== Skyrim? ==

Many people have identified ''[[wikipedia:The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]]'' as being one of the games for this new console, and [https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/789125712196341760 Bethesda even tweeted about being a publishing partner with Nintendo].

::::I've heard rumors that Skyrim could have either a port or a remaster coming to the Switch. Either that or what we've seen on the Switch is a new Elder Scrolls title.

== Mario kart game for nx close up ==
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUrJgezhL4o

This will provide a closer look on the mario kart in the nintendo switch, it lets us see a closer look of the opening of the track, there are several characters like baby rosalina were seen only in the opening of the track. --[[Special:Contributions/70.117.102.105|70.117.102.105]] 17:59, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

Nintendo Switch Presentation is coming up in January 12 or 13. {{unsigned|68.194.137.89}}
:January 13* --'''''[[User:Captain Yoshi|Captain Yoshi]]''''' 12:41, 27 November 2016 (EST)

== Mario Kart 9 preview or Mario Kart 8 DLC 3 ? ==
I look the trailer for the Switch, he have [[Mario Kart 8]] with [[King Boo]]... [[King Boo]] in [[Mario Kart 8]] ? What ? It'sa DLC 3 ? Or Mario Kart 9 ? (And [[Wii U]] and [[3DS]]'s games no compatible with Switch's games) --'''''[[User:Captain Yoshi|Captain Yoshi]]''''' 12:45, 27 November 2016 (EST)

:What we saw in that part of the trailer was extremely short. There probably will not be more Mario Kart 8 DLC, since we had DLC in half-year intervals when we did, and we would have missed several cycles by now. Nintendo probably be making a new Mario Kart for the Switch, like they have for all the other consoles, instead of a port. The current balance of evidence seems to indicate that a tech demo is the most likely case. Either way, it is best that we wait for absolute information before placing information into the article. {{User:3D Player 2010/sig}} 13:17, 27 November 2016 (EST)

::Rumors point to it being a port of Mario Kart 8 with added content (you can think at it being patched to have double items and possibly an improved Battle Mode and having additional content like in a DLC pack), but these are not an official and reliable source, so they cannot be in this article. We'll have to wait for the official presentation.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 13:21, 27 November 2016 (EST)

== Wii U ==

Just curious but should we not list the Wii U as its predecessor? If not how come? - Kreshla 11:20pm (EST) Jan, 14/17
:Well, to answer your question, I wouldn't consider the Wii U to be its predecessor for a variety of reasons I won't go into, because I don't know. Maybe someone else might help. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 23:38, 14 January 2017 (EST)
::Nintendo themselves say the Switch is not a successor to either Wii U or 3DS. {{User:Lakituthequick/sig}} 03:55, 15 January 2017 (EST)

:::That news was being reported back when the Switch was still just "NX", and all info about the thing was still very vague. Nintendo plainly states the Switch to be a "home video game console" (see the "overview" video [http://www.nintendo.com/switch/home/ here]). And shortly after its October reveal, Nintendo Japan revealed that it was to [http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/588689/scitech/technology/nintendo-officially-discontinues-wii-u-production stop Wii U production], whereas the 3DS will [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/10/nintendo_will_continue_to_develop_3ds_software_after_switch_launch continue to be supported]. With the Wii U and Switch both being home consoles, and one of them being "discontinued" in favor of the other, I think we can just say that the Switch is the "successor" to the Wii U.

== Backwards Compatibility ==

Are there any details if this console will have backwards compatibility with [[Wii U]] games? Excluding handhelds and starting with the [[Wii]], Nintendo has made an effort to make older games compatible with a newer system at launch.

:Doubtful. The Switch uses Cartridges/Game Cards with no indication of supporting disks.--[[User:Thatguy62|Thatguy62]] ([[User talk:Thatguy62|talk]]) 15:59, 16 January 2017 (EST)
::What about games in a non-optical format ([[Mario Kart 8]]) officially released on the [[eShop]]? --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 16:01, 16 January 2017 (EST)
:::That, I'm unsure about. I think evidence of the lack of backwards compatibility can be seen with Breath of The Wild and Mario Kart 8, both of which are getting re-released on the Switch despite being on the Wii U. This is technically still speculatory since Nintendo hasn't said anything as far as I'm aware, but to me that essentially says that the Switch won't be backwards compatible. --[[User:Thatguy62|Thatguy62]] ([[User talk:Thatguy62|talk]]) 16:09, 16 January 2017 (EST)
::::Sorry for coming late, since the Switch is based on a Tegra SOC (ARM CPU or Denver CPU, Geforce-based GPU) it cannot execute the games made for Wii U (PowerPC CPU, Radeon-based GPU), meaning that a port of them must be done.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:53, 18 January 2017 (EST)

