Miis in Nintendo Switch

I know this console won't be a Wii or Wii U system, but will Miis or Avatars would be in this hybird console or no? --RodneytheMiiGuy 11:14, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

It is not confirmed yet. So all it will be is speculation. Yoshi the SSM (talk) 11:16, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

Haven't seen anything yet, but it's possible. 11:16, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

I think there's a picture of it. You have to zoom in if you want a better look. Link: https://imgur.com/9iHg3dD --RodneytheMiiGuy 03:46, 13 January 2017 (EST)

Skyrim?

Many people have identified Skyrim as being one of the games for this new console, and Bethesda even tweeted about being a publishing partner with Nintendo. Aidanzapunk (talk) 12:44, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

That was indeed an Elder Scrolls title. But what barring does that have on a Mario Wiki? 13:02, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

...Good point. Aidanzapunk (talk) 13:15, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

I'll fill this in anyway, but Skyrim isn't officially confirmed to have a game in the Switch, it's just Bethesda stating they're working and have plans for the Switch. It's not deconfirmed either though. Ray Trace^(T|C) 22:54, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

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.

Again, though, this has nothing to do with the Mario Wiki. 11:41, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

In regards to Mario Kart

I think this should help clear up the whole King Boo thing. Aidanzapunk (talk) 12:18, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

Worth noting that this was back in April, so can't say for certain if this is solid info. It's something and it's interesting, but it's might be best to wait for more information. 12:23, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

Mario kart game for nx close up

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. --70.117.102.105 17:59, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

A lot of stuff in that video footage is already covered in this article. Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:06, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

Create Articles for Nintendo Switch's Mario Games

I think to make Articles of Switch's Super Mario and Mario Kart games. --Red Yoshi 1.5 & Squid Sisters (talk) 15:34, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Not yet. There's not enough to go off of, so wait until more info is revealed. There's a Switch press conference coming up in January, so maybe then. 15:37, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, everything should be contained on this page for now.

Nintendo Switch Presentation is coming up in January 12 or 13.

January 13* --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) --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. 3D Player 2010 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.--Mister Wu (talk) 13:21, 27 November 2016 (EST)

Hmmm... Mario Kart 8 DLC 3 ? --Captain Yoshi 05:16, 28 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. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 23:38, 14 January 2017 (EST)

Nintendo themselves say the Switch is not a successor to either Wii U or 3DS. Lakituthequick 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 here). And shortly after its October reveal, Nintendo Japan revealed that it was to stop Wii U production, whereas the 3DS will 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.
