Jimmy Fallon Debuts the Nintendo Switch

Quote: President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aimé guides Jimmy through Super Mario Run before debuting the Nintendo Switch game system by playing The Legend of Zelda in front of creator Shigeru Miyamoto.

The Nintendo Switch looks awesome can't wait!

[ShadowKnight]

Day one and already pre ordered! Mario run is not coming to Android phones🤔 Zelda ny most anticipated game looks amazing and can't wait to stream my walkthrough on my twitch and YouTube channel 🙌🙌🙌

I'm going to put in so many hours in this game

[Fishy Fingers]

No I think Apple got exclusivity. I imagine that wasn't cheap either.

[ShadowKnight]

@Fishy Fingers

That sucks for Android users. Can't even play it on my galaxy smh. I hope it's a timed exclusive.

[sinjonezp]

I have to say, super Mario run looks really good. Is it free to download and micro transactions, or buy the game and unlock things by playing? And I'm the switch, I like the premise. It seems Nintendo developed the machine based on what Sony tried to do with the PlayStation and the vita with remote play but not having to have multiple systems. So that is "cool". For me it's wait and see on Jan 12th.

From a Forbes article...

“They’ll be doing it first on iOS,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook as he introduced Miyamoto at the event. “They’ll be doing it in a brand new game, Super Mario Run.”

Mario Run is a timed exclusive.

Curious how different the WiiU and Switch versions will be!

And a deal with Apple is brilliant for Nintendo going forward!

[cleft5]

People can say what they will and be as skeptical as they like, but that level of reaction and excitement resonates with the general population in a big way. I found it to be a bit cringe myself and skipped through a lot of it. But again, that level of excitement just sales products.

[XanderZane]

I want one, especially if it's cheap. Will probably have to wait until next year after Summer though. System looks cool though. Hope it does a lot better then the Wii U. My daughter doesn't even play it as much anymore. Gotta get a few more games for her.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Damn, Breath Of The Wild looks amazing on the Switch.

[Genuine-User]

I'm fully on board with Switch.

Edit: confirmed to run at 30fps.

Judging by the disagrees, some people are not fans of Nintendo I assume?

[mamotte]

Welcome to N4G, bro.

[Dumpling]

yup if you follow every post about nintendo youll notice a trend in fanboys from PS4 and xbone being negative as hell on every post. They also downvote the living hell out of every nintendo post. I think its because N4G has a lot of PS4 fanboys(not normal fans) but the kind that love console war bs.

[starchild]

Yeah, I'm a Sony fan in the sense that the only consoles I own are Playstations (PS4 and PS3) and I like Sony's approach and the games they put out, but the fanaticism of many Sony fanboys on this site is hard to stomach sometimes. Anything not Sony--whether Nintendo, PC or Xbox--is always downplayed if not outright bashed. I think the Nintendo Switch looks really interesting and quite promising. The idea of a hybrid console that can act as a normal home console when at home and as a handheld when away from the house is brilliant.

[Dumpling]

yeah man im also a Sony fan. I got my PS4 and a bunch of awesome jrpgs but i also love nintendo and if there were games that interested me on Xbone i would also have one. Im not a fanboy of any company. If you got cool games for your console i sure as hell will buy it. I just want to play fun games :)

[XanderZane]

Or Microsoft. lol!! Mostly on this site though.

[InMyOpinion]

Can't stand Jimmy Fallon and his fake plastic appearance. Switch looks interesting though.

[Lou Ferrigno]

yea i'm on the same boat.. he overreacted a bit much for my taste .. i have never seen anyone that excited about something they know nothing about lol.

[PurpHerbison]

He does this with every single guest. I'm still curious who is responsible for Fallons ascension in the entertainment world. There is somebody behind the scenes green lighting every step he takes and I want to know who the hell it is.

[InMyOpinion]

@PurpHerbison - He's channeling the ghost of Ted Bundy.

[XanderZane]

He seemed to know a lot about the Switch system. He was pretty knowledgeable.

[cfc83]

Looks like a neat console

[tdogg06051991]

If you've seen any of his run throughs before he knows little about controls for gaming. That was insanely scripted. Not saying anything bad about the switch but they made it seem like he knew more because he was a fan which couldn't be further from the truth.

[S2Killinit]

When does it release?

[ABizzel1]

Full reveal: January
Release date: March

[S2Killinit]

Good good. Looking forward to it.

[DillyDilly]

So can we use the XBOX like controller if the Switch is in Tablet mode & on the stand ?

[ShadowKnight]

No I don't think so

[DillyDilly]

That would be fucking lame if so I have no interest in using those little stupid sticks on their own & I know plenty that would prefer using the XBOX like controller. That is gonna be a problem if Nintendo does not allow that

[ABizzel1]

It entirely depends on how the controllers sync to the device. I'm assuming Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct (just like the NVIDIA Shield Tablet).

And you don't have to use the little joycons, you can buy a Pro controller as well.

[DillyDilly]

So if I take the Switch on the go & use the stand I can in fact use that controller ?

[Eldyraen]

It should, as the one video with the Splatoon team sitting on the ground were if I remember right.

[S2Killinit]

It has its own controllers in addition to the little ones. You don't need an Xbox controller to play a "Nintendo" console

[DillyDilly]

& what if you just dont wanna play holding the hand held ? Putting out the stand & using the XBOX like controller seems like something that should work & should be an optoin

[S2Killinit]

Ohhhh I thought you meant "xbox" controller. Your talking about Nintendo's own "traditional" controller. I maybe wrong, but I THINK you can do that.

[CrimsonPheonix]

obviously idiots.

[joab777]

Ok. So he is legitimately freaking out, but ya know that that machine isn't leaving with Reggie. It's going home with Jimmy, if he doesn't have one already!

[DarkSniper]

Not impressed.

$niper

[PurpHerbison]

Why do they still show off Zelda like its a tech demo? Show off something exciting, please!

[Eldyraen]

Because it's one of the only confirmed games. Most don't have a name (3D Mario) or are assumed to be ports of Wii u titles (Mario kart for example).

[Fearmonkey]

meh...... I just dont see anything that is getting me excited about the switch.

[windblowsagain]

Graphics were meh tbh.

Hopefully for Ninty, good old gameplay will save the day.

The concept is interesting, but the main unit should have been much more powerful.

[danny818]

The Concept is fantastic. And im fully confident ninty will hit the nail with this one. Gonna pre order it as soon as i get my hands on Jan 12th. So close!!!
