The Nintendo Switch makes Jimmy Fallon geek out on its TV debut

We all feel that way

The Nintendo Switch makes Jimmy Fallon geek out on its TV debut
|

Amazingly March is only a few months away and the Switch's release window is getting closer and closer. That charismatic chappie Jimmy Fallon got a treat on The Tonight Show however as he got his hands on the upcoming Super Mario Run and the Nintendo Switch.

It's okay to be jealous, I certainly am, but watching Fallon geek out in a way we all know we would have just makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Super Mario Run looks like a joy in itself as the auto-runner plays without a stutter, bringing us all of the brilliance of Super Mario in a pocket-sized version. No, there's nothing really new or different about it but realistically do we really care?

The Switch is just a beautiful bit of kit. Seeing it live on TV made even made that big, clunky controller look relatively good-looking. That's exciting in itself even before we got a first-hand look at The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Once Fallon got his hands on the console his ceaseless knowledge and arm-flailing excitement didn't fail to bring a smile to my face. What's more it looks like the Switch is shaping up to be exactly as Nintendo described and I admit I'm breathing a sigh of relief here.

Bring on January 12th for more information.
