A closer look at Switch, including buttons and possible USB-C connection
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, Switch | 21 Comments
Nintendo surprised many of us last night by showing off Switch during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Zelda: Breath of the Wild took the spotlight, but we were also able to have another look at the Switch unit. IGN captured a few screengrabs and reported on its findings.
The first image features the back of the Switch. When you dive in further and look at it more closely, it appears to have buttons for power, syncing controllers, and Joy-Con release buttons. IGN also speculates that we’ve been given a look at a USB-C or a proprietary port made by Nintendo, as pictured below. The USB-C connection is something that’s been thrown around as a possibility quite a bit over the past few days.

Original (11/22): Over in Japan, a new update is available for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Version 1.5 arrived earlier today.
Today’s patch is small in nature, and is not up in either North America and Europe. It merely addresses an issue with error [004 – 6006] when players downloaded presents/campers. Nintendo also says that there are additional enhancements to improve the user experience.
Miyamoto – Nintendo felt strongly about paying just once for Mario Run, bringing back lapsed fans with mobile
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 2 Comments
During an interview with Financial Post, Shigeru Miyamoto touched on how Nintendo is handling pricing with Super Mario Run. He and the rest of the company “felt pretty strongly “that we needed to have a form of monetization where you would simply pay once and be able to play as much as you like.”
Miyamoto explained:
“When we first started talking about bringing Nintendo games and Mario to iPhone, we talked a lot about what we would do from a monetization standpoint and debated this even with Mr. Iwata back in those days (Satoru Iwata was CEO of Nintendo until his death in 2015).
Certainly there are a lot of different ways that you can monetize a game. In Japan there’s a mechanic that’s referred to as “gacha,” where you keep spending small amounts for a raffle or lottery to get rare items. There are other ways that you can charge people repeatedly to get money. And there are games that rely on a very small number of people who pay a lot of money and the rest of the players play for free.
