Gaming Jimmy Fallon Pees in his pants over nintendo switch demostration.

[grossaffe]

Nice to see Nintendo get the airtime, but I'm not a Fallon fan either. At least, not as a talkshow host. His Neil Young impersonation is the best - at being a solo stage comedian, he's one of the best ever. But he just doesn't measure up as a show host. Ferguson, O'Brien, and Letterman were all much better naturals at the job, for instance. And nobody has yet to come within a mile of Johnny Carson's shadow.

Merv Griffin was no slouch himself.

Recently on the Jimmy Fallon show, special guest features Nintendo of America CEO, Reggie Fils-Aime and Game Developer, Shigeru Miyamoto shared the new super mario run app for smartphones and nintendo switch with Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild, with Jimmy Fallon in front of his entire audience. From my eyes, he nearly wet himself over it.

​

Come on. He is acting. I don't trust him. He is a liar. He got paid to do things and say false things as well.

Tom Snyder too, although the format of his show was different of course. I only started watching Snyder because of Dan Aykroyd's impersonation of him on SNL, but once I started I was hooked. (this is starting in maybe '78, when I was 11 years old, lol.)

Obviously rehearsed.

I would insist on some rehearsal if I were Nintendo, who are betting the farm on The Switch...so I can understand why it came across fake and scripted.

I think the presentation lacked excitement despite Jimmy's best efforts at injecting faux-excitement. Right now I don't really envy Nintendo's marketing team: it's going to be a hard sell to get people to buy this thing.

I'm sure it would be hard to sell it to people who see almost all, if not all, the things Nintendo is doing as a negative.

Meanwhile, people are just excited to see Zelda running on the Switch.

I'm trying to thnk in terms of wider market rather than Zelda fans. The audience saw nothing groundbreaking, graphics-wise (certainly nothing special, even for a portable). They saw the 'switch' gimmick though. A gimmick that - despite all hype - still must balance portable sensibilities (good battery life, decent performance, not too much heat loss) while delivering decent power when docked.

Meanwhile, people are just excited to see Zelda running on the Switch.

Of course I can understand some Zelda fans are excited about a game that won't even be ready for Switch's release. Jimmy's faux-excitement simply doesn't match up to what was shown on the screen and I wouldn't be surprised if those seemingly over-happy audience members next to Shigeru Miyamoto were hand-picked by Nintendo themselves. Just a fake level of excitement all-round. That's what I get from that video. I just don't see that translating to the real-world that well. The unit is large and the Switch capability is gimmicky. 2-players per screen is probably its best selling feature in the short-term, to get people to want to buy another one so they don't have to share a small screen. With the Vita dead, Nintendo can do some good business...I have no doubts. But I doubt it will set the world on fire. I don't think it's a game-changer at all. It's a compromise between home & portable worlds. One that does neither well.

Zelda already hits a wide range of people already. This haven't even show everything that the Switch can do. They just want to get people talking, until they fully reveal it. Despite how people might think how fake or fake it isn't. Plus, considering the rumors of certain gen titles running fine, it wouldn't be problem.

Like I said, I have a feeling you, and a few others, would have a similar impression, no matter what they came out with. If was a Nintendo PS4 Pro, that wouldn't have change you overall impression.

I just wonder, if Sony was on there, would people be so quick to call everything fake. While they could be acting, I doubt that wasn't a fair amount of genuine there as well.

One man's 'objective' is another's 'hater'. I can't see many taking this on the train or bus. It basically loses out in portability, and cartridges are still more expensive to do than optical discs. Someone pays for that. Us. Plus with cartridges games tend to get cut down to cut costs (sound is worse, often graphics are worse...). Which brings me back to how it does neither market (home or portable) many favours, in the wider market. Sure, it has a lot of promise for many and it might be the best emulation platform known to man one day (etc, etc.)...but the wider market will suffer from the Switch compromises, I reckon. And I don't think there's really any escape from the compromises. But we'll see. Sure, the Nintendo franchises will always sell in decent numbers. But beyond that?

Sony (and Microsoft) fakes with the best of them. Brandists are objectionable. I only care about products and I have concerns about how Nintendo will pull this one off successfully. I just shake my head at the basic concept of the Switch and the size of the unit. But then again I thought the DS looked like a PDA and would have little appeal (I got that one very wrong). And judging by how good the sound and graphics were on the PSP I thought that would totally eat Nintendo's lunch. It was good competition (particularly with no backward compatibility and higher price) but I guess I was wrong again.

Happy to be proven wrong here too. The market will decide. We'll probably have some indication about how things are going a year from now. I don't think it will be a stellar seller. To me, the Switch is like the product nobody was really asking for.

Jimmy is so fake... None of his emotions felt real, they even feel sarcastic...
I do t wanna be the hater but come on... So much obvious fake over reacting... It. Turned me away, he is compensating for something? Maybe lack of interest in that presentation?

Anyway, the console seems interesting, however I am concerned, the screen looked like shitty, not bright at all, looks shitty like the 3ds screens... The front part design reminds me Like those 50 bucks Chinese tablets

And Zelda. Looks really vast, I am Happy That they made shield slide, a huge world specially in zelda usually means loads of walking and time consuming, hope they take this into account.
And I didn't understand did a rock exploded? Or there were bomb flowers in the bottom?

You cant tell how a good a screen looks mostly under stage lighting.
