Nintendo's very own Reggie Fils-Aimé and Shigeru Miyamoto appeared on the latest "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to promote the upcoming Super Mario Run. As a surprise, Reggie brought the company's upcoming home console/handheld hybrid to the show, flawlessly running the upcoming installment in The Legend of Zelda series:

It might be hard to realize that the console is actually a real thing coming in only a few months, after so many circulating rumors before its announcement and only an official introductory video released. But there it is, proof and all and it is actually our first live look at the machine in action. Reggie added that more details about the Switch will be shared on January 12th.

Bonus video: watch the multi-talented Shigeru Miyamoto play the Super Mario Bros. theme live on guitar below:

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


which won't cut it

The Switch will most likely have the new Tegra X2 chip which is based on the Pascal architecture which in terms means great performance with low power consumption - best used in.... You guessed right, tablets. There are also rumors that the Switch underclocks to save battery while in 720p mode and goes full power while plugged in at 1080p - the Ps4 barely handles 900p so there's that. My guess is the Switch is going to be as powerful or even more than the xbone or Ps4

No. It's even possible that Nvidia only supplied the gpu or less than that gpu design with other parts from the two Japanese companies. Xbox one can barely do 900p, not PS4.

Not to mention the X2 isn't even in any other device at this time, so further updates from Nintendo/Nvidia could add ACTUAL stability rather than being used as blatant filler text.

Exactly, not to mention the benefits the Switch will receive with the new API NVIDIA developed specifically for it. People don't take it seriously because it's basically a tablet but my guess it's gonna be one of the biggest surprises of 2017.

Totally agree. I'm thinking not much else has been announced on the specs because Nvidia probably has some NDA with Nintendo. I'm assuming Nvidia is going to announce the Tegra X2 with more details this month or next, and this is also why Nintendo is announcing a Jan 12th date for more details. Perhaps it will be a joint press release for both companies similar to what we saw the day the launch trailer for the Switch came out.

Shit console, shit controller, nice game.

Damn, confusing feels.

 

[T3GZdev]

Anyone else notice the menu pop up & the sound when he disconnected from the mount? Perhaps it will give you different options when you disconnect like use as gamepad, or off tv play.

Why is it shit? I mean, it's not even out yet.

 

[DinohScene]

Look at Foxi's article.
Pretty much sums it up.

 

[KingVamp]

Probably because some people will remain jaded, no matter what Nintendo would have done.

 

[flame1234]

High res graphics (north of 900p) don't make games better and if they make it harder to develop then it becomes a net negative.
60 fps does make games better so hopefully Switch will be capable of that. I think Nintendo knows 60 fps makes games better - they have made 60 fps game in the past - hopefully they will make that effort for BotW.

Yeah but it's still not released.

>The fact they showed this first on late night television

sigh

Fricking Jimmy Fallon is intolerable.
I could only think why can't the asshole STFU during the whole video.
Screaming like an annoying bad actor waiting for the paycheck.

PS: I don't like Jimmy Fallon, in case it wasn't evident.

This. It's still nice to see the Switch and Zelda:BotW before 2017.

 

[pietempgba]

Yeah I feel your pain VinLark

 

[naddel81]

Oh look, Jimmy Fallon theatrically overreacting to everything he sees or hears.

Zelda looks nice.

but people seem to love his fake overreactions. maybe the majority really falls for it. I don't know. Never found him to be authentic.

 

[RedBlueGreen]

Didn't make me dislike Breath of the Wild any less, but I guess it's nice to see the Switch is smaller than it looked in the pictures.

His audience seems comparable to PewDiePie's.

 

[the_randomizer]

Lol Jimmy Fallon geeking out to much. He seemed rattled by Miyamoto being there.

Can you blame him? Miyamoto is like the father of many video game franchises.

His audience seems comparable to PewDiePie's.

I never really watch his stuff, he seems a bit...IDK, overhyped?

 

[naddel81]

I totally agree, but apparently it is a huge crowd. Just look at all those trump voters (and soon to be regretters). Man... Never would have thought that "Idiocracy" would come that fast!
