So its might end up getting a physical release after all. Either way, exciting news along with the announcement of a main FE game coming to the Switch next year. |

A quick shot of the UI that was tweeted out but then deleted. https://s.aolcdn.com/dims5/amp:150df...2Fswitch32.jpg The picture is strikingly different than other shots we've seen of the Nintendo Switch UI -- draping the bright, white menu theme shown in Nintendo's press conference with a darker theme. While it's likely this is just a simple "night mode" setting, it hints at the possibility that the Switch could have 3DS-like menu themes. This shot of the UI also has a new feature: a change user button, suggesting the Switch is a more sharable device than Nintendo's current portable. Finally, the image reveals two popular Nicalis titles previously unannounced for the Switch: Cave Story and 1001 Spikes. |

Kotaku sent Nintendo a bunch of questions and got...well, some answers.
USB hard drive support a la the Wii U is being investigated. The Switch is region free for retail games, but the eShop is region locked. It's not locked out of the box, though, and it sounds like you can have a Japanese account and an American account on the same system. |
re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
Also no Amazon, Netflix or Hulu, etc. support. I imagine most already have at least one box under the tv that accomplishes this, but it's still handy to hop between games & apps while you're on the same system.
No hard drive support out of the box is kinda weak. |
re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
There's so few games at launch that it's not like you would fill a larger hard drive any time soon anyway? :p I imagine adding a larger sdcard will be more then enough for the year.

Having said that, this just doesn't seem like the system you'd build a collection on. |
re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
The FCC approved the pro controller yesterday. Now we know why there haven't been any preorders.
In unsurprising news, LEGO Worlds is coming to the Switch. |

The big image of the game release calendar/window is being updated by a guy on Reddit. Here's the latest, there's been a bunch of minor announcements and digital releases.
Reddit thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwi...update_thread/ Spoiler:
I might actually get I Am Setsuna on Switch since I've been eyeing it on PC/PS4. |

Just in case it matters to you it looks like I am Setsuna is going to be digital only on switch just like the other systems.

Had zero interest in this until I noticed Derby Stallion on that release calendar pic. Not familiar with it, but if it is on par with the Gallop Racer series (R.I.P.) then I would probably bite on one of these.
Side note: I hope that don't jack the difficulty through the damn roof on Ultra Street Fighter like they did with the HD remix. |

Shit, I was assuming that since they listed it on there that meant they were making it friendly to all regions. Oh well...

Playing the Switch on the can. Awesome :lol:

re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
A pretty nice look at the ports, speaker locations, exact dimensions, etc. on the Switch:
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Nintendo-...1176277.html#1 Confirms that the Switch maxes out at 1080p60; no 4K output, not even for undemanding games or streaming services, I suppose. The internal battery can't be easily removed; gotta go through Nintendo for that. |
re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
Right. College kids playing some Mario Kart before lecture :lol:
