[Apocryphon]

Too expensive. Shame.

 

[Biske]

Am i the only one thinking it's all good so far?

Nope. All looks great for me.

300 bucks aint bad at all.

 

[Falchion]

That controller looks narrow as hell.

 

[Collateral22]

Think this is a record for how quick my hype has died for something

 

[Asd202]

$300 is good. Much more competitive than the Sony MS systems were on day one.

Anyone who thought they were somehow going to replace the $250 current price Wii U with a more powerful, more feature filled handheld console hybrid for the same money or less was delusional.

And for anyone who used to buy both Nintendo handhelds and consoles, this saves you money. For those who just like handhelds, once the price drops, this will convert lots of people as it is only somewhat higher than a 3DS XL but that premium gets you a lot more features and a home console option

Key fact were.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Oh shit its...

 

[TimeEffect]

Awful battery life, no way can this replace the 3DS

Not that I care, since Id play portable at home anyway

 

[schuelma]

Get to the games please

 

[LiQuid!]

Japanese Willem DaFoe!

 

[thecouncil]

Look at this guy. Caretaker of a haunted mansion.

DROP THE 3D MARIO BOMB KOIZUMI

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Wish Treehouse was doing the reveal, this is so dry.

 

[z3phon]

2-6, unless you're deaf. Not to mention that battery packs are ubiquitous nowadays and it uses a standard USB Type-C connector.

so 2 hours.

 

[Zakkath]

Ethernet port ? Do they expect people to pay for online play without reliable connexion ?

 

[Talon]

Man I miss Iwata.

 

[Wandering Robot]

I imagine this device WOULD only last two hours if you're playing a graphics-intensive or online game. No need to overreact to that.

 

[John Harker]

So far it's a bad start

They've been killing it... what could make you think that?

 

[Tritroid]

Is $50 seriously stopping you guys from getting the system? Not ideal, but I mean...com'n. It's the new Nintendo console.

I was just thinking the same, lmao. Crying over $50, really? Give me a break.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

That default controller looks sad as fuck

 

[DangerMouse]

LOL controller detail

 

[remz]

In what world does a system with this power get more than the 2.5-6 range? Battery tech just isn't there yet.

 

[isaacnukem]

It's so small

 

[Ooccoo]

yup, that battery life is abysmal.

 

[seantos]

That controller looks comically small in his tiny little trump sized hands. This is a system built for Trump.

 

[PdotMichael]

The Wii U hasn't dropped in price lower than $300. What's the difference?

The WiiU is a fucking bomba that's the difference.

 

[Galang]

Nothing really new so far dang it....

It just started ..

 

[Obliterator]

This is a pretty poor start to the conference if I'm being honest.

 

[Metal B]

If you don't want to pay the online-fee, there is still the Local-Mode.

 

[Kaizer]

I want one, but not at that price.

Same, yet another Nintendo system I'll be waiting on.

 

[Firemind]

Am i the only one thinking it's all good so far?

EVERYONE PANIC

 

[Zombie James]

Those controllers are so tiny. Ugh,

 

[Dipship31]

controller looks really small

 

[boiled goose]

2.5 hours
Hype slowly slipping

Not deal breaker. Can use usb batteries.

8x local multi sounds cool. Also in docked mode with multiple tvs?

 

[OmegaSmash]

I'll admit, the snap switch is classy as hell.

 

[chillybright]

so fucking small,...

 

[koolaroo]

I wish the tone of this was a bit more boring.

 

[Cathcart]

Paid online is fine if it's good, everyone does it now anyway. Still wish this thing was 250, though. I'll buy it at 300 but they will have a harder time selling it when a PS4 with UC4 is 260.

 

[daveo42]

These are the joy cons

 

[Mr Git]

That teeny tiny d pad.

 

[SRTtoZ]

What is this? A system for ANTS?

 

[LordKano]

my hype is dead since the paying online announcement and the price

fucking hell

 

[Coolsambob]

This is insane tech and about as good as it could possibly be. What were people expecting?

Right?! It's great.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Ehhhh, that's a really tiny controller

 

[captain_skyhawk]

that controller looks incredibly uncomfortable

 

[Ashodin]

Am i the only one thinking it's all good so far?

You're not alone. Some people are hung up on price, battery life, etc. They think Nintendo has to offer everything for free to beat Xbox/Sony

 

[Solobbos]

This didn't really start strong. Higher price than predicted, paid online. I actually thought the battery would be about that size plus I already have an USB-C powerbank. Hopefully I'm part of the "major European countries" that gets the console day 1.

 

[Apathy]

Those controller still seem way too small

 

[vaderise]

Joycons look super cheap TBH.

 

[DjRalford]

Am i the only one thinking it's all good so far?

Yes,

At least this has made it easy for me, no buy this year.

 

[cyba89]

We already saw all of this in the 4 minute video you put out months ago.
