Switch comes packed in with 32 GB of storage. For most users, that won’t be enough. You will, however, be able to use microSD cards. And during today’s Treehouse Live stream, Nintendo confirmed that Switch supports microSDXC cards that hold up to 256 GB of data.

Reggie on lack of bundled game with Switch, approach to pricing, 1-2-Switch and Wii Sports comparisons

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 64 Comments

This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime…

“We look at every launch uniquely as to what’s the right thing to do for that launch. And I’ve been involved in launches dating back to the Nintendo DS. Each one is a little different. For this launch, what we found is that with the range of software that’s coming–not only available day one but through April and into the summer, and including the holiday timeframe with Super Mario Odyssey–that we wanted to enable the consumer to buy the software they want, to look to get to the most approachable price point we could get to. That led us to a $299 price point, and let the consumer decide what games they want to buy.”

Reggie offers Metroid and Mother 3 fans small bit of hope, trying to avoid “large gaps” between release on Switch

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 60 Comments

This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who shared the following with GameSpot…

“Oh, so earlier today I got asked about Mother 3; maybe you can ask me about Metroid. Look, again, I am proud as an executive with Nintendo to say that we look at all of the boards and all of the comments and we really have a good understanding of what our consumers want. And believe me, we take that to heart as we work to create content. So I have nothing to announce–here. But we are aware that there are some key IP that consumers just can’t wait for the next true installment in that franchise’s legacy. Suffice it to say, we’re aware of it, and talk to me in a year and let’s look back and see what’s happened.”

Reggie also stressed the importance of having “a regular cadence of critical launches to drive the install base and keep the consumer base engaged.” With Switch, Nintendo is looking to avoid “large gaps” between releases.

During the Nintendo Switch Presentation, EA announced that it will be bringing FIFA to Switch. Eurogamer’s Tom Phillips now reports that it’ll be based on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions that the publisher still churns out. It’s unclear if that information comes from EA directly, though it wouldn’t be entirely surprising.

Switch won’t feature Miiverse or StreetPass

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 42 Comments

Nintendo is moving away from two notable features introduced with its previous round of hardware. David Young, Nintendo of America’s assistant manager of public relations, informed GamesBeat that Switch will not include Miiverse. “I can answer that we’re not going to be using Miiverse for Nintendo Switch,” he said.

Young also confirmed that StreetPass isn’t planned for Switch. This is partially due to the fact that the system isn’t truly a portable device like 3DS.
