Nintendo is known for having odd marketing for the Wii U, which was one of the reasons the platform didn’t do as well compared to the Wii and other Nintendo systems. But the company is clearly learning, with a fantastic trailer that will air during the Super Bowl. The extended version is above this text and I love it; great song choice, strong editing and does a good job showing off what the platform can do.

Here is the Press Release Nintendo put out regarding Switch’s Super Bowl Ad.

The star of the ad, which is scheduled to run during the game’s fourth quarter on Feb. 5, is Nintendo Switch, which combines the power of a home console with the mobility of a hand-held video game system. People can play on their TVs at home, then grab Nintendo Switch and continue playing seamlessly wherever they go.
The ad also shows off The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which breaks conventions to become the next defining moment in the classic franchise. It offers the most immersive world that Nintendo has ever created and sends players on an adventure they will never forget.
“The most anticipated video game system and video game of the year will be seen on the biggest stage of the year,” said Nicolas Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Marketing. “Nintendo Switch will change how, when and where people play games. It’s only fitting that we’re changing how, when and where we advertise those games.”
The soundtrack to Nintendo’s ad, “Believer” by Imagine Dragons, is available now on iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon mp3 and Spotify, and is part of an upcoming new album from the band. This is not the first collaboration between Nintendo and Imagine Dragons, whose members are longtime fans of the video game company and The Legend of Zelda franchise. At The Game Awards in 2014, the band closed the show by performing a medley of music from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask with veteran Nintendo composer Koji Kondo.
The extended cut of the ad demonstrates the versatility of Nintendo Switch by showcasing the system in a variety of locations where home video games are not traditionally played, from a classroom to a kitchen to a laundromat. It also shows a number of upcoming single- and multiplayer games for the system, and how Nintendo Switch introduces fun new ways to play.
The names and launch timing of Nintendo Switch games featured in the extended cut include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (March 3), 1-2-Switch (March 3), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (April), ARMS (spring), Splatoon 2 (summer), Just Dance 2017 from Ubisoft (March 3) and Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers from Capcom (launch timing TBD). Nintendo Switch will be available at a suggested retail price of $299.99.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 got a surprise announcement at Nintendo’s Switch event earlier this month and many are still talking about the title. GameXplain recently came out to have a long discussion about the reveal trailer, what it entails for the production and what could the title offer. Just a heads up though; make sure you lower the volume at the 0:55 mark, as the audio gets sharply loud but gets normal again.

*HEADPHONE WARNING AT 0:55*

Arms is a game coming out for the Nintendo Switch focusing on Motion-Controlled fighting action! More gameplay has came out recently thanks to GameXplain. Watch Mechanica and Master Mummy duke it out through the above gameplay video!
It continues to look impressive and fun, giving me hope that the motion controls add to the games mechanics.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the largest games in the franchise’s history not only in ambition but also in the sheer scale of the game world. It’s vastness ensures many will be playing it for a long time, but can they fully beat it within a few days? According to Nintendo, that is a resounding ‘nope’; they stated that it is ‘impossible’ to fully 100% complete in a week.
That is an impressive statement and if true, demonstrates the value of how large this title really is.
