Interested but not 300 interested.
What I want is a Switch without the screen, just a base console + pro controller.

Gimmicky, motion bullshit, that no one will use has killed another system's pricing model.
The controllers, even the system itself, could have been much cheaper without all this garbage. They learned absolutely nothing from WiiU's mistakes.

Nintendo not even mentioning how or if Nintendo Network is going to be on the Switch is the most jarring thing to me. I hope Treehouse will talk about it during their stream but you would think that they would at least talk about it during their biggest presentation for the system.
I'm done. I can deal with the 300 price, I can get over the fact that there are 0 new games for launch that I'm interested in but PAYING FOR ONLINE IS A FUCKING JOKE. I always wanted to pay extra to play online for a game that I paid full-price.
Luckily, I have my Wii U to play Zelda.

I am so jazzed about this new Bomberman game. And it's launch too.

Zelda is the only thing they nailed with no qualification needed.
Mario looked great, but launches at the end of the year
Splatoon 2 looked pretty neat, but it looks more enhanced-port rather than full-blown sequel, plus it launches in the summer
Arms and 1,2,Switch look pretty nice, but really not what I'd buy a system for
Other stuff was old ports or games announced so early they couldn't even put together a teaser.
$300 price tag
Paid online
Just...way to suck the hype out of the room with this conference. I feel REALLY safe with getting Zelda for the WiiU and not bothering with the Switch for the first 1-2 years while Nintendo gets its shit together.
So, once again, it looks like Nintendo spent the last two years of its previous system doing fuck-all. Just like what happened with the WiiU. The Wii had nothing for the last 2 years and everyone thought it's because they were gonna blow the doors off for the WiiU. Then that got announced and it turned out they had nothing. But hey, it was their first HD console so that took some additional time, right? With the Switch they don't even have that excuse.
On the bright side I get to save $300 this March.

How much internal storage?
sd slot?
sd slot?
$399.
Well, the good stuff looked really good (Zelda and Mario look insane) and the 2 week jump in the release date was cool, but... Aside from that, it pretty much disappointed on all fronts.
Now do we trust that Pokémon is going to be there? Smash? Mario RPG thing? Where's the Gamecube VC? Where's any VC? Are there any other surprises in store as far as launch software?

I take about 1 hour and 30 minutes on the train. 45 minutes there and back.

Walmart.com preorders ARE up but you have to pay the full 299.99 UP front. So if you have the cash and are willing to spend it now go nuts!

I feel you on this. I was not truly prepared for this I guess. Just, fuck.

This thread might go too fast to get an answer... but was there anything at all about the screen being a touch screen? That has never once been confirmed right?

100% with you man.
Stayed up late, with mildly optimistic expectations. Feel massively let down. Nintendo have fucked it again it seems. Especially with regards to pricing of console, accessories, lack of launch lineup and now a charge for online services...
Gah. Nintendo, why do you have to be such heart breakers.
I mean...Mario Kart is not launch and you listed DQH twice. So I fixed for you.
We'll see if 4chan was off too, since we haven't seen a sight of Snipperclippers, even though most everything else was dead on.
I wonder what the deal is with BG&E now.

nethack is my favorite dark souls clone
No! We're mad. Be mad with us.
I wasn't going to say it, but man, the Vita launch lineup looks more appealing than this one. About triple the games available too.
Is this thing getting rushed to market?
3DS-2 for me.
Launches with a Zelda. Overpriced. Barely any games over the coming year. I'll buy one used off Craigslist when someone regrets their purchase and sells it all for $150 or something stupid cheap. Until then I'll buy Zelda on Wii U and stick to my backlog with an extra $300+ in my pocket.

If one was to give Nintendo a Playstation 4/Xbox One bundle and £80, and receive a Switch from them for free, I guess you could say they are!

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Zelda at launch, Mario Kart in April, Splatoon in June/July, Mario in October/November. That's honestly not a bad launch window.
I think you guys are forgetting how awful system launches usually are.

I think I'm going to preorder one tomorrow if GameStop opens it up and has them available, but I do not know if I will buy one at launch. It really looks like this thing will get a 3DS price drop because $300 just seems way too expensive in my opinion and I think going into the holiday season at that price would be a bad idea when the PS4/Xbox One Slim will probably be $200 or less with bundled games.
What time is the Treehouse tomorrow?

The site says March 3rd for Dragon Quest and every game I put on the list, I just checked it. (The japanese one).
in fact I missed Puyopuyo Tetris S (I don't know wth this game is tho), wich also says march 3rd.
Xbox one S is £195 right now with Minecraft. £279 will be a tough sell beyond Nintendo early adopters.

That shit looked rough. And the image quality looked not great as well.
I really like Nintendo and my expectations were probably unrealistically high for this conference, but I can't help being a bit disappointed.
Zelda looks absolutely great and it's a must have title but it feels a bit like the Twilight Princess situation. Where the killer (launch) app for the console is basically a game that should have been released on the previous console a lot earlier.
I really hope Mario will be great. The trailer made it feel more Mario Sunshine than Mario 64 which is not what I had hoped. Still way too early to tell though.
The rest of the presentation had some nice titles but I guess I expected more games, release dates and no gimmicky 1 2 switch stuff.
Keeping my pre-order just for Zelda but a launch with Zelda, a Mario 64 sequel and Splatoon would have been great.
