Ok, so summing up:

Zelda looks awesome
Mario looks good
Xenoblade isn't really my jam, but still looks decent
Too many people on stage with no actual game footage.
And nothing else remotely worth caring about.

yeah i'll probably pre order if it goes up on amazon and cancel if more launch titles aren't announced, that lineup is weak as fuck. Its literally the wii u all over. I mean the portable thing is nice i guess but who gives a fuck if there are no games.

breath wii u will be playable on PC in 4k with CEMU emulator and since its 100% an offline game there isn't even a reason to get excited for the switch version

i'm gonna drive by my gamestop at 9am tomorrow and see how many people lined up in the freezing cold. shit i bet there are people lined up RIGHT NOW at some gamestop's LOL

I'm in for a Switch whenever xenoblade 2 and the new SMT game comes out, so probably in a year or so. I have a wii u so i can play Zelda on that.

I was practically begging Nintendo to take my money. The $300 price tag wasn't even a deal breaker even though it's not worth that.

Having no games except for one that is going to be released on the Wii U anyways?

I am simultaneously more accepting and less enthusiastic about this console than I was before if that makes any sense.

It seems like an awkward form factor but seeing the games in action and the mobile mode, it could do something. At the same time I have basically zero interest at the price tag it is at. Add on the fact that these are 'big console' titles instead of DS titles, I don't know why I would purchase this before it's cheap and irrelevant.

It puzzles me why they don't have any of their other IP's available at launch. It can't be that hard to come up with a new F-Zero game at the very least. There wasn't even a new Metroid for the WiiU. Will there be one for the Switch? They really don't put their IP's to full use. That's the part that is making me hold off on getting one now because who knows which of their IP's they'll actually put to use for this system.

The thought is that this console will kill off the Wii U and 3ds production so that they can focus on games for one console at a time

So just Zelda for launch? That worked on original Wii because Sports came packed in and was groundbreaking. I don't see Arms / 1-2 coming with or being anywhere in Sports' neighborhood.

Again, the whole upside of Switch is the Nintendo ghetto is cheaper to cover, has all teams working on the same system, and is all portable. That's all true... but there's nothing more (yet?)

Loling at Skyrim not even getting the Legendary tag (because Switch doesn't have the Ram to run it.

$300 for the console is fine. The controller price though is a joke.

Looks like the joycon grip is a battery that charges the controllers at least
