random thing

Yep. As a DOA console, WiiU was never going to get this kind of support. Two Pokemon games, a Luigi's Mansion game, a Fire Emblem game, an upcoming Metroid Prime game, going on three Zelda games...all we're missing is a Mario Sunshine HD or Sunshine 2 and Switch will have the most stacked library since GCN.

Who cares if they release ridiculous peripherals, that doesn't take anybody away from the software development side. It's just good for a laugh.

I'm sure ther not pretending as doing exercise triggers part of the brain to become happy

 

[toxic9]

if I want to play videogames I should buy a switch, and if I would like to workout I also buy a switch,
then what are the purpose of gyms?

 

[Searinox]

I need an adult after that video

Nintendo selling bondage gear now?

More like a strap-on. |3

 

[wiewiec]

WTF is this shit?

the circle ain't made of rubber, yo. it seems rigid. look like a spring.

Yyyyeeeeaaaahhh....of course it wouldn't be nintendo if their marketing made any sense. My guess is their agenda looks a bit like this:

10/9: (properly) announce a peripheral device (a rubber band) that requires 2 joycons

20/9: release a switch version without detachable joycons

30/9: planned emergency meeting on why the switch lite doesn't sell

GG, nintendo. GG.

As for 30/9, it'd be a case of the Chad OG Switch Refresh DESTROYING the Virgin Switch Lite with DETACHABLE CONTROLLERS, MUCH LONGER BATTERY LIFE, BEING DOCKABLE (otherwise, WTF is this system still being called the Switch if there's no way of "switching" without doing something only those of us on this forum would be interested in doing in saying that the Lite "can't dock" by fucking about with the Lite's motherboard), WORKING WITH ALL OTHER ACCESSORIES YOU ALREADY BOUGHT FOR YOUR SWITCH, and of course, FACTS, LOGIC, and COMMON SENSE!

So you want 3-4 Switch?
The team who makes this random shit is the one who made Labo, 1-2 Switch, Miitopia, Nintendo Badge Arcade.
This year Nintendo is also releasing 2 new IPs: Astral Chain and Daemon x Machina.

It feels like the latter took quite some time to finally come out...