== Switch at Pax South ==

I will be attending Pax South this Sunday to demo the Switch. What kind of information do we still need about the Switch and it's games which I can find out while I'm there?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 17:05, 25 January 2017 (EST)
:There are only two ''Mario'' games announced for the Switch so far, and only ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' will be playable, if I am not mistaken. I fear that they are reusing the demo version of the first events, which has limited options and no Miis, still I'd suggest to look both at the page of the game and at the page of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' so you can already guess what could be interesting to add to the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' page without adding redundant information (which is already in the page of ''Mario Kart 8''). Maybe the menus and the new elements in them aren't yet fully covered. Also, in the multiplayer mode of the demo version the stats button was missing, if in the single player mode it is possible to view the stats, this would be a good start to start adding information about the new characters and vehicle parts. I don't know if the event will be streamed as well and if more information about ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' will be revealed, in case you could take a few notes. Also, if you can have a look at the Home menu of the console (which I doubt it) or discover some information on the console not yet written here, you could take some notes about it too. By the look of it, however, these are preliminary versions of the OS, so I don't know how much can be inferred from the about the actual OS installed on the console.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:27, 25 January 2017 (EST)
::I didn'y get any new info unfortunately, but I did get a bunch of photos of the switch setup area where they show off the different ways to play, which I've noticed in other videos of other switch demoing places. Will upload tomorrow.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 23:56, 29 January 2017 (EST)

== Early footage of the Nintendo Switch's OS and more finally leaked! ==

Guys, apparently a guy on NeoGAF who goes by "hiphoptherobot" apparently got his Nintendo Switch two weeks early yesterday on Wednesday, February 15, 2017!! And has posted a 2 minute and 56 second video of him showing off the Nintendo Switch's OS vid.me (which currently has 1,000,000+ views), and you may have to download the mp4 file in order to see. As well as unboxing it  on [http://www.floko.tv/video/1107255-exclusive-worlds-first-nintendo-switch-unboxing#.WKZv39wZHeQ Floko] (which currently has 865+ shares). You can also view the video on YouTube on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpkBAobv7YgNQ7pPFYp_Ycw Dystify]'s channel (links below), which he claims he will take down soon and be posted on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiTtOwrVkw5xkQFZ-LRIt-g FloKO (Paul Gandersman)]'s channel. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo forces him to take down his video, files a lawsuit, or something. But if hiphoptherobot really trolled us all, he made it extremely convincing for sure.

But I sure hope some of this information comes in handy and can be used on the article.

Things I've found, highlights:<br>
1) 0:49 You can choose from 12 profile icons, which includes; Yoshi, Bowser, Link's Sword, Zelda, a blue Pikmin, Samus Aran, Blathers, Celeste, Lime Green Inkling, Orange Inkling Squid, Fox McCloud's spaceship, and a Mii.<br>
2) 0:55 You can have an owner and a nickname for one's account.<br>
3) 1:05 I know this likely isn't new, but 8 users can be registered on a single Switch system.<br>
4) 1:16 The News applet, where I see something in the upper left corner on Mario holding what looks like a trophy and lots more.<br>
5) 1:29 A system update is required before preceding to the Nintendo eShop.<br>
6) 1:31 Album applet.<br>
7) 1:39 Controllers settings.<br>
8) 1:48 System Settings, where it shows it has a 25.9 GB internal memory and much more.<br>
9) 2:39 Sleep Mode.

== Explain me this: ==

Why do all the video game consoles' articles have their games' gallery sorted in alphabetical order yet Nintendo 3DS, Wii U and Nintendo Switch inexplicably have their games' gallery sorted by release date? This is a bit incongruent, we should use one consistent order for all consoles.

== Is the 3DS a predecessor ==

People have been repeatedly adding into this article and the 3DS article that the 3DS is apparently the Switch's predecessor alongside the Wii U, so I think it's time to actually discuss this. Are there any official sources that call the 3DS a predecessor for the Switch, or ones that don't? When I google it, all I see are forum pages which call it so. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
:Officially, the Nintendo Switch is mainly presented as a new type of device that can be considered the successor of the Wii U, with docked mode making it some kind of a home console; practically, the Lite revealed what we already knew: it’s a handheld console first and foremost, aiming at being a portable Wii U, as the game library shows. So in practical terms it’s a successor to both, officially it’s more of a successor of the Wii U, with it being initially marketed as a home console you can take around with you.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:13, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

===Oppose===
#{{User|Hewer}} The way the article is right now already says that the Switch is a hybrid console but is marketed primarily as a home console, which I think is a perfect compromise.

#{{User|Hewer}} Actually, per Waluigi Time, I didn't realise the previous online services were split and doing this makes sense for consistency.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all, especially Waluigi Time.
#{{User|ExoRosalina}} As agreed per Waluigi Time.
#{{User|Swallow}} Wasn't sure at first but since we have articles for similar things, may as well with this.
#{{User|PaperSplash}} Per all.
#{{User|The Eggo55}} Per all
#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Per all.
#{{User|Killer Moth}} Per all.

<s>#{{User|Hewer}} I definitely don't think it's long enough to justify splitting on length alone, and there isn't any other reason to split it.</s>

I just have a broader question mark about the necessity of covering this service in detail. {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:53, July 29, 2023 (EDT)
:I find myself having to link to it enough that I think it's worth it. It definitely qualifies as relevant to Mario, being necessary for online play in Mario games for the Switch, plus the [[Booster Course Pass]] is part of the Expansion Pack, and there's the various Mario games featured in its retro game libraries (which admittedly do have their own pages but it's good to have something to link to every time we say such and such is exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online and/or the Expansion Pack). Compare [[Nintendo eShop]] and the [[Virtual Console]], for example. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 16:41, July 30, 2023 (EDT)
