IGN put together a video comparing the visuals of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Wii U and Switch. Wii U’s footage was taken at last year’s E3 while gameplay of the Switch edition came through today. Watch the comparison below.
Wired caught up with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime following the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017. He weighed in on a number of topics about the system, such as its online service and concerns about supply. Reggie also teased that there could be news for those who already purchased classic titles – think Virtual Console – on the likes of Wii U and Wii. Aside from that, “3DS has a long life in front of it,” Reggie said.

Square Enix released a trailer for Dragon Quest Heroes I-II, announced for Switch during last night’s presentation. Watch it below.
According to Damon Baker from Nintendo of America, who handles licensing at the company, there are “many more reveals to come” regarding Switch games. He passed along that tease on Twitter earlier today, while also adding that we can look forward to “more updates in the coming weeks.”
The tweet reads:

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.
