nOS: New Operating System offers a fresh and new way to interface with your Nintendo Switch. Transform your favorite console into an amazing, and surprisingly small personal computer by allowing you to draw, write, calculate, organize your day and play around at your convenience with the built-in puzzle game. nOS: New Operating System will be available later this month on Nintendo Switch.

Thought this was the new switch for a sec

Thought this was the new switch for a sec

As did I. As did I...

 

[Gudji]

Thought the switch would get a new UI.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Magic Carpet]

Hope they have a dark mode. All that white is going to burn my eyes.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Doesn't look like it has touchscreen support?

 

[NeonDelta]

Looks awfuL, “My first OS”

 

[fran.fernandez]

Can’t run games anymore eh

 

[Ryllix_]

This is some weird early April fools joke, right? This looks like windows 98 with a Nintendo theme.

 

[existensmaximum]

Why would anyone use this instead of a smartphone..? "Endless possibilities", yeah..

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

People seriously thought there was like, any chance of Nintendo announcing new hardware? Lol

Not a chance.

 

[mortal]

Man, I had to read the thread title twice.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I thought Nintendo was going to release a major software update.

 

[DeepEnigma]

After reading that title and OP, if you told me it was April 1st, I would have believed it for a second there.

 

[ManaByte]

Not a chance.

This isn’t made by Nintendo.

 

[reinking]

Umm.. ..does it not use the touchscreen? Seems like everyone was using the controller for tasks that would be much easier with the touch screen.

 

[Hugare]

So many people will miss the part that this is a GAME, not a new OS for the Switch

This is a GAME about building an OS. And not made by Nintendo.

The thread title is almost a troll

But that's the Youtube title: "nOS new operating system"

Blame the developers for the confusing title.

IbizaPocholo -sama did nothing wrong

 

[Wooxsvan]

wild. circa Windows 3.1

I already have a "surprisingly small personal computer by allowing you to draw, write, calculate, organize your day and play around at your convenience". It's called my phone. Don't understand why anyone would want this on their Switch.

The trailer doesn't reflect what you're saying at all. Obviously it's not an actual OS, but it seems to be just a collection of poor productivity software that no one who has a smartphone would ever need on their Switch.

Sold!

 

[Shane89]

full color Windows 3.1. amazing

 

[ANDS]

Literally didn't clock that this was an official release on the SWITCH until the ESRB at the end. All I kept thinking of was "This is a looooooong way to go for a modded OS - "

 

[Guilty_AI]

why

 

[Hugare]

Obviously it's not an actual OS

Yeah well, not so obvious. Actualy look around and you'll see people confused by it.

 

[RoadHazard]

Yeah, but it's also not a game about building an OS from what I can tell. It's just an "app" that does a few things your phone already does better.

If only I could get Mario and Zelda on that cell phone.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

This isn’t made by Nintendo.

Look at the early thread comments. People are expecting Nintendo to announce hardware, which is baffling given we know it’s not in the cards anytime soon.

Obviously this OS is not made by Nintendo, and I never implied that it was.

 

[nani17]

I'm done with windows. nOS is the future

 

[damidu]

lol your personal computer powered by a limping hamster running on a wheel.

 

[RoadHazard]

If only I could get Mario and Zelda on that cell phone.

Why? Games are better on the Switch, stuff like this is better on a smartphone (or tablet or laptop).

 

[TLZ]

"New operating system."

"Official Nintendo."

That title got me good. Had to read it a few times and still confused me.

 

[hemo memo]

This is HUGE for this game target market

Seems about right for Nintendo and how they approach technology.

I can finally go into acquisition threads and say the Switch competes with laptops now.

No idea, kids who don't have phones probably.

I'm done with windows. nOS is the future

I'm getting ready to migrate my business as we speak!

 

[Tams]

Looks like BeOS. Pretty cool looking in a retro way, but also... dated.

The Open Source community are pretty weird, so this looks right up their alley. Some of them will consider this a game and will enjoy it.

But I ain't complaining. They've provided many great pieces of software, saving games from getting lost to history, and to each their own.

 

[damidu]

desperately needs a switch emulator on it.

 

[jigglet]

Thank god it's not a new OS. It would have meant a new eshop, new accounts, start from zero again no doubt.

This isn't even an open source I think? I think it's just a regular Switch "game".

 

[Icymanipulator]

Same

 

[ReBurn]

This is the worst game ever

 

[j0hnnix]

nOS coming in to take Miyazaki's throne.

hold on babe, let me take my switch out to calculate the tip
