No rockstar lol. Coincidence confirmed.

Not exactly floored, but it's not bad either.

The name is miles better than the Wii U.

this is gonna floooooooop

[SWORDF1SH]

Kind of what we expected. The handheld is quite big as to not step on the toes of the 3DS' successor.

Is there any info on whether the Switch is region-locked or not?

Oh btw. all these scenarios in the video were totally relatable to me, finally I can bring my Mario to all of my roof parties

Meh. Could be cool but nothing gamechanging imo

Think of all the girls who are going to want your D once you take that out at the clubs.

At least the good thing is that the screen is not used when playing at home. They could easily release a non portable version that's fully traditional if the public doesn't catch on to its weird portability.

visually the console (hardware) is a bit better than i expected but it basically confirms it is everything i don't want.

1. as a handheld this thing is massive.
2. the controllers have waaay to many options already and i know nintendo won't be able to stop themselves from releasing more.
3. the standard "home" contoller looks terrible.
4. as a home console this this is certain to have a poor cost to power ratio making it feel like a bad value to me.
5. as a portable console the graphics sure are shiny so it is certain to have a high cost of entry.

i don't think there is a market for this.

nintendo wants you to have a device you use at home but then also bring with you everywhere you go.  i really only have at home and when i'm not gaming at home i want a better device then they are offering.  this is a "preachy" device in that it is trying to tell me how i should game but it doesn't do anything to solve a problem with the current home/mobile console markets.

At least the good thing is that the screen is not used when playing at home. They could easily release a non portable version that's fully traditional if the public doesn't catch on to its weird portability.

that means wiiU games that took advantage of the wiiU's gamepad wont' be easy to port to NX...

..but thankfully that means that wiiU's entire library will still be easily ported to the NX.

Back of the device looks smooth and flat at least.

I couldn't stand the click after every 5 seconds... I get it, the name is switch... Stop already

Also, didn't see it used as a touch screen ever
