Nintendo Switch: $299.99 on 3/3/17

That headline is the only thing you need to know about the Nintendo Switch other than the following video.  Watch it and weep the tears of joy with me.


Yes, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will also be available on March 3!

New Footage From The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Earlier tonight, Nintendo decided to grace us with some new footage of the insanely anticipated game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.  One of these videos was a trailer where we caught a glimpse at a village with people in it, some bird people, and someone that is probably Princess Zelda herself.  It was definitely nice to see that there are some people left after whatever tragedy left most of Hyrule in ruins.

There is also some other cool footage shown.  I'm just going to let you watch it for yourself.

While I, for one, am super stoked about seeing SOMETHING on the new Zelda title for the WiiU (and possibly the console known as the NX), I would hope Nintendo is planning on showing us a little more than Zelda and Pokemon Sun and Moon on the show floor.  Nintendo's Day 2 Treehouse lineup is looking over some upcoming 3DS titles.  Knowing Nintendo they haven't told us all their plans for the two events just yet.  I am hoping to see snippets or teasers of other possible upcoming WiiU titles (just because I don't want to see the WiiU die just yet.)  Nintendo has made it clear that there will be no news on the NX, even though it's been hinted that the new Zelda title will launch in March 2017 alongside the NX.  This year is the 30th Anniversary for The Legend of Zelda and compared to its 25th Anniversary, this year has been a little lack luster.  I would like to some news possibly on Metroid, Splatoon, or even a new IP.  We shall see!  The event starts at 9AM Pacific Standard Time (it will be 12PM here in Eastern Standard Time.)
