Nintendo Switch trailer analysis

• 0:24 That’s a big dog!
• 0:25 That’s a big dock! What’s in there, some flash storage and a dedicated 1080p upscaler?
• 0:35 Fuck that dog is big.

• 0:59 >tfw too shy to talk to the cute girl at an airport lounge playing GBA back in 2003
• 1:05 Kickstand? What is this a Surface?
• 1:06 Headphone jack? In 2017? How retro
• 1:07 Wait is that fucking Skyrim?
• 1:22 I guess those are exhaust fans on the tablet? My iPad doesn’t need those… Must be some beastly hardware* in this thing.
• 1:30 That is Skyrim. What other Xbox 360 games will be ported?
• 1:45 So I guess we’ve got split screen multiplayer with each player using a detachable controller. That’s pretty cool. This also confirms that each of the detachables has its own battery too. And possibly motion controls.
• 1:58 I’m finding it extremely difficult to believe that people would sit down for a quick game of NBA Jive or whatever after playing some real pickup hoops. Four player, two machine wireless multiplayer is pretty cool though.
• 2:06 I can’t tell if the first person of colour in this promotional package was actually participating in the game or just there for a culturally appropriate hand gesture/celebration.
• 2:22 I guess Amiibos aren’t going away yet.
• 2:30 Maybe one day I might be cool enough to have hipster friends who hang out on rooftops to drink. If that ever happens I sure as fuck don’t want to scare them off by bringing my Nintendo over with me.
• 2:42 Wait what’s going on? Is this some sorta dance rehearsal with soccer tactics?
• 3:05 Oh wait no, they’re just eSports competitors.
• 3:10 Splatoon? But Nintendo’s biggest eSport is Pokémon. Hold on, those kids are taller than Splatoon on WiiU, those are new hairstyles! Is this a new Splatoon?
• 3:19 I wonder if Nintendo realises they have to actively foster a competitive scene?

*Wait what? it’s just a Tegra? Apologies to Emily Rogers for not believing her.
